Sporting my new hairstyle

When hormones get into my nerves and sets me in an upset and cranky mood, my initial response is to go to the parlor. Just a manicure or  a pedicure or a hot oil is already a dose of medicine and I feel better then. But the most unforgivable thing I can do to myself when I get really cranky, upset or angry is to cut my hair - short.

When I had my vacation, it was on my "to do" list to cut my hair short as it is already summer in Saudi Arabia. I had my hair cut twice as the first one was still long, shoulder length that is. Well, ok, you're right, I was really soooooooooooo upset at that time that is why my hair took the toll of my - well, already irritated hormones. 

I really did not like my new hairstyle. I was not happy about it because this was not what I have discussed with the hair dresser. But what can I do? This is not a fabric that if you don't like the style of the dress, you can have it altered to your preference. For hair? You just have to live with it for few weeks until you can do something to fix your hair.

Saturday in the Middle East is the first day of the week. It's like Monday in the Western and Asian countries. Almost everyone who have gone for a vacation were back in the palace for work. Almost everyone were surprised to see my new hairstyle.

The first one to see me sporting my new hairstyle was surprise and immediately gave compliment but

has thrown lots of questions too.

Darling, you look fabulous! Nice haircut there. It looks good on you.  (my right eyebrow raised, is it?). Well, what can I say? It's was a very nice compliment to start my day.

She then looked at me from head to toe. She saw the blue nail polish on the feet. Well, I don't wear much nail polish while in Saudi but I do in the Philippines Then she said, you really look different, with blue eyeliner and this and that. Well, I really wear light make up with  my blue eyeliner, it was just lately that I stopped for awhile with this make up thing, I told her.

She then continued, you are blooming, you look younger with your new hair, there is really something going on in here, isn't it? What do you mean by that? I asked. She said, you look so very inspired. Is there an inspiriation? Don't tell me you have a new boyfriend here. OMG as in OMG! what? a new boyfriend? You're kidding me! I don't have. I retorted. So, you are still with that guy, huh! she whispered. Well, yes, I guess so. I replied.

She then reminded me, you have also to trim your tummy, Weng. I smiled affirmatively. Well, that was positive criticism.

During the rest of the day, I received positive comments from other colleauges. The one I like most was when I am told, "you look younger with your short hair". A good day to start my week, isn't it?

                                 

I am sporting a new look and is ready to face a new chapter of my life. I am pampering myself because I want to attract positive energies. I don't want to sit in one corner whining, complaining, crying, self-pity and feeling sorry for myself. With all these trials hovering around my shoulder, I should stand up and face all of these positively while being pretty inside and out.

I can do this. Ajah!
