My UnSutured Life

Hmmm… I don’t know if I’m overreacting or I’m just too sensitive. Someone asked for my name, that’s ok. But to ask "Sino ‘yung matabang yun?" is too much.

I know I’m chubby and I accept that fact. I even laugh with my friends calling me names synonymous to chubby, because they are my friends and I know they are not trying to intimidate or degrade me. But I’m only a person and have limitations, too. My friends know me and stop when they feel I’m alraedy offended by their jokes.

What hurt my feelings is that this someone is a person I really do not know, who does not know me, and is trying to enter a part of my life. And I don’t think it is proper to refer to a person as mataba, payat, maganda, pangit, whatever other deregatory words.

All I’m saying here is that you people should be careful about the things you say about others. The people you tease, and refer to by using deregatory words, feel hurt even if you can’t see it.

I already forgave her for that. I know ( I think) she did not mean to call me that. Maybe it was the only thing that came to her mind, I just want to correct her so that she would be careful next time.
