The Reality.

WELL THEN! Turns out my mom is VERY MUCH angry with me for getting that lip ring.

It turns out that when she saw it the other day, she thought it was fake. So this morning, when she asked why keep it on and I replied “You’re not supposed to take it off for a month or so,” her response was very unpleasant.

Ugh! I thought she was ok with it. I thought she had caught my sarcasm when I told her it was nothing. I mean, she looked RIGHT at it. X[ Seeing is believing, right?

So here’s the gist of what happened…

She realized that my lip ring was real and she got up from the table, walked over to me, grabbed my face and observed the hole more closely. Then she grabbed my lip and pulled it down so she could see that there was a hole on the inside of my lip.

She said something in tagalog. I don’t know what she said but all I know is that whenever she says it, it is NOT a good thing. X[

“WHY!?” she wouldn’t stop saying. “I’m very disappointed.”

I asked her why not and she said because people will degrade me and that it’s inappropriate. Blah blah blah.

“Did you get it because Charlie has one!?” and I was like “Huh? He doesn’t even have one.” It’s like, what the fuck? Why does she have to automatically assume that someone MADE me get the piercing? I WANTED to get it. I have BEEN wanting to get it for just about forever. Ugh! Now she’s going to think that my friends are bad influences and whatnot.

After a while she just stopped talking, got up, and went downstairs, leaving her food untouched. Later, I could hear her behind me moving papers around. When I left the house and said goodbye, she gave me no response. She wouldn’t even look at me.

I was bummed for the rest of the day and when I got home, Sandy told me that our mom called her and told her that she was very disappointed me and she asked her whether or not she saw any of my friends with it. ONCE AGAIN thinking that my friends are bad people. Sandy said that she was complaining to daddy during dinner and he was just like “mhm…” not really caring.

I honestly thought that she’d be ok with it. I mean, she’s ok with SO many things but this? Why??? X[

*sigh* I’m hoping that she’ll just grow used to it and accept it. We’ll see…


I guess I’ll have to stop wearing it. :<
