moms are funny that way...

I was just walking down the street this afternoon and for some weird reason, people kept on saying hello to me. Weird. Total strangers. It must be this stupid skirt. See, I'm REQUIRED by my boss to wear a skirt every monday. Something about looking professional or something like that. Nothing wrong with being all girly though. I just hate having to shave or pluck my legs on Monday mornings. Haay. Remind me to go and hav my legs lasered already. I get antsy kasi eh.

Anyway...

So this morning, on the way to work, my mom launches into her "Lose weight, you're fat. Cut your hair, you look haggard." bit. The killer? "You were pretty na before. Now you're getting fat again. Stop eating." I know she does it out of love, but it drives me CRAZY. I suppose she just wants people to think I'm attractive, or something to that extent. But get this: 5 minutes later, while we were stuck in traffic, some guy in a pickup stares right at me. She gets annoyed and says "Can you just put your sunglasses on so people will stop looking at you?!?"

Here's the part where I start to think "Eh?"

My mom talaga...
