i've no idea if any of you have seen these articles currently circulating online. but man, i really couldn't help but do this. sorry if any of you know her but this woman is absolutely ridiculous.
these are articles by a woman named malu fernandez about her supposedly "fierce and fabulous" vacation to boracay and greece. the first documents details of her braving the perils of economy class (cutting costs, apparently) and being suffocated by overseas filipino workers during her flight that made her want to "slash her wrists". the trip then inspired traumatized the blockhead to write another stupid entry about fragrance.
it's a shame that the media, people asia in this case, allows shameless writing like this. WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU TRYING TO DELIVER. regardless of what this ignoramus' opinions are and whether they may hold true for some people or not - this is horrible writing. SUBSTANCE, PLEASE. i'm surprised i managed to sit through the entire thing. the woman has no sense of respect for the people who obviously deserve it so much more than she does. judge a person's lifestyle if you actually have the right to you shallow, conceited dimwit.
i'd love to meet her one day. she apparently got a lot of hate mail after this was published.
As I type this, I’d like you to know that it’s not about whining, complaining and bitching but just stating the facts. Just recently, I wrote a funny article in my magazine column and my friends thought it was hilarious. It was humorous and quite tongue-in-cheek, or at least I thought so, until the magazine got a few e-mails from people who didn’t get the meaning of my acerbic wit. The bottom line was just that I had offended the reader’s socioeconomic background. If any of these people actually read anything thicker then a magazine they would find it very funny. Most people don’t get the fact that they need bitches like me to shake up their world, otherwise their lives would be boring and mediocre. I obviously write for the a certain target audience and if what I write offends you, just stop reading.
Although it may sound elitist to you the fact is this country is built on the foundation of haves, have-nots and wannabes. One group will never get the culture of the other. Although I could mention that it is easier to understand someone who has a lower socioeconomic background that would entail a whole other page and frankly I don’t want to be someone to bridge the gap between socioeconomic classes. I leave that to the politicians in my family who believe they can actually help. Now I seriously ask you, am I being a diva or are people around me just lacking in common sense? Perhaps it’s a little of both!
