New look

I got a haircut and people seem to really like it. Even guys have been responding, and it's weird coz I've always thought guys never notice when a girl changes her hair.

I've been wanting to get bangs since last year, but I either didn't have time or extra cash to spend on a new look. I finally made time, and after deciding that I wasn't gonna move out, discovered that I did have extra cash (it's amazing how you realize how much money you actually have if you don't have to pay rent!). Other stylists told me before that I couldn't have bangs because my hair was too thin, so I ran to my almost-roomie/beauty guru Marie, who referred me to a stylist who could work wonders with my hair...within my budget.

So I set an appointment with Mr. Rene Vizmanos, who listened to what I wanted (with matching show-and-tell pegs) and gave his own input. I put the fate of my hair in his able hands, and he worked his magic. I was a little worried at first because it seemed like he snipped off A LOT of hair, but after a while, I relaxed. (My hair had gotten incredibly long after all. Plus I'm never worried for long when it comes to haircuts because, no matter what cut I end up with, it will grow back.) After the blowout, they were like, "Ganyan ang buhok ng mga nasa Desperate Housewives!" Er, it wasn't my objective to look like I was from Wisteria Lane, but hey, they have sexy hair, so I'll take it!

I was a little nervous about how H would react. He had never seen me with bangs. Come to think of it, I'd never seen me with bangs! The verdict? He thought it was hot. "It's like having a new girlfriend," he said. To which I replied, "The old me is jealous."

I am so lovin' this hair. I just hope I can maintain it!
