making fun of yourself

I find humor to be the best way to relieve tension, especially when about a topic that makes people feel uncomfortable. One of my friends told me that I am now looking like "Bab of Pugad Baboy". Huwhhhaaatttt? hehe. Imagine looking like the character in that comic strip who is obese, lazy and a resident true-blue hippie. But I just laugh this off esp when I realize I now weigh almost 170 lbs from a mere 153 a couple of months ago. Hehe. Yeah, perhaps I now look like Bab (see it for yourself) hehe.
