Bald and Bold

It's been more than 2 weeks after I shaved my head bald.
Surprisingly, I've done some social experiments during that time and will continue to do that until next 3 months, I guess. It's not over yet actually :)))

Day One. Monday, 2 September 2013
Friend 1: "Rambut kamu kenapa, Laaa??"
Friend 2: "La, lo sakit apa?"
Friend 3: "SAKIT JIWAAAAA LO, LAAAAA!! Eh tapi bagus sih. Hehehe."
Friend 4: *usrek-usrek kepala gue* *ketemu lagi* *usrek-usrek lagi*
Friend 5: "You, seriously--? Whoa." *high five* *but, since I'm short, that was low five*

Many more.

Okay. That happened in campus.
And one of my friend in Jakarta, let just call her Sita. *emang namanya itu sih*, minta skype-an sama gue biar bisa liat rambut gue bentuknya gimana. Eh 2 minggu kemudian, doi ikutan Shave For Hope juga yang di Jakarta. Potongannya bob nungging. Bwahahaha. Looks cute, though.

I've seen many people watching me as I have this "breakthrough" haircut.
They might got curious-because they really are-with what happened to me by took notice on my head.
Some whispered to their friend next to them, some smiled to me, some even observed me from my head to toe. *that is still be the most irritating part of all*
The rest of those, greeted everytime they met me like never before. Hahahaha. Life's full of surprise :))

When I got irritated, I remembered the reason why I went bald, after that, I can smile to those who looking at me.

Some asked why I shaved my head, I just let them know that I joined SFH. And the rest, I gladly set my face to ear-to-ear smile and "ehehehe" to let them assuming what actually happened to me. Because, you know, I kinda tired answering those same questions all over again.
Some of my friends who knew that told me to print some SFH brochures to those asking me the questions.
Their brilliant idea won't let me do that, though. Hahahaha.

Anyway, every time I met foreigners, they never look me closely from head to toe. They just didn't care if you are bald or not. It was nice.

Despite of the irritating part by people watching me closely, being bald is not that bad at all.
I'm truly enjoyed it.
Why?
Because my head never got air to breathe since my hair is thick and now it feels so light like never before.
Because I can lay on bed straight after I wash my hair.
Because I never got free bad hair day for 24/7.
Because I love washing my hair.
Because I love my shampoo.
Because some of my friends and my family member told me that I looking geewd by this new look :))
And the top of it, I'm proud being myself. I'm glad to share this bald-looking to my dearest brothers and sisters who suffer cancer.

Now I know why girls being bald get attention much than boys like they were a freak-show.
The world keeps turning and you just can't set a lot of people's mind in a second to think that girls being bald is okay.
Remember, I don't say all of people's mind.

Just be our own self. Let them judging.
As long as we know how to improve ourselves to a better future, as long as we know how to respect other people, as long as we know how to open our minds to other people's critics and ideas, as long as we don't cause any harm, let us be on our way.

God bless.
