Ika nga ni Anonymous... "beauty is pain, baby!" --- ayon sa isang comment sa previous post ko. Totoo ito, kung matiisin ka o may pagka-masokista ka, you will go very far in the pursuit of beauty. A friend and I were talking about this on the train last night and he pointed out the foot-binding tradition in China, di ba extreme pain yun? Yung TULI... pwede ko bang isama yan sa listahan natin?


I recently had my hair styled. Big celebration, because I usually shave my head, and that I have actually saved half a million Japanese Yen (4Gs USD)! Heto ang home-made version, "Marukome".

The new 'do, I asked the stylist to cut it like Nakata Hide's, which prompted my partner to remark... "wow, looks like an expensive haircut, cool!" I love my partner, so honest at na-titiis nya pa rin ako after all these years I have been sporting a cheap-looking, home-grown, home-shaved hairstyle!


This is where I join the "beauty is pain club". As my partner and I stepped out of the salon, I had my first blast of freezing winter wind. I was so scared of catching a cold that night as I was going to have an opening party for my solo art show (kaya pala nagpagupit!)on the following day. My ears were already NUMB as we walked past one block. Hindi kasi ako sanay lumabas ng bahay ng walang woolen cap, but now I have to endure the freezing winter to keep the hairstyle!

In 2 weeks, mala-steelwool na ulit ito, tignan natin kung magpapagupit ulit ako, ne?
