wrUng SenT


Promise, witty lang ang makakapick-up dun sa title.
 
Dear Kimmy,

I am writing this letter to share how deeply pissed I am with the UP people after the 2012 UAAP Cheerdance Competition. I heard you are a fellow Tiger kaya siguro naman ay nakikiisa ka sa aming observations regarding sa matinding pagyabang nga mga taga UP. For so long the SDT held the spot for the most wins and even the 5peat feat is still to be equalled by any other cheering squad.  Did the other schools hear from us na nagyayabang? Hindi diba. I have my elder brothers and sister study in UST also and we have observed that di yumayabang mga students dito when nanalo. Tapos idagdag pa jan ang sinasabi ng marami na dapat daw La Salle number 4 at di ang SDT. Ano ba? Ano ang big deal dun? Maganda din naman at competitive ang performance ng SDT ah? Bakit andami bitter? In my own opinion ay di kami katulad ng ibang cheering squads jan na nanggagaya ng routines at style o kahit theme ng mga kalaban during the previous seasons.

May mga kaklase ako from highschool who studied sa UP and they are so proud to the extent of bullying us UST students for a poor performance daw ng SDT. May mga nagsasabi daw na palaos ng palaos na sila. I think na hindi naman ganun kasi maganda nga ang nagging performance nila. Minsan nga lang ay iba-iba din ang taste ng judges kaya natural na minsan nanalo at minsan natatalo. Ok lang naman sa akin ang maging proud pero wag naman sana yung nang-aasar pa kasi nakakainis na talaga eh. Given the chance na I can dance talaga, sasali ako sa SDT at ipprove jan sa mga ibang schools na di pa kami laos.

Kahit na 4th na lang ang SDT this year, very proud pa din ako sa kanila.

Little Miss Growling Tiger

Dear Little Miss Growling Tiger,

Before I start reacting to this letter, let me clear a confusion here. Although I am flattered that some may think that I am from UST and true enough- a part of my heart ONCE resided in UST (hahaha charotness wag na pangalanan at may magseselos ng matindi) but I cannot denounce my ISKA citizenship (mabaog ang kokontra) dahil magagalit ang aking boylet na isang isko (from the College of Engineering- Department of _____ Engineering to be exact). Given the opportunity na makakita ako ng isang Tiger na kasingtalino, kasing gwapo, kasing bait, kasing sipag ni Chovako ay go lang ako na magchange ng citizenship. Ganun naman di ba yung mga babae pag nag-aasawa, sinusuko ang kanilang mainden name? Feelingera lang ako eh. So here I am caught between the urge to bash you since you have pointed out that my fellow iskos and iskas are naging mayabang at alaskador right after the CDC and the desire to remain neutral as a blogger na hinihingan ng payo ng isang eklatera.
During my time as an undergraduate student at UP, the greatest rival we have when it comes to CDC ay ang UST- no doubt with that. So let us trace back my dear ano.. so dati-rati ay isa ang SDT sa mga namamayagpag sa CDC at ngayon ay number four na sila and still riddled with a lot of jeers pa kasi may mga nagsasabi nga na La Salle dapat (Sayo galing tong info na to na vinalidate ko by lurking sa PEX- very credible diba). So ano ang tawag mo doon? Graceful pagdausdos? Uhm pansamantalang pamamahinga ang #difeelngjudgesangdrama? Or pwede ding #kakaumaymanalopatalonamanminsan? Hahaha BukoJuiceko Maria tama na yang maang-maangan portion mo at magising ka sa katotohanan- ang term ng mga Tagalog sa phenomenon na yun ay pagkalaos. Go lang correct me if I am wrong. Pero ayun nga marami namang mga boldstarlets noon ang nagawa pa din sumikat sa showbiz kahit laos na ang panahon ng bomba sa Pinas dahil sa pagsulpot ng mga napakadaming aspiring pornstars. Guyabano Juiceko Matilda ayaw ng boylet ko ng ganyan kasi madasalin siya. Haha Kaya never too late para sa SDT na bumangon muli at durugin ang ibang school wag lang ang UP PEP. Hahaha Walang halong bias jan.

On the suggestion that given na magaling ka sumayaw ay sasali ka sa SDT- wow lang naman please let me react. Teh naman kahit anong gawin mong kakasplit dun. O kakatumbling o magpyramid ka mang mag-isa or magngangangawa ka- ano naman ang magagwa mo sakaling andun ka na ikaw lang ang makakagawa? Di ba the dance is supposed to be a group effort. Di ka pa nga member ay feelingerang pa-star ka na agad? Ayaw ng SDT sa mga primadonna sabi sa akin nung friend ko sa La Salle. I would not vouch for the credibility of that statement ha. 

On the point na hindi marunong mangggaya ang SDT- hmmm tahimik na lamang ako jan at walang sasabihin. Although the festive theme na Brazilian din daw I think was evident from a UP Pep performance a few years back. So are the other stunts that are being recycled and tagged as their own. Aside from that no comment na talaga. And wait lang pala, bakit naman hindi magmamayabang ang kasikohan at kaiskahan e nanalo nga? Magtaka ka na lang kung natalo nagyayabang pa. Yun na ang masama day!

Kung ako lang ang tatanungin at pwedeng magmagaling- just for one lang please. I would suggest that SDT should bank on their strengths in order to recapture their slot on the top 3. Since bahain naman jan baka naman nagmutate na kayo to adapt with the floods at gumaling kayo sa sisiran or pamamangka so why not gamitin yun sa mabuting paraan. Magtrain na lang kamo sila para sa dragonboat team at swimming team at sakaling makapasok ulit sila sa top 3 ng swimming at rowing. Oha san ka. 

Title pa lang maipilit lang.

uMaaRTe lang

Hellers mga readers, I have to apologize for neglecting my duty to update this blog. Been to busy with life given na sandamakmak ang aking mga commitments- sa UN, sa Embassy, sa New York.. hahahaha.

Kidding aside, I would like to feature this letter which was sent last April pa but I was not able to respond to it. I hope our readers can pick up something out of this. I think I should have posted this at my other blog site (MRTales but I will for the mean time feature it here.) Enjoy!!

Dear Kimmy,

I was riding the MRT on the way home when I came across some guys who are so noisy. They were talking about the girls whom they get to know through the MRT. One was noisier than the others and keeps on bragging that he is pursued by the girls he meet on the train. He shared that one time while on the train, a girl smiled at him and suddenly asked for his number oblivious of the crowd around them. At first, I thought the other guy is not sort of a braggart as the other but I am very wrong because he is as bragging as the other guy. He shared that once he encountered a married woman who asked him for a quick time at a motel near a station. All the other guys with them kept laughing and smirking as if the other two made great feats.

I was very much shocked with what these two guys are talking about. They were very noisy and they were disturbing me. I was very irritated because the topic should at least be hushed for other venues. I was harassed at the train. I think the trains should impose a rule for proper decorum among its riders.

Form,
Artnail

Dear Artnail,

Yes I have to go with you that there really are a lot of insensitive people on the trains whether it be on the MRT, LRT or the PNR. Well I am not so sure with the PNR since I only tried it once and was appalled by the barbarism of some people. I am not very sure if I am drawing a very accurate conclusion from your observation as I can not profile the wrongdoers effectively due to your messy sharing of a story. Napakagulo day! Subra subra man talaga.. ansakit sa ulo.

You should have made the effort to provide some details whether these guys are kids out from school. That in itself can be categorized further into schoolboys from K-12 or highschool maybe or college or TESDA or the likes (soldiers from training courses or policemen).. hahahaha Kasi if you overheard some kids (K-grade 6/7) I can say that that was fully bragging. The idea is just so far fetch and these kids are just plainly ambisyoso. Well you might say that what a stupid blogger I am for not being able to segregate boys from guys- I would say that in my defense I am thinking that it might be you who posses a loose capacity to distinguish between guys or boys.

Nwei if ever naman na kabinataan yun. Pareho lang din ang aking masasabi na mga ambisyoso sila. Unless mga gwapo to the level of the heavens ang kanilang face and body value, only then can I agree that maybe truelalo at walang halong eklavo ang kanilang claims. You see kung gaano ka kawalang kwentang letter sender? the details are just so lacking that I can not judge the situation objectively.

Malay ko ba baka naman mga bakla ang mga nakaengkwentro mo at nais lang nilang imalign ang reputation ng mga bilat kaya they seem to make it appear na girls riding the trains are just so cheap to strike on boys. Well if they have made the effort of broadcasting it to everyone on the train, my theory is very plausible. Mga baklang maninira sa reputasyon ng mga babae. Kais look at it, either they benefit from it by making it appear na mga macho guys sila na katilam-tilam or that they want the other guys on the train to be disgusted with the girls. Sounds far fetched? I do not think so.hahaha

If indeed these guys are hot as they claim, why have I not seen them? Why have they singled out those girls while in fact some gays and guys (pretending to be guys lang) are more agressive when it comes to making it known to the opposite sex about their attraction. Kaya isang napakalaking Nannette Inventor award and aking igagawad sa mga lalaking yan. Kung mali man ako, next time naman na maencounter mo ulit sila pakiusapan mo naman sila na icontact ako ng makita ko naman for myself and pinagmamayabang nila.

Sa lahat ng readers should you face a similar situation,  confront these feelingeros and tell them straight..

"malaglag man bayag mo kung di totoo yan?"

promise, nothing can disarm feelingeros better than this!

To close this, in the name of fair blogging I would like to say that my blog is open for the accused perpetrators to send back their notes to refute whatever is here. 


-Kimmy at your service
