Filipino po ako. At di ko po ipagkakakait na minsan, bilang isang taong nandito sa Japan, pinapalusot o kinakahiya natin ang ibang ugali ng mga Pinoy.

“Pinoy kase.”

Kapag nahuhuli sa pagpasok (aray, aray), “Pinoy kase.”
Kapag mahilig kumanta (sa publiko, pangit kase dito yan), “Pinoy kase.”

Pero pag magaling naman, buong puso nating ipinagmamalaki. “Pinoy kase!”

Medyo nakakapanlumo kung makakabasa ka ng mga ganitong sulatin. Gusto mong saksakin at magbanggit ng mga di kanaisnais na pananalita. Mga salitang masasampal ako ng nanay ko.

Dahil sa dami nang nagalit (nainis, nasuklam), nagsulat ulit sya para depensahan ang kanyang sarili.

“…Just recently, I wrote a funny article in my magazine column and my friends thought it was hilarious. It was humorous and quite tongue-in-cheek, or at least I thought so, until the magazine got a few e-mails from people who didn’t get the meaning of my acerbic wit. The bottom line was just that I had offended the reader’s socioeconomic background. If any of these people actually read anything thicker then a magazine they would find it very funny. Most people don’t get the fact that they need bitches like me to shake up their world, otherwise their lives would be boring and mediocre. I obviously write for the a certain target audience and if what I write offends you, just stop reading.

Although it may sound elitist to you the fact is this country is built on the foundation of haves, have-nots and wannabes. One group will never get the culture of the other. Although I could mention that it is easier to understand someone who has a lower socioeconomic background that would entail a whole other page and frankly I don’t want to be someone to bridge the gap between socioeconomic classes. I leave that to the politicians in my family who believe they can actually help. Now I seriously ask you, am I being a diva or are people around me just lacking in common sense? Perhaps it’s a little of both!”

Yung naka-bold, ako na nagbold wehehehehe. Masayang basahin yun eh. Nakapapambobo naman kase ng argument na yan. Dito para sa kabuuang artikulo.

Tungkol naman sa “my friends thought it was hilarious” parang ayokong makilala mga friends nya.

Kayo na hong bahalang humusga. Nakakapanlumo talaga.
