Havaianas at Stake


My friend still owe me to date a pair of Havaianas for the favor I did to him last December 2006. I don't know exactly if it was a favor but we agreed that in case he'll be accepted for the job, the the flip-flop would serve as my perk/service premium for endorsing him to the subsidiary of the company where I was previously connected. He got in to the job - ended his long profession as a bum - and had already raked hundred of thousands for the bonuses, compensation, and has gone to the various places in the Philippines likewise, but even a dummy Havaianas has not delivered on me.

From time to time, I used to remind him not for the sake of owning another Havaianas as a collection item, but to make him check his integrity. People sometimes tend to make promises without the intention of fulfilling it. Just for the sake of getting they want, they would utter spoken words out of heart. How do we really walk with our talk? This is just a matter of P850.00 i think, but I won't personally stake my virtue for that petty amount alone.

One time, as I make my usual promise check to him, he instead sent this as his response and to me the message was very audible to my ears - no more Havaianas. =)
