A LIITLE BIT OF HISTORY
Let's put it this way. We are not a perfect family and Moodrahbel can be intensely un-motherly that's why probably she is never mentioned in this little world of mine. Kitsi compelled me to write something about this. About family matters.
The foundation of my society has all its flaws. It was never an 8 o'clock orang juice straight from the tetra pack family. We were casually prodded to do something we like but with little encouragement.
Juna had a drumstick and they went to his 'gigs'. Ramses travelled Pinas because he can beat Poodrahbel in a chess game. Poodrahbel practiced string connections with the dean for Daruma to be in a decent university. Moodrahbel brought me a tennis racket then as support to my dream of becoming the next Steffi Graff. Masaya naman ako nun kahit natalo ako sa mga match. It was a normal dream for any parent to see the offsprings graduate.
I said that by 18 i will indefinitely leave the house. Eh college pa ako nun. Sige nga. All my brothers had girlfriends in high school and my Dad finds it ok. I kept mum about my lovelife beacuse i don't want a spotlight. It wasn't existent anyway. From time to time Moodrah thinks I am under bad influence. yes i had bad people around me but i was never influenced. Ayoko ngang mag-yosi noh, ambantot eh. Marijuana was ok, nothing special. Just give me my chocolate. Yun lang naman. My brothers are all angels in arms. They don't drink and smoke as mush as moi. They can whack bones but not their lungs. My other brother 'hates' girls but has a girlfriend. He refused to keep a picture of me in his phone. Di naman ako mukhang jowa niya noh. Ewan ko ba dun.
It's an as we like family, especially the parents. They care but little. They pay attention just to look. If you do good, they clap. If you lose, its ok. If you get pregnant hide in Ilocos. If you kill someone, let's take care of that. If you're gay, what went wrong. If you aggravate someone, take care of that. If you have lots of money, give. If you don't want to give money, we'll ask for it.
There is only one thing that you can't do in the house---NOT do Anything. the parents believe that the body should be put to good use. Magtrabaho ka! It's a silent command once you get out of school.
Magtanim ka ng oregano.Magkuskos ka ng pwet ng kaldero. Mag-tiris ng kuto ng aso pero huwag na huwag kang lalamyerda at magpapalaki ng bayag.
Something pissed me off today. I feel so mapang-mata when i know that someone is not doing anything with his/her life. And then goes out to ridicule people who do something even though it's not great. Nakaka-pundi. Ni mag-crossword di magawa.
Inis lang ako.
