Not entirely used to my new hair yet. Since I'm parting my hair the other way now, the weight on my head shifted. .^^;; That wasn't too bad though and I'm mostly used to it. The really weird thing is when I run my hand through my hair. There's like... NOTHING! X.DDD The guy thinned out my hair quite a bit. I was like... staring at my hair as the chick was sweeping it away. Still weird looking into a mirror.
My next task is to get a matching wardrobe.
Anyway, this was pretty sudden so some of you may be wondering what brought it about.
I've known for quite some time now that I needed to do something with my hair but my mom was so against chemicals that she forbid me to get a straight perm.
As I was dozing off on the couch at like 1:30AM at my cousins' house, my cousin's wife Vanna apparently started talking about how she wanted to do a makeover with me. I was like, half-awake/not listening so I didn't hear any of this except when she was saying "cute and sexy but not trashy." That's the only thing I heard in the conversation. Cousins were laughing at the remark which kinda woke me and then I heard Vanna say, "I wonder if she heard that" or something, so I just repeated "cute and sexy but not trashy." I didn't realize they were talking about ME and how Vanna wanted to make me look "cute and sexy but not trashy." LOL.
But yeah, since I wasn't against the idea, Vanna got really determined and said that we'd look for a salon in the morning. Vanna was on a mission, LoL. .^^;;
So the next morning, everyone came over for lunch and then afterwards I was snuck out to
Shing's Hair Studio in the Lion Plaza. Was seated just 5 minutes after coming in and one of the guys got me started. He did my perm and Johnny, the owner, cut my hair. I have to say, I've never had my hair washed so many times in one day. X.D I was really sleepy because I'm not interested in gossip and those were pretty much the only types of magazines they had. Vanna had gone back to the house to pick up my cousins to go to the mall.
4.5 hours later, DONE! Johnny is... wow. He's a very nice guy and though he works fast, he's very efficient and knows what he's doing. He gives good advice and stuff too. Cousins were stunned when they came to pick me up. .^^;;
When we got back to the house, I had to be snuck into the house. Vanna bought me a new outfit and shoes. Not to mention she paid for my perm. Love her. .;__; She put makeup on me and then everyone was gathered in the living room. Everyone freaked as I came out and my mom didn't even recognize me, LoL. She buried her face on my dad's shoulder when she realized it was me, haha. TONS of pictures were taken. (After dinner too. .>__>;)
Was so tired by the end of the day.
Anyway, Mew's got a new look and is happy. I'm glad I didn't have to throw out my entire wardrobe to get it either, LoL.
Vanna was supposed to go back to SoCal today but decided to stay an extra day and soon we'll be back at my cousins' house for
another dinner. This is the third family dinner in as many days. .^^; We have another one Christmas Eve too. Ahh... my family... Lots of manger-jouer.
