I really don’t know if it’s right for me to share this, but
I just want to let this out off my chest. I haven’t shared with everyone that I
was involved in a scam on late 2012. I trusted my friend, and invested into a
mini business of selling mobile phones in cheaper prices, and was able to
convince some of my friends and relatives to invest (or yes, to buy) units from
me. That mini business, is so far, the most stupid thing I have ever decided to
do. I did not think, well obviously. I became so excited with the profit that I
forgot that there is no easy money. Well, I always say this as my reason.. I
TRUSTED A FRIEND, IT’S NOT MY FAULT, but deep down in me, I know it’s my fault.
Why didn’t I think twice? Why was I so selfish? I blame myself, until now, for
dragging my close friends and relatives in this bull crap! I still cannot move
on from that tragedy.
It’s almost 9 months. Imagine the burden of bringing the
same bull crap everyday of your life, for the past 9 months. It became heavier
as the anger of the people involved is uncontrollable. That feeling of
apologizing every single time they ask for a refund, is just so sad. I wanted
to give them their money back, but how? I don’t have an income, for I am a
student. I tried looking for a job, but I cannot find one. I feel sorry for my
family for carrying this burden with me. Yes, and it hurts so much that I can
sense people thinking that what happened is nothing to me. Well, I’ve been juggling
with school, and all --with this bull crap in my system. It’s not easy, never
was, and never will be. I’ve been searching for solutions, but it’s not that
easy, I repeat, never easy.. The hardest part is, people want me to rely on my family.
Well, of course I’ve been asking them for help, but they just cannot shoulder a
million bucks, for we are not rich –and I repeat--- WE ARE NOT RICH! People
always tell me that we’re rich, and blahblahblah. What’s your basis, guys? The
way we carry ourselvesf? Haay. Well, think again..
So why did I share this.. It’s because I had a very serious
talk with someone regarding the status of our family. I don’t know, but the bottom line is that..
We have this habit of entrusting our fortune to the wrong people. I just don’t want
to give out details, for I’m really not that aware of what happened. You see, as I have observed, the Nazareths are not into jobs, and being employees, they're into investing, business and stuff.. So yea... It’s just
so sad seeing my grammy so problematic, and I cannot do anything to help her.
Worse, I brought her additional problem. What’s with late 2012-mid year 2013?
Haay. Definitely not a good year for the Nazareths.
When I was growing up, I didn’t experience problems like
these. It’s so easy being a kid, indeed. Being part of the grown-up world is
just so hard. It’s just so sad that we’ve come to this. I was not expecting
this, and so as my family. We didn’t expect this to happen.. We’re so not used
to this.
So... (fame) and fortune don’t last. I have learned a
lot from what I’m (we’re) experiencing right now. I swear, I’m a better person
today. Now that I have experienced the reality, I can say that life really has
its ups and downs. You may be on top now, you’ll never know what will happen
tomorrow.
*siiiiiggghhhh*
I’m praying for a better tomorrow, and for the next days,
months and years to come to be the best…
No matter what happened, I’m sure that my family will be
strong for each other. I’m just so lucky to have the Nazareths behind me. They
are indeed the best family in the world.
Whatever happens, always remember.. GOD NEVER BLINKS!
Who knows what tomorrow brings? Hold on.. Be strong..
