I take pride in my “qualified-pride.’

When times were tough, where were they? Thus, whatever ‘achievement’ that come my way, I attribute to God’s provision and myself/my family/my friends.

That is why I am fuming mad when I found out my biological mother asked a favor from them —- tarnishing my track record and vow not to approach for any personal favors.

Tita Madre says not to take the matter too hard as she is not me.However, I can’t completely let go ‘coz I equate me with the rest of “my side” (especially since they weren’t gracious/respectful not just to me but also my family many times in the past).

I take pride in my “qualified-pride”…kasi ayaw ko dumating sa punto na may maisumbat pa sa akin and sa lahat ng ito ako pa papalabasing walang utang na loob.

The Roman Catholic Church lists pride as the most deadly of the seven deadly sins. Sigh, I swear, lalo ako tuloy nagkakasala even though I just wanna defend/armour myself eh.
