Okay, back again from a week's work. It's the weekend and again no plans for me. Eh well, for the past years it's always a fun-filled weekend for me anyway, for every week that passes. Or should I do overtime? No.

Anyway, it has come to my attention that there are rumors around me spreading around the workplace, propagated by, not surprisingly, my fellow countrymen. Not from my shift though but from the two other shifts. I was actually surprised when Tita Laura asked me a personal question. She asked permission first to ask it, and then she asked, in a jest, if I was gay. She said the people from days and evenings were asking her about it.

Their rational for assuming my gayness:

1. Hair - I have long hair now, but not the type that I used to have when I was still in college. I can't tie it into a pony-tail, at least not yet. Tita Laura told me she berated them on not minding other people's hairdo. If I were straight daw, I should have short hair. And I actually expected people here to be liberal. So does it follow then that short-haired women are also gay? Because women should have long hair right? Or is there a double standard? Are they actually allowed to have long and short hair?

2. The manner in which I greet people - Well, I've noticed mostly everyone here greet people every time they pass each other on the street or wherever. So I adopted that custom. I say hi and smile. What the hell is so gay about that? So is being courteous gay?

3. And the wearing of hairnets - We have a strict clothing policy. We have uniforms, dedicated footwear, gloves etc. And hairnets of course, hair should not be showing outside of the hairnet. And since I have long and thick hair, it takes time to put all those inside the net. And these people even noticed that eh, the manner in which I wear my hairnet. Aren't they supposed to be working?

And all of these came from my fellow Filipinos. But I think they're Canadian now. Most of them maybe. I wish these people open their minds more. Will they ever ask me that question personally? I think not. And wait till my hair grows longer.
