Oi Oi Oi

I've shed off my hair. Hopefully I've shed some excess baggage as well.

I dropped by Reyes Haircutters this afternoon, yeah "ang salon ng bayan" fuck it. Anyway there's this pretty girl sitting there waiting for her mom to get done with her pedicure and she looks like Daisy Reyes.

I was told to sit and wait for the haircutters because they went out to eat. I didn't mind sitting there across the Daisy Reyes lookalike. I wished the whole waiting would then take hours, days until we get trapped inside because a bunch of zombies have taken over the world and I'd end up saving her after busting the skull of a dozen blood thirsty zombies using only scissors and a hair rebonding machine.

As i sat there i can't help but wonder who her boyfriend was, lucky guy i told myself, i also wondered if she's still single. Dammit i know men pulls almost everything on the book trying to pick up women in bars, restaurants, malls or parks but not inside a Ricky Reyes Haircutters branch in the middle of Monumento.

I imagined right there and then a DJ will appear and throngs of party goers and a disco ball would appear out of nowhere transforming that place into a party place, complete with Tim Yap laughing like a devil holding a bottle of champagne and Borgy standing near the door throwing punches at every guy who might approach the Daisy Reyes lookalike.

But all that happened only inside my head, we're still inside a fucking Ricky Reyes Haircutters Salon and there's no way of approaching her and asking for her name and number without ending up looking like a weird psycopath slash stalker.

Anyway the haircutters arrived and it was my turn to sit on the chair.

"Semi Kalbo but don't touch my sideburns, leave it like that" I told the haircutter.

"But sir, your hair will look thin while your sideburn will remain thicker, it wont look good"

"Okay just trim it a little bit...just a bit"

The whole thing lasted only 10 minutes, my hair lies scattered on the floor, I've gotten the new look i desire and the Daisy Reyes lookalike was still sitting by the window glass. We exchanged glances as I paid the cashier and for a moment there I thought i'd melt with the way she looked at me. But that lasted for only about 0.00005 nano-seconds.

I went out the door and headed out home uneventfully like the previous 1,000,000 days i've existed here on Earth.

I wonder if I'd see her again. Hopefully if that happens it wont be inside a Ricky Reyes Haircutter Salon....Fuck it.
