The bottom who cried for justice

I am the kind of person who lives in a bubble. As much as possible I intentionally avoid listening to news and reading the paper as I easily get tired of the same violence and injustice happening in the world. However, these kinds of things still manage to permeate my bubble as I use social media.

So far, there had been two people that somehow piqued my interest : Jamich and Justin aka "the boy who cried books."

For the former, honestly I haven't seen or tried to watch their videos. They became popular under my nose and here is yet another couple with combined names. I wouldn't have been interested at all until I saw a "proposal video" done by Mich in the middle of a program by Bo Sanchez. What made it even more interesting was that Jam, was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. I almost got convinced.

This was until I saw and heard about #iponparasaiphone wherein at the time, the iP6 was supposedly priced at 100k. What made it worse was that people actually donated and some sold their humble units to contribute money... and this is what they see? After a week later, they released a statement wherein "money has never been an issue." Insensitive pricks.

My friend Dan, also died of cancer early February. He looked so different from what I remembered. He hid from us during the entire ordeal. Yet, here is a couple smothering us with photos and videos and tweets of every minute detail of their lives. 

Eventually, the inevitable happened and Jam died. However, Mich couldn't even pretend to be a grieving "fiancee." Then I recalled, why didn't they ever get married? Wasn't there a couple in UP PGH where they arranged for a wedding and the husband died the same day? Then here comes Mich with a new "flame" barely a month after Jam's death. Some even postulated the affair had been going on long before. 

Famewhoring. 

Here comes the second dude "the boy who cried books." 

At first, ok... what's up with that. Until I read a Rappler article about him and found him more worthy of attention. So much attention that celebrities also joined in the bandwagon. It was until one night when I (thought) I saw him at Wensha Timog.

I was like whuuuuuut?! Not that he doesn't deserve to be there or anything but after learning so much about you and your aspirations you have money to spend on a spa? I decided to confront a "fan," a former officemate and still good friend named Carlo.

• Seth

  I wasn't able to take or ask for his photo. I think i just saw "the boy who cried books" here at Wensha Timog.

  Carlo
• Ay sayang!
• Tuesday

  3/31, 1:24am

  Seth

  Pero akala ko ba poor at homeless sya?
• Tuesday
• 

  3/31, 6:57am

  Carlo 

  Ay no haha lumayas siya
• Tuesday
• 

  3/31, 9:57am

  Seth

  Yun nga pero bakit nasa kalsada and nakapambahay
• 

  3/31, 10:02am

  Carlo

  Nagbebenta siya ng books nagiipon for his tuition

  His mom "disowned" him daw and is no longer supporting him
• 

  3/31, 10:03am

  Seth

  I heard that story. Pero bakit sya nasa wensha? If ever sha nga yun. How is this any different from jamich pretending to be a grieving fiancee and just basking in the limelight
• 

  3/31, 10:04am

  Carlo

  Sana tinanong mo kung siya nga lol
• 

  3/31, 10:04am

  Seth

  Yun lang. Pero if that was him. Will that change your perception of him?
• 

  3/31, 10:04am

  Carlo

  Kung siya nga, baka may nanlibre or something

  Hindi lol
• 

  3/31, 10:06am

  Seth

  Im puzzled. Kasi sa akin, seeing a striving lawyer in a place quite expensive for his ordeal is kinda contradicting

  Yung context ba. It feels fake na tuloy for me.
• 

  3/31, 10:07am

  Carlo

  Sa FB page madaming nagrereach out to him. Maybe nilibre siya

  He's never put on an image naman na aping api siya

  He never said he's poor. Moneyless, yes, kasi nga he's no longer being supported

  So he's finding ways which led him to meet groups of people who are willing to help him or treat him out. Naging sort of "celeb"
• 

  3/31, 10:09am

  Seth

  But u do get what i mean. Parang yung jamich lang din na people donated money for his chemo then itong si kuya may hirit na ipon para sa iphone. Then they become defensive na money is not an issue.
• 

  3/31, 10:09am

  Carlo

  Hehe I don't see it that way

  Kasi yung libre iba naman yun

  Well kung nilibre nga siya

  We don't know naman what the real story is
• 

  3/31, 10:10am

  Seth

  Ok. Benefit of the doubt na lang talaga
• 

  3/31, 10:10am

  Carlo

  True. I don't see him kasi as namamalimos or kapos na kapos

  Just someone who's temporarily making ends meet by selling books

  Pero for sensationalism the media is portraying him as such
• 

  3/31, 10:14am

  Seth

  Kasi ito lang. So he has been bookish and all ever since pero he never achieved that fame and sympathy if he didnt end up on the streets. Filipinos tend to relate to an underdog kasi. Pero to which he's not. Ang packaging kasi sa kanya now eh parang aahon sa kahrapan thingy
• 

  3/31, 10:15am

  Carlo

  Yun na nga. But that's not his fault. He's always been transparent on his FB posts.

  Nakakasama niya pa sila Alessandra de Rossi lol
• 

  3/31, 10:15am

  Josh Asistin

  Sabagay. Marami lang nakikiride on dito

  Even yung nabalitang super summa cum laude ng UP noon. Di naman daw tshirt jeans saka tsinelas suot nya on a daily basis. Naka poloshirt and all. Presentable pero media wanted to play the angle "isko ng bayan"
• 

  3/31, 10:19am

  Carlo Rioflorido Yap

  Mahilig kasi magsensationalize media kaya we need to be discerning

  Parang yung pinortray ni Angel Locsin dati sa MMK na nabaliw

Moral of the story? 

Do not believe everything on the internet.

Pakyu Mark

May common friend pa nga pala kami. True friend pa nya. Lumabas tuloy pangalan nya sa newsfeed ko at nakita ko ito sa kanyang timeline.

Tengenengyen. 

Sooooo hyprocritical. Memorized ko pa names ng mga lalake mo ano?

Mag 30 na ako, almost 40 ka na niloloko po pa din pati sarili mo.

Mapapala

Lilinawin ko lang. Hindi ako magsusulat tungkol sa Valentines day.

Thank you.

Nagkaron kami ng isang interesting na usapan ni Joms kahapon tungkol sa nangyari sa kaopisina nyang lesbian. Itong kanyang kasamahang "flex trainer" ay ang "butch" sa relasyon, ibig sabihin siya yung "masculine." Pumasok ito sa opisina na maraming sugat dala mga kalmot galing sa kanyang ex-gf. Nalaman kasi ng ex-gf na wala pang isang buwan mula ang hiwalayan, mayroon na agad bagung babaeng kinakalantari o kapalit sa kanya. Nakarating sa babae na matagal na pala ang kanilang naging relasyon noon pa man bago ang naging hiwalayan.

Joms: "Kawawa naman yung officemate ko? Ang babaw naman bakit siya kailangan masaktan nang ganun."

Seth: "Bakit naman siya kawawa eh siya naman pala yung naunang magloko? Kung ako yun kulang pa yung natamo nya."

Joms: "Eh tapus na yung relasyon nila, bakit kailangan pa nilang mag-away bakit hindi na lang mag-move on yung isa?"

Seth: "Eh paano ka naman makaka move on kung nalaman mo na matagal ka na palang niloloko at tinapos lang nung isa yung relasyon dahil secured na siya dun sa kabila kaya bumitiw na siya. Ginawa niya yun kasi convenient na sa kanya ang lahat. Selfish pero sariling kaligayahan lang nya iniisip nya."

Joms: "Importante pa ba iyon kung ano ang totoo? Kung sabihin man nung isa yung tunay na dahilan o hindi maibabalik pa ba nila ang dati?"

Seth: "Hindi na, pero para sa akin importante din naman na magkaroon ng closure yung kabila na maintindihan nya kung bakit wala na. Lahat naman siguro ng relasyon hangga't maari eh ginagawan nila nang paraan na ayusin pero paano ka matututo kung meron ka bang nagawang mali bakit hindi nagtagal yung relasyon. Para sa susunod na relasyon mo, alam mo na ang dapat iwasan."

Joms: "Karamihan naman siguro ng mga relasyon may isa na hindi pa handang bumitiw pero ano pa ba ang magagawa mo kung ayaw na nung isa?"

Seth: "Hindi ko naman ipipilit ibalik eh? Siguro susubukan ko sa una, pero sa katagalan ang gusto ko na lang eh maintindihan kasi masakit ang bumitiw. Kaya kung yung isa ay nagsinungaling sa dahilan kung bakit siya nakikipaghiwalay magagalit talaga ako, baka gusto ko din manakit."

Joms: "At ano naman ang mapapala mo kapag nanakit ka? Di na rin naman kayu magkakabalikan?"

Seth: "Sasaktan ko pa ba siya kung gusto kong ibalik ang dati? Galit na ako eh. Ang gusto ko na lang masaktan din siya. Alam mo naman, violent akong tao malakas lang talaga akong magpigil."

Joms: "Yun nga eh. Ikaw violent ako hindi. Siguro iiyak na lang ako. Magagalit din, pero hindi ako mananakit. Malulungkot ako sandali pero babangun din ako ulit. Life is too short to be sad."

Seth: "Some people grieve. Textbook nga at least 6 months ang grieving."

Joms: "Wala din naman maysabi na kailangan 6 mos. Decision ko naman iyon kung gusto kong mas maikli kung sakali."

Seth: "Kung niloko ako, gusto kong gumanti, makakatulong sa akin yung makapanakit. Makaganti. Yung kalmot na iyon, sana mag-iwan ng peklat sa kanya."

Joms: "Para naman saan yung peklat?"

Seth: "Para maalala niya kung paano nya nakuha iyon. Dahil sa pagloloko niya kaya siya sinugatan. Sana hindi na niya iyon ulitin pa sa iba."

Joms: "Mawawala din naman yung peklat. Kung sakali man maiwan, wala na din yung ibig sabihin sa kanya."

Seth: "Scars are a reminder that the past was real. May ibang tao, dahil nakalusot sila sa ginawa nila, nakakalimutan nila mga kasalanan nila. Hindi mo naman kasi kayang iasa lahat sa karma lang. Ang tagal nun, baka hindi pa dumating o hindi mo malaman? I would get the satisfaction of inflicting what I think would be an equal or more pain to the offender."

Joms: "Sorry ha, pero mashadong mababaw yung dahilan na iyon."

Seth: "Siguro kasi mahal ko yung sarili ko, pag binigay mo yung sarili mo sa ibang tao, sana aalagaan ka din nila. Pag tinanggap mo yung isang tao tapus sasaktan ka lang din pala niya, magsisisi ka tuloy sa naging desisyon mo. Lahat ng nangyari noon, hindi mo na alam kung ano ang totoo. Hindi mo na alam kung yung mga panahon na naging masaya ka, eh masaya pa ding balikan. Nung naghiwalay kami ni Mark at nalaman ko na mas matagal na pala niya akong niloloko at patuloy na niloloko bago pa man nagsimula ang pinakaunang away namin, galit na galit ako. Dun na ako bumitiw. Sinabi ko sa sarili ko na ayaw ko na, hindi na mauulit. Hindi ko na hahayaan na sasaktan ulit ako tulad nang ganoon.

Paano kung bukas makalawa nakipag hiwalay ako sa iyo? Anung gagawin mo?"

Joms: "Gusto ko munang malaman kung bakit?"

Seth: "Importante pa ba iyon? Kung sabihin kong nagising na lang ako isang araw, ayaw ko na, kunin mo na mga gamit mo bumalik ka sa sa bahay mo sa Project 4. Iwan mo ang susi ng pinto, huwag na tayung mag usap pa ulit kahit kailan. Ok lang yun sa iyo?"

Joms: "Kukunin ko mga gamit ko. Pero gusto ko pa din malaman kung bakit?"

Seth: "Paano kung ayaw ko nang sabihin? Hindi na rin naman ako kailangan pang magpaliwanag pa. Tinapus ko na hindi ba? Ito yung ibig kong sabihin na convenient lang para dun sa isa ang pakikipag break pero nakabitin sa ere yung isa."

Joms: "Alam mo, kung sakali man na kunwari, mahuli kita sa akto na may kasiping na iba o natutulog ka sa kama natin na mayroon kang ibang kasama. Hindi kita aawayin, hindi pa rin ako mananakit. Gigisingin lang kita para sabihin ko sa iyo, "kukunin ko lang mga gamit ko.""

Seth: "Seriously? Kasi kung ako yun at nahuli kita baka dinampot ko na yung kutsilyo sa lababo siguro magdidilim paningin ko patay kayu pareho."

Joms: "Ang gory naman. Kapapanuod mo kasi ng Chicago at yung Cell Block Tango."

Seth: "IKR. Pero nakakapagud itong usapan natin."

Joms: "Kain na nga lang tayu."

#epicstrut

Sad ako pero mamaya ko ka ikukwento.

Gusto ko muna libangin sarili ko. Kayanin ko din kaya magplatform heels?

Good Karma

After lunch, I accompanied a friend to withdraw from an ATM. The guy in front of us spilled coffee on his hands by accident. It was a good thing I brought tissues and gave it to him. 

A week afterwards, I was on my way home from a cramped train and I suddenly got a nosebleed. This usually tends to happen when I am too exhausted and I couldn't bear the humidity. I pinched my nose to make it stop while using my free hand to find something to wipe myself. I don't carry a handkerchief and the only piece of cloth I have was a small piece used to clean my shades. 

The man in front of me noticed my predicament and offered his seat. A lady also offered her tissues and because of their help I managed to clean up. It was a good thing I didn't spill on my shirt or worse. 

I thanked them for their kindness and offered to take their name and number so I could make it up to them but they politely declined.

I am always grateful to the kindness of absolute strangers and my faith in humanity has been restored.
