Princess and Poodle hair both starts with 'P'
So i've permed my hair on monday.
Most people have been kind with their comments so far, despite the fact that i was depressed over it for the initial two days n think i look like a poodle for the rest of the week so far.
But at least the people who matters like it. (Madness!!)
Wanted to rebond back my hair as soon as my curls loosened (or rather, closer to Christmas to allow some down time for hair to recover from all these chemical treatments), but i'm not so sure now.
Dyeing and highlighting couple weeks later. Shall see how from there.
Who noes, curls may have loosened so much already i can actually utilize my 1-for-1 and perm it another time before Chirstmas... -.-;;
Whoever's looking for a cheap perm (half of 35bucks) and dun mind that its not done by professionals can drop me a line.

Unto others
So marks the end of my two month long stint as a temp in the law firm.
I learnt some new things about how others see me in this short time, not jus from colleagues, but oso from relatives n such.
Its been a busy period, let me summarize.
IRC and translations. Compounding group birthday card for fren in USA. Fave uncle's passing away n 7-day/nite wake. School administrative stuff. Work all these while, and now school. Throw in a few budding frenships n relationship-building.
I get less than 3 hours of sleep on any typical weekday. And average a 6-hour sleep once a week.
Life has been full, but i love it. It feels meaningful to have ya hands full of something u enjoy.
Although i wud really appreciate if a day has 40 hours instead of just 24.
Some things on my mind.
Well, were anyway. Seeing as i've been using the last 3 days to catch up on compounded lack-of- sleep and havent had time to let my mind venture beyond the threshold of home.
A colleague's observation on my last day of work, that i've "received presents and reference letters left and right".
Another colleague's (this time without the acerbity in voice) desciption of my people relation skills and her views on a person's likeability.
Relatives' similar descriptions.
Superiors' coincidental, but simultaneously similar well-wishes, "You will go far".
They forgot, kindness begets more kindness. I only give as much as i receive.
Its a mantra i've held my whole life - to treat unto others how you want them to treat you.
Granted, ya kindness may not always be appreciated or reciprocated. But those are the exceptions.
I may still give more than they do. I may still hold a smile in place where they avert their eyes.
But i'm gratified by the warm hand clasp on the very last day, and the eyes shining with words not eloquently expressed.
For i know i have broken through.
