there is this one person i hate, not because she's fugly ( on second thought i might actually develop hatred against her for being below-- way below my standards), but because she is one stupid cheap shit.

a couple of weekends ago, i met her. unfortunately. at her boyfriend's birthday bash.

in our circle of friends, it has been an unwritten rule to despise this person's very existence. the reasons:

1) she pronounces Akon, yup, the singer, as Ah-kon;

2) she's dark and way too thin;

3) she does not know that the contraction 'SUP exists, and thinks that whoever sends a text message with that must be crazy;

4) she has acquired the ways, habits and mannerisms of the uneducated payatas, tondo, taguig, quiapo dwellers despite the fact that she was able to reach 2nd yr. college in MLfuckingQU, no less!;

5) she keeps on hitting her boyfriend in front of friends;

6) she hits, slaps, pinches people near her when she's sad, happy, ecstatic, melancholic, lethargic, on the brink of insanity, and possibly when she's sleeping;and

7) she calls us MARCE-- yeek! oh, man! i don't want the world to know that i know her.

because of the reasons i mentioned and for other reasons undiscussed in the circle, her arrival at her boyfriend's party summoned a sudden uncomfortable silence. everyone seemed to be polite and all. there were air kisses to supposedly welcome her.

so there she sat in one of the armchairs whike others went about the room heckling and singing and waiting for their turns for that elusive shot of Gran Matador.

i shouldve read the cues. silly me, i had to be the friendly one. i sat beside her and asked how her baby was.she showed me pictures and cute things the baby does. when i finally ran out of questions to ask to conceal my disinterest, she suddenly felt the need to say something about my girth.

Marce, ang taba mo!

"Tang 'na mo! ang pangit mo naman! kapatid mo ba si Pokwang? o masyado mo siyang inidolo kaya nakuha mo mukha niya? basta ako, may pang-kain. e ikaw? at pwede ba 'wag mo ako tratuhin kagaya ng mga squatter, hampas-lupa, patay-gutom at dukha mong mga kaibigan ha. Pasalamat ka at hindi ko binati yang kapangitan mo."

No, i didn't say that, but i could have.. or should have.. but i didn't.

I wasn't in my turf and i recently took a vow to be kind to animals. i mean, to be kind in general.

this wasn't the first time i heard this from her and the next time she does this, am sure i'll wring her hollow head until the eye sockets pop out and her tongue lolls like an unwashed underwear hanging on a rusty clothesline.

i hate her.
