Black and White

Dear insansapinas,

Naah Virginia na malapit sa Washington DC, I am not referring to the group which helped Pnoy  win the election. They're now enjoying the fruits of their "labor" as  power brokers of the administration. I am not also referring to the song of Michael Jackson which video I enjoy watching especially the Bollywood dancer. 


This is about the skin whitener product which supposed to give fairer skin " and the Filipinos' penchant for products that make them look like they're mestisas.  For many, maputi ka lang maganda ka na. : rolleyes:

Illegal injections of a cancer-treating chemical pose a risk of death to legions of Filipinos who use them to try to whiten their skin, health authorities warned Tuesday.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspects the drug glutathione is being injected in high doses as a skin-whitener, but said it can cause serious conditions including kidney failure and blood poisoning.

Pati ba ito ginagawa rin sa beauty parlor? Alam ko kasi noon, ang pagpapatangos ng ilong ay ginagawa kahit na walang training sa cosmetic surgery. Home service pa ha. Yong " maid in Manhattan" ng aking kaibigan nagpapainjection sa ilong nang dumating ako. Wala ang amo niya kaya naghintay ako. Tanong ko kung ano yong iniinjection sa kaniya. Maysakit ba siya? Tawanan sila.  Gustong maging maganda. Pero ang problema pala noon, pag mainit, nadedeform ang ilong. Kaya kung minsan, parang zigzag yong ilong niya. Minsan naman matangos; minsan dapa. nyehehehe.


Ngayon ito na namang skin whitener? 


I am not blessed with fair skin. Negra tawag sa akin noong bata pa ako, lalo galing ako sa dagat at ngumiti ako, ngipin ko lang ang nakikita. mweehehe.


Even  when I was already in college, I had a  professor who claimed that he did not see me when he called the roll. Maitim daw kasi. Biruan na yong "sino ang nagpatay ng ilaw" pag ako dumating. 


Here in the States, they like my olive skin. When I visited my classmate in New Jersey, all the members of the family turned out to welcome me. Palusot ng nanay niya, gusto kong makita kong pumuti ka na rito sa States. toinkk.

Pero kahit na ako maitim, I won't use the skin whitener. Sabi ko nga sa aking kaibigan, kung may magmamahal sa akin, di dahil sa aking mukha, puti o kaseksihan, kung hindi dahil sa aking puso. Merongganun?  (Biyulin nga diyan).
