How freaky are you?
Shoe freak.Not me!!lol
The best example I guess, of a shoe freak was my ex-colleague in a Travel Company I was working for,way back in the late 90’s.He was known as ’casanova’ apart from being known for his brightly shoe- shining obsession. E was working as travel guide for the company.We called him ‘E’ (his name) if he’s around but otherwise,we baptized him as the ’papillon’.kumikinang kasi pati noo,may pomade ata hehe
I’m used to the clean-cut clothes travel guides wear in the company(Turkish Style kunbaga) Maski Janitor naka- tie,hehe.They want to make sure a very kind of impression as much as they can.Umm,wag lang amuyin paa at kilikili hehe But papillon went to a bit of too much when it came to his shoes.There was no day for him not in search of a shoe shine boy along Sisli (street adjacent to our office).I thought,papillon was suffering from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) or something, lol Gaano mo ba kadalas dapat pakintabin sapatos mo ha?or maybe he had a military background.Well,men in uniform only wear spotless shoes right? ay,hindi nga pala palagi,lol Perhaps, he was taught to be a perfectly neat freak as a child?plantsado from head to toe ,anong say nyo?!!hehe Ah well…
What I’m saying is that,I used to think that only women shoes achieved such importance but truth is,shoe freak was applied not just for women but for men,too.A man and his shoes are a combination statement that do a lot of telling about the person and what he is like.

“E” or papillon sounds like my father! No kidding! Sige gyud ug shine akong papa sa iyang mga sapatos (pero la jud ko niliwat!), la na lain trabahoon! Sa bata pa mi, among school shoes sinaw pos kaayo -thanks to Papi..heheh…Must be because he used to be a shine boy when he was so young.

You want to play a trick on shoe shine? Buy him a pair of shoes with natural shine and when he shines then they will get dull. LOL
