What I Think About Black Hair

source

Seems to me most Goths dye their hair black because.. it's black.

.. But what if you live in a country where people naturally have black hair? I say it's no fun at all.

So what does a Filipino Goth (I'm sorry if some of you hate they way I label myself a lot. I think it's because no one else in this part of this archipelago is in the subculture) have to say about black hair?

ONE

Tan skin plus black hair doesn't look so pleasing.

TWO

99% of the population has black hair, which makes yours not so surprising.

THREE 

It could sometimes imply that you're still studying.. In a strict school, to be exact.

FOUR

The ordinary hair color's constantly battling off your uniqueness.

FIVE 

It could also mean you haven't got the money to follow the brunette/redhead/blonde trend.

I'm actually not a naturally-raven-haired girl. My real hair color is dark chestnut, until I used Cream Silk BLACK and coconut oil on it. It was black until I graduated from the strict Catholic school I studied in from Elementary to High School. I dyed my 90 cm locks with copper blonde + chestnut brown + coffee purple to taste that trendy feeling of having vibrant hair. As I walked along the city streets daily with my new hair, I saw a lot of those young bitches and sluts and "It-girls" wearing plunging necklines, minishorts, and/or sleeveless and navel-showing tank tops.. with the same shades as mine, more or less.

I don't know why but I FELT DEGRADED after I thought about it.

So my thoughts about black hair kinda changed after that life-changing realization. Here's what I think as of now, since my hair's now back to black.

ONE

My hair isn't "slut-colored".

TWO

I am NOT conforming to what the youth of this generation thinks is "beautiful" or "fashionable".

That makes me happy.

THREE 

Black hair makes me look so "gawff". Haha ♥

FOUR

It could sometimes make people think I HATE TRENDS.

FIVE 

Black from head to foot makes me look darkly amazing.

Have a batty day, darklings -- raven-haired or not. ♥

The Busy Goth

SHIT BRIX! Doesn't even look Goth at all.

Hiya, bats! :(

Miss Minxie here has been getting busier every second of her life. She's also doubling her efforts in school since this is the final semester and she's aiming to climb up the Dean's List as much as possible.

I'm totally sorry, bats. :<

Here are the stuff I've been digging my nose in and preparing for nowadays:

• Short films
• A declamation contest
• A poetry reading session
• A poster making contest
• A spelling contest
• A dance interpretation
• The Otaku Fest (a CosPlay event)
• Homework, research work, projects.. school stuff.
• A presentation for my friend's Church's youth concert
• Thinking too much about how and where to get money

So I guess you guys get it by now. There are some times though, when one could just find me lurking in my room or on top the toilet in the bathroom. But that doesn't mean I'm doing nothing. Actually, when I appear as if I'm doing "nothing", I'm still busy thinking and planning what to do next and where to start. I have a whole bunch of things to do! O.O

I don't really blame anyone for getting me to a lot of contests. I was the one who actually chose to accept all the invitations, join a lot of events and activities, and study too much. My reason? It's all because I miss getting busy! I also just realized that being busy in contests and events means a lot of pictures of me are comin'.. which also means..

Get ready for a load of photos this February! ♥ xx

I haven't posted much pictures this month, I can see that.

Wait -- what did I just watch?

Painting Post: "Tea Time"

Hey, here's another pastel painting of mine that I did last summer :3 I had too much of Emilie Autumn those days xD Sorry for the ugly pastel job, though.

Bloody tea, bloody jam;
Gooey cake, I'll be damned!
Eyeballs roll, gosh I'll drool;
Eating fingers, just like a ghoul!

Please ask for permission if ever you wanna use this! :3

Monday Mourning: RIP Wiggles :(

Wiggles just died this morning.

My body was too heavy and tired to heed my little sister's warning.

"Minxie! Wiggles is so cold and weak!"

I wanted to get up and hold the poor creature in my hands but a grunt and a moan was all my strength could give. My limbs were aching all over from the whole-day walk yesterday, and I've been waking up for around 3 times in my sleep to read or reply to his text messages.

When I got up, it was 11 in the morning, and my sister's warning was all erased from my drowsy head as I answered his 20-minute phone call out in the front yard. When the call was cut off, my sister was suddenly running from our room, the hamster in hand, "Oh my gosh, oh my.."

I looked at the stiff hamster and was grieved and surprised, I didn't know how to react. I suddenly remembered the vermin poison she accidentally carried in her cheek pouches last week. "The poison.. How.. How many days did it take effect?"

"I don't.. I don't know." That was all my sister could say. And she sat down on her bed as she kept on caressing the dead hamster on her hand while she sobbed and cried.

R.I.P, Wiggles :(

☆ September 2012

✟ December 2013

  

We buried her in our backyard/graveyard for killed rats. Huh? Hey, wait, burying her in that particular place isn't really that bad, since we decorated her grave with poinsettias and orchids, and I made a cross out of sticks for her. That should make her different from all the other corpses buried there.

 

It's good to have you in our lives, Wiggles. You're our longest-living hamster. :(((

(Yes, I cried. What do you expect?)

Happy Birthday Your Highness, Edgar Allan Poe! ♥
