Dear Chix,
Does
the mean justify the ends?
I
have been in college longer than I supposed to be. I strongly believe that
education will lift me up from this predicament so nagtitiis ako even if I watched
my batch mates graduate ahead of me.
If
there’s an opportunity I gladly and eagerly grab it. I joined contests in our
school for the prize. Last year, I won Mr. Intramurals and seized the One-year
Scholarship. Just this year, I represented our school in another beauty and
brain contest for the male counterpart and got the title again. Of course, all
these through the help of people who believed in me.
One
of the organizers (who was gay) of the recent event invited me to join a
modeling contest. The gay benefactor promised me that he will take care of
everything, that he will help me in the contest. He even reminded me that one
of the prizes at stake is a four-year scholarship which he assured that it will
be mine. I consulted close friends and some give me the go-signal because the
prize at stake will help me support my studies. And besides, wala namang
mawawala sa akin, lalake naman daw ako. Some advised me not to jump like
hungry wolf to the invitation and not to allow myself fell victim to prey. One
teacher told me that self-respect is still important. Matalino naman daw ako
and a survivor.
I
turned down the invitation. But the organizer told me to call him in case I
needed help. I just smiled because all my life I never dangled on another
person’s help. Tama naman si ma’am, survivor ako, madiskarte.
But
fate was playing joke on me. I was dismissed from my work as a fast food
attendant. And that means I have to stop going to school. I thought it was the
end of it all. Then, I remember the gay benefactor.
I
really want to graduate, find a decent job and make myself a better person. My
intention is noble but I know the ways will not be. Should I call the gay
benefactor?
Desperate

wat the?!! lol.. i knew it! alam mo, tama si Maam @chix chi, matalino ka, gwapo at humble sa pagkakilala ng karamihan.. but that intimidation, haha mag-isip ka! u said ur intention is noble?? let say u do, but ders a lot of titles u do have hanging on ur head then dun ka lang mahuhulog?? daah! isipin mo ung magiging tingin ng mga taong ang tataas ng tingin sayo ui.. for good, wag na! reject to ur mind the offer! matiyaga ka nmang tao eh, kaya alam kong kaya mong mghanap ng ibang mapagkukunan mo ng pangtustus mo, ryt ***?? :)) just continue to be a gud model to d eyes of everybody..
try to verify it... ask about the background of the person and of what that person is offering you... then assess it.. like what your teacher said right?>? madiskarte kanaman.. then PRAY for it ok? if that opportunity is for you then go,, if not surely GOD has prepared something better for you.. so always keep in touch with JESUS,, that's the best thing to do
wow, mahirap nga yan... life is a test and i guess it's doing one on you. maraming nagsasabi na matalino at madiskarte, bakit hindi mo ituloy ang diskarte sa buhay? you have been on your own, supporting yourself, bakit hindi mo ituloy tuloy ng ganun? wag kang sumuko at mapagod, wag din magmadali. stop and think for a while. is it worth to lose your dignity in exchange for a diploma, for a future?
tama naman your friends na don't jump like hungry wolf for that "help" kasi alam na alam mo yung magiging kapalit ng "help" na yun.
do what you think is right. pray.
whatever decision you make, be responsible for it.
Good luck and don't be desperate :D
ey, desperate man, there's no such thing as free lunch, may kapalit yan.. if you're ready to partake the said "free lunch" be ready to take the consequence.
wag lang maging tanga. basta alam mo kung anong pinasok mo, alam mo dapat pano labasan...
love yourself.
