The Best And The Rest 208

I’d like to think I’m spoiled, but not necessarily a spoiled brat.  My late father really spoiled us, but somehow we did know our limits.  When I was little I’d really let it rip, but as I got older, seeing just how kind and wonderful our dad was, the behavior really reined itself in.  It was as if we felt really sleazy if we were to abuse the kindness of such a good man.  But to the very end he spoiled us, especially me, the youngest.

March 12, 2009 → The Top Ten Signs That You’re A Spoiled Brat – Astroboy

1. Morticia – My mom would carry me whenever there’s a flood in our area…even when I was in college already.
2. Pretty_Kitty – While ordering, the cashier kept suggesting food I should get. I told her: “If I wanted them, then I’d order them.”
3. Robjo – When my friend was younger, she’d draw a circle on the ground and tell her yaya: “Diyan ka lang, wag kang lalabassa circle!” Sad part was, the yayas would do it. That’s why they had new yayas every 2 months.
4. Binbin – Everytime my mom would say no, I’d go to my dad and he’d say yes.
5. Kesibi – When I was young I used to force our maid to eat cat food.  I wanted to make sure it was safe to feed our cat.
6. Morgan – I know a girl who drugged her boy barkada half her age to get herself pregnant.
7. Louise – After my husband comes home tired after working all day, I ask him to massage my back…because it’s sore after lying down all day.
8. Sherry25 – When my sister and I want something from our parents, we ask our brother to ask them. They always say no to us, but always say yes to him.
9. No name – Whenever I scold my 6-year-old son, he tells me: “Sige, isusumbong kita sa tatay mo!”
10. Cheezee – Whenever my friend fights with her mom, she maxes out her mom’s credit card.
11. Edric – My friend is a flight attendant so she bought a house and left her son with her parents. Whenever her son gets mad, he tells his own grandparents: “Get out of my house!”
12. Kurengkeng – When I’m irritable on a weekend, my husband would go: “Haaay…ang sarap mag-malling!” Then he’d bring me to my favorite boutique and insist I buy that blouse that I’d be eyeing even if we don’t really have a budget for it.
13. Gracia – I know of a mom whose daughter doesn’t go to school, just because she doesn’t want to! Ironically, this mom is a DepEd official.
14. Frederique – I know of a 48-year-old ex-military man who never flushes the toilet. Instead, his wife flushes after he’s done doing #1 or #2 wherever they are. We call him Flush Gordon.
15. Jorik – I would bang the door, wet myself and cry for hours until my parents gave me what I wanted.
16. Candies – If everytime you see someone laughing, you go: “Shut up, bitch.”
17. Tipsy – We have an officemate we stopped going out with, because she would absentmindedly hand us her mineral water, bag, or wallet, as if we were her yayas.
18. Dennis – My daughter asked for a mini-notebook because her brand new 13-inch laptop is “too heavy”.
19. No name – I’ve been married to my husband for 25 years, but I never said “I’m sorry” to my husband, not even once, even if I’m at fault.
20. Smiles_a_lot – I had a schoolmate who demanded her parents fly her whole class and all her friends to Boracay for her debut.
21. Espeks – I grew up mapili sa pagkain. Whenever I’d visit my then girlfiend’s house, my future in-laws would ask me first if I’d eat what they were planning to cook. If not, they’d cook something else.
22. Ais – My brother gets paid for every passing grade he got in school.
23. Loipogi – Spoiled brat yung biyenan ng friend ko. Every 15th and 30th, she always visits their house & expects something from the couple.
24. Siren – I never experience color-coding because everyone in the house adjusts to my schedule so that I’d always have a car to use.
25. Mama Aphaj – We all live in the North, but everytime we have a get-together, we meet up somewhere in the South because of one spoiled barkada who lives in Alabang.
26. Mama Aphaj – My dad is 55, I’m 37, working, married with 3 kids. But I still get an allowance from him.
27. Maomao – I don’t want to admit that I’m a spoiled brat, but one time my mom told me: “Anak, wala ka na bang iuutos? Matutulog na kasi ko eh.”
