meet the Bangs

At dahil minsan ko lang siguro gagawin‘to sa buhay ko, ikinagagalak kong ipakilala sa inyo ang bago kong partner:

The Bangs. An officemate said that while other girls have been trying to outgrow the dreaded Bangs that our moms forced us to sport as little girls, here I am getting the Bangs back into my life once again. Eh ilang beses ko na ba sasabihin? I am not other girls. Yes, hence the Bangs. Seriously, it seemed such a great idea. Until everyone’s reactions and comments. Merong parang gustong himatayin (Mama Tek), may nagustuhan (Jaime), may napa-kamot-ulo (Daddy), may nag-isip-muna-kung-sinong-nakita-n'ya sabay natawa (Big Bro), may parang hindi maka-recover, may parang hindi nila maintindihan kung anong nangyari. Overall, sabi nila bagay daw pero... ang daming pero: Lalo daw akong nagmukhang bata. Mukhang highschool. Mukhang thirteen. Mukhang gradeschool. Patay, paano na lang pag magkasama kayo ni... Waaaaah, tama na! Pag may nagsabing mukha akong kinder sasapukin ko na. Honestly, naa-amuse at natatawa lang naman talaga 'ko sa reaksyon ng mga tao. But then, it's embarrassing at the same time. If only I'd known! Alin bang shampoo na "for slow-growing hair" ang pinakamabisa? Meanwhile, magpapaka-hermit na lang muna ako. Pero para hindi naman masabing kill-joy ako: Now I feel like I'm Emily the Strange's long lost ate. Let me be known as Dindin the Stranger from this day forward. On the brighter side, sabi ng isang officemate, may alias na daw ako pag naging kriminal ako. O s'ya, tama na ang pagiging self-conscious. Pwe.
