When Being Treated Specially No Longer Feels Good

It's nice to be treated special every once in a while. I mean, who wouldn't want to feel like a queen, even if you aren't living in a palace? But there are times when the treatment doesn't feel good anymore. Perhaps you feel like it's not genuine. It's forced. Or sometimes, you feel like they do it out of pity.

Personally, it feels weird to be treated special. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve the "spotlight." Like, my own food differs from everyone else's. There are times when other people walk on eggshells around me. Because they don't want to hurt my feelings, or that's what they think. They think that I'm too fragile to handle the truth or that I'm not capable of handling difficult situations. But from my point of view, I feel so out of place every time they do that. I feel ignored. I feel neglected. I feel like I'm still a little kid. The irony is that people treat me as a child, but they expect me to act like an adult.

The hard truth is that, at times, people who give you special treatment are the same people who talk bad behind your back. That's when the treatment no longer feels good. Why don't they just act what they really feel towards me? Why can't they just be real with me? Isn't it easier to show your authentic self? I don't have to be pitied. I'm not a charity case.

It's nice to be treated like a queen every once in a while. It's nice to be handed things on a silver platter. But I'd rather you be rude to me than fake your concern. In this world full of fake people, please don't be one.




au revoir. 😊

Sat With Ree: Westlife The Twenty Tour

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop

Sat With Ree: Jab We'll Done

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked before

It's Our 8th

Happy 8th Anniversary to us, blogspot. At sa'yo na palaging nagbabasa ng mga blogs ko, maraming maraming salamat sa paglalaan ng oras. Sana andiyan ka pa rin next anniversary natin at sa susunod pang anniversary at sa madami pang anniversary na icecelebrate natin dito sa blogspot.  Maybe you're wondrin' paano nga ba nagsimula ang pagsusulat ko dito? If you're a "legit" reader of my blogs especially the old ones you probably have an idea on how I struggled with finding a job. Kaya madami akong time mag-browse ng internet at madami akong time magbasa. Gustong-gusto ko noon na magbasa ng mga articles or mga inspiring stories. Everytime I read a well-written story especially the ones written in pure english I am always impressed with the writer. Doon nagsimula yong pangarap ko na maging isang magaling na manunulat. Gusto ko rin maging katulad nila. That time gusto ko rin magsulat at may mainspire ako sa mga sinulat ko. That time I was following a lifestyle blogger
