random thoughts
By Grace on Mar 24, 2007 in personal thoughts
- I had a great day-off yesterday. Just stayed at home and watched the outside world around me unfurl from the balcony of our flat, more than a hundred meters from above the ground.
- Lots of zzzz’s yesterday courtesy of hubby who took care of everything so I can rest.
- I cut hubby’s hair yesterday. He will be having a job interview tomorrow. I know, I know! it’s not a good idea to have an amateur to trust with haircutting matters, most importantly, not before a very important job interview!
- But M is so brave to give me the comb and barber shears, with a come-what-may attitude!
- I could never trust him with my hair — I am so taken aback he trusts me 100% with his.
- After more than 30 minutes of snip-snap-snip-snap-snip-snapping, M was sporting a new, shorter haircut and a fresher face.
- I did it! and the result!? Awesome! (according to my client).
- I guess this will be a start of a lifetime career as a family barber!
- My father doesn’t need to go out for a haircut since being married to my mom for the last 30 years.
- I am having a gut feeling I am following that path of hers. Dreading it but after starting it right, hubby is happy we will be saving on barber fees every 2 months!
- I didn’t know small talents like haircutting can be passed from one generation to the other *wink*
- Sorry, I am making this a very big deal because IT is!
- I am a little proud of my newly found *ahem* talent.
- Meanwhile, Pristine was acting a little strange yesterday, like a grumpy old woman, really. From the way she complains about anything, you’d think you are dealing with someone having a mid-life crisis.
- I dreamed of a male friend yesterday. I must be dearly, badly missing him so much. In my dream, he was coming out of the closet!
- He is still in my thoughts today. I would love to write him about my dream but dread that he might be mad at me for being suspicious about his gender. I hope he is not jumping into the other fence, really.
- I took a very early bus today, around 10 minutes than the usual. No traffic today, I arrived in the office 15 minutes after I boarded the bus, which is before 8 am.
- I didn’t realize I am living very near the office, if only there were no traffic!
- Usually, it takes me more than 30 minutes to arrive. There’s one intersection that takes 15 minutes to clear.
- Arrived very early at work.
- Horrified to see that the office door is very much closed still!
- Grabbed my favorite company — my book and started reading until I heard someone clanging with keys in hand.
- After more than 20 minutes of waiting, someone finally came and opened the office door.
- I am in no mood to work today, although I need to finish so many things. Working on Saturdays and Sundays hasn’t sunk in my system yet — I wonder if it will ever do!
- Someone told me I talk too fast. If I am talking with Canadians/Americans/British, I have no problem. In the office where 99.9% of the population are Indians, I need to slow down except when I talk with my boss.
- I find talking slowly almost like “telegram talking” very difficult.
- I find it strange (although enjoying it!) that people can actually chat and write blogs (oops!) during office hours! but I am thankful for that or else I have no other way to vent any feelings or thoughts.
- I should be back working, like, NOW.
Grace, I think I know who you were dreaming of.. I read somewhere that when we dream, it’s our subconscious talking and sending us a message. Hmmm, I would go with your idea of emailing him that you dreamt of him but leaving out the details of the dream! Of all places na asa siya puede mo gawas- sa closet pa giyod tawon na damgohan. But you know, he is a kindred spirit. You can always talk to him about anything and everything under the sun.

That’s great that you can cut hair. I’m afraid to even cut my girls’ bangs! LOL!

Divine: I already emailed him, he just laughed. This is not the first time I dreamed about him. Last year, I had him in my sleep for 2 straight weeks! you explain that!
Shiera: Blogging at the office should be your compensation for overtime =)
Cheryl: I hope my blog is readable to you in some way..there seems to be no problem with others.
Kailani: Toddler hair cutting requires another type of skill! they are always moving so it’s dangerous with the sharp, pointed shears and all!
