A haircut to forget

Ever had that feeling when you want to do something different about your hair or to your looks? Was there ever a time in your life that you wanted to look a certain way so bad that you obsess over it? Well, I have. 


There was this time in my life when I was soooooooo over my long, thick, curly hair. I had my hair up to my butt then, and It took me about 5 years to grow it that way. I know having long, thick hair looks beautiful on women, but when you've had the same hair for about 5 years, it gets kinda boring at some point. One day, I decided to do something about it.



Le me thinking of getting a cute haircut


I was thinking of getting one of those cute Korean-like hairstyles; specifically a curly bob with bangs. I was also thinking getting it colored to a deep shade of red. I could already envision myself in that kind of hairstyle. I imagined looking so chic and classy with it and that particular thought lingered for a long time until I eventually became so obsessed about it. 



So off I went to the parlor. I chose one that offered affordable (read: CHEAP) haircuts since I was on a tight budget at that time.  

As I entered the parlor, I was greeted by this chipper looking  hairdresser. He (he's gay, okay?) asked me what kind of haircut I want and I told him "Just cut it short, but leave some bangs on" I told him I wanted full bangs since I wanted to look cute like those Korean girls with their short bobs with bangs.


"Cut it short Le hairdresser!"




 Le hairdresser chopped off my locks and did a few snips here and there. 


*snip, snip snip* went his trusty scissors

*snip, snip, snip* it went some more


After a few minutes of witnessing the brutal murder of my hair. Le hairdresser showed me the final result of my haircut:

Le horror!
I did not look like the cute, chic Korean model in my mind. I looked horrible. Le horror! I could not even imagine how I was supposed to go out of the parlor looking like that. My hair looked like it was fashioned out of a cereal bowl. My life was basically over.


Le fuck!



I felt like I seriously wanted to go into hiding forever.


Got a haircut horror story? Why not share them? :)

of rain and cuddles and every little thing that's nice

The weather was somewhat chilly when I woke up this morning. I felt cold too since the electric fan was blowing full blast thanks to the stupid roommate. (grrrr) Anyway, when I looked up the window, I saw that it was raining so, maybe it explained why it really felt cold (Like,DUH!). 
splatter, splatter the sound of the rain on my windows go
 I don't really like the rain because I hate getting my clothes wet when I go out. Okay, i know some of you might be thinking: "get an umbrella, duh!" But hey, you can still get wet even if you have an umbrella coz of they wind! And besides I don't like getting my shoes wet, too.  But there are a few things I like about the rain:

FREE HUGS!

It is usually cold when it rains and I know most of us look for a blanket or something to hug on to when it is cold. I love the rain because I get free hugs from my bofyriend! HAHAHA!  


hugs are the best when it's from someone you love <3


HOT SOUP

Whenever it rained, my mom used to cook hot soup for us. This could be chicken noodle soup, chicken macaroni soup, egg drop soup, mushroom soup, crab and corn soup AND ANY KIND OF SOOOOUUUUUPPPPP! I love soups especially creamy soups. But what makes soups extra special is when they're served on rainy days. A steaming bowl of soup is enough to fill and warm you up on a cold, rainy day.


a bowl of chicken macaroni soup or any creamy soup is heaven!


 HOT CHOCO, YUM YUM!


Aside from soup, what other better way to warm your tummy than to drink a mug of hot choco? Hot chocolate is best served with marshmallows on top.. Ooooooh just thinking about it is enough to make me drool. LOL! 

a cup of hot chocolate to warm the tummies


 ICE CREAM *_*


 Okay, some of you might really find it weird but I crave for Ice Cream every time it rains (or gets cold). I find it weird too, but I don't know, Ice Cream tastes better for me when the weather is cold too! HAHAHA. One time, I bought an entire 1.5L tub of ice cream just for myself. It felt *wonderful* lol


yummy ice cream


I CAN WEAR JACKETS!

Let's face it: in a country with a tropical weather such as the Philippines, wearing a jacket makes one look out of place. Also, although wearing jackets look "cool" to some, it can get pretty hot inside it. This is why I love the rain, it gives me reason to wear my jacket and not look stupid or out-of-place since everyone else wears jackets, too! :D YEY!



Jackets keep you warm on cold, rainy days



How about you guys, what do you like about the rain? :)


Oh, and yes, all images in this post were made by me. Thanks to Microsoft Paint..LOL
