The Story of my Hair


I was watching Sex and the City 2 (the movie) last night, and it made me realize how much I love Carrie Bradshaw's curly locks. That love was probably what (unconsciously) prompted me to get my hair permed. Hihi. ;)

A day before Typhoon Maring entered the PAR (Philippine Area of Responsibility -- just love using the term), I got my hair permed for the first time. So far, I'm lovin' it. I would love to tell you the story of getting my "virgin" hair treated for the first time and the hours I spent at the salon (and not to mention, the money I spent). I know you would wanna hear that... 

Just kidding. Haha! That's too vain, I know.

Selfie! ;)
What I really want to share with you, since we're already talking about my hair, is a weird, little trivia about it. Everyone is complimenting my new hairdo, but little do they know that this isn't really the first time in my life that I had curly hair. You may be wondering, I just said that it's my first time to get a perm, so how come I'm saying I've had curly hair before? 

No one would believe me until I show them my photos...



I was around five years old when I first had curly hair. I was born with straight hair, then when I was in Kindergarten, my hair just mysteriously became curly -- on its own. Up until now, I can't explain what happened, neither my mom.

Bangs: curly, rest of my hair: straight
It's a weird phenomenon, really. (Or maybe I just haven't googled it yet.) When I was five, I just had curly bangs and then the rest of my hair was straight. The following year, all my hair became curly. 

How did it become straight again? I don't know. My mom started cutting my hair really short; I sported an apple cut the years that followed. I can't remember when my hair became straight again. It was probably some time between the age of seven to nine. I kinda had insecurities about my curly hair before because some people teased me, "basta kulot, salot." Whenever I look at my childhood photos now, I think that it's not really that baaaaad... (Isn't it?) Now I'm just happy I can style my hair any way I want to. :)

So a lesson to kids who have insecurities about their looks right now, when you hit your 20s, don't worry, may igaganda ka pa! ;)

Thank You for New Windows

Photo by Thea Sandoval Who doesn't love beautiful and peaceful fall mornings? All mornings spent at home are beautiful to me, but the magnificence of the autumn season just magnifies its simple beauty. Last night, we had a fun, gleeful Thanksgiving celebration with my parents' Couples for Christ family. This morning I woke up to an opposite ambience -- it was quiet and calm, with sunrays coming through the windows and all. I sat beside our living room window and I said a little "thank you" inside that all is well with my soul again. I started thanking God for all His small blessings that we fail to notice when our lives become a little less than perfect. Art from seedsoffaith.com It's been months since I was able to really stop and appreciate the beauty of life and all the gifts that were given to me. I thought this morning was the perfect time for me to reflect and say a " salamat " (thank you) for everything. First and foremost, I am thank...

In Oh Canada...

source : canada -day . ca It's Canada Day! So of course, I'm writing about it today! ;) When I was still in Canada, I always talked about the Philippines. I didn't know if it annoyed them or not, but I couldn't stop telling my friends there about how beautiful my home country is. Funny, now that I'm back home, I talk about Canada -- A LOT. I'm starting to realize that even though I badly wanted to come back to the Philippines this year, there are so many things I love (and miss) about my other home as well... and here they are: 1. Canada brings me closer to nature.  There are so many places in the Philippines that will make you feel very close to nature too. But the thing is, sometimes, you have to travel for hours and cross many seas before you reach those places, unlike in Canada. I live on the Mountain (Hamilton Mountain to be precise), so whenever I want to enjoy the view of the whole city in 3D, all I need to do is cross the street and go ...

Cinemalaya 2013 Experience

photo courtesy of Iona Magsombol So Cinemalaya 2013 has just wrapped up. Congratulations to all the winners! :) I'm happy because, finally, I was able to attend a real film fest in the Philippines. Well, I've watched a few films at the MMFF the past few years, but, it's not really... it just doesn't feel like... uhmmm ... Anyway, I've been an attendee of film fests abroad, and what kind of Filipino would that make me if I didn't support our own now that I had the chance? Given my work schedule, I was able to watch just three films at Cinemalaya this year -- which, btw, are all superb: SANA DATI courtesy of cinemalaya.org Thanks to the director of the film, Jerrold Tarog, for giving us free tickets to Sana Dati's gala night! (The company I work for co-produced the film Senior Year with Jerrold. Hence, the association and the free tickets. Hihi .) I'm happy that this was the first film I watched because it made me want to watch ...
