I had a lot of fun reading a
blog about what others think Bakya (or Baduy) is. This inspired me to write down my list. I don't wanna sound maarte or pintasera, but just for FUN (I'm bored with work, excuse me.)
1. Wearing black (or any color for that matter) open-toed sandals plus nude stockings like SM's Sales Ladies.
2. Shemag for non-Muslims in a tropical weather like the Philippines. C'mon, matagal nang nauso ito (remember Victor Basa during PBB Teen Edition?) Enough.
(Edit: Victor Basa was part of PBB Celebrity Edition.) :D
3. Colored skinnies for 30 yo and above (both for guys and girls). Let's give it to the tweens, please.
4. "Sinampal-sampal Look" aka "Itlog na Pula Wonders" - too much blush/cheek tint application - enough said. Hahaha :D Seriously, applying blush is of course okay, but anthing OVER is tacky.
5. Posting a 100+ images in an album eg. Friendster, Multiply etc na wala namang okasyon, walang saysay and most importantly puro self-shots lang na iisa ang anggulo (iba-iba lang ang pose) - may "kilala" ako na 100+ images na puro solo nya na di lumalabas ang ngipin pag nagsmile, iba-iba lang ang hinahawakan nya/ginagawa (eg. pose sa tabi ng piano, pose sa veranda etc).
6. "The Friendster Moment". This social network has gotten us Pinoys to become camwhores overnight! Konting kibot picture-then upload. Sumakay lang sa bus picture-then upload. Totally tasteless. Because of this site, kahit pagkain ng barkada sa McDo nagiging parang isang grand reunion kasi panay ang picture taking. (And laging may naga-ask ng favor sa mga waiters to get their pictures kaya ang ending,ang hirap tumawag ng waiters- pansin ko lang sa mga nakakainan ko).
7. Wearing Havaianas as a "fashion statement". Havs is still tsinelas no matter how we love it..kahit mahal siya. Please do not wear it in the church. And for the corporate people, havs plus your office attire don't go together (esp skirt). Puhlease.
