I’ve Got 20 Bad Manners, Unbelievable but it’s True.
There are many bad manners that have been my habit when I was little up ‘til now. As far as I remember the first reason that I have in my mind right now is that, sometimes, I don’t ask excuses from two people who are having conversations. I usually touch them at their back in order to grab attention. Second, if I interrupted them, I never say ‘Sorry’. Maybe, because, I am in the process of self-humiliation. I just keep my mouth shut before I can talk to the person. Third, I am not that kind of a listener. For the simple reasons like I can’t figure out what they are saying to me or I am not in the mood of listening to their adventures, misfortunes, and the like. Fourth, I compete with what had others accomplished. If they would talk with their own accomplishment in life then I should also have my greatest accomplishments in life. I think the term that suits with this description is self-centered or ego-centered person. Fifth, I complain easily. Sixth, I am not hospitable to my relatives whenever they go to our house. I am not so close with my relatives both from the two sides. I usually do not entertain them. If they are in our house, I do the house chores to occupy the time. I give them food but never really talk to them that much. Another moment that I do is that I go to my room and sleep. I let my parents and my other siblings to entertain them. Seventh, my laziness comes once in a blue moon. If I feel that I’ve worked too hard for something, I try to rest and postpone all the activities that wait for me. For example, in the school, my classmates knew that I handle a club and all the activities along its way. When people pressure me to bring forth such activities like meeting, deadlines, or activities, I just stop and think that there will be another day. And let that activities be accomplished the other day. Eight, I am a latecomer in meetings or group meetings. When the group agrees that we are going to meet on Saturday or Sundays at exactly 9:00 in the morning, I always come 30 minutes to 1 hour late. I tried to change the habit yet I can’t. The reason for that I suppose is that I am lazy waking up early. Before I go to school, my mother always remind me that I should clean the house so that my obligation during those weekends and even in weekdays will be done. I had sad experiences. Whenever my mother sees that the house is not clean, she makes her ‘litanya’ against me. When I didn’t clean the house and that I only enjoy my gimmick every time I went to school. So to avoid the harsh words she says to me, I clean the house before I go to school. Ninth, I am physical with friends. I noticed that I, sometimes, tap their shoulders with force. Luckily, they never complain or fight with me because they sometimes do that to me. Revenge is sweet. (Laughing Out Loud). Tenth, I am selective or I never mind in helping others. I don’t help mediocre persons either those talented ones. I am a self-supporting student. I support myself very much, sometimes, you can call it ‘makasarili’ but I do not care. Eleventh, I think I can be narcissist, sometimes. I can’t stop staring myself in the mirror. For me, I am the star in my world. I never gave a damn recognition with others because they have their own mirrors. They can be the stars of their each world if they wish, too. Twelfth, I always think of negative things upon doing any activities for a group or for myself, especially, if I lead some bunch of lazy teammates but not all. This had happen during our Summer Production Workshop. I was doubtful with the result because it was made out of discussions and negative forces by the different characters of our group. Thirteenth, I am a self-confess gossiper. I love gossips. (Laughing Out Loud). I think everyone in the class loves gossip. Fourteenth, I, with my friends, make negative comments of people passing in our way or just people we remember. Meron naman talagang mapupuna sa kanila so let it be. Malay ko na pinupuna rin ako nila. Quits na ‘yun. I know that what I do is bad but I just can resist the evil side of myself. Fifteenth, whenever I have personal problems or school problems, I am carried with my emotions up to the point that nadadamay na ang mga friends and classmates ko. I think of them as the reasons for my misery. Sixteenth, I remain grudges towards my mortal enemies. I condemned them for causing me so much emotional and mental pain. Seventeenth spot is that I am easily tormented by the situations I am into. I easily give up but I can also recovered easily. Eighteenth, I pressure others but I don’t want to pressure myself. Nineteenth, I wear fake smile to persons that I think too arrogant. This had happened many times with some officers I knew in other clubs of the school. Siguro na rin sa approach or dating nila for me that’s why smile lang kahit di naman totoo. Twenty, I am a snobbish person. I make snob to persons that I do not know. However, I also snob those people I knew because I just want to.
So far I’ve had twenty on my list. It’s hard to recall all the bad manners I have. I am running out of bad manners. (Laughing Out Loud).
