SO MUCH STRESS...

God. It's Winter Break And I Can't Even Relax...

See. Even in the break I can't relax because my family keeps on pressing on me to get my hair cut. I don't know. I PERSONALLY don't really want to get my hair cut because... Well, my family hasn't really done a good job of cutting my hair (by family, I mean my aunt and dad because they cut my hair). This is what I sometimes hate about living in an Asian family. I mean, in most Asian families, you would find at least one person who is capable of cutting hair and SOMEHOW BY MAGIC, that person is like the appointed barber.

NO. Just NO. I haven't had much trust in my "barbers". Whenever I ask for not too much off the top or front, or a little more on the back, whatever, they just don't follow. It's like ALL "barbers" came together and said, "Okay, we will cut their hair like THIS and IGNORE everything else THEY say." Doesn't seem really realistic, but it really seems like it. Apparently there's supposed to be just ONE hair style for every hair cut? Doesn't seem like it with the extensive collection of hair styles we have today.

Anyways, my family is pressuring me to get my hair cut and I was SUPPOSED to get it cut today, but at the last moment, when my dad asked, "Am I going to cut your hair or not?" I said no. So no is no. There MIGHT be a hair cut today and then maybe there won't be one for a while. In hair cutting terms, I have more trust in my dad. He's cut my hair just about as many times as my aunt has cut my hair (well, at least the times I can remember) and with every hair cut, I've been... OKAY with it.

Then again. Hair is hair. It grows just like nails grow and hair and nails are both made out of the same thing. It grows back. For me though, it's just a matter of if people judge me on my hair and laugh and whisper behind my back. I don't really care if they keep their own "Kevin looks so stupid with that hair cut." to themselves, but it really pisses me off when people whisper and laugh behind my back. I don't care if they're whispering about good things, but if they are talking about good things, they should just tell me.

Time For The Other Stuff...

Okay. That was pretty boring. Anyways. Basically that was really just one thing compiled into about four paragraphs, so I don't really want to waste anymore of your time. I'll just quickly talk about the next topics and if you don't want to read some of the next stuff, it's okay. Just go ahead and scan through the paragraphs or even just look and judge by the title of the paragraph(s).

So The Canucks Lost Like 3 - 1...

Yesterday I was baking so I didn't listen to the Canucks on the radio, but today I checked the score and we lost 3 - 1 against Calgary. Pretty saddening. Oh well. Their next game will be against the Oilers on Monday because...

They Can't Play On CHRISTMAS!

The reason why the Canucks aren't playing tomorrow is because tomorrow is CHRISTMAS! So, the tree in my house is finally set up (my first time actually like getting a tree), my family is preparing for the party that we're hosting for our family tomorrow and overall, there is some sort of joy in the air knowing that everybody is going to get a present.

I haven't really celebrated Christmas with my family, but then again, I don't really think most Asian families seriously celebrate Christmas. And by seriously celebrate Christmas, I mean SERIOUSLY. Not many Asian families go completely out of their way to celebrate Christmas and for me, it's just usually a delicious family dinner.

Anyways, Christmas is the only day my dad takes off from work and I really appreciate that he works this hard. I don't think he takes any day off in the year from work except for Christmas. The point I'm trying to make is that I don't really spend a lot of time with my parents and I've probably been with my grandma and cousins longer than I've been with my parents. I mean I spend an average of an hour and a half of my day with my parents and I spend like the complete rest with my grandma, aunt or cousins. So it's really kind of special to me to actually get to see my dad around 5:00PM.

My Automatic Updates Need Me To Restart, So Bye...

Today will be a kind of boring day since my cousins are not going to be home, but oh well. Anyways, somehow I feel better writing this post and maybe I will get a hair cut (not too much of one that my friends can barely recognize me anymore, but maybe just a little bit of a hair cut).

It's not the full day yet, but I'm around a 9 today. I'm feeling confident that even if people tease me about my hair cut, I can stand up to them and the hair will grow back. =) I'm not completely sure what I'm going to do for the rest of the day, but I might install a cool game on my computer that I got a while ago, but then left on my bookshelf for several months. Anyways, thanks for reading this post, happy Christmas Eve and I'll see you in tomorrow's Christmas post!
