My random thoughts..

I hate the word “lang.”  I often hear it when people say “housewife lang ako,”  “sa bahay lang ako,”  “ganito lang trabaho ko,” “eto lang alam ko,”  “high school graduate lang ako”…you know, we use it & hear it many times.

There’s nothing wrong with being a housewife or stay at home mom.  Raising a healthy, strong, independent child who’ll contribute to society is no mean feat.  Parenthood is not something to be trivialized.

There’s nothing wrong either with whatever your job is, as long as it’s a decent, legal way to earn a living.  Every job serves a purpose & contributes to the whole.  And anyone can always work their way up if they want to.

There’s nothing wrong if you’re a high school graduate or a college undergraduate.  If you really want to go back to school, do it.  But do it only because you really want to & because you’re working towards a long-term goal.  If you’re only after the diploma, well, education doesn’t stop when you get that piece of paper.  It’s a lifelong process. 

There’s nothing wrong too if what you know is limited at this point in time.  That’s why we’re here - life is all about learning.  As long as you have an open mind & are willing to learn, you’ll continue to evolve into a better, wiser, more learned person.

So please, let’s all eliminate the word “lang” from our vocabulary.  It doesn’t do us any good & doesn’t serve any purpose.
