“By all evidence we are in the world to do nothing.”
—Emil Cioran, from A Short History Of DecayOn VISA interview outfit choices to lifestyle choices.
Me: What should I wear? I wanna look really rich.
Dad: With that hair, no one is gonna believe you.
Me: Excuse me. My hair cost me p10,000. And more.
Dad: *eyes slowly widen realizing what I had just said*
Me: *realizing I should not have said anything in case he’d judge me*
Dad: That much?!
Me: Yeah well one bleach job costs about 5,000 and then I had to go through another one… (even I couldn’t believe I spent that much on something that’s already dead)
Dad: …
Me: Um, well yeah. It’s expensive to look this good…
Dad: *disapproving looks shooting my way*
Me: Well, some people choose plastic surgery, I choose to change my hair. At least it’s never permanent!
Dad: *not even listening anymore*
He knows I’m right, though. VISA interview is on Wednesday morning, wish me luck, you guys! Pray to the Universe that the German Embassy grant me a tourist VISA!
