Hair Cut
Sunday, December 18th, 2005It’s been a week now since I had my hair cut… Yet people still can’t get used to it. Actually, I am not sure if I am already used to it. 
But to be honest, I do not regret having it cut. Well, I would have wanted a shoulder length hair at least but since the hair stylist seemed to think that my shoulder is about two inches higher than where it really is, I ended up with hair just around 1 and 1/2 inches from the base of my ear.
Quite a drastic change really… since my hair was already halfway through my back - the longest it had been in my entire life. People have asked me if I donated my hair or asked the salon to make a wig out of it… actually, I did not even look at the hair they managed to cut although I assume that it must be longer that the hair I am sporting now. Once I had gotten it cut, I never looked back… hehehehe… I did laugh upon seeing my new ‘do. I can’t imagine then how people would react… (now I know…:))
I just wanted my hair short. Period. Its been at least two years since my hair length was at least shoulder length. And if hair is an "asset", I had reached the end of the "useful life" of my rebonded hair (a very good deal btw as it lasted for more than a year - thanks Prive II.. :))
My mom kept telling me a while back that I should get my hair cut as I look much older than I really am. Well, apparently my mom wasn’t wrong… I had gotten at least 5 comments from different people saying that I looked a few years younger with my short hair… I am not sure though whether I should take it as an insult or as a compliment… hehehe…
Some other reactions I got: "Sino ka?"; "Anong naisip mo at nagpagupit ka ng buhok?"; "Kung may problema ka, wag mo daanin sa buhok mo…"; "Heartbroken ka noh?"; "Mukha kang nene";
I get called Nene now (after the PBB Big Winner)… and even Say for that matter (another PBB housemate)… Why, you ask? I definitely have no idea… You will have to ask my friend Chris and some of my other officemates… (the answer though may be another story… hehehe)
Needless to say, most people wanted my hair long. But as implied earlier, I don’t mind. I wanted a change in my hair style and I got it. I am able to reduce my bath time by at least 1/4. I do not have to spend several minutes drying and combing my hair… and its a refreshing change to be called "mukhang bata" (hahahaha….)
I have a very simple answer to the question - "Why did you cut your hair?"
Ang tagal na nyang mahaba e… nakakasawa na… yun lang… hehehehe…
