Changing habits
It has become habitual for me to take a bath at least twice a day. One in the morning before I go to school and another right after school. Taking a shower helps me relax and prepares my body for school work.
In taking a bath, the usual rituals are expected: the lathering of soap on the skin, the brushing of teeth and the shampooing of the hair. One of these bath conventions I violated and that is the shampooing of the hair.
Back when I was in high school, I hate it when my hair is fluffy and smooth because the application of hair gel and hair wax becomes more difficult in the sense that the hair just won't settle. It happened to me that I overused the hair gel and it felt uncomfortable and sticky during the entire day. What I did is to stop applying shampoo on my hair. It solved the fluffiness but I am faced with the problems of odor and stickiness. Only then that shampooing the hair once even if you take a bath twice helps. I can get to wax my hair easily without the bother of odor and stickiness.
Sometimes, I don't apply wax anymore. Like today, my hair has become rather longer so it settles better.
Hair.
maybe I should get a hair cut.

Pepeng and the Evening News
My eyes were set on evening news because of the anticipated Pepeng storm when I heard the News Anchor comment on a news report about the mass wake of the poverty-stricken victims of the typhoon Ondoy.
The news anchor said "Kawawa..."
I find it off that this news anchor would comment that way. It is like adding insult to injury. I do think that some of the victim's situations are nakakaawa but to magnify that on air is a stab to their collective dignity.
I think news anchors and all media personnel should inhibit sharing their affections and/or opinions on air. They should only deliver the news as it is. They should feed the information-thirsty people the what, when, how, why, who.
Opinions should be aired on some other program and not a news program. That is why I think newspapers are better. Facts are on a seperate sheet as opinions.
Only news and no shit please.

Pepeng and our neighborhood
I hope Pepeng would veer away from NCR and spare Manila. This afternoon, it rained and it reminded every commuter the damages that Ondoy have left.
Traffic again.
