hair-y after harry

i cut my hair... again. this time, it really is very short. one minute i was watching hermione (harry potter) on my laptop and then the next time i knew i was holding a pair of stained scissors and did my hair. i don't know what made me do it! it may the sleepiness at 12mn. or the excitement of going to baguio for the first time. or the weather. or the alignment of venus to jupiter. or whatever, i don't know. i could have attribute it to lunacy but it wasn't even full moon at that time. and then i slept afterwards. didn't even contemplate on that outburst, blimey! (eh, that's very harry potter-ish!)

i just realize it this morning when i saw the cut hair scattered on the table. i was so shocked that i immediately grabbed the mirror and looked at the damage. i never had been happier of sporting a curly hair, coz the damage is unnoticeable.

what's rosy of having curly hair is that it's hard to tell if the cut is awful, coz really, the hair itself is awful, nobody cares about the cut! i think nobody even know that i had a new haircut. ugh! i always hate my hair.

i already did this before. twice! the first time was when i was 5 years old. everyone in the class had bangs and i asked mama if i could have one. she wont let me coz i look prettier in one-length hair kuno! so, i put my bangs's fate in my own hands and cut it by myself. i must had cut it really short that the remaining bangs rested right after the scalp. and it was frizzly and dangerously strewn in every direction! god, that was a disaster! i even had a childhood photo with the infamous bangs. i carried the humility for days and i hated it when that incident will be brought to a family table discussion. i don't know who did i look more at that time, bert or ernie [in sesame street].

bert and ernie

lesson learned: mama was right, i looked prettier in one-length. and i never, even once, did dream of having bangs again.

sidenote:

then, while riding a jeepney on the way to the office, a guy (with tattoos and piercings all over his body) in front of me fancied the same hairstyle. i almost yelped "really?!".

that's how i started my day.
