Delikadesa - something a lot of people are forgetting/don't have.
I always thought it was just a kolehiyala thing but then, for social order and appearances, I now believe everyone needs it too. Not for being prude or plastic in any way, rather to not contribute to the discord in this already-chaotic society that we have.
Look boys and girls, when the person you love leaves you, do what you think will comfort you as long as you don't harm, annoy or disturb others in the process.
Think of it this way - shouting out your frustrations in the market/bulletin/whatever will only confirm that you are on the losing side. It means you're still affected. Who knows? That person may just be laughing at your efforts of sourgraping. Why not try to be indifferent? Indifference hurts more than angry words. Let me remind all of you that you all are living testimonies of that. (I know all your stories and this is just a suggestion; You won't lose your left leg if you try it.)
Fine, fine. I get it that we need to express ourselves. But we don't necesarilly have to do it in public, right?
If you posted a bulletin, a blog entry or a shout-out, I suggest you delete it. I'm only going to say this once. It makes you look pathetic. And I don't want any of my friends to be branded like that. I know you're all way better than that.
I get it that we have different styles of expression and moving on, but sheesh, I reiterate, do it with some control.
Have some delikadesa.
