queer eye for a square guy

"something low maintenance." that was my instruction to the senior stylist at the bench fix salon at the ELJ building when i was asked what kind of haircut i wanted. i have never been a creature of habit: routines bore me and i thrive on change, but when i went to the barbershop at philcoa yesterday, i found out that my barber of 5 years has left

Low maintainance haircut? I usually have my hair cut short and I just mess it all up. Saves me shampoo and the hassle of having to comb it before I go. =)

You said you are not a metrosexual. I know. =p

stylist? bad choice haha (abet's gonna retort hehe). anyways, i'm not also athletic. i have not so good hand, eye, leg coordination. when i was younger, i played basketball and the only asset and "skill" that i had was my height. and at badminton, i ended up as mediocre. but when i discovered endurance and adventure sports, that was an area i know i could do good in.

you could do the marathon. it is more mental then physical. besides it is a great way to see the city from another angle. i've talked to jon jon rufino, a tri athlete and a marathoner, and he tells me that doing marathons abroad is a cheap way to get to know a city.

i need to go physical soon. i can feel my flanks weighing me down... sigh. :(

@ cutebalddiver: Cheh! :p

[cutebalddiver]

ahihihi...

you said: "it is more mental than physical." since you were walking for most of the remaining 10km, is it safe to say that you lost it, or you slowed down, at least mentally during the last leg of the marathon? ahihihihi.

[cutebalddiver]

truth to tell, i lost it mentally for about a minute or so. but carla and arlene and tweet was there to kinda rescue me mentally. everything was hurting. it was pride and ego that kept me going. and happy thoughts until jing came along haha.
