Pangit Ba Ako? Bakit ‘Di Ako Crush ng Crush Ko?

Yung totoo? Pangit ba ako? Bakit ‘di ako crush ng crush ko?”

‘Yan ang madalas na tanong ng karamihan ng mga single sa akin, mapababae man o lalaki. Tuwing tinatanong ako, nahihirapan akong sumagot. Para akong nasa hot seat. I feel it’s a trap.

Kasi kapag sumagot ako ng, “Hindi ka pangit,” titingnan ako ng kausap ko nang may pagdududa at sabay sasabihin, “Hmp! Sinasabi mo lang yata ‘yan para huwag akong masaktan!” O kaya, “Nagsisinungaling ka!” at, “Binobola mo lang yata ako!”

Kapag sinabi ko namang, “Oo!” I can immediately see the sudden change in their facial expression. Sa isang iglap, yung ngiting pang-beauty queen ay biglang nagiging lukot na champoy!

All the confidence and joy on their faces are washed away by a resounding confirmation that they are indeed ugly. Thus, they feel they are unlovable and not good enough para magkagusto ang mga crush nila sa kanila.

Sabay sasabihin na, “Sabi ko na nga ba eh, tama nga ako. Pangit nga talaga ako!” Tapos maglilitanya na siya ng lahat ng kanyang insecurities sa buhay.

Patay na! Nag-self-pity na!

Ang ending, ako pa ang masama. Ako pa ang nakasakit. Ako pa ang mapanghusga. Ako pa ang may kasalanan. Ano lang ba ang ginawa ko? Sila naman ang nagpumilit sa akin na sagutin ang tanong na, “Pangit ba ako?”

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Oo man o hindi, my answer will never satisfy them. Kasi, bago pa man nila ako tanungin, sinagot na nila ang tanong nila. And sadly, buong buhay na silang maniniwala na pangit sila.

‘Yun nga ba ang totoo? Kaya ka nga ba walang boyfriend o girlfriend ay dahil pangit ka?

Let me answer that with the truth.

Ang totoo: Hindi ka pangit!

Dahil walang ginawang pangit ang Diyos. In fact, sobrang ganda mo because you are made in the image and likeness of God. Ikaw, ako, tayong lahat. Tao ang pinakamagandang hayop sa balat ng lumpia, este, lupa pala!

If you will look closely at how you are made, you will see the brilliance of your Creator. Look at the symmetry and balance that are present in your body. Look at how your organs are positioned in their proper places.

If our body was a machine, it will be the ultimate well-oiled machine. Add to that our capacity to think, create, feel, and love. You can’t help but be amazed at the beauty that is in you.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are beautiful. You are amazing. You are awesome!

Ikaw? Naitanong mo na ba sa sarili mo, “Pangit ba ako?”

Ano ang sagot mo?

Let us settle this once and for all: Bakit ‘di ka crush ng crush mo? Hindi ‘yun dahil pangit ka.

Paulit-ulit ba? Ganoon talaga! Ilang taon mo ring pinaniwalaan ang kasinungalingan na pangit ka, wala kang kwenta, at ‘di ka karapat-dapat mahalin.

Ulit-ulitin din natin ang katotohanang you are beautiful! You are made in the image of God.

Hindi ka pangit!
