Negativity

I've been blogging for years now, and through the course of these years I've learned to develop a thick skin when it comes to dealing with messages/emails that are hateful in nature. I am aware that there are people who do not agree with my sexuality and lifestyle but I don't think that gives them the right to send me messages with hateful terms such as; idiot, asshole, shithead, slut, etc. I've been getting a lot of these types of messages lately. I wonder why? Iniistorbo nila ako. Mga antipatika!!!! Hahaha!
There are also gay men who criticize the sound of my voice so condescendingly. What disappoints me the most is that majority of these gay men are Filipinos like me. I've corresponded with people from other countries and they didn't seem to have any problems regarding the way I speak. It's my fellow Filipino gay brothers who seem to have an "issue" with it. They say that it's a shame that my voice is too gay or soft. They (Filipino homosexual critics) usually refer to themselves as "bisexuals" even though they do not have sex with women. Very confusing! Naloko ako! Hehe! Well, as for me...I am gay and I don't have any intentions of changing the way that I am just to seek other people's approval or meet other people's "standards" with regards to what they believe is attractive. I've done that before and I only ended up feeling miserable, insecure, and shallow.
I don't wish to become a "lemming", a follower...always trying to conform & please everyone. And hindi yata bagay sa akin magsalita ng mga katagang "bro", "dude", "pre", "pare".....pare...pakiss naman pare....Hahaha! Ayokong masyadong maging paminta. 1/4 paminta lang. Hahaha! I just want to be me and I'll continue to be the way that I am as long as the manner in which I live my life doesn't intentionally hurt or offend others in the process. There's already a lot of things negative in this world and I don't wish to be a part of that :-)



PS

I have nothing against bisexuals and pamintas ok?
I even had a relationship with one in the past
Ayoko lang ng overly paminta. They look too stiff ;-)

It takes courage and talent to write as you do. I wonder how much courage and talent it takes to write “asshole” behind the anonymity of a computer monitor. I like your voice, your personality and your talent for writing. I have to tell you mate, you’re far from perfect...but I do admire your courage. You can send me a cheque for writing the above later.

Hi,
First time visiting your blog. I hope you don't take the negative comments too seriously. Some adults act like immature children, so it's best to think of them that way. People have their limitations -- you wouldn't expect a 12 year old to act like a twenty-five year old, right? The same concept can be applied to certain adults.
