no more earrings promise

I’m not a pro in body piercing but I’m the one who pierces myself. I use to have 7 piercings. Three on my left ear, two on the right, one on the lips and one on my belly bottom which is now closed because I don’t put earrings on it ^_^. Many ask what do I get from this and what is the reason for this. I receive different reaction from the people around me. Others said “You’re only hurting yourself” while other says “it’s cool”. I don’t care what other people say but all I can say is “ Inggit lang sila”.
Every pierce that I have has its own reason and story behind it. My first pierce (on the left ear) is when I was in 2nd year high school. Well it’s just a very common reason why I got pierced…and it’s because of peer pressure. I’m influenced by my friends. All of them have earrings and if feels like you don’t belong to the group when you don’t have one. My second piercing (on the right ear) is when I bought a pair of silver earring. “Hmm…what should I do with the other earring? ... I want to use this.” I said to myself. Then it resulted to my second piercing. The third and the fourth piercing (above my first and second piercing) were done because a friend gives me another pair of earring. By that time I already have 4 piercings. The more the merrier, that’s what’s on my mind and I’m planning to have more piercings. The fifth piercing (upper part of the left ear) is because of my ex-girlfriend. Our break-up wasn’t good so I pierced myself dedicated to her foolishness [= . My sixth piercing is on the belly bottom. I just get curious because some celebrities got their belly bottom pierced. I just want to try it if it’s painful. Well it is. I feel like its burning. Days passed and it healed an its ready for an earring to come but I realized this thing is useless because no one would see it. I left it empty and the piercing closed. My last and the coolest piercing is on the left part of the lower lips. During that time I was very addicted to the band Paramore. I used to look on Josh Farro’s (guitarists) piercing and I said “I want to have that pierce.”. and there I have it my seventh pierce. Well it’s easy to pierce on my own but the difficult thing is hiding it from my parents. They kill me if they found out about it hahaha. As of now I’m still successful from hiding it…hmm but how long haha.
Now every time I rid e the jeepney going to school going to school, some passengers look at me. It’s eye catching to them (rofl). Others ask me if it’s painful and I always replied “when I got this pierced, there’s no blood at all…popping your pimple is more painful than this.” I can bear the pain and at the same time I appreciate jewelries. Addict…most people used this word to described me. Then Joni said to me “ you know what it’s ugly.”. She tells me that her first impression on pierced guys is the are addicts. Then I realized she’s right she’s right. This not me anymore. No one appreciates my piercings. I don’t want to be popular because of this. I want to be known for my talents. And from that day I promised her not to put earrings anymore. I already give my earrings to my friend. She’s a little girl but yet so powerful. In just an instant she changed me.
