the 20 euro cut

Before

After

Finally, after nine months I had my haircut! I love my long hair but I guess it badly needed a haircut. I never been to a salon for any hair treatment for the past months so I have a lot of split ends and also I wanted a new look. So, kahit masakit sa bulsa to spend 20 euro just for a haircut, go ahead! Imagine spending Php1300 for a simple cut e sa pinas e Php50 lang ang cut so that means 26 haircuts. That could be more than the total of number of haircuts i had in my whole life. Whew! That's beauty cost! Hope the 'after look' is worth the expense. You be the judge! =)

Apart

You wake up when I go to sleep...

You go home when I go to work...

You eat dinner while I eat lunch...

You're in summer heat while I'm in winter cold...

It seems like we are in different worlds now...

Home by Michael Buble

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome (In Dublin, London and Rome)
But I wanna go home

Maybe surrounded by
A million people
I Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters (emails/text) that I wrote (sent) to you
Each one a line or two“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight (in Christmas)
I’m coming back home

I'll be home, baby...

Work it out!

For the first time in my life, I enrolled in a GYM/Health Fitness. It is really one of my plans to enroll in a gym when i came here. And finally, after eight months of my stay here, I was able to fulfill that long-time plan.

It was our Malaysian friend Di who encouraged Dina and I to join. She gave us a tour to the gym where she's enrolled in. We were really impressed of the place. It's like a five star hotel. Fully-equipped, tastefully designed interiors, clean, strategically located near Temple Bar, and not to mention good looking receptionists and instructors (haha!).

There are also pool, saunas, steam rooms and fitness classes. We can just plunge or relax on the wet areas after a tiring work out. Oh life! I think the monthly euro fees will be worth it for all of those facilities.

Well, i just hope I will have discipline and time to do my workout. In the first place, it's not really the posh place that I am paying my euro for, it's for my health and fitness! (And the cute guys, right Dina? haha j/k :P)

Boys don't cry, Real Men do!

All the while i thought he's alright. I never heard him complain nor grieve since I left. But maybe after eight months, he's just human and can't keep everything by himself. My heart bursted when I heard him cried on the other line. I felt how he misses me, how he longs for me for the past months...

I felt that because I do feel the same way...
