Bread Whiner

Posted by ryohie at 03:08 AM on April 2, 2009.

At some point in our lives, well as a filipino. Some of us or most of us must be a bread winner. Sa hirap ba naman ng buhay dito diba? We need to at least look back and help the people who raised us with unconditional love and support.

Serious? Yes. I am a bread winner, you must be too. Mahirap diba? Lalong mahirap pag malayo ka sa pamilya mo, magkasakit ka man..self service. Ni wala ka man lang magluluto sayo or bumuli ng gamot. Pagdown ka, wala ka makausap..well some friends they do but sometimes iba yung galing sa family mo...

Mahirap lang kami, there was I point that every night I would wake up to a loud cry of hunger. I just endured...kelan kaya titigil to. When that happens, I think of doughnuts, lush cream caramels, mouth watering ice cream sorbet and some sugary stuff..that would ease the hunger..at least on my mind.

There were high hopes when my eldest brother graduated, we were relieved. But behind that blinding hope was utter despair...all I could ask God is..WHY? My brother left us with Nothingness, vast void questions unanswered. I didn't cried, not that I remembered..I reckon that day I created my happy mask..I used that to show him that we didn't needed him...deceiving but empty.

I worked my way to get a job at the best of my abilities. I wanted to show my brother that with this little arms, this frail body, this scarred heart! that I can raise my...our family out of this misery. Yes, ikaw ang rason sa entry na to...I can never face you to tell all of these things and yes very cowardly of me...but this is just my outlet of misery.

My dear brother...wala naman akong gustong ibang hingin sayo, you never heard me asked a favor from you ever...not in my entire life..not even them. All I ask is for you to look back...look back on us. We are just trailing behind you, di mo ba kami makita? Nakatingala ka lang ba para sa sarili mo?

I know you will never wake up from that bliss nor even read this entry. But I am just furious about what you have said to me today..all I wanted was to ask for some help. I can never raise them alone...my happy mask is wearing out...my body is about to give up, the walls I build is ready to crumble....

Sorry guys ha, its my rant post again. My manoy (thats what i call him) is not really that bad, due to circumstances lang siguro. Nagusap kami kanina, he told me something that made me really angry, all I did was asked for help..is it really to much? yeah..bread whiner I am *happy face turned on*

nalungkot nman ako sa blog mo, ganyan din kasi ang family ko.ang difference lang hindi ako lumaki sila at naging rebelde ako sa magulang at nagasawa ng maaga.hence, much as i want to, hindi ko na rin sila mashado matulungan..pinagpapasalamat ko lang naiinitindihan ako ng mga kapatid ko.im sorry to hear you feel that way pero isipin mo na lang, tao lang din ang kapatid mo, nagkakamali.thus, i hope you find, however hard it may seem, to forgive him and have peace in your heart.dont let anger drift you further apart

mars, i felt sad naman sa blog mo. well you can't force your 'manoy' (parang ang pangit pakinggan a) to do what you desire (hai. sadjang pangit talaga.. XD) to do with your family.
i don't want to make a side comment about him kasi hindi ko pa naman alam side niya.

but

since i read your blog and i felt your hidden angst, well inom nalang natin yan! *evil grins*

kidding aside..

bro i may not know how you really feel towards your brother but I will advise you to be strong.

lalo na't ikaw pala ang bread whiner.

do your best. show him na you will not do the things he had done with your family.

one day, pag nakita niya na maayos na kayo..

i'm sure he will feel pain.. triple than what you are feeling right now.

always remember na, lahat ng nasa itaas will also experience a downfall. same as with the people who are experiencing this kind of dilemma. vice versa.

you will surpass this.

bagay sa 'tin ang kanta ni Lady Gaga for now.

show the world our Poker Face..

"they can't read my poker face" (humming the song)

see ya soon!

awww.. erlenn nakaka guilty naman.. i just posted a great big whine.. hay..

eniwei, ibinabalik ko sa 'yo: ang tubig kahit gano kalalim hanggang dibdib lang yan ng duck, at tayo ay mga Mighty Ducks! alam mo yan. at si manoy, kung nasaan man sya, lugi sya dahil wala syang experience na katulad mo na mas makakapagpayaman pa, hindi man siguro sa pera, kundi sa mapagbigay na puso.

you have always been a kind soul, that alone is a richness in you. Keep aiming BIG though, it doesn't end with having a big heart. One day a time. Live life. Keep the faith. Stay true. Mishu Erlenn ^^ muah!

I don't want to be callous and say, "Keep pressing on."

I know some of what you've been going through. Ay ay! Gasgas na linya na. Sorry.

Seriously though, I am touched by this. Almost made me cry, if I'm not in the office, I would have.

You obviously need some encouragement (Duh! Of course! I'm sorry for my stupidity). You believe in God. It has been said in His word that He won't give trials that we can't win. I know, it's hard to believe in God when we go through difficult situations. I should know. I've contemplated suiced before. But ultimately, when everyone left us, when everything seems to be in shambles, we don't have anything to look up to but God.

I don't really know what you're going through. But I do know that God doesn't put these tests just for the heck of it. I don't know why bad things happen. But ultimately, I trust God that every piece of the puzzle, be it crooked, smooth, zigzag or straight, will fit together. That after all, everything will work together for good, regardless of what we're going through at the moment.

I pray that the peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard your heart and your mind.
