10 Types of Women Your Momma Warned You About

Do you remember when you were a kid, your mom told you about not going with a certain girl friend because she might just cut your Barbie’s head or ruin your doll’s dress? As for guys, do you remember your mom showing her dislikes to the girl you just brought home? She has her reasons! Good reasons. Well, if you did not head to your momma’s advice, I bet you discovered two things: 1. Your momma was right after all (not that your friend ruined your Barbie, but, she sure did ruin your future) and 2. You end up with zero bank balance.

Here are the types of women you should stop being with, or be warned about.

1.       The Barbie Thief – You always have that one girlfriend who seems to be so envious of what you have. Whether you have a new dress, a new doll house, or new pair of shoes, she can’t seem to be happy that you are happy with what you have. You know why? Because she wants all those same things that you have. You know what that means? Let’s say, you have a pretty boyfriend, she has seen him, now what? She’s gonna steal your boyfriend!

2.       The Drunken Party-goer – There is no problem with going to parties IF you are going out with the right set of friends. This type of woman should be kept in her bag the moment she empties her 3rd shot of vodka tonic. You definitely don’t want to see her going on top of the bar, dancing her way on her heels when she’s wearing a skimpy skirt, and thongs underneath. Too much having of a good time? It will cost you a lot! Worst, might end up in jail for damaging a property or breaking somebody else’s car windows at the parking lot after she puked the last strand of pasta she had for dinner. Zip up and head your way home!

3.       The Bankrupt – It’s not all the time that we have cash, right? But it’s also not always that we ran out of it. Hey, guess what? You always have this one girl friend who keeps announcing to you that she has no money. Yes, you can lend some, but not all the time especially if she hasn’t paid the last credit, yet. Girlfriend, she’s not your responsibility. Don’t let money issues get in the way of your friendship. Do not tolerate it and the best thing you should do is to give her a wise financial advice. Be honest. What are friends for anyway?

4.       The Banker While you have a bankrupt friend, you might also have this type – the banker. She is that kind who will go knocking at your door in the wee hours of the night, wanting to party, or lounge at this expensive and famous restaurant or bar in your area—all expense paid! But wait, seriously? Remember that saying, I’ll scratch your back, you scratch mine? Here’s the deal, the moment she gets the bill and paid everything, the next time, she knocks on your door, whether you are doing your laundry, or busy with school projects, you will never be able to say no. Why not? Because, she paid you to spend your time with her, and you can’t be sick all the time!

5.       The Closet Raider – You probably have an idea about this type of woman. She calls in; speak about a date, and the distress of finding the right dress for it. What can you do? She is a friend and you happen to have a truckload of very nice dresses to lend her. So, she walks in carrying her knap sack and she exclaims in so much anticipation when she gets hold of your Zara lacey dress. Oh well, don’t expect it will be returned, but she will! She just doesn’t run out of dates, and you, my friend, have just been raided!

6.       The Material Girl – This is very common to be encountered by a guy who happens to lounge a lot in bars. This girl arrives in shiny and shimmering skimpy clothes, wearing her 3-inch jimmy shoes, and her Gucci purse. One look and you see the girl of your dreams. Well, she is—if you mean, physically. She works out a lot, and she sure have a gym membership card. She also, by the way, owns at least three credit cards, all of which, almost dried up for apparels. And here’s the deal, once she sees you in your leather Aldo shoes, and Patek Philippe watch, you’ll get her sweetest smile. Next thing you know, you are buying her a drink. I wish to tell you that you did not end up hooking up with her, but of course you know how this will end. What better way to swoon your perfect glittering girl than treating her to shopping using your credit cards! Oh boy, if it would make you feel better, you were also her man of his dreams, until the credit companies go after you though!

7.       The Daddy’s Girl – Guys, listen up! Now this type of girl, you sure want to care for. She comes really vulnerable and family oriented, I must say. It’s not that being so is bad. It’s just that, you simply don’t want to end up bringing her balloons, or donuts, or pizzas, every time she feels bad about her cat. Because you know why? You’ll end up explaining to her daddy! Every detail of your relationship, her daddy’s the first to know. That would be so awkward, right? Do not wait for the time you sit beside her daddy in their dining table being caught up with this question from him: so, you want to have sex with my daughter? *arms pounding on the table*

8.       The Rebel – Are you the type of guy who always ends up with the rebel girl? What more fun can you get than spending time with a girl who also knows how to have fun, amiright? But here is the thing, once you get so comfortable with her, knowing, or feeling that you are of the same wavelength, you get so hooked up with her company that whatever she wants to do (out of the blue), whether she wants to trek on the Andes Mountains, or run with the leopards in South Africa, you can barely say no. It’s refreshing, her company, yes, but do you really want to when she also, wants to do drugs? Careful there, now. You don’t wanna spend Christmas in jail, trust me!

9.       The “One of the Boys” – You got off the hook when you fall for this kind of woman. By ‘you got off the hook’; I mean that you got away from the monotony of your boring life. You suddenly acquired a best friend in her. She is always on the go and she easily gets along with y’all boys. She can even become the President of a boys’ club. However, one thing you should be warned about her. You might want to dig deeper into her personality or you’ll regret not doing so and knowing in the end that your girl, happens to be a lesbian –in your face!

10.   The Dreamer – ‘What is your dream wedding?’ ‘What is your dream house?’ Scared yet? There’s your dreamer girl’s dreamy questions. These are questions you might want to ponder on. But, they can get you really scared if there never comes a day she hasn’t stopped asking about them. Your dreamer dreams a lot she hangs herself in illusion. Someone who is not in touch with her real world is either a psychopath or a bipolar bi*ch. You better be careful. Next thing you know she’s asking you to fly with her to Neverland!

The Filipino Dreamer



                                                                                                                                          January 18, 2013



Republic of the Philippines
Mother of the Orient Pearl
Home of Heroes and Dreams
000-01


My Dearest Philippines,


Pardon my insufficiency for words of appreciation but I grieve to see how ruined you have become by your own people. The centuries-old fortified dream towards democracy momentarily and scantly liberates your people from the feudal lords of yesteryears. There have been many documented legends of your rise and fall, even heroism untold all for the love of untying your people's hands from religious land-grabbers whose whips forced you to kneel down and pray before the Crown. Fathers and sons, anguished and bootless cries of mothers who lost both; what any man cannot withstand any wound, no matter how mortal, inflicted upon them, should they lost not only their legacy to the land where generations spring from but to whose womb of an all-loving mother, a child breathes the air of life?

And after all the years of fighting for freedom, there came the white acclaimed heroes who dug their claws into the golden Crown, ditching it and put all illusions to rest, again, momentarily in the guise of independence and democracy. The Republic of the Philippines, that's how you are called today.

What if you have achieved true democracy?
What if you become the first world?
And... what if you failed to dream?


What if?

Whoever said that democracy today, in the facade of independence and the Republic label has been truthfully achieved, is a dyslexic moron. There is no democracy in a promise land when the 'few' ruling Elites continue to control the crux, that is the bread, of the working class or masses comprising, sadly, the 'majority' without taking the honest efforts of bridging the adverse economic disparities. My dear Philippines, before you were promised freedom, you were already bound to another knot; bound to enter another shithole, another nightmare. What the holders of super powers say, Philippines do. Every yard or inch of freedom you claim to have enjoyed now emanates from another, not from your people whom your Constitution regards as sovereign, but from those who pushed you to frame the same; a duplication of what they originally have!

Of course, you did not have much choice. Or if you had, you are restrained to fully exercise it because you are not dominant enough, nor free enough, and not liberated enough to do so. You are hanged by your own ropes of free dreams and oppressive realities.

On the brighter context, Republicanism has triggered the hope of your dear countrymen, from forgotten generations, to the newlyborns of today, to dream even more, to seek more and to willingly die for more. But Filipinos dream for all the wrong reasons. And now I understand the sadness in your eyes. Your beloved people never dared to wake up from their dreams and face what is real. They continue to die for many dreams which are either forgotten or killed. And the dreams of yesterday are the same dreams they bear today.

I too, am lost in translation somewhere in between my rich, brute history and my undoubtedly cloudy Philippine future. Like all others, I also dream. But behold! If such appeal to your pride, I was able to wake up from these dreams. I have seen you bleed over and over. My heart sunk to witness repeated violence and lawlessness directed upon you. For the countless degradation and mockery of your being, I bled of tears. And the worst part which shattered my heart is your beloved people, whom you believed and trusted to raise the freedom flag high with dignity, all takes part in a conspiracy to strip off the thin thread of hope towards liberation that the 'majority' anchors their hope upon.

Freedom becomes scarce, I must say. And the competition to get the last of its piece gets tighter, day by day. The ladder of dreams gets higher and waning; unreachable by those who are debunked but a wink of an eye for the reigning cronies of our dreaded past. This has to go on for a long while, I suppose. And should we choose to forget who wounded us before, maybe, I must say, nay, I am sure, we shall also forget who we truly are... Filipinos in our own being, all the more worthy to die for!

But I still look up to the day the rays of your oriental sun dawns upon your people with so much hope and love; that may the waves of the Pacific never cease to calm their distraught souls; that the Palawan pearls continue to gleam for the promise of elevation; that these hundred islands of your archipelago shall never be a factor to divide your people the more; that someday, someday, someday, if that day shall ever come, moonlights shall never go pale because true freedom has been enjoyed.



                                                                                                                             With all my love and hope,

                                                                                                                               Your Filipino Dreamer
