not the "stomach distress"

one of those mangoes.

In one of Lynette’s blog entries she asked, "what makes you angry?" I thought I should write about one of the things that ticks me off just to let it off my chest. :hide:

People who have issues about OFWs working their asses off in other countries irk me to the core.

So what if they work their “bodies” out? I’d have to quote “bodies” because these people who have issues, have especially categorized jobs requiring “brains” and “bodies”, and the latter definitely don’t deserve that much praise and just so "down" there.

And what irks me more is when these people have issues about OFWs going back home to the Philippines and live the life – bring pasalubongs, shop all they want, buy branded clothes and bags, treat their families to a vacation, etc. I think I’d understand if these people who have issues are family to these OFWs because they can get a little concerned. But when they’re not and the OFWs do not owe them anything, it’s just plain hilarious. You should hear these people comment on the OFWs’ outfits (murag si kinsa), work abroad (manguskos sa tiles or lobot), situation abroad (bills na abot sa langit), and how these “self-proclaimed better people” think they’re so much better than these OFWs, and how they’re so different (they work for this amazing churva) and more special (abot sa langit ila income) than them (than anyone, actually). It’s just plain hilarious and despicable because it just spells crab mentality.

I'd have to say that if these people really think they’re so much better and would want to be recognized (tawn pud) as so much better, murag kinahanglan pa sila i-overhaul kung sa awto pa. Toinks.

Wa na. Nagbukal na ako dugo. Muhunong na ko. :hide:
