... An Open Letter ...

the past month has been like a roller coaster ride for me.
ups. downs. twirls. rounds. what have you.
ive made really really tough decisions and have made big big adjustments.
at home. at work. on myself. and with almost everything else, including my lovelife.
even with my friends, of course.
to all those who are close to me, and to those who are not so close, u know what the hell im talkin about ayt? my life has been, well, someheow, an open book.
the bulletins, testimonials, the blogs, the stories, the postings, etc.
they are all a piece of me. and u can pretty sure get a glimpse of me thru my writing.

now, together with all this really nice things that ive been reaping, are bad events as well.
i' ve expected that.

what am i trying to arrive at?

last week, i got a letter from a friend asking me to help him repost sumthing about a very unfortunate incident. and so i did. here is the exact posting i made:

Content: From Downelink User Beware of Jong

This is a personal public service warning to all closeted/discreet male bisexual like me from being a victim of Jong aka Levider, also uses the e-mail add koyoteboymakati@yahoo.com, whose name appears in your friend's list.

Last July 16, 2005, My relationship with my parents and siblings was destroyed by him. I am a discreet closeted bisexual, which intends to keep this matter as confidential as possible, especially to my family. I was one of the sponsors of the free "o" party that he is organizing. The intention of the "o" party is to provide a safe place for PLU's to do their "stuff" for free. Jong violated the house rules, upon calling his attention. Jong and I had a minor misunderstanding. He tried to blackmail me (which is still recorded on my cellphone) and after I refuse to give in to his black-mailing. He called up and told my parents about my true self. After learning these, my father had a stroke and was confined at the Acute Stroke Intensive Care Unit (ASICU) in a hospital in Metro Manila. Should anyone want to verify and see my incriminating evidences, to verify the veracity of my allegations against him, please let me know. I will be glad to show it to you.

Please take note of his capabilities to wreck havoc on your personal life just like what he did to me and my family.

Also, please kindly assist me in dessiminating this information, with the hope that this kind of painful experience will not happe to other PLU's

Thank You

ok. shortly after i posted that, i got a lot of reaction. of course, i just said that we should just be careful and stuff, thats it. no more no less. i have no intentions of pinning the person down, only to warn my friends!
some friends told me that it myt do harm on my part. that it was a brave but risky act to do so and even put my name there. baka balikan daw ako.
i said, "the hell to him! i know what is ryt and i am old enuf to do wat i think is ryt".
and disseminating this info is sumthing ryt. i cannot just ignore it. for doing so wud be like an insult to the gay community. i can easily promote parties and all and i can do the same when it comes to protecting my friends. its a small world, believe me, and i dont want u or anybody writing the same letter that my friend wrote (or even this letter that im writing).

why? because now, after fighting for what is right, i am being accused! i am being pinned down. and they are coming after me. theyre spreading rumors that i hav a disease and all, that im infected, that im dirty, that im just that! what's worse: they have been contacting my lover and have been texting him stuff about me being a bigtime asshole and user and bitch and a major player. that he should get rid of me and that i dont deserve him. what's funny: i dont even know the guy!

i say im just so damn lucky that my lover thinks otherwise. and that he would not believe any crazy stuff. and i dont care what he says coz my real friends know what im made of.
well, of course it gave me some insecurity. who would not? even if i know its not true, it just sucks when some people just dunno how to take rejection properly and would resort to blackmailing afterwards.

i think ive made a good impression and reputation after all in this site and to all the other sites. im not sure what reputation he has built, after all those "O" parties he has been organizing. im not coming clean. i am also human. but please, let us not harm other people. let us remember that even if we're gay, we still deserve respect. and most esp, respect to ourselves.

now, this is the last time im gonna post sumthing abt this issue.
be extra careful guys. u might be his next victim. and if that time comes, be strong.

poor guy. like wut my friend said, he needs professional help.



whew! thank you for finding time to read this.
stay happy. stay gay. but always be safe.

cheers!
