One of my biggest personal struggles is getting my hair curled. Successfully, that is.The Farrah Faucet look. Cindy Crawford’s. Dawn Zulueta’s.
The long, wavy, seductive hair …. Wow… Sexy! Who wouldnt want this????
This is what I am talking about!
It seemed that every time I tried to perm my hair, it ended up in disaster and my friends screaming in complete disgust. My school I.D.’s captured those moments, and now I dont blame them for being terrorized at the sight. Never talagang bumagay!
<- Me in High School, Circa 1987
Me in College, Circa 1993 ->
Last summer, I tried again… I think I looked good… but why is the picture blurred?
Kahit 2007 na, hindi talaga tinablan ng camera….
I was about to do another drastic curling attempt, without hubby’s approval, when I got a call from the most important person in my life — my hairdresser. She asked me if I remembered my hair being cut 12 inches and then sent to charity.
Hah! How can I forget? That was the day I hated my hair so much that I had it chopped off.
Wigs for Kids, a non-profit organization, received my donated hair. This organization collects hair to make it into wigs for kids that lost their hair from 
chemotherapy treatments. Apparently human hair makes the best wigs. I gave them a hair that was healthy (I got no split ends), untreated (I don’t color my hair, got no time nor money) and clean (wala po akong kuto).
I always forget that I am God’s work of art. My divine Lord created me for a reason. He gave me this long, black, shiny hair… SO IT CAN BECOME A WIG.
Bwahahahah!
O sige na nga, I’ll love my hair na! Balik straight!

> I am Jose Jay T. Templonuevo, a UN Volunteer with the United Nation Operation in Cote d’ Ivoire. I come from the province of Aklan. Two towns were tremendously damage by typhoon “Frank ” that hit Philippines a week ago. This are the tows of Numancia and Kalibo. As much as 10,000 plus household were affected by the typhoon, foods has long been depleted and most of the livestock’s are dead. Until now there is no electricity and communications have not been fully restored that is why not much of news has gone out and not every one knows about the extent of the damage. Our local water utility is not functioning due to the damage on its system so there is a urgent need of drinkable water. The people of Numancia and Kalibo are in dire need of help.
