faux pas

genrally pronounced like foe-paws

definitions:
according to merriam webster - blunder
according to google - a socially awkward or tactless act
according to wikipedia - is a violation of accepted social rules



in my opinion - it is a blunder; a foot-in-mouth moment; an is-there-a-hole-i-could-crawl-into moment; a moment more awkward than finding your parents kissing..yeah, the list could go on, so i hope you know what i mean.



last saturday (or should i say, sunday morning), peejay and i went to the christening of a friend's baby. so, of course, everybody got tipsy (except me, i drank just a bottle of beer). so, peejay and i dropped off a couple of our friends in their cribs. the second to the last we dropped off was ryan. so, i guess he was just light-headed because of all the booze, but before he closed the car door, he said "cge pee, cge cha!"


of all the ridiculous names he could call me! i was so freaking dumbfounded! i was only able to say to myself, "pati ikaw?". call me the biggest hater, i don't care! of all the names you could call me, why call me that freaking name! i've been called that a couple of times now and up until now it it my most hated name (and person) and nothing is going to top that!

i swear i was so peeved when i heard him say that! but then, all i got to say out loud was "di ka na makakabalik samen!". haha. funny. but i didn't mean it. i'm not mad at him for saying that. i know he was drunk. i don't hate ryan for saying it (i just hate the feeling when i get to be called someone else's name, especially if that someone IS someone i hate). it was a faux-pas moment for him, and that's ok. everybody has it and no one is immune to it.

according to a book i once read (i forgot the title, but it was a novel) "it is a sin to extremely hate someone, because HATE is a sin against God. But i think God may forgive me if i said i utterly and absolutely DISLIKE someone, will He"?

at this point, my dislike to that name is way beyond it's limits. if anyone even dares calling me that name, ever again, well, to hell with faux pas! just go to the corner of your room and screw yourself!
