The Other Side Of The Door

“Ang taba mo ngayon! (You gained weight!)”

That statement is certainly NOT the best way to start a conversation with a person you haven’t seen in while.

Raft3r has heard the line several times in the past couple of months. The next time someone says that to my face, that person is DEAD.

So what if someone gains weight?

Does it make that individual less of a person? Do added pounds make you less attractive?

Why do fat people become such easy targets for ridicule? This only goes to show how shallow some people can get.

Ok. So Raft3r is fat. Now back off.

Wendy said...

May comeback ako sa fat comment na yan e. Pag wala ako sa mood, I tell the other person, "E ikaw, bakit haggard na haggard ka ngayon? May problema ka ba?" (with matching concerned look ang delivery, hahaha)

Raft3r said...

wendy, Panalo yan! Pwede pagamit one time? Hehe

Wendy said...

Oo naman. May variations din yan depende sa itsura ng kausap ko. Like, "E ikaw, ba't parang tumanda ka? May sakit ka ba?" It usually works. Naaalarma sila.

Wendy said...

And sa relatives ko na makukulit, I ask, "E ikaw, ba't ang payat mo? Diabetic ka ba?" Hehehe

Raft3r said...

wendy, Nyahaha. Ang galing! Pwedeng-pwede itong pangontra. Hehe

len said...

Di ka nag-iisa, may nagsasabi na rin sa akin niyan. And recently, I gained five pounds.

But if there's one thing I've learned it is not to comment on somebody else's weight unless you are asked. :p

Raft3r said...

len, Tama yan. Dapat hwag na magcomment. Hehe

Visual Velocity said...

There's nothing wrong with being fat. Inggit lang sila kasi marami kang perang pambili ng Häagen-Dazs at Yellow Cab. :D
