Backing Out? Be a Bum? Don’t!!!

Friday, April 11th, 2008 at 11:06 pm

Everybody is having problems with their life. Who doesn’t? I do not exclude myself to that fact. I always have problems. I grew up from it. I learn to live with it :I-dunno:

This past few weeks, I offered myself to help out some friends in improving something for themselves. I was willing to support financially in an organization’s fund raising stuffs. Honestly, many in our group are just bums. No work or school, basically financial status aren’t even stable. I was one of them, but today, I have a stable job you may call it. I must really be an abnormal person. Because if I am normal, I may be still like them, a bummer who have no directions in life, a bummer who have no dream, a bummer who continues to cling on their parents. I wished I am still a bummer. Living simple, thinking simple, problems are simple.

I am a bummer before. But I have dreams. I am to lazy at home, but I worked hard for other people. And even if I am still going for my goals, I would love to help fellow bummers to choose their path. Unfortunately, I am not in the position to do that. I must continue working myself up. Be more focus!! Check your improvements!!

As I tried to help out fellow bummers, it is too obvious that they don’t want to help themselves. There is nothing I could do to change that. I must know because I was in their shoes. Must not feel guilty that you are going up, while they still go down. They are not the only people in this word. We must be inspired accordingly, not be over friendly.

We tried to have a personal fund raising by selling the Philippine famous Halo-Halo. I shall take care of the initial funds needed, and all they have to do is sell it. They were all excited and believed that it will work out. So we give it a shot. On the day of the preparation, I actually did all the work. And on the day of the selling, they did not come. I don’t know what the hell was the problem, but I gave my money in already. So I was forced to sell it, and did not sleep for days because I have to go to work at night. In the three days run, I still wasn’t able to completely get my money back, but have proven that I must not help those who don’t want to help themselves.

So I’ll just go support the actual fund raising (I am willing to sell my new phone anyway) instead of supporting those who does not have the desire for improvement. Giving options is all I can do for now. Let them work for it. They’ll do what they want, not what you think. Just mind your own business. And think of your own money problems.

It is indeed in reality that “Crab Mentality” are still clinging into most of us Filipinoes. That is one reason we always back out on what we have started. Just because we fell down doesn’t mean we have to listen to other people mocking us. We have to identify the lost #-o No!!! That is not how it works!!! We have to always check our improvements. Stand up again. Learn from mistakes. Never give up and still live everything joyfully!!!

    Haha. It is my dream to be a model. And even though I am still far from it. I have atleast moved a step forward. :)


  3. I’ve never been a “bummer” as you call it, but I feel like the longer I stay in school, the lazier I become. I thought knowledge was supposed to make us MORE curious! Where has all my ambition for life gone then??


  4. ano gna ba ang bummer?! :huh: wahhaa jokes. well tama ka. pero hindi yun abnormal no! oo, tama ka talaga! crab mentality.. hazuh!


  5. “I am to lazy at home, but I worked hard for other people.” - akala ko ako lang ang ganyan, :)) Minsan, kapag walang reward nakakatamad gawin yung work, di ba?

    Wow, so my business kayo ngayong hal0-halo? Yun din ang plan ng friend ko para may income man lang this vacation.

    Crab Mentality, kahit sa work place ko lageng may ganyan. Instead na tulungan ka, iiwanan ka pa. Good thing na ang mga friends ko at work ay hindi ganyan.
