Long time, long hair, all short now.

In 2006, before I moved back to The Philippines to marry Marissa I suggested to her that I cut my hair. At that point I had had long pony tail for over a dozen years and just was tired of it. Plus, the Philippines was so hot I knew I wold be more comfortable with short hair. Marissa told me she wouldn’t marry me if I cut my hair, so I stayed with the long hair. Even after we have been married 1.5 years she still did not want me to cut my hair.

This time I had an excuse though. I was joining a fraternity and conservative looks are important to this group. They advised me to cut my hair. I made sure Marissa overheard that my having a pony tail could make the difference between me joining this group or not. Is it okay if I cut my hair? ‘Sure” she replied. The next day I sat in the barber’s chair, kissed my pony tail that I had at point worn for more than 15 years and told the barber to cut it off.

People tell me I looke 10 years younger and so much more gwapo. I actually look like an Amerian Business man in The Philippines and not just some junkie tourist. This is the shortest my hair has been in 35 years.
