Guys thank you so much for listening to me and responding to me.

You don't how much has changed this day.

My brother and I finally got to talk about all these things... and he is open to all the things I told him like to live within one's means and to work hard for things one wants to buy or afford.

We had an hour and a half of heart-to-heart talk and I told him, I will help you with all your needs... but for the things you want, you may have to work for that.

I also told him my life's story and how I tried my hardest to save money when I was a student and to be basically someone who didn't need a lot.

I was able to convince him.

And now we are trying to work on establishing his business. I told myself, I won't be leaving our family until I get to see my younger brother able to take care of himself without asking for money from parents and siblings.

I also told him to not ask from our sister whom I described as "overworked."

OMG I can't believe all these things are happening in a day.

Suddenly, my brother and I are friends again.

I am soooo glad and really can't believe this.

Anyway, this might shed some light why things shifted towards this direction. I actually posted an FB status and it goes this way:

A lot of soul-searching has happened this past night. Now that I've learned enough, another chapter awaits me.

I think I've matured one year more in just a night. I'm grateful to the internet for unearthing my deepest thoughts by allowing me to listen to music, read studies and historical events, and express myself.

I look at things differently now. My prejudices gone. Categories and labels obliterated.


My soul-searching last night and looking at all the things that I was mindlessly interested in helped me eradicate all these unnecessary labels and categories. I realized that in the end, we are all just the same.

I now see my brother as one intelligent, talented person who might have been misguided but is actually a genius in his own right. I kept on telling him how he did this and did that... that he's not really cognitively-impaired as what his doctor told him...

We did some things this afternoon like fixing the car and driving to the gym... things went perfectly well... I can't believe how a night of soul-searching without sleep (yes, I didn't sleep last night) would produce some kind of miracle.

I asked my parents about it, and they were pleasantly glad how things are turning out.

From now on, I will focus on my family and I will no longer watch porn. I have no reason why I can't find the right person for me... who may be a woman or a man... It doesn't matter. No more labels! Just do what's right and what's responsible. 🙂
