LSS OF THE DAY: "DONT FORGET TO REMEMBER ME" BY CARRIE UNDERWOOD
I did some random downloading the other day and I just selected the songs that had nice titles; and I'm telling you now, there were a lot of them. This song made me cry when I first heard it. The story is about Carrie moving out on her own for the first time; we all know that in the U.S., when you reach the age of 18, everyone expects that you leave the comfort of your parents' home and find your place in the world. This song tells exactly that same story. Listen to it, you'll love it
I just noticed, that almost every country song that I heard is like a narrative. There's this song, "Jesus Take The Wheel", "Blaze of Glory", just to name a few. Just thought of mentioning it
While listening to that song, I suddenly realized that I was also 18, but I'm not required to leave and be on my own; well, technically, I am on my own since I am in Manila most of the time. Filipinos take pride in their close-knit families and my family is no exception. Maybe that's why.
I had another haircut today. I can't believe how fast my hair grew back after two months. I even had it relaxed because it was starting to curl up. I can't wash my hair for two days which is a bummer because I'm used to shampooing it every night so now I have to constantly remind myself not to get it wet when I'm taking a bath. My hair still smells like the salon.
At first, I went to David's Salon in Nepo because I thought that I was going to have my hair done there. But when I told my Mom, she said I should have gone to HeadZone in CSI because their hair treatment lasts longer. I scolded myself for not remembering the conversation we had before when we were comparing the two salons; but it wasn't entirely my fault. She should have reminded me before I left the house. So I told Mom that I'm gonna have my armpits waxed (very effective, but very painful) and have my hair trimmed so I can go straight to the relaxing when I get to the other mall. I waited for the people there to fix the stuff and when my name got called I immediately expected my usual waxing person, but she wasn't there. They let this other girl named Jin (or Gin, I don't know that spelling) to wax me. I wasn't disappointed because she was a great conversationalist. We talked about anything and everything. I kept on laughing at her snide comments and witty remarks about guys and marraige (yes, we talked about those too
) so I temporarily forgot about the pain as she stripped off the cloth with the wax from my armpit. When she was done, I had my hair trimmed and then I was off to CSI.I stopped over at our house to get a drink of water. It was so hot and I sweated a lot so I needed to rejuvenate. I so don't wanna faint all over Dagupan
When I got there, there ween't a lot of people so I was next after a few minutes. First, they shampooed my hair, dried it, then put this rather smelly gunk on my hair and left me for about thirty minutes or so. After that, they did the same procedure; shampoo, dry, put gunkgy stuff, leave me for awhile. They washed my hair three times and they put that stuff two times. The guy who was drying my hair was pretty entertaining. At first glance he looks all macho andstuff; but when he opens his mouth, everything you thought about him goes flyin' out the window. He starts gossiping about the other customers in this rather, gayish, way, which was very amusing. The blow dryer was making me sweat like hell! Come on, blow drying your hair three times some minutes apart can hurt the back of the neck too, you know. Finally, I was done after two hours!
It's not very noticable in the picture though.
Definitely shorter though
Melanie even took pictures of me with the gunk in my head. I forgot to bring Tori (my digicam) so I can't show you guys how I looked; sorry.
Mom and Patsy followed a little later. We ate in Shakey's then we bought my new school shoes and supplies for my dorm. We went to Rubis on our way home and bought Potato Bread before finally going home.
I still have to wake up Dad. He's going to Manila in a few hours then he's off to the States! He'll be back by July 14.
I wish I could say more but I'm exhausted.
'Til next time, y'all!
