yep, you heard it right. a semikal.

i've been used to having a full head of hair ever since birth, aside from around 2 years of short cuts during junior/senior high school. and at times, "full" can really mean "wild, mangy, untameable". guess i just got tired of all that today. i texted a few friends for their opinions, with most agreeing with the semikal style i suggested. and since i've been itching to try out a different hair style for a while, i got just what i wanted. and i've been riding on it since 5:30 this afternoon.

so here goes the list:

10. saves time and shampoo in the shower

9. combs and hair gels are but a vanishing need

8. no more itchy ears and sweaty brows

7. long, disgusting hairs don't fall on my food anymore (just short ones...?)

6. wearing my cap looks and feels better

5. my head feels cooler (important point, with this scorching summer up ahead)

4. the surprise factor when people see you for the first time

3. people just love stroking and rubbing your head (which i particularly enjoy, for some twisted reason)

2. my widow's peak just looks plain cool (for the uninformed: the widow's peak is the sort of spike of hair growing downwards from the center of the browline. imagine dragonball hair. it's a recessive trait, and i'm now damn proud of having it.)

1. *semi*bald is sexy (or so i've determined in the last 3 hours)

now, i just can't wait for tomorrow's mall gimik and overnight, and wednesday's debut.

the surprise factor will be well worth it!
