Litratong Pinoy: bag

Hindi ko namalayan, Huwebes na pala. Hindi ko napaghandaan ang tema ngayong linggo, mabuti na lang marami akong bag samples dito sa opisina. Ang mga bags na ito ay gawa sa mga lokal na materyales katulad ng pandan, raffia at butones na gawa sa bao ng niyog. Sa lahat ng aksesorya sa kasuotan ng isang babae, ang bag yata ang pinakamahalaga. Maraming babae ang naniniwala na nakatago ang buong buhay nila sa loob ng kanilang bag---pera, date book, lipstick, make-up, pulbo, pabango, mga susi, telepono, suklay, mga litrato. Parang hindi kumpleto ang bihis ng isang babae kapag wala s'yang bag.

I didn't notice the days, it's already Thursday! I was not ready for this week's theme, but it was my good fortune that I have samples of bags in the office. These bags are made from local materials like palm leaves, raffia, and coconut shell buttons. Hands down, the absolute essential accessory of a woman is a bag. Many women feel that they keep their whole life in their bag---their money, their date book, lipstick, make-up, compact, perfume, keys, cel phone, hair brush, photographs. A woman's get-up is not complete without her bag.
