~Battered

Last night my friend confided to me and our other friends a secret she has been keeping for a long time. She started with a smile. Then the story goes. She told us that the bruises she had before were not from where we thought she got them. All along we thought that it was her clumsiness, so she says, but it was really her gigantic boyfriend. She did not tell us what really was happening since she doesn’t want to ruin the friendship between her boyfriend and her friends. I won’t tell the details anymore since it’s really private. Again, she ended the story with a smile and said “buti na lang wala na kami.” Then it hit us. What a jackass shit that guy is! The hitting started last year and she was able to take that kind of pain for months. GOD!

It’s just so weird how people accept and accept all these things. LOVE perhaps? I think not! Actually it really depends on the person.

For some people, I guess love can be the reason but not love alone, they are dependent on they partner that they don’t care what their partners do to them as long as they’re together! Actually there’s one word that can describe those kinds of people! “TANGA.”
For some, they do it for money. Yes MONEY! They can take kind of beating for a price. As long as they are given comfortable lives, nice house, shopping money etc., by the one beating them. I think they somehow accept this since life today is hard. Today, earning money will tire and exhaust you down. And what do you get for a long days work? A little more or less than 300 pesos.
Last reason I can think of is the most pathetic. Some people accept this beating as long as they have a boyfriend. she won’t care even if her body’s hurting the whole day or her nose bleeding or whatever as long as she has a boyfriend

I know that there a more reasons other than these. I think that women should respect themselves. They should think not for the sake of anyone else but of their own.
