On Being Tabachoy
It has taken its toll on me yesterday when some ill-mannered kids whom i never knew of teased me with being tabachoy…and believe it or not, it was the first time it happened to me!!! here’s the story:
I was with one of my staff looking for a new apartment to rent where my staff could stay. and so we went to this one compound just walking distance from the fast food where a signage “apartment for rent” was put up. and as we were looking for the land lady…three boisterous kids came up to me and shouting really loudly “TABACHOY, TABACHOY, TABACHOY!!!” and for once in my life, I didn’t know how to react….i was half amused and half hurt, half irritated and half resigned that of course, they were only being honest, kids as they were.
A wake up call, that was what it was. No matter how people tell me that I am pretty, I would always be a fatso. And those kids yelling that mean word struck me like a knife…yeah, I AM FAT!!! As if I needed those kids to realize how ugly and unhealthy it is to be fat. I used to be ms. sporty, ms. pkpk shorts, ms. spaghetti strapped/haltered blouse…But now, there isn’t any trace of that youthful radiance I used to exude back in the not so old days. Honestly, it really felt like light years away when I look at the mirror and tell myself, “Man, you look good!”
And so this morning together with a friend, we decided to take control of how we want to look. So we went to the gym to start the transformation to a new/old me.
It’s just a matter of time before I say goodbye to my xxl blouses and size 33 jeans.
Hopefully this time it works.

We sent Marines into Lebanon and you only have to go to Lebanon, to Syria or to Jordan to witness first-hand the intense hatred among many people for the United States because we bombed and shelled and unmercifully killed totally innocent villagers — women and children and farmers and housewives — in those villages around Beirut. … As a result of that … we became kind of a Satan in the minds of those who are deeply resentful. That is what precipitated the taking of our hostages and that is what has precipitated some of the terrorist attacks.JimmyCarterJimmy Carter, William Blum, American Empire for Dummies, 10/21/02
Hi! good day! i’ve read your blog tabachoy, and I want to suugest to you the food suppresant that I’m taking right now (for a month already). It really works! wow, my mother in law tells me to stop taking it, masyado na daw ako payat tingnan. Well ganun yata tlaga once you become a mother(of three kids!)talagang we will gain weight, just like your own dilemma, I want to see again yung figure ng hindi pa ako mommy. From size 30 now 28 na lang!
It’s BFAD approve, hindi palang ata available jan sa Sorsogon, try mo sa Mercury baka meron sila meds name is-Sibutramin 10mg. 10mg lang muna for starter dose
Hindi pwewde uminum if you have a heart condition, but still you have to consult your physician regarding this, (for side effects).
Kung wala jan sa MDC you may email me back.
kung nagpupunta ka ng manila, better try it,it really works!
This is just a suggestion, I’m not forcing you to take it. The gym thing is good physically,but once you burned those cholesterol in your body (for 1hour) you’re tired and craving for food, but if you will tandem your gym with the SIBUTRIM( w/c is a food supresant) with the litlle food that you eat you already feel full, and in a months time you will look your old self again just like how you imagine it.
God bless!
