Crowning Glory Diaries

I love my hair. I even think I'm obssessed with it. I think so.

BUT I keep on murdering my hair, experimenting it with different hairstyles since I cut it back when I was in 3rd year college. Haha.

My hair was this long before I cut it short:

 Then I I had it cut this way:

SO RETRO, I KNOW.  I looked like a punk star.

 

I AM NOT A FAN OF COMBS.      

I ONLY com my hair ONCE a day, only after taking a bath. It's a habit--I'm used to this.Haha

Because I'm a tomboy and I think it keeps my hair soft and free of tangles.

I comb my hair using my fingers. So the next time that I'd use a comb will be the next day when I take a bath, something like that. Trust me, it works on my hair. haha

Anyway, here's my hair growth diary.

I had it cut last year around September for my Oath taking as a Registered Nurse, for the reason that I wont have to have my hair bunned.

 SO RETRO, I KNOW.  I looked like a punk star. 

 I CELEBRATE MY HAIR'S ANNIVERSARY. It's quite a late celebration, I know. Because I'm obssessed with my locks, here this photo blog goes. My hair diary growth every month. :D

I want to grow my hair long and wont cut it until Gabby and I would meet again. 7 months to go or maybe 2 years if I could go abroad early next year. Quiet a long time and my hair grow fast.

Just recently, I murdered and played my hair, had bangs. Haha. I cut it myself.Tsk.

I want to have huge waves next year..Oh geez. Maybe they wont let me have my hair curled because I had just dyed this again burgundy red 2 weeks ago. They say, parloristas wont have your hair curled when it has hair dye or else the precious hair will get burnt.. Gawd. I cant let that happen, burnt hair! :(

Anyway, I still cant wait to have my hair curled because the last time I had it that way was when I was in the 6th grade..so a decade ago. Haha.


 Had bangs: *on impulse again*

 

Bangs, bangs

12-15-10

I had my hair permed! OMG, curled! Not really a disaster yet my hair became dry and became 'redder' because of the chemicals. Tragic. I like it and I hate it at the same time. *sob*

Cant wait to grow my hair long and cut it again,,,maybe I will have to break my word just for this time. 


March 8, 2011

I asked permission from Gabby if I could cut my hair (yes, I'd have to ask him even if it'smy hair--we're that close.haha). Unexpectedly, he's okay with me slashing my curls. I was excited, really. I had my curls for 3 months already. I liked it, my waves were hot. However, I grew tired of it. Summer's coming up and I want anew look. I've missed my chic bob way back in college. 

Last photo of my curls

I couldn't wait to go home and have a haircut from Jose, our local beautician. He has done my haircuts ever since. When I had my hair short way back, he'll change my hairstyle every 2 months. And I'm hooked to him, even aunt. He was the one who curled my hair too. In short, ONLY JOSE TOUCHES MY HAIR.


I am obsessed with my hair, I admit that. My curls had gone dry and I'm not comfortable anymore. So..

Hello bob, I've missed you.

I had the super haircut. SLASH. Almost murder. And I like it. So carefree and gives me another reason not to comb my hair. Haha. Hello summer! :)

Great Ukay Finds!

Finding nice clothes and clutches in Ukay-ukay stands is a challenge for me. The cheaper, the better: I'm happier! haha
It feels rewarding to have great Ukay finds at a cheap price. I dont have much time to drop by at our local market where people also flock to find good things there.

The prices of these pouches areoverwhelming, you'd be shocked.

P5 (PURE LEATHER and very soft)

P5 bag.  (My cousin though this costs P200)

P60 bag (This one is my favorite)

P10 (My kikay kit)

P10 ( this on'e nice too!)

See? Isnt this hot stuff and cheap? makes me happy..hahahaha :D

Bookish

I am so busy doing NOTHING these days. I have lots of books from Booksale and Lola Manay's mini library, plus my neighbor's book collection. I CAN'T resist buying books from Booksale every time I drop by. It's so addicting. The P10 books I have purchased last week are all incredible. Haha. ALL (as if I have read all of them already!). I just know, okay?? I still have a LOT of books to read. I can't manage my time so well (what's new??lol) that I can't even blog regularly nor write on my precious journals. So harsh. Haha. Still, I am happy. These books are just here, I'm gonna read them any time I want or any time possible.

I am into suspense thrillers and romance novels with  medieval time settings. Indian culture fascinates me too! The Native American Indians--my neighbor has a lot of books about this tribe and Oh my, they are good books--very informative. I find them interesting.
Stories/novels about Cow boys, Vikings and royalties are my favorites. They make me visualize the kind of life the past had.I can feel the history or the way of living that I never had. I learn a lot. And these books are really more interesting than NURSING books. Hell yeah, that's true!

Because these books are just here, I will take my precious time in reading them. *sigh*
Though it took me almost 1 week to finish the last novel that I have read. I can't believe it! Normally, I can finish a book in a day. I am this busy. Haha. Busy..lalala. Whatever. Books don't eat most of my time.


I promise to read more, manage my time well and write more.
I can do this. :)

Beyond Skin Deep: loving. waiting. thirteen.

Beyond Skin Deep: loving. waiting. thirteen.: "Through the lengthening shadows of time. my hand in yours, yours in mine. So familiar. So true. So forever. Days ago, I thought November..."

loving. waiting. thirteen.

Through the lengthening shadows of time. my hand in yours, yours in mine. So familiar. So true. So forever.

Days ago, I thought November 13 would be a Friday. Everyone dreads Friday the 13th while I love it and always look forward for this certain day of the year. I love the number thirteen ever since Gab and I became a couple. But of course, our special day is every 13th of the month and every December is our anniversary. I love freaky Fridays that as every new year unfolds, I grab the calendar and look ahead for the certain month where Friday the 13th would fall. Weird.

As everyone awaits for something bad to happen, I am very eager for something good to happen. Haha. So me. 

And today is November 13, 2010 and it's a Saturday: Our 59th month together= 4 years and 11 months of loving each other.

Yes, loving each other so much. A very special day yet we are not together. He is currently onboard, working as a seafarer and almost half way around the globe away from me. Harsh, very harsh. It's just barely 2 months since he's been away. Seven months to go. Oh lala.

I have a doctorate degree in waiting. This is the third time that he left for work with 9 months contract each time. I am forever waiting.

I will wait and wait til he comes home, every time. This is me, ever optimistic that each day that unfolds, our reunion becomes nearer.

We may be far from each other yet love is not lost because of the distance. Instead, we love more deeply and treasure each other more than anything in this world. 

"What distance takes away are the things I miss the most. "

Very true. I miss him every minute that we are not together. 

I miss him terribly but losing him is worse than hell. I'd rather miss him like this. I know he feels the same way. I know, I just know. I know him too well.

I am happy knowing that he loves me so dearly. That God loves us. That I am very lucky.

Everything is more than alright.

I can't wait to be in his loving arms again and be happier. 

I am waiting. Waiting to be near him. 

*PS: He called around 5:30am! I am very happy and surprised.  Hearing his voice 1st thing in the morning on our special day seems like he just gave me sweet butterfly kisses on my cheeks. :* We are ever sweet. 

HAPPY 4 YEARS AND 11 MONTHS TO US, LANGGA! I LOVE YOU, MORE THAN WORDS.

Too Busy Doing Nothing

Darn. It has been ages since I have last written a blog, same way with writing on my journal.

What have I been doing the past weeks? Gawd. A lot. Yes, a lot that I couldn't even remember what I am supposed to write here.

Blah blah blah. I was so busy doing a lot of things that I feel like I had been doing nothing. This feels weird. What have I done aside from waiting for good news? *sigh* The trend is like this: Go on duty, sleep on day offs, facebook and emails. It's more like a routine.

Maybe I'm just bored or something. The past days I have been playing badminton and dancing with my niece. More like a consolation. Yet I am happy. I have been laughing, yes. Still I feel bored. 

I just need to get away so that I won't feel this way.

Too busy doing nothing, it is. I feel tired each day yet I feel like I've never accomplished anything at all.

I will get away soon for another adventure. I need to go somewhere. Another nature trip, perhaps.

And oh, I wrote this to check if my site is still working.
I have a lot of things to blog soon.

*PS: thank you Loissa dearest for checking on my site. Now I will have to make you laugh again with all these corny doodles.

Soon. haha
