And all the guys in the picture had long hair, like that Crispa basketball team picture I posted in another thread. My dad had glasses similar to what I wear today.

Yeah Aureo Alonzo was big then. On par with Pitoy Moreno or even bigger? It's a good thing your dad didn't wear a cummerbund around his waste and butterfly cravat. Speaking of "get-up", I used this term once and said to a friend, "Hey, nice get-up." And she said that this was a unique term and the first time she heard it used in that context.

Hmm, I never thought of that term before. I always just used it. Is it an Americanism? Or is it from Filipino slang?

Ok, I just checked it in info.com and I got this:

get-up

Pronunciation: (get'up"), [key]
—n.
1. getup.
2. get-up-and-go.
get•up

Pronunciation: (get'up"), [key]
—n. Informal.
1. costume; outfit: Everyone will stare at you if you wear that getup.
2. arrangement or format; style: the getup of a new cookbook. Also,get-up.

So, I guess it is slang. And don't use it as a compliment since it implies the get-up is costumey.

Well they said tsinelas (or flip-flops as the saucy peeps call it) are really comfy especially when walking for hours in the mall.

I'm still not sold on the idea of buying a Havaianas, and besides, I don't have the money yet, so I just settled for a more affordable pair of flip-flops from Human (saka ang cute nung print eh). And the financial damage is just 129 pesos unlike a Havaianas which will cause greater damage to my wallet.

I can get away with wearing flip-flops to work on "Casual Fridays," my bosses don't mind it anyway.
