"We want a world where inequality based on class, gender and race is absent from every country and from the relationships among countries; where basic needs become basic rights and where poverty and all forms of violence are eliminated...." - excerpted from DAWN's (Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era) vision statement "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." - Dr. Seuss

Thank you, Lizzie! I love writing in my blog - and I write only when something really stirs me. I'm always so happy to hear that it brings people joy - sana enlightenment rin. Take care. ;-> |

hi Ms. Natsy! i've been meaning to go back to your blogs. the first time i looked for your site kasi i just browsed through the pictures and blog titles. sabi ko babalikan ko pagnakaluwag luwag. interesting eh!
ayun, halong iyak at tawa tuloy ako sa mga entries mo. thank you for sharing them online!
ps, natuwa ako sa ibang entries mo na may mga teorya ng peminismo. para na rin akong ngreview ng WD201! hurray! haha...
see you! |
 |
sinupress ko nga kasi nalito ako that time. parang di ito itinuro sa akin ah. ahahahha. |
|
Funny talaga yung blog entry mo.;-> Napa-isip ako, ha ha ha! |
|
kakatawa ang analogy sa orgasm. |

parang masarap gumawa ng program for reclaiming the self-esteem.
napansin ko kasi as a nation, one of the issues of the young and old alike is the damage self-concept and the perpetual nosedive of self-esteem.
Simply because, the media give us the reason why we should not accept ourselves, except perhaps, Oprah. while book authors try to teach us how to heal this. But not all can buy these expensive books.
The TV, meanwhile is accessible to everyone. And much of the advertisements and storyline delve on discrimination against individual looks. |
|
I wish I could teach every single child in the country that self-esteem should be pegged on ability, not appearance, so they will work harder on things that do matter. |
|
Good morning Natsy! It's sad cause more and more children preschoolers and graders alike are torn between what's 'right' and 'trendy'. .
At such a young age, they are already agonizing over 'weight' and 'dark skin' issues.
What is more difficult is that it's not easy to make them change their minds. |

genspec wrote on Jul 4, edited on Jul 4 Hi Melba! Ganyan ang itsura ko kung napanganak ako na kayumanggi, like my daughter. Alam mo, while I try my best to make her understand that one's color (as well as one's gender, race, class...you know the drill na) is irrelevant, I know she still struggles with it sometimes (and it doesn't help that her own mother is fair-colored). Kasi nga we have been, and are still being, conditioned that white is best.
Pero ang best talaga ay to live up to our potential, and to help others live up to theirs (and here we refer to ability ha, not appearance). |

She is from manila but I believe she is currently based in Silliman doing women stuff. |
|
Hehehe. yes. i met her here during the international women leaders' conference last november. magaling ding sumayaw at kumanta. Teatrong teatro ang timpla. mabait din. pero mukhang mas matangkad ka yata. you looked tall in the photos kasi. |
|
I googled pa who she is. Kawomenan din pala, mula sa teatro. ;->
|
|
you remind me po pala of Dessa Quesada-Parns. I guess sa built niyo po yata. |
|
hehehe. salamat sister, at last my soro na ako kahit dito man lang sa multiply. |
|
ay ganun ba? ok. do take care always. |
|
Hi Melba! My dsl is still not working kasi - it's been broken since Sunday. I'm using the computer in the gym right now, di naman puede magbabad dito. Take care, Melba! ;-> |
|
Hello Nats, miss reading your insights. Have a good day. |
 |
salamat. salamat sa pag-add sa akin. ayus ang welcome statement, klasmeyt tayo sa mga visions na ganyan. |

genspec wrote on Jun 19, edited on Jun 20 That was written by Third World feminists - and sums it all up simply and neatly, doesn't it? Although kung susuriin, from an international political economy perspective, malalim yan. |
