table manners.

when i eat i want to be left alone.

eating is  a very personal thing and intruding in one's eating routine is crass. pure crass.

that is why when i eat i hate to be bullied to eating this food that i don't want to eat. like pork for example. or beef. or getting an extra serving of everything. I will eat the food that i want to the pace that i am comfortable at. So i wish you'd just stop commenting on how i chew my food very well before i swallow it. so i will also stop commenting on how fat you are and how you'd consumed so much in a blink of my eye.

when i eat, even if we eat together, i'd like you to treat me as a completely different entity and not an extension of you stomach. why does it pleases you so much stuffing me with food? and why does it surprise you when i say i am already full? didn't you ever think my reason for turning down your offer is because i do not want to eat your food?

when i eat i don't want you nagging me to eat some more. or complain to me for the lack of napkin. or for the lack of kalamansi that is already on the bowl to your left, ready to swallow you whole. look for things with your eyes, not with your fucking mouth. why do you always have to do everything with your mouth? are you orally fixated? i'm anal retentive, in case you'd like to know. I don't think we are a good combination.

i don't even nag my husband about eating his eating habits because i don;t want him nagging me about it, too. i don't dump food on his plate, because darling, really, it's bad manners to be dumping food on the plate of somebody who did not ask for it. did you even ask me if i was vegetarian? NO. it's like you just assumed i have a religious devotion because you also have it. all people are not like you. and neither am i.

you know for a fact that making generalized conclusion will lead to a general mistake. unless your study wants to establish conclusions across all culture and ages, but you very well know, too that you can therefore not make specific judgments if you do that. i don't believe in god. i don't to church.i don't believe in marriage and did i ever tell you that? no, because it is rude to talk or ask about somebody's religion, more so, conclude that she is catholic. and knit your eyebrows when she say she isn't.

you're just rude.

please do not make an issue out of leftovers. it's not my fault that i can;t finish what you gave me. I didn't ask for it. you just gave me. you didn't ever hear my NOOOO.
