How you accept a task you don't want to do ('Sige na nga, pikit-mata kong gagawin 'to'). Or how you pay for something expensive you know you shouldn't have bought. It's the gesture of surrendering to fate, to your boss, or to your 'budol' impulses.
Combination of 'pikit' (closed) and 'mata' (eyes).
Can be used literally (doing something with eyes physically closed) or metaphorically (doing something reluctantly or without full consideration).
