Don’t be sorry be better part 2.

While on the bus, I bumped into 3 teenagers, among empty seats ..they chose to seat behind me. The moment they saw me, they started speaking on their language, calling me names which I didn’t understand, trying to get my attention by pushing the back of my seat with their knees while laughing. I thought initially ignoring them, would stop them from disturbing and laughing out loud behind me. So I ignored them until my phone rang, I answered the phone and they started singing “ terephone, terephone, blah blah blah..” I could only understand the word “terephone” . When I stop talking, they would stop singing, when I start talking, that’s when they start singing again and this time tapping the back of my seat almost hitting my head. I was steaming inside but I remained calm. Should I meet their parents, I’d teach them about parenting. When the phone conversation was over, I stood up and faced them. I looked at them firmly. “ Okay laugh now, why don’t you guys laugh now? I mean, what’s wrong with you guys?” I asked. They were schocked, one was holding her laughter, and two asked for apology. So I replied: It’s alright, don’t be sorry, be better.

This what my mom always tells me when she wants me to realize my own mistakes and not ton commit the same mistake again.

But wait.. I wasn’t even chilled yet, nor have my blood preasure turned to normal.. yet there’s more…
After getting off the bus, a car with a very loud music on, pulled over in front of me. In the car were young men waving their hands, yelling at me: “Filipina? Nepalese? Blah blah blah” (I was like.. d*mn..not again) I was really scared for they looked like they’re under the influence of alcohol. Or more like weeds perhaps.. They were crazy… I kept walking, though I was really nervous, but they would maneuver their car to keep up with my walking.. what a bully… So I stopped walking, pretended to be picking up some stones from the ground to throw to them.. “What’s the matter with you people?!!!” They were wide-eyed when they took off, parang kidlat sa bilis…

I couldn’t figure at once why do these people treat us like sh*t. I mean, come on.. we came to their country to render our services for they lack man power, we don’t mean harm to them for heaven’s sake, do we???? so why in the world do they need to treat us like dummies? Do we steal their resources? Some of us even get dime for labor jobs. Shoot!!! Pissed me off!!

I hope some of us won’t act like maamong aso na kahit sinisipa sipa na eh aalis lang ng lugmok ang mukha at titiisin ang sakit o ang tinatawag na emotional disturbance…Kumahol tayo paminsan minsan, di kelangan mangagat, kaho lang.. aatras ng nanginginig ang mga yan.

Humility sometimes leads to oppression; some people tend to size you up when you are too passive… When people don’t get the message that you want to convey with your act,(coz some of them are just so lazy to analyze and think) they confused justification to bragging. If barking on someone who tries to oppress you is a form of bragging, and if it would minimize and soon eliminate oppression, then I say bragging is rightful. You just have to bark sometimes to warn and make unreasonable people to realize their own mistakes.

Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! Arf Arf!!!

hahah.. nice maria_renz,
pra sakin lng ha, we should think rationally b'coz all kind of persons written above do exist not only there in the bus or in a car with a very loud music (well, the latter could be very serious, be carefull) dapat alam n natin yun dahil hindi naman lahat ng tao eh magugustuhan tayo..

the point is how we handle those person or the situation kung magrereact tayo ng hindi dn maganda wla n tayong pinag iba sa kanila (kanila could be anyone hehe..) na makitid dn isip mas mabuti pa n tawanan n lng dn natin d naman tayo magkakakilala we don't have the right to say or to express anything that can hurt their feelings maliban na lang kung they get physical ibang usapan n yun magkakaalaman tayo kung gano katapang ang asong hindi tumatahol heheh..

bragging is not the aswer to let them know that you are also a human being, let them know that you're not a narrow minded person and you can do things that they didn't even try..they will admire you! but pleas give exception for those envious they're not worth to worry..

just be happy! tagay tayo annesolano,maria_renz,josephpatrol!

By the way, 4’11 ang taas ko, negra, para akong taong puno ( yes friends, pwedeng magmukhang puno ang tao) kasi ang kulay ko, hindi morena, maduming may pagka brown, or parang agaw putik ang kulay.
At hilig ko ang mag suot ng "racer back" pag may lakad ako,sa subway, sa bus, I don’t care kung pinagtitinginan ng ibang lahi at pinagtatawanan ang likod ko na may tipak tipak pa ng libag at tadtad ng pimples, wala na kasing space sa mukha ko kaya pati likod ko invaded na rin ng pimples. Hilig ko rin ang tinatawag sa Pinas na “pekp*k” shorts, (yes friends yun ang tawag sa short na super iksi) at enjoy na enjoy ako pag nakikita ng iba ang kuyukot ba tawag dun, na parang uling na sa itim, at ang tuhod ko na super eye catching, madalas kasi akong maglakad ng paluhod noon sa simbahan ng quiapo. Over revealing ang karamihan sa mga suot ko, eh bakit ba? may ipapakita naman ako, yung iba nga dyan parang pantal lang, parang kagat lang ba ng lamok sa liit ng hinaharap… di ko alam ang word na “DECENCY” oo, wala sa bokabularyo ko yan. Ano bay an? Kinakain bay an? I don’t know even know how to articulate myself in a very professional manner. Hilig ko rin humalakhak sa public places na kala mo wala ng bukas, eh ano naman, kung magtinginan sila at isipin nila na lahat ng pinoy ay walang breeding? damay damay lang yan.. paborito ko rin ang Hooker shoes, aba, para naman madagdagan ang height ko. Sabi ng iba, kalahati ng pagod mo sa maghapon eh galling sa takong ng sapatos na suot mo, but I don’t care, sa kulto na kinabibilangan ko, bawal ang magsuot ng komportableng sapatos, oo friend, kasali ako sa kulto ng Carrie Bradshaw. Hilig ko rin magsuot ng Tiara, para kunyari prinsesa ako, ng anong tribu? Basta, kahit ano. Ang cute kasi, feeling ko ang ganda ganda ko, eh ano kung ang Tiara ay simbolo ng inequality ? Kahit binabastos ako ng ibang lahi, tumatalikod lang ako, ang tawag sa akin "monkey whore" minsan naman "monkey maid", pero okay lang, wala naman kasi akong kakayahang ipagtanggol ang sarili ko, tanggapin ko na lang ang katotohanan na ganito ako ipinanganak.. kahit na alam naman natin na ang karakas ko ay ubod ng sama…. Teka.. kanta yun ah.. Oh well.. basta…. sabi nila disgrace daw ako sa mother land ko.. teka ano ba ibig sabihin ng disgrace?

probably miss anne will be a gud defender para sa kapakanan ng mga kababaihan,, tama yan miss anne ,,minsan napapahiya ang pilipino sa kapwa pilipino,iba kase nagdudumi at lahat sila(pinoy)kasama tayo dun ay nadadamay,. kya as much as possible we should maintain our reputation. At ipakita nating na nagbri breed tayo(LOL).....

Minsan ok lang namn magtawanan in public wag lang madalas basta paminsan minsan lang eehheheheh.


some pipol may mis understood and irritated ,kase we all have different level,status,perception in lyf.. nsa personality yan ,as ive told u (in fairness) as long that its a key to open one's mind (dnt mind the detractors) kung meron lang kau(opposition) eheheheheh,,probably some pipol think ur tack _ _ _ _ but para sakin , freedom of expression pu ang tawag jan. and i think u have the ryt point of view(na naisip mo ang kapakanan ng karamihan at hindi ng sarili lamang)..

hahahahahahha,,,nagbri breed tayo!!!! sa galak yan..umiiyak sa galak...

magtawanan kung may kasama huwag ung nag iisa..para ka ng si sisa non,,

tama,,freedom of expression i second demotion...ipaglaban ang kapakanan sa nakakarami(ops kuya joseph,,nakapag sabi ka sa kabilang post na ang ibang pinay dahil sa hirap ng buhay kahit prostitution ay pinasok na..)
paano yan...tama ba ang right of view mo kuya???ikaw ha,,balimbing ka...

anyways,,kidding aside...maging seryoso sa usapin ito lalo nat kaming mga kakaibahan ang tinatalakay...dapat mabigyan ng solusyon at matugunan agad ang ganitong klaseng persepsyon sa aming mga kababaihan(pangkahalatan,hindi individual,,)...ano ang mga munkahi,,pag ipon ipunan to come with a brilliant idea,,hindi puro stories...

kung talagang may ipinaglalaban sumangguni o makilahok dun sa mga organisasyon ,tulad ng gabriela.,samahang kababaihang ilokandia,,womens rights protection of the phils..samahan bisayang kababaihan cebu chapter,at ibat iba pang organisayon na makakatulong sa ipinaglalaban mo...
maaring maging kapakipakinabang ang gnaitong klaseng taong may IPINAGLALABAN KUNG ITOY NASA LEHITIMONG ORGANISYON...don't be a little fish in the ocean...join big fishes and make waves.....karl marx...

oopss...disgrace is not a term or an attribute to describe a Filipina...hindi ka ma identify as pinay..thats why u are a disgrace...hindi ka pinay...ibang lahi ka..baka akala nila taga africa ka,,,kaya mababa tingin sayo pero hindi sa lahat ng pinay...ginagamit mo lang stories to tell to us that kaming mga "pinay"ay minamaltrato ng banyaga,,,mali ka,,,,,,sayo rin nanggaling ang kasagutan...

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

-Albert Einstein-

1800's : Dr. Jose Rizal fought Spaniards using his pen by writing his powerful words without any marked of fear on his face. Devoting himself by making his fellow countrymen realized that the power of unity can changed our lives.

21st century: J____ B_____ accused of writing using her keyboard of a very insensitive words on cyber community called Face Book that brought her into famed for a weeks and received many comments and criticizes even threats from her fellow Filipino that she never realized it would happen to her.

Writing books, blogs, threads even comments could cause a very huge outcome good or a bad one when some people couldn't see the real meaning of the words or just misunderstanding what the writer wants to express. Apparently, this happened frequently in a cyber community where everyone is entitled to their own opinions as long as the rules and regulations of the community don’t compromise.

I will write my own opinion, right here, right now.
We should think carefully before we make or write our reactions regarding the topics and comments where we come across in a cyber community because some of us are just hanging around and trying to make friends and doesn't intend to hurt offend the feelings of the other member.

By the way, I posted it ("Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.") to make a comment, it doesn't matter if who's right or wrong it depends on how you view their opinion that's where the meaning counts.

And FYI, plagiarism doesn't count on a cyber as long as you didn't say it’s yours...

Thank you, have a nice week end..
