ang babaeng nangarap ng gising, ang babaeng namumuhay ng mag-isa

i learn a lot in literature, promise! like what we discussed a while ago in sir ferdie's class. ang babaeng nangangarap ng gising by rio alma talked about why women day dream and how, again, stupid men are. i learned a lot today like, the three parts of the human mind by freud . first the conscious, the pre-conscious (i think) and the unconscious. the conscious mind dictates oneself what norm we should follow, what we should say and not say, what we should think and not think about and anything that we surpress goes down to the third part of the mind, the unconscious. these surpressed emotions, actions and words come out when we dream. those things that were forbidden to us are tangible in our dream, we dream as a form of escape, an escape from the painful reality. that's why we day dream. we dream of something that we wish to have but cannot, or just continue wishing on something that's taking way too long to come to us. that shit thing called true love, maybe. because we ladies are always confined to/with waiting! we women are other-centered that we would just have to wait for what's left for us, wait for him to come by, wait for him to realize his mistakes, wait for his move, wait, wait, wait!

next.

ang babaeng namumuhay nng mag-isa by joy c. barrios, it was all about how women/ female are just wo's and fe's without men/ male. that women are incomplete without men. that women are just mere objects, sexual objects, properties to be used and abused. and it was also about being sngle, beiong alone, that in this society being single is a curse and society has it's own haunting way to punish the single. this is how our culture wounds women who takes over their body their life, those who were brave enough to decide for herself despite the patriarchal environment we live in.

haay.. i love our lesson today. i can so very relate to it. men talaga tanga!

and angge shared what she learned in lit today, from i forgot the name of their prof, that one should never listen to other people because they will destroy the real you. do not take in anything that they say bad about you, so what? that's you and you alone.. changing your authentic you will change you and will be called the bad you. the one who conceals herslef with pretentious masks.
