My Brother, The Blonde Filipino

           and what is it with Asians going blonde?

so last night, my brother decides that he wants to go
blonde. so we went to our local CVS and bought a bleaching kit. i, of
course, being the connoiesseur of hair dyeing offered my services for
free.

BIG MISTAKE !

what was i thinking?!! i have never
bleached hair in my entire life ! haha - so the first try did not come
out too badly except that one spot on his head was twice as light as
the rest. OOOPSIES !

the second, we discovered that he still had black
hair in some areas. so you know what they say, the third times the
charm. we put on more coating of hair dye and voila (!) he ended up with
hair that looks like he just morphed into a super-saiyan.you dragonball z geeks out there know what i’m talking about - haha!

of course, knowing my parents, my mom took one look at him and made the sign of the cross.

yeah mom, your son is now the blonde devil ! haha

so what is it with asians going blonde anyway? i know sometimes i want to do so myself, but my reasons are only because i like to try things out. could that be everyone else’s reason too?

if any of you have ever seen asian import models, almost all of them are blonde. hell, tila (one of my fav former playboy girls) is blonde and she totally pulls it off well. but then again, i dont look exactly look like a tila.

  • there is also the culture identity crisis. are
    blonde asians denying their heritage, convering their roots, trying to
    be somebody they are not?
  • also for some reason, blonde on asian supposedly screams sexy. it’s a surprising contrast and makes you look twice. and i’ve been thinking what if blondes really do have more fun??

so after much thought and deliberation, i have
determined that BEING SEXY and how you identify yourself CULTURALLY has
nothing to do with what color you choose to have on your hair. anyone can. SEXY is Attitude and CULTURE is about Respecting the values and traditions of where you come from.
