How and Why Did I Shave My Head

I really did it.
I'm beyond happy :))

As I told you here, finally I could participate in Shave For Hope 2013 first time here in Jogjakarta.
It was fun although there was nobody I knew hehe. So, I chatted with 2 freshman girls of Jogja public university and got a queue for our shavee IDs registration.

My shavee Id is YGY0007 and my queue number is 20.
Before I entered the shaving room, one of SFH committes took a photo of me in the photobooth. And when my number was mentioned, I was excited :))

The hairdresser asked me if I want to cut my hair only 10cm or above my shoulder and asked my permission to let my hair (that have been cut) to donate as a wig. I said yes for the wig and asked back, is that allowed to left 3cm of my hair or not. She said no, so I decided to go bald instead.
She shocked and asked me back hahaha. I convinced her that I was ready for that. Then she said, "Okay."

So, here it is..

Cool, right? It is indeed, literally.

And I took this couple days before I shaved my head..

My eyes are all flat here hahaha

There are lots of my motivations for this event:

1. My auntie (Mom's twin sister) and Eyang suffered breast cancer until the day they passed away.
2. I have elementary school friend whose her little sister suffered leukimia until the day she passed away.
3. I watched My Sister's Keeper and read The Fault in Our Stars.
4. I just know that almost every person in this world wants to have healthy hair. Remember the saying, "A Woman's Hair Is Her Crown of Glory"?. Try say that in front of those who suffering cancer and loss their hair after get chemotherapy or radiation treatment frequently. Say it out loud. You just can't.
5. I want to show the society that being different such as girl-being-bald is not a freak show.
6. I want to save my 680ml pump shampoo for a year.

 I once told my parents that I wanted to shave my head bald. At first, Papa allowed me to do that. When I asked him about it the second time, he wanted me to not going further by this charity movement. Then I asked Mama is it okay if I get my head bald. She said, "Ela, kamu jangan macem-macem!". Her eyes almost popped out. Hahahaha

But, I got 6 considerations above.
I break the rules. Hehehe

When I got home after I got my head shaved, my Mom shocked as hell. Of course she did.
She asked me what will happen tomorrow when I go to school with my bald head, she asked me if I okay with that and ready for the consequences.
I convince her that this was complete my decision and I'm ready to face the consequences. Because I got considerations.
Then, she just laughed.

Mama: "I never dreamed to have a son."
Me: "Hey, I'm still your daughter. I'm still a girl. I still like boys. Uhm... wait. I like men."

Since, my father wasn't in town (he was in Jakarta back then), my mother texted him that I got my head shaved. He wanted to me to send him picture of me being bald.

Me: *sending the picture*
*delivered*
Papa: "You look like one of those African sprinters."
Me: ... Bwahahahaha :)))



P.S. According to the fact that my head is so oily, I still really need to shampooing my head two times a day. Obviously this time with small amount of shampoo. Half-press. But that doesn't mean I can save it for a year, I guess. By the way, why do I keep talking about 680ml pump shampoo?
