uy, ang laki naman nyan!

sad. i've been getting some bad reviews lately.

"parang tumataba ka."

"tumaba ka ba o sa damit mo lang?"

"mukhang napapasarap ang kain ah."

i don't know. i've been trying my best to cut on my carbs for some months now, pero mukhang walang epekto. na-notice ko rin na unti-unting sumisikip ang pants ko. (no, hindi bastos yang ibig kong sabihin.) sinukatan kami ng office uniforms mid of last year pa.

ngayon sinusuot na namin yung uniforms. ang iniisip ko na lang, nagkamali ng sukat yung nagtahi.

and as an inspiration, lagi kong pine-play sa isip ko yung mga linya sa Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen):

you are not as fat as you imagine.

remember the compliments you receive. forget the insults.

enjoy your body. use it every way you can. don't be afraid of it. or what other people think of it. it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
 
do not read beauty magazines. they will only make you feel ugly.

accept certain inalienable truths.

one time, a former officemate, a well-endowed girl at that, at kilala for being taklesa most of the time, told me, "sir rodel, ang laki-laki naman ng tiyan mo!"

to which i snapped, "wala namang pakialaman! yang ANO mo nga, ang laki-laki din, pero hindi ko pinakikialaman!"

ganyan lang ang labanan minsan. gulatan lang.
