So I was talking to some old friends yesterday,
and since I haven’t seen them in so long,
I asked how everybody was.

Then one of them told me,

“Hey, Ty, they were talking about you the other day,
and they were making fun of you.”

I said, “About what?”

“Well”, my friend said.
“They were wondering if your current hairstyle, is just the new fashion,
or you are so losing your hair.”

I answered,
“Well, it’s nice to know that everyone wants to know how I am doing,
instead of discerning my appearance.”

For those of you who don’t know,
We Filipinos have a wicked obsession about appearances.
Ours, and most importantly, others.

We are cleverly quick in noticing, how much weight people gain,
how thin can people be, how much acne you have on your face,
how many distracting moles you have, the shape of your nose,
how big your house is, how much money you make, your new shirt,
your shiny shoes, what you drive, and how you smell.

That’s just how we are.

Screw your feelings!
I don’t like the way you look.
I will point at you and laugh.
Then I will spread rumours about you,
on how much you are not liked.
Not by me, but a friend of a friend who knows you.

So anyways, back to my story.
My friend answered back,
“Aww come on Ty!
You know we’re just joking.”

I said,
“Oh don’t worry about it.
I understand.
Ever since the “Chemo”, it never really grew back.”

“Chemo? What Chemo?”, my friend asked.

I said,
“Hey, I gotta run, I’ll talk to you guys later!
Take care of yourselves okay!
Enjoy Life!
Bye!”

HAhahahaaaa!!!!!!
See!! It’s April Fools.
Let them figure that out for a bit.

I know, I know.
That wasn’t funny.

I was either gonna go with that or,

“My therapist says,
Hair Loss is the third stage of syphilis.”
