How my P50 tsinelas saved me

I don't own an expensive flip-flops. Instead I have the imitation. It's called "Havana" and I bought it for P50 pesos only in Riverbanks Marikina. I don't think I would ever afford to but those expensive tsinelas that costs around P800 per pair. Instead, I have the most fashionable tsinelas with the flag of Brazil on its toe-thongs (is that what call it?) hahaha! I don't know.

One day, I went to an exclusive clubs in Baguio wearing my "flip-flops" (talk about intellectual property rights no?) and I didn't know that wearing tsinelas is forbidden. Upon entering a lady guard approached me.
"Sir kakain po ba kayo sa balcony"
"Opo sana" I answered.
"Sir! Di po pwede ang tsinelas dun eh... dapat magpalit po kayo"
"Naku, nadun na po yung mga kasama ko. Ma'am kahit sandali lang, may meeting lang po kami."
(and after a long debate, I went ahead to the balcony. But one of the waiter chased me, and told me my predicament.) And until a looooongggg battle defending my tsinelas, they asked me to talked to the manager of the restaurant. Then I told a great lie.
"Sir (nag english na ako) I am sorry, would you allow me to eat wearing my "flip-flops?" (the biggest lie... tsinelas lang tawag ko dun eh) and saying that with a "paawa effect"
"May I see sir" (then he looked on my tsinelas and saw the flag of brazil)
"Ah ok sir! Its a decent flip-flops naman I guess... but just please hide your feet inside the table so that others wont see it."

Whew! If they only knew how much this tsinelas costs, and clearly its a triumph of violating the intellectual property rights.
