ang hirap maging babae

you guessed it right. it IS the time of the month. is it me or are there other
girls out there who, besides having to bear to the aching puson, feel flatulent and gassy inside? gross huh? but really, my tummy hurts so much that i get confused which part of it hurt. oh well. i'm just another girl rambling on a red letter day.

but seriously, ang hirap maging babae.

hindi ka pwedeng sumabit sa jeep.

hirap ka sumampa sa mga reinforcement trucks ng mmda pag may transport strike. lalo na kung fitting skirt-high heels-with-matching-stockings combo ang suot mo.

let's face it, ang H-I-R-A-P magbuhat ng isang timbang tubig o ng isang box ng 6-L
na mineral water o ng groceries na pinamili mo. in short mahirap magbuhat. period.

talo ka lagi sa gitgitan lalo na sa mrt. it's a male dominated world out there lalo na kung mrt ang usapan. nanjan na yung machansingan ka, maipit, matangay.

society dictates na dapat magaling ka maglinis ng bahay, maglaba, mamalantsa at kung ano ano pa. i know this is a bit old school and conservative but really, in a family where both the mother and the father works, ang lola mo pa rin ang all around longkatuts, yaya, cook, karpintero and tubero.

and on top of all these, dapat ka pa ring maging maganda, matalino, maayos, mabango, neat at sexy. otherwise, you will lose on some your games. ang labo di ba? well, i'm not talking about wives and girlfriends of wealthy politicians and businessmen whose job description is to be beautiful at all times a.k.a. gretchen barretto. i'm talking about the typical filipina. tulad ng nanay mo, o ng officemate mo na si lumen o nung babaeng nag aabang ng bus sa EDSA.

come to think of it, men are tough but it's tougher being a woman. it's beyond strength, it's guts. even the simplest act of peeing in a public toilet is twice as hard for crying out loud. and i didn't even mention na hindi kami pwede manligaw, or pregnancy or sagging breasts or UTI.

so to all pinays to have to endure all these and are still reading this blog mabuhay tayong lahat!


note: the author has to stop because of the "sudden gush". ;P

...and they always tell that women are the weaker sex, nek-nek nila! :P sa katunayan, may mga nagagawa nga ang mga guys na kayang-kaya na rin nating mga girls, di ba? i bet susuko sila kung sila gagawa ng mga pinagkakaabalahanan nating mga girls :)

hmmm... isa nga kayang dahilan ito kung bakit maraming bading?!? choosing which one's better? hehehe -- nakow! eh girls din pala magiging kawawa, tataas ang ratio ng women : men -- ayayay! kakaloka :D
