These are the actual Facebook screenshots of the infamous "Tracy Borres Notes" (or blog) going around the net for a month now. It became so popular these past few days (at least in my world) that I simply had to blog about it (for record keeping purposes)(I like to keep records of things). Its popularity increased because of all the provoking statements she had concerning (or lack thereof) the Aetas during her immersion affecting readers, readers who care in particular (not everyone pays any attention to any of these things. people like her).
Who is Tracy Isabel Borres? She's a 4th year AB Psychology student from Ateneo de Manila University. That's all I know. Hey, I'm not a stalker, though I do have some stalking tendencies. You may see more of her here.
The first picture is a link to her Facebook profile. The image sequence goes from top, left to right, to bottom, left to right.
Photos (except the first) courtesy of ocknarf with some photoshop work to make it more organized.
If you don't like reading one image after the other, you may read through the scrollbox below. Enjoy! (or not).
Now for my thoughts...
Wala ehh. Wala na akong masabi. Blog niya yan ehh. Pakialam ko ba sa blog niya. (but in all seriousness, sobrang naiinis ako dito) Kung gusto ko mag-rant, gagawa rin ako ng sarili kong blog with all my complaints in it. At mag-re-react ang buong mundo because of all the insensitivity and rude choice of words. Pero wala pa akong topic. And besides, since sa Facebook yan pinublish, malamang 'for her friends only' lang yan. Friends who would understand her no matter how harsh or insesnsitive her words may be. Ehh biglang may friend na hindi nagustuhan ang tabas ng dila niya, at apparently hindi siya naintindihan, sineryoso masyado yung mga sinabi niya, parang yung mga nag-co-comment sa blog ni cofibean, at ikinalat ang blog entry sa iba pa niyang friends. BOOM!!!
Internet explosion. Umikot na sa blogosphere. Kumalat na sa email at marami na nag-react. Parang yung "The Talented Mr. Montano" na scandal. Ano ba!!! Bat ba pinapatulan pa? Isn't it obvious enough that she's a brat? (that was harsh) She was raised differently. And duhh! Like as if hindi kayo nagkukwento to your friends about the most horrible things that happened during an unusual experience.
For example (example lang ha, wag magulo): You and your family visited your relatives in the province and they aren't the most well off people in your clan. Then you came back and told your friends.
My creative juices aren't flowing right now. I wasn't born to be a creative writer anyway but you get the point. People do that all the time (the panglalait part) and they don't even notice. People make fun of other people's misfortune but they don't do it in public. It's a way of life. A bad way I know but it's inevitable. When you're fully stressed out, everything around you is ugly, everything is miserable, take my "Tanginang Morning" blog for example, I'm the center of the universe, everyone else is crap.
All of these written, I just wanna say na hindi ko siya ipinagtatanggol. What she did was wrong, but people who react so badly aren't any better. If any, they're just being pathetic as always.
After all of the buzz around the net regarding her note, she wrote a response to a guy named Mike Abundo, a blogger who started it all (I think? He has all the information about her). This is her response.

Did she have a point?
YES.
Do I believe her?
NO.
Why?
I have trust issues. What's it to you
Now it's your turn.
