I went to get my hair cut, after it's been about three months since I've seen the salon. I asked for the "magazine with the Korean girls on it" and Auntie Vangie knew exactly what I was talking about. She's cool when she's not being a FOB. Anyway, so she gives it to me and I flip through as I try to find a good cut for me. I kept asking Kaisser for his opinion, but he was being a jackass and saying that every single one wouldn't look good on me because I was darker than the girls in the pictures, and that my hair wasn't nice curled. :[ WHATEVAAAH. I ended up picking something good anyway, and Xyza liked the one I chose for her, too. ^-^ Man, do I have good taste in hair. I also got this spiffy cellophane treatment to make my hair shiny, but I don't really know if it worked because I can't see it. It was basically a nice-smelling shampoo wash, then weird leave-in cream, and UV light shone on my hair, that's it. But it was worth it, because it was pretty relaxing. Man, I need to get than done more often! And then I went back in the chair to get Part 2 of my haircut, and this other FOB lady who I've never seen in my life before came up to me and started speaking in Tagalog to me. 0_e I didn't even know she was talking to me, so I wasn't looking at her at all. Auntie Vangie had to spin the chair around and tell her that I was "Engrish speaking" (I'm not even kidding, she said Engrish. I have never heard someone say it like that before. xD). Then the lady asked me if I was on my period, and the conversation went basically as follows:
Lady: "Ah, my dear! Do you have period?"
Me: "Uh, do I have my period? Like right now?"
Lady: "No, no. Uh, are uh... do you have the monthly period? Have you started the menstrual cycle yet?"
Me: "Well, yeah..." :T
Lady: "So you wear pads, ha? You know, the pads here in the States leak. They leak. And then, they stinks after your bloods go on it. But this one (*pulls out weird pad*) does not stink. Here, you smell! And it will not leak. The one you using, it leaks. But this one will not leak. Even if you will wear for one whole day, no leaks. You do not have to change it after you put it on."
Me: "... Ew." (Like hecks I'm gonna wear a pad the whole day! Freaking gross! x[ )
Lady: "You know, my husband uses this pad, too." ;)
Me: WTF, sex change?!
Lady: "Yes, when he has the back pain, he takes this pad and rubs it on the hurting spot! This pad has herbal ingredients in it so it will not stink and it will absorb everything. It is good."
Me: "Is this new? What brand is this?"
Lady: "No, no brand. This pad is not in the States yet. It is from Korea. It is illegal in America."
And that is what absolutely broke the deal for me. Someone else started talking to her and obviously didn't care about what she would be putting under her vag, because she bascially bought a year's worth of those foreign pads. I just sat there and watch my hair get snipped away some more, and viola! Nice hair. I really, really like it. (: I went to the mall, too. But I only bought some facial wash and body spray. I'm no good saving things.
I had quite a few epiphanies this weekend, but (in the words of Mr. Sullivan) that's a story for another day. ;D
