Twas the day of 13th month pay and people at work liked to celebrate that day with a little team feast. This time the whole team wanted a different feast, not that usual pizza, pasta, burgers, donuts, and what not. We decided to prepare pancit canton, malunggay pandesal, eggs, and soft drinks. We had the greatest time eating it but not that I know of. There’s this girl in our team that’s complaining why we had those foods instead of the usual ones. She said “nagmukha tuloy tayong mahirap.”
WTF! If only I can tell her that it’s not about the food it’s the fulfillment of gathering that’s more important. It doesn’t matter how cheap or expensive the meal is, it’s about the people who simply enjoy your company and any food is a blessing no matter what it is.
Let me tell you that it’s not the food that makes you cheap, it’s your mindset. I honestly love poor people’s food (if they want to call that poor people’s food, so be it) like salted egg with tomatoes, sardines, dried fish, eggplant, tofu, and pancit canton. People that know me know how I love those foods and I eat it anytime regardless whether I have money or not and they never tell me that I look poor when consuming those foods. They are even amazed that I eat those kinds of foods. So I know for a fact that having seen in public eating the so-called “poor foods” don’t make me look poor. They make me simple and humble. They make me human and relatable. And in her case she said it made her look poor probably because she really looks poor. So why blame “pancit canton” if you look “dugyot naman talaga, nasisi pa tuloy yung fave ko” since highschool.
Some people are so full of themselves that they can’t accept their reality. This girl is way too “mapagpanggap.” Why can’t you just be real? Our team was laughing at her because she’d been seen eating “pancit canton” almost everyday. Aha, so maybe she’s just too “umay” about it, the same thing the others feel towards the usual food she’s requesting to have for the team lunch. If you are a really rich girl you should be “umay” with pizza, pasta, burgers, donuts, and whatnots. Stop pretending na kasi haha. Tara kain na lang tayo ng “pancit canton” ulit. Mic drop.
