Yesterday, I decided to have a long-needed haircut. At the same time, I wanted to try this barbershop near our house. There’s nothing really outstanding about the place, it’s just that it’s the biggest and seems to be the most complete barbershop in the neighborhood. At P100 per haircut, it should be.

Last Sunday, while I was on the bus on my way to Nhil’s house I texted her, “Can we talk tonight? There’s something I have to tell you.”
