Why Badong Loves Them...

I have promised in my last post that I will be writing down reasons why Badong loves the "OTHER" family more than the "LEGAL" family. Well, here it is. Go figure! (I am not saying that I am right, whatever I say here is composed of what I feel, what I see, and what others are telling me. I am not even going to be a hypocrite and make myself look like the "good one.") I'm also injecting a lot of logic into it, matalino kasi ako! (Hindi katulad ng iba diya, "maganda nga pero mahina naman ang utak." Forever Health Care I ka na yata 'day!)

1. According to a reliable source, Badong said that his biological kids are so "pangit." Buti pa daw yung anak ni Cheri kasi magaganda. Sabi ni Badong, pano... pangit daw kasi si Orig.
- Ha?! Pangit pala eh... bakit mo siya pinakasalan? Pangit taste mo? Kung pangit taste mo, eh di pangit din si Cheri? [Tignan mo nga mukha mo!] - Shyet nakakahiya, kamukha pa man din (daw) kita.
- The physical traits of your offspring are the result of the DNA mix between you (Badong) and Orig. Therefore, may kapangitan ka din sa balat mo. (Lalo na ugali at budhi mo, pangit na, marumi pa).
- Ano ba ang definition mo ng pangit? Sa itsura lang ba? Eh pano yung mga ginagawa ng mga anak ni Cheri... pangit ba o maganda?

2. Hindi daw kasi malambing ang mga biological kids niya.
- Oh well, yes I must admit - hindi talaga ako malambing... EVER! Eh pano, ang jologs mo kasi (Badong). Hindi paglalambing para sa akin yung pagtanggal ng mabaho mong medyas. (Ewww...) Hindi paglalambing para sa akin yung pagpapaalila sa yo tuwing may sakit ka. (OK lang sana alagaan ka kung hindi ka naninigaw) At hindi paglalambing ang tawag sa paghingi-hingi sa yo ng kung anu-ano... parasitism yun! Hindi ko kailangan maglambing sa yo or sa kahit kanino para makuha ko ang gusto ko. What I need to do to get what I want/need is to WORK for it.

3. Hindi daw malambing ang asawa niya.
- OKay, I rest my case on this... Just a quick question: You knew from the start that the woman you married is not malambing - why did you still marry her?! Why complain only after 25 years?! Delayed reflexes? Delayed reaction?

4. Maasikaso daw at magaling sa bahay si Cheri.
- Eh bakit naman hindi?! Eh wala namang disenteng trabaho yan! Alangan naman na magbasa siya ng libro pag magkasama kayo? Haller! Dapat lang pagsilbihan ka niya (in whatever way-gross or not gross) kasi para masulit naman yung ginagastos mo sa kanya!

5. Making love or... yes... SEX as one of the main reasons.
- Is SEX always the basis of love? Do people marry just because of sex? When you look at a woman - do you see the word SEX on her forehead? Don't you understand that your wife has an illness and is therefore incapable, and as a husband, you had to stand by her side, IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, TILL DEATH DO YOU PART? If your answer is YES - then dapat nga magsama kayo ni Cheri.

6. He found all things nice and beautiful with the other family.
- Your fault! Your fault Badong! You were supposed to guide your family. You were supposed to be (primarily) both a FATHER and a HUSBAND! What were you instead? You were a sabungero, a businessman, a good brother to your siblings, a good samaritan to everyone else, a very good person to EVERYBODY, except your FAMILY!

You treated your family like business: When your wife/kids asked for money, you would reply back saying "Asan yung resibo?" You would tell your family that a business needs to be properly audited by providing receipts. Do you do that to Cherry and her kids?

You were never thoughtful. You were never "nice and beautiful" to your own ORIGINAL family: Do you ever recall a time when you gave birthday- and christmas- gifts to anyone? Do you ever recall a time when you volunteered to teach your daughter how to drive? You would say "Hindi pwede mag drive ang babae kasi nerbyosa ang babae!" Then why are Cheribitch and your bitchy "daughters" sitting on the driver's seat of your FORD EVEREST?!

You never see the good in your family. Proud ka lang sabihin sa friends mo na "matalino" anak mo, pero hanggang dun lang yun kasi nagiging sikat ka. (sorry kung mali ako, pero yun talaga nakikita ko eh)

You always take your family for granted. Do you ever recall a time when you consulted the members of your family on a decision that has to be made? Did you ever ask them if they needed anything, rather than wait for them to tell you? Did you ever give things voluntarily?

I am now starting to dread myself for being so negative. I dread myself for being judgemental and for letting bad things come out into the open. But I can't help myself. I am just a normal person - when I feel bad, I have to let it out. When I am angry - I have to be. No pretentions. No disguises. Nothing to hide! This is me. This is my battle and I am so very UP for it. So Badong and Cheri - watch out! This is only the beginning of your misery.
