Plastic No More

If you are in the Philippines, and you hear people calling you "plastic". Bear in mind that it doesn't meant to complement your "break-resistant" body or talks about how "indispensable" you are in the team or how "shiny" your hair looks. "Plastic", my friend is actually a slang word for "fake" and "backstabber". So if someone calls you that, just go and punch him in the face ---->Just kidding! a confrontation would usually work with these people. Just make sure you have a witness when the confrontation happens (too bad for you if the witness is also "plastic". lol) :p

Anyway, just to be clear, this post is not about the many "plastic" people that lurks around in the dark and sneaks at your back then pretends to be your friend by constantly smiling at you or sometimes even giving you an occasional hug or worst a "Judas" kiss; or from time to time will engage you with small talks waiting for you to say something wrong or personal so he/she can broadcast it to the whole world. The plastic that I'm gonna talk about is the molecular structure that was invented in 1868 by a young  painter John Wesley who mixed pyroxylin and nitric acid with camphor (whatever that is). The plastic that changed the whole world and can be seen in almost anything that we possess and use.
