Finally, my 50 centimeters long hair was cut!

The whole day is gloomy and our land is still muddy. Since the back of our house is not cemented, when it rains the land becomes muddy. However, whenever it rains I loved it. My plants and flowers are being watered freely which I think is best for them. Nature to nature contact. This is the start to see the farm to turn greener and work on it.

I am writing this article while eating my snack. My father bought two whole white loaves with cheez whiz. Before I forgot my grandpa visited us earlier this morning and brought us peanut butter and peanut brittle. I'm sure all of us likes peanut brittle. It is perfect to consume after we had our meal. It's sweetness, crispness and easy to bite makes me wanted to eat it more.

I cooked some fish for tonight. I add vinegar, salt, pepper and chili then boil it for 15 minutes. We still have salted eggs and I will chopped onions and tomatoes to add, then it's ready to serve. Unfortunately, we don't have soup tonight because we already consumed the pork sinigang during lunch.

Hair is the best decoration for our body. It covered our top head, eyebrow, eye lashes, skin and some part of our body. We can see hair everywhere in our body. Can you imagine your body without hair? Like no hair at all.

I am thinking about what if I no longer posses hair now? What would I look like? Most probably people will laugh and call me an alien, sort of. People will judge you because a person without hair is unordinary. It is rare to find people who doesn't have hair at all.

In January 26, 2020 was my last hair cut. I still remember clearly why I decided to cut my hair that day. We are about to celebrate the Feb-ibig night which is an event in our school. The said event was to gather all freshmen to senior college and get to know each other. Lucky you if you meet pretty girls and handsome boys, then ask you out.

In fact, I don't know what is the name of my haircut. Since young, the only haircut I knew are mohawk and army cut. The rest are all the same to me except if it's painted with colors. I told to the barber to trim my hair and that's it. No fancy hairfut style. Since 2015, I don't go to barbershop to cut my hair, instead to my favourite salon. They are so professional. They are all women, no gays if you wonder.

So why my hair grew so long and reached 50 centimeters or about 19.69 inches? Honestly, I still can't believe how my hair grew so fast just in 2 years. Yes, I didn't neither cut nor trim my hair since January 2020. Can you imagine how long my hair is? I know all girls know how long it is. In fact, I didn't choose to grow my hair long. I was just afraid to go outside and get covid virus since salon is fully covered and air-conditioned. I'm afraid that due to my carelessness will bring disaster to me and my family. Meaning, the main reason is I am health concious and that's totally okay.

I was struggling everyday due to having long hair. Whenever I wake up in the morning, my hair was messed up and the moment I combed I kept losing my hair. Whenever I shampooed my hair, it needs a lot of shampoo because a little is not enough. No bubbles even. Whenever I go outside and the wind is strong, my hair just keep blocking my eyesight and it irritates me. Whenever I tie my hair, I feel like my hairline in my forehead is backing off. It's my first time to have this hair so long and I can't handle it properly.

One time my sister asked me to get her moral certificate in her school. She needs it because her current school was asking to complete all the requirements needed. Moving forward, when I went to her school in junior high-school and asked about if I can get my sister moral certificate. I was shocked how I was called by the teacher assisting inside. Since my hair was long, I also didn't tie my hair since it's still quite wet and I wore a face mask. She said "Yes Ma'am, what do you need? Do you have an appointment?". Like I was stunned for a moment and registered how she called me. I said I'm a sir and not a madam. She just laughed and apologized gently.

That moment, I realized that people are now starting to see me as a woman because of my long hair. I actually do like a woman when I wear my face mask. But you know, I have mustache so they will know I'm a man when I take off my mask. Gosh, that push me through to trim my hair. Thus I am fully vaccinated since December. I don't want to be called ma'am, sis, and ate. It hurts my pride a lot. Kidding!

January 24, 2022 I decided to cut my long cherished hair. I actually used a pretty expensive shampoo that day since I want to enjoy my last long hair and I do know if I could achieve it again. I asked the barber if I can get my hair and she said yes. She cut and aligned my hair carefully. Then tied it with rubber band and cover with plastic. I remember what she said to me that day. She told me that I have a pretty and soft hair, and she envied me. I loved that woman to be honest, she is so gentle and friendly to customers.

Boys, would you rather have a long hair or not? Some girls find boys having a long hair attractive though.
