Duff

This post is inspired by the book The Duff by Kody Keplinger.



I should've been happy but really I'm in a situation right now that makes me a little bit sad.

All my besftriends are currently in a relationship. That makes me happy for them, knowing that they are in a romance with someone else.

What makes me sad is the fact that I'm being left out.

They have other plans and their priorities have changed.

I wonder, bakit ako walang jowa?

Which drives me into a sad conclusion.

In our group, I think I may be the duff.

Short for:

Designated Ugly Fat Friend.

Of course, I wouldn't consider myself ugly because my mother still thinks I'm the prettiest one in the family.

With regards to being fat, perhaps this one is true because I'm already wearing plus-sized clothing. My being a little bit overweight though is not yet considered grossly obese, enough to be considered on the next season of The Biggest Loser.



Anyway, this sad fact will not kill my confidence.

I will still continue to be myself and everybody should accept me for who I am.

Who knows, my being duff is just a phase.
