A True Maldita


Hindi ako mag e-endorse ng clothing line. Gusto ko lang i-define ano ba ang maldita. Sino nga ba ang CERTIFIED MALDITA? According to popular belief, ang mga maldita ay yung tipong napapanood natin sa teleserye - nananampal at nanabunot ng bidang babae. Sa totoong buhay, madalang ka lang maka encounter ng demonyita, hindi maldita yun. aswang na ang tawag sa mga napapanood mong antagonists sa paborito mong soap. eh ano nga ba talaga ang maldita?



1. Maldita ka, pag marunong kang magsalita at sumagot. Ang dami - daming matalino, maganda, may pinag-aralan, nasa mataas na kumpanya, may Masteral degree, mayaman pero pag nagsalita wala kang mapulot. Parang mga high school na ang range of topic lang na pwede silang maging aktibo ay tungkol sa lalaki at sa ‘close friends’ nila na hindi mo naman kilala sa earth. Maldita ka, pag kahit anong usapan — usapang kanto, usapang tambay, usapang propesyonal, usapang bakla, usapang pang-artist, usapang baluktot ay pwede kang sumabay. Hindi sarado mag-isip ang maldita. Hindi mo sila maririnigan ng ” eeeewwww, that’s yucky!”, ang arte!!! hahaha :)))

2. That points out to the next characteristic of a maldita. She doesn’t speak like a mongoloid. Magsasalita siya ng diretso. Walang arte. Walang pagpapanggap. Kung hindi siya bihasa sa english, eh di sa tagalog at kung gusto naman n’yang magsalita sa english eh hindi siya gumagaya ng mga two-year old kid na parang bulol na at may speech defect, maging ’sosyal’ lang sa tingin ng iba. You are not a maldita, if you try to speak in english & your grammar is unforgivable. That means, she isn’t Trying Hard to Impress Anyone. (example ung friend ko) and probably she really has a good head on her shoulders but she will not pass to be a maldita. why? she answers phone with a ” HEYOW” and not with a proper ‘HELLO’. Dear, if you are going to read this, Hello is spelled with an ‘L’ not with a ‘Y’. Nakakahiya, Speak well. :|

3. A maldita does not succumb to pain & hurt. Normal sa mundo ang masaktan at mahirapan at apihin ng mga hinayupak na mapang-api sa mundo. Pero, she doesn’t stop looking for her heart, I don’t say that malditas cannot be weak. But what is admirable in them, is that they admit their weaknesses, their pains & hurts. They don’t put a farce of stregth and joviality if they don’t feel happy. & they try to stand up, after every fall. They are not afraid to trudge a new road or get up and continue the journey. They just don’t move on, they become better — in the sense of strength, life views, character & relating with themselves & with others.

4. Maldita ka kapag marunong kang magsabi ng ‘tama na’. Maraming babae na kahit durog na durog na ang puso, dignidad at pagkatao ay sumisige pa rin. Sa kahit anong konteksto ng sitwasyon — relasyon, pamilya, trabaho at relihiyon. Hindi papayag ang isang maldita na maligaw ng panghabambuhay ang pagkatao at puso n’ya. Hindi n’ya hahayaan na hindi na n’ya kilala ang sarili n’ya pag gising n’ya isang araw dahil sa mga ginagalawan n’yang mga sitwasyon. Maraming pagkakataon na dumadaan ang isang tao sa sangang-daan at malaki ang posibilidad na maligaw at mawala ka — makalimutan ang tunay na kulay ng puso mo, pero kung hindi mo na ulit makikita ang sarili mo, talo ka. A maldita doesn’t let her boyfriend, her past, her parents, her family, her work, her achievements, her career, her position, her friends, her peers,&& her religion DEFINE her. She knows herself && she knows her heart.

5. & lastly. You are Maldita if you admit you are ONE. marami kasi, nagpapanggap pang goody-goody. Naman, bait-baitan ka d’yan, eh ang totoo naman maitim din ang budhi. There is nothing wrong & bad with being a maldita. As i have pointed out , wala namang masama sa pagiging maldita — Being maldita is actually a blessing if you know how to use it ( Parang powers lang). Walang masama sa pagiging maldita basta wag kang maging bitchesa to the thousandth power. Aminado ako, maldita ako. Lahat ng nagiging tunay kong kaibigan ay makaka attest na maldita ako. Totoo, dati i thought being maldita can be a drawback for me, but i have proven that my being maldita is being true to myself. That if i try to be the sweet-looking girl next-door, that is utterly kaplastikan. This is me. If you want me, take me, if not then, you can always take a step away and leave. I won’t rub in myself to you. This is a free world. You can always think and feel otherwise. :)
