RiverMouth

Nope! Its not a dirty term or whatsoever. Its just a surfing spot near San Narciso, Zambales. Its called RiverMouth simply because this beach, where you can find the best "junior" ocean waves, is located near an opening of a river by the bridge leading to another town San Marcelino. Did you know that it took us 1 hour to hike or walk from Crystal Beach to get to RiverMouth. We even had to cross small rivers where the soil was just too soft because of the water, your legs would be burried. It was scorching hot and I have already used the entire contents of my Sun Block lotion bottle. I first thought that this was gonna be a bad idea coz I wasnt fond of walking or hiking for that matter in a sandy area under the strong heat of the sun. But it was actually fun. I havent hiked since my last year in highschool. We treked Epol in Davao once during highschool for a scouting camp in a village up there. The climate there was much preferrable because it was cold we didnt took a bath for 2 days. But the setting in RiverMouth was totally different. I can feel my skin above my bikini line burning even though I've put on sunblock for the nth time. When we arrived there, the waves were overwhelming. It wasnt meant for beginners so there was no way that I could try the surfboard that day. Even one of us got wiped out by the waves when he's already considered a pro. So we and the other girls just tried to amuse ourselves having our own version of "Kodak moments".

The journey back to Crystal Beach was easier except that the rivers we crossed got muddier and the soil softer, we were just anticipating how many times we'd have to get our feet burried in. Hopefully we'll be able to visit riverMouth again sometime this year. And hopefully we'll be able to get good waves. Surfs up.

Last week, my housemates and I stopped by this salon and they really have the cheapest foot spa offer. But I didnt give. It wasn't in my itenerary that day. Naks. Next time na lang. One of my housemates, Nice, decided she wanted to have bangs on her hair. So she had bangs. Nainggit naman ako. Although I already had bangs, my hair has grown really long after my last hair cut. And that was just like a few months ago. I held on to the plan till this afternoon. Pagkatapos ng church ko, I went to the 1st salon, 1st because....basta. I told the stylist "justcut 3 inches off my hair". Oh edi so 3 inches nga lang ang pinutol nya. He, yes, Im sure "he" wasn't gay or someone in between babae and lalake. He cut my hair and he was done in a matter of....seconds???No hindi naman, mga minutes lang. The "blow dry session" even took time, I think, compared to the hair cut session. Anu ba yun? I wasnt satisfied with what he did to my hair. So much for a compulsive hair cut. I was on my way home. I stopped by at the 2nd salon. This time I really have to get what I want. I specifically told the stylist to get rid of the straight cut. This time bading na yung stylist, so I was assumed "mas marunong sya" compared to that guy in the previous salon. Ugh! He said i should have layers or slashes to create volume coz my hair was really thick. The reason why I was so eager to have my hair being cut short was because I recently saw my favorite supermodel, Freja Beha Erichsen, change her hair cut. Here... But its more kinda Katie Holmes hair cut. Its too short for me, I dont think I can pull it off. I was just so used to seeing her with long hair, well, coz most models do have long hair.

So it was kind of great seeing her sporting a new super short hair cut. I really love it! Anyway I let the stylist do his thang! My new haircut wasnt great, but it wasnt bad, it was pretty okay. Anyway, it was better compared to the 1st one I had, just a few hours ago before this session. So next time you want a new Do, make sure you know what you want and make sure the stylist understands how you want your hair to look like. Bugger. Anyway, in a matter of weeks my hair will grow inches again so I'll think of another hair cut that's in style.
