Of Hair Rebond and the Sea

I had my hair rebonded last March 13, 2011 and other than the transforming effect of what was put on my hair, it was the article that I read from a magazine while waiting for my hair to set that made me enjoy my stay in the salon. It was actually the first magazine that I picked from the stack that was given to me. We’re meant to be! Haha! It was Metroactive’s Summer Issue in 2008.

I read an article there about Juny Binamira, one of the few boat makers here in the Philippines. Yes, you read it right—Boat Maker, one who makes, builds, and creates boats for whatever purpose. It was a very inspiring story because he said there that he had the fascination for boat making since he was a young boy and he was able to create his first boat when he was around 9 years old, I think. Well, it runs in the blood. Juny is related to a national artist for sculpture. I just can’t remember who. Haha! I forgot, sorry!

I, myself, am a lover of the sea. My friends would find me a kill joy when I wouldn’t participate in swimming getaways by the pool. I really don’t like pools. I’m more amused with the sea, the breeze, the foam, the sunset in the background… My gosh! I miss Pagudpud, Corimao, and San Mateo in Ilocos! I just so love the sea! Haha! Maybe in my past life, I really was a turtle! Haha!

Anyway, let me quote Jury Binamira when he said in the article, “Anybody who loves the sea knows the peace that the sea is capable of bringing to a human being. There’s just something about the sea. That’s why it’s very therapeutic being there.”

Very well said, Mr. Binamira!

I just love the sea. And I love my hair also now because, like the sea, it flows. Haha! And just like the sea and my hair, my life flows to where God directs. Now there’s the connection!

Peace to you all! :D
