Saved by a gentleman

I don't know if other girls feel the same way but when it's time for a new haircut, there is this inner me that becomes so easily irritated and feels very uncomfortable with myself. Yesterday I was and even though there's tons of things to do I squeezed in my hair salon appointment at Jinn Salon in Omotesando. I recently discovered this salon and quite liked it for its very private setting. Or maybe it's because they really don't have that much customer...hmm...But still I'm one person who doesn't really want to be bothered much and would appreciate serenity whenever I am having my haircut. The appointment went well but then I was really feeling exhausted so I skipped the home party I was supposed to go to afterward. One thing that's changed within me is that I now accept that I'm no superwoman and that balancing socialization & enough rest is dead important, especially if you want to still look good and fresh the next day.

So I was on my way home when someone from behind started calling out 'sumimasen (excuse me!)', sumimasen (excuse me!)'. I was in my earphones but I looked behind because it seemed the guy was calling me. I didn't see anybody and then proceeding walking towards the escalator. Then this gentleman dashed and went in front of me, showing me the little Korean hair pin I bought for myself as a souvenir. He said I dropped it. I thanked him and went to the platform to await my train. I remembered that I took the hair pin and clipped it in the pocket of my bag when I was having a haircut. That was a cute little hair pin that I could have lost. But thanks to this gentleman I have it safe with me. It doesn't cost that much but the memory it carries is priceless and I thank God and this gentleman for saving that memento for me to hold on a little bit more.

I wonder where else in the world can this act of kindness be.
