I laughed so hard, I almost farted
Malu Fernandez who? When People Asia Magazine published an article about her “jet set” rendezvous from Boracay to Greece and lashed brutally on the sad plight of OFW, dang, I was not actually fuming when I read it. I immediately treated her writing, “whatever” if you can call that, something to be trodden with my sand-filled Chuck Taylor Converse worn out shoes. I laughed so hard, I almost farted.
Not because of her pretentious arrogant and superfluous description of her travels, her idea of flamboyance is a perfect picture of how to live a “pitiful” wannabe lifestyle, but her way of exaggerating her ultra luxurious “dull and empty” life really made the whole article weird as if vomit-inducing is not enough to describe it.
Really, is she seriously normal? I mean, how can someone (she claims to rub elbows with legitimate social snobs) like her think of OFW to be 2nd class people? Damn, the audacity to find a close analogy of sardines to OFWs and the bigotry against the cheap colognes that she falsely thought that OFWs wear.
"I have news for you, I bet you all the bucks I earned, OFWs wear the most expensive sprays, moron, from Versace down to Chanel, Gucci and Vera Wang brands."
Nobody in their sound state of mind would even publish anything so insensitive against a group of individuals who have been battered already with indignity and sufferings. I went to look for her name in the net only to find scant info about her and realized that she is not what she wants to project.
I have realized too that when she looked at OFW condescendingly because of the label whipped to our butts brought by her ignorance, she could be suffering from a mental illness that is adversely affecting her normal way of relating herself to elitist society. Then, again, how can she legitimately be one when her “account” of fabulous lifestyle is an utmost idiocy of contradiction? Seriously, no filthy rich woman would even think to fly economy class.
Manila Standard has officially added insult to the injury by initially disowning her then later admitting she writes on Sundays only. Look at how irresponsible our media had become? People Asia Magazine should be held accountable as well for publishing an article that is blatantly poking the already wounded dignity of the OFW.
