Council of Elders, matatanda, mga panganay.

Sa lahat nang structures ng lipunan, ang panganay ang pinakakawawa, pero pinaka successful sa anumang larangan (naks… larangan!!) na gustuhin niya. Ewan ko kung totoo, kasi erpats ko panganay eh, pero mahirap kami?! LOLS. by the way, enumerate na lang naten kung ano ang advantage at disadvantage ng pagiging panganay, whether panganay ka sa father’s side, mother’s side, sa pamilya lang, or all of the above.

• The mister and miss know all

Syempre, pag nasa puberty stage o young adult ka na, lahat ng problema, sayo na sasabihin. Either they just want to say it or naghahanap sila ng solusyon sa problema nila.

Advantage: Masaya to…

Disadvantage: Sa umpisa. Natural, proud ka kasi sinasabi nila yung mga problema nila sayo. Parang may sense of trust na binigay sayo and at the same time, bigger responsibilities. Akala mo madali? You must know how to deal with them, and sometimes, sacrificing your own happiness para lang sa kanila.

• Minamadali ka lumake

Basta nakakalakad ka na, pustahan ginagawa ka ng abay sa kasal? O kaya naman, nung bata ka, when you learn to say”aahh, aaahhh”, pinipilit ka nang magsalita ng “Mama”.

Advantage: Mabilis mong matutunan yung mga bagay bagay ng mas malalim; lagi kang nakikipag interact sa mga ‘adult’ and of course, lahat ng attention, nasa sayo.

Disadvantage: Dahil all eyes for you, expect na madaming ‘bawal’ sayo (eg. bawal maglaro, madudumihan, bawal umakyat, mahuhulog, blah blah blah). Hanggang sa pagtanda mo, kailangan, ikaw ang ‘huwaran’ sa magkakapatid. Konting mali mo lang, laging nakahanda na ang armalite bunganga nila.

• At dahil matanda ka na… mag aalaga ka na ng kapatid mo

Advantage: ewan

Dis advantage:hayyy kailangan pa ba i-state lahat lahat? Kung bourgeois ka, better find it yourself. kung nasa middle class ka naman pababa, alam mo na yan.

• Lab rat

Experimental baby for short. (quoting, friend ni akda). Lahat ng alam nilang pwede at hindi pwede, at kahit pamahiin, sinusunod nila.

Advantage: uhmmm…pass.

Disadvantage: Walang hindi pwede na pwede (huh?? anudaw??) mas maraming hindi pwede na pwede naman.

UPDATED:

hehehe nakita ko na yung kpya ko..kulang pa pala…hehehe

• Ilang dosage ng  pagpapasensya ang nainom mo nung sanggol ka palang

Hinaluan ang gatas mo ng patience. Ayaw mo maniwala? Sige sample: “Pagpasensiyahan mo na ang kapatid mo, mas bata yan sayo..ikaw na ang umintindi.”

Advantage: benefits to dahil natutunan mo kagad sa bahay kung pano magpasensiya. Nakakatulong to sa trabaho, pag aaral at sa pakikipag salamuha sa ibang tao. Dahil natutunan mo na to ng maaga, hindi mo na rin problema sayo ang maghintay ng matagal at magsikap para dun sa goal na gusto mong abutin. Mas mataas ang pang unawa mo kesa sa iba, dahil natutunan mo pa nga lang to nung bata ka pa.

Disadvantage: Syempre, kung inborn talent mo na ang pagiging mainitin ang ulo; eh mahirap talaga magpigil. Lagi na lang maririnig sayo na “eh ano kung matanda? eh siya naman ang mali eh.”… ipipilit mo na tama ka, kaya hayan, magugulo na naman ang tahimik na kapitbahay.

• Bossy

“HOY..LIGPIT MO NGA yang laruan mo..nakakalat!”

“ASAN na ang brush ko!! hanapin nyo ngaaa!!!”

“pakihugas naman ng plato oh!”

“pakigawa naman ng assignment ko, may ginagawa ako eh.”

at kung ano ano pa. Saya noh? Natural, ikaw ang panganay, ikaw din ang boss. Lahat dapat sumunod, dahil ikaw ang panganay. At dahil magaling ka, ayan ang reward sayo.

Advantage: Minsan sa isang linggo na nagbubuhay hari/reyna ka.

Disadvantage: Marami kang katulad paglabas ng bahay. Kung hindi ka matututong magpakababa eh mabuti nang magpakamatay ka na lang. Mahihirapan kang makipag kapwa-hayop sa iba’t ibang klaseng tao. Akala mo ba, ikaw lang ang panganay sa mundo?? hindi noh?!! Lalo kang mahihirapan sa pakikipag relasyon kung laging ikaw na lang ang masusunod. Pasalamat ka, talent na nating umintindi para ibigay naman sa iba ang ’spotlight’ na laging nakatutok saten pag nasa bahay tayo.

At dahil excited nga sila Mommy at Daddy sa bagong baby, di na rin yun maaalis. Sa katunayan nga, sa aten sila umaasa at mas malaki ang expectations sa ating mga panganay. Karamihan sa mga panganay na nakilala ko ( o eto, base lang sa experience ah? hindi general) eh gago, epal, at naghahanap ng freedom. At dahil sila ang mas nakakaranas ng hirap, WE are MOST LIKELY to succeed.

Ok, Ok, AKDA, TERRI, DAVE AND BUFF SOULJA…

Mabuhay tayo!!!

Hello friends. My friend, Pam Pascua, age 16, is suffering from cancer of the muscle. Since she entered the Music Department of St. Scho as a voice major last June (and had to eventually leave for treatment), she has undergone more than 5 cycles of chemo AND had her right leg amputated. Treatment is ongoing.

We all know the financial, not to mention emotional, burden cancer imposes on the patient and family. But just to give you an idea, ONE injection for Pam costs 5,000 pesos. And she needs EIGHT injections periodically. That’s 40,000! Not to mention the cost of chemo treatments, doctor’s fees and her stay at PGH.

God knows and we all know that cancer is no joke. Cancer is something that needs to be treated and treated NOW. How can you help her?

Whatever amount one generously gives in the service of another, in the eyes of God, that amount becomes PRICELESS. Please, let’s combine our blessings for Pam! Hearing her sing freely again truly is a priceless blessing. Thank you. God bless you all.
