girly for a change
So after everyone found out about my lame eyebrows last week, on Friday, Hai's mom asked me if I was busy on Saturday and she planned on us going to a salon place so she could get a pedicure and I could get my eyebrows fixed. I was a little nervous- hanging out with only his mom, more people seeing my lameness.. You know.
But it turns out that hanging out with his mom isn't so bad. She is a lot different role model compared to my mom. My mom is cook, clean, do everything for the family. His mom is more independent and doesn't necessarily sacrifice everything about her to her family. But the circumstances for her are different in comparison. But I really believe that taking the best from both mothers is important in helping me understand how I need to be.
Something I took away from our date was that by taking care of myself and making myself feel good and happy is equally as important as taking care of my family. Self respect is a must. Because the example my mom gives to me is that I need to do everything for my family before I can do anything for myself. And if I don't look after myself, no one else will. So. Lesson learned.
Besides getting my eyebrows fixed, his mom talked me into a pedicure for the first time. I obliged and the experience was surprisingly satisfying. But I also felt awkward having such a pretty lady bent over my feet and whatnot. It made me feel really pampered and like royalty. But I guess that's the point? They painted my toe nails too and I had his mom choose a color for me. She chose pink. They did a neat flower design that I thought was really cute but lol I dunno I think my feet look a little strange but it was cool. :)
Yep. So I got my eyebrows and my toesies did. Now that my brows look nice (which I think they are), I feel more confident looking at people and not wanting to avert my eyes so people won't try to scrutinize my face. I also feel that I'm ready for a new look for my hair. :) I'm actually really excited about this!
And hanging out with Hai's mom was pretty cool. It wasn't awkward or scary or anything. Really chill. :) I hope we go back again some time soon. She said that next time we would take along Hai's little cousin Tina. She is super sweet and I'd like to hang out with her too. :3 aww.
