What is it with the height that makes people believe that they are tall from what they can see!? I cannot fully understand why they look too much on it, and depend their basis of judgment on that trait. The thing that I hate the most about family gatherings is when I see my never-seen relatives and then mock about my height, kidding how small I was compared to my brothers and other cousins. I admit, and I do know that I am too small for my age, and I do not have that friggingly cute face everybody has been expecting me to have, but GODAMMIT! Must they always remind me that! Why do they hafta comment about everything! An´ you know what I loved about my aunt who just flew here three days ago!? After seeing me beside my youngest brother, she didn´t even make a comment about how freakingly small I was even if I was older than he was. Just a while ago, when I went out to the porch to smell some fresh air, you kno´ what my uncle greeted me? "Si Nene, hindi na yan tatangkad, ´di ba, Nene?" Normally, I would return a smile and nod, but all I did was not to reply anything, even a gesture or so. Oh, yes, I may sound superficial eating out even this small whatever it is...but hey, NEWS FLASH, isn´t it rather offending to use that sentence as an initiating phrase for a conversation! GOD! I respect them all, I really do! But godammit, why are they making it difficult for me! My mom told me why I kept on cooping up inside my room...WHO´S TO BLAME!? Would you think I´d still feel comfortable out there if they are just going tuh hunt me with their incessant, annoying comments about my height!? FUGGHEDABOUTIT! This day doesn´t feel too bad...but...ARGH! SHUT UP!
