perya

mga pilipino nga naman talaga kakabiba.

i was watching tv patrol awhile back and there was this kalabaw who allgedly looked like a dog. it was being talked over the town and the kalabaw was an instant celebrity. then when i saw tha kalabaw, gosh, kaya naman pala mukang aso e may congenital deformity! the snout was incompletely formed, kita un nasal septum nya. he was more of nakakaawa than amazing. pilipino lang talaga ang ganun. we're the only nationality who can make a sensation out of something thats so unlikely. when the sun danced at the time of judiel aba! e manghang mangha tayo. e natural na sasayaw un, kaw ba naman tumitig sa araw, e di ba naman kaya mag flicker mata mo? haaay...

i remember this one drinking spree i had with friends months back and we were talking of the same issue on how filipinos has this habit of sensationalizing things. one good example is the perya (carnaval). here are some of them...
1. taong may kuba ginawang taong palaka
2. taong walang paa nilagyan ng pakpak at ginawang manananggal. matangkad na lalake, kapre na.
3. taong walang makain, pinakain ng buhay na manok
4. may labing isang daliri, galing daw ng ibang planeta
5. may komang, sabi taong wala daw buto
6. nag fuse ang mga daliri, taong bibi na
7. taong ang balat e magaspang na parang nangangaliskis e, anak daw ng syokoy.
8. babaeng nasa palanggana, aba e sirena na
9. unano, dwende daw
10. baklang mukhang kabayo, tikbalang na.
11. malaki mata, tarsier daw
12. taong mahilig magduyan duyan, e unggoy na.

anu ba yun?

the horor! the amazing fact is, we actually pay to see them eventhough we know na niloloko lang tayo coz by the end of the day a good laugh is all we need. but the sad part is, nakakaawa un mga tao. may karamdaman na nga, pinagtatawanan pa. sa sobrang hirap ng buhay wala naman sila magawa kse thats the only way they could earn a living. and we, as much as we want to comiserate for their loses has nothing to do but to pay for the entrance.

thats, how life goes. its like a perya. when we are impaired, we cant help it if certain people make fun out of our misery...at least they're there to witness it. and i know, as much as they are having a good laugh out of it, deep in their hearts they feel the concern and theyre just afraid to handle things. :)
