Here’s to the friendship
that could have been ours:
wife of my lover,
lover of my husband,
lover of my lover.
For women at both ends
are always rivals:
smiling for points
at a beauty contest,
icing the cake
at a cooking competition,
sprinting for the gold
as they race to a man’s heart. (more…)
Babae akong namumuhay na mag-isa
Hiwalay sa asawa
Matandang Dalaga
Kerida
Puta.
Ang aking pag-iisa’y
Batik na ituturing ng aking lipunan
Latay na pabaon ng nakaraan,
Pilat na taglay hanggang sa kasalukuyan. (more…)
because to me the ultimate kabastusan, what is truly disgusting, is to pretend to be of the marginalized, when you are so obviously already in prized posts in Malacanang, and at this point are coming off as a presidential sister, too.
you might imagine your kabastusan the acceptable kind, but you are no better than Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo making her son and allies run for partylist rep. for all your anti-GMA rhetoric PNoy, you are becoming like her in many ways. complete with wanting to silence critics. good job.
we focus on the burgis notions of kabastusan? we silence the more valid questions.
