This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

I have received some comments and queries for the dopie sandals I wore in some of my posts. I haven’t been able to answer them and almost forgot to even acknowledge. Good thing, I checked on my previous posts. So here it is…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but you either love sandals or you positively hate them and, in truth, I personally fall very much in the latter category – though this probably has more to do with the fact that I rate feet as being just about the most unappealing part of the human body.
Having said that, I can see why sandals would appeal to others without a curious aversion to feet though it must be said that the basic design of your everyday sandal is hardly the most inspiring of forms. That could be about to change, however, thanks to this new take on sandal design known as the Dopie.
With the current popularity of ‘flip-flops’ [Havaianas, Crocs, et al], I bet that the importers of these new sandals would make a killing should they decide to bring these to the Philippines. These are called Dopie sandals. You place that notch between your toes and pray that your cool sandals don’t fall off. A strap is included for ‘Dopie beginners.’ By making sure that they bring over all the colors available, and of course by making sure that they’re unreasonably expensive, the flip-flop fashionistas would be on this like stink on poop.
Apparently the result of a “search for a sandal in a simpler and purer form”, the Dopie, apart from having a cool name, are manufactured from EVA and rubber so as to provide comfort promoting flexibility whist being light and are designed to remain firmly attached to your feet courtesy of a sole that folds up between the toes. And, for those new to wearing Dopies they even come with a detachable strap to assist beginners with learning how to wear them.
Dopie is best to be worn when going out and strutting it around the metro but not on beaches or rough roads.
I got mine for Php1500 at Chocolate Clothing Co., Robinson’s Galleria. Not all of their stores have these sandals though.
