Be judgmental

Judging and being judgmental towards an individual is not really the gravest of sins. I agree that it is bad, and I acknowledge its viciousness, but it's nothing to be ashamed about. 

Kung ang sigaw ng Eat Bulaga sa kanilang segment ay, "Bawal ang judgmental!" Para sa akin naman ay, "Ayos lang, basta't nasa lugar."

Hindi naman palaging mali ang pagiging judgmental. There will be times that you'll certainly become one— based on experience.

Judgmental ako.

Lahat naman tayo. Given that judging others is not the most attractive quality, yet it's still there. Kung baga ay nature na ng mga tao, o ng mga Pilipino 'yan. However, just be careful on how far you will go when it comes to being judgmental.

Doon na papasok ang healthy judgment.

Gaya nga ng sabi ko kanina, judgmental ako. May mga pagkakataong hindi mapigilan ng utak ko pati na ng bunganga ko iyon. Ngunit 'yan ang mali.

Ang sinasabi kong healthy judgment, ay iyon 'yung dahil mayroon kang healthy reason.

May ibabahagi ako sa inyong mga karanasan. Dahil estudyante pa lamang ako, malamang ay pumapasok ako sa eskuwelahan. 

At dahil wala naman akong kasabay pumasok sa paaralan at nag-co-commute lamang ako sa tuwing papasok, dito ako nagiging sobrang mapanghusgang tao.

Alam niyo 'yon? Late na nga ako kung magising, ang bagal bagal ko na ngang kumilos, tapos kapag mag-aabang pa ako ng masasakyang tricycle, e, napakaarte ko pang mamili. Ang resulta? Palaging late ang inyong lingkod! 

Pwera nalang tuwing Lunes. Hindi mo gugustuhing ma-late dahil nakakatakot ang guro namin tuwing first period.

Back to the topic, I'm such a picky passenger, and very selective in choosing the vehicle that I'm going to ride since I decide based on the driver's facade.

I am an advocate of disdaining stereotypes, anyhow, when it comes to that particular circumstance, I do rely upon

stereotypes. 

"Ay, binatilyo ang driver. Mabilis magpatakbo 'yan. Ayaw ko pang mamatay."

"Naku, ang pula ng mata. Baka adik. Ayaw kong madala kung saan."

Those are just some of the countless lines I mentally utter everytime I anticipate a ride that will bring me to school.

Alam kong napakasama ko doon at talagang napapabulong nalang ako ng, "Sorry, Lord." sa tuwing may mga tao akong pinagiisipan ng masama. Por que ba binatilyo, e, ganoon agad? Wala naman sa edad ang pag ragasa ng tricycle, nasa nagmamaneho naman 'yon. Por que ba pula ang mata, e, adik na agad? Malay mo, puyat siya sa pagkayod at pagtatrabaho para may makain ang pamilya niya. 

Pero ganoon talaga. I do it for my safety. I do it to protect myself from any harm. I am a girl, and girls are prone to danger, no matter how firm we defend the idea that men and women are equal, if it's about the power and strength, it's frankly not. Plus I am alone, and that's the only thing I could do to secure myself.

That's one. I judge for a reason.

Judgment is not bad at all. I mean, it is, but not entirely and not always. 

And being judgmental is in our nature, be it good or bad. But considering it accountable depends on how you do it. 

Furthermore, it is bad to hold on to those judgments.

I remembered what my teacher before said, “If I hold onto something you did years ago and judge you for it today, disregarding your growth in all this time, then it shows poorly on me and can only lead to my own loss.”

I also want to clear things out since there's been an issue about the Youtube Vlogger named Buknoy who belittled tricycle drivers. 

Walang antas na maituturing sa trabaho ng lahat ng tao. Being a tricycle driver is a noble work, may it be a garbage collector or even a sanitation engineer, as long as you're doing it correctly, then you're doing a great job.

There's no glory in perceiving yourself as a person who's above others just because you consider those people lower than you. 

To the "popular" and "majestic" vlogger, Buknoy, study hard.

And to you, who's reading this, be judgmental but fathom your limitations.
