      I hate the “maraming hindi kumakain/maraming nagugutom sa mundo” remark and I really wish the future generations would not adopt it to their lexicon.

      Also, as a diabetic, I’m sick and tired of hearing people ask “pwede ba sayo yan?” when they see me eating something sweet.

        maraming hindi kumakain

        Ang go-to response ko dito (di ko sure kung kanino ko to unang narinig) is, “Bakit, pag kinain ko ba ‘to, mabubusog na sila?”

      May girlfriend ka na? (I’m gay and currently in a same-sex relationship. I’m in the closet in my family circle) Kailan ka magaasawa? Kailangan mo na magka-anak.

      I get most of this questions from my boomer generation family…

      You’ll be okay. You’re strong.

      I’m not okay, and it won’t make me feel any better. Let me be weak for once.

      “Hoy, bakit wala kang pissbook? May tinatago ka ba?”

      Oh, yes, kasi privacy.

      “May plano ang Diyos.”

      Especially heartless thing to say to a suicidal person who thinks his life is only made up of suffering. What would that mean then? That God wants him to suffer? For what? “Mysterious ways?”

      Equally galling is to hear something like “Mahal ka ng Diyos,” but it makes it up for being clearer statement by making God a sadist.

      Hearing both in quick succession makes me imagine God as that (the) Sims™ player who enjoys putting sims on pools and deleting the ladder, or making sims stay inside 1×1 rooms until they almost die in a puddle of their own pee (and shit), let their bars recover for a bit and repeat the cycle again and again and again until they get bored.

      Naol last work day of the week, I’m still at work and there’s still Friday shift which is later tonight.

      I’m sick of people constantly telling me that I’m not normal, like I know. I don’t need your invalidation.

      Kailan ka mag aasawa

      Pag hindi ka na makakaattend ng kasal.

      Who are they to dictate major life choices? Tapos when they fuck up sa big life-changing decision, sila pa magagalit? Aba tangina nila minamadali nyo ung tao tapos pag palpak kasalanan pa rin nila.

      Fuck the concept of Sala sa init, sala sa lamig
