All of a sudden, I feel as if I'm back in high school, where people started teasing me with the moniker Fatty Yeah. The recent Facebook posts by my so-called 'friends' have made me doubt myself. And as always, the teasing is initiated by a certain big bully.
On the surface he's such a nice guy, but in truth he's just another big bully. What's worse is that he makes fun of me in front of my other friends too!
And because of that, suddenly everything I do is scrutinized.
I don't know why they like to tease me. Its like they bully me just for fun, and they seize every opportunity to do it.
Its not just the 'Usual Suspects' either. To quote Julius Caesar's last words: "Et tu, Brute?" which is Latin for "Even you, Brutus?" or in this case, "Even you, Kochi?".
Actually come to think of it, Brutus isn't a bad name for him. LOL! Brutus Koh. Yeng weh!
Evidently I need new friends. Friends who aren't shallow. The only reason why I tolerate them its because they are all I have T__T
So I tried to comfort myself by Googling 'fat people who are also successful'. I stumbled upon an article from this site called the Wisdom Journal and its title was 'Successful People Are Always FAT'. Instantly I felt a strong sense of hope and motivation as I proceeded to read the article.
But this surge of optimism left as quickly as it came, as I discovered that the word FAT was just an acronym. F stands for Friendly, Financially Minded and Forgiving. A stands for Accessible, Achievement Oriented and Attractive (haiz...). T stands for Teachable, Tenacious, and Trustworthy.
I didn't let this setback affect me though, so I continued to search until I discovered a site called the Big Fat Blog. I thought it would be a blog about successful fat people, but I was so wrong. The title of the latest post was "Fat People: Please Stop Existing". There was even a list of 10 reasons why its not OK to be fat. I'll only list down a few examples, coz the rest are just sick.
1. Public Healthcare - Why should the rest of us pay high taxes for you to eat yourself to death.
2. Nobody likes you. Except for, possibly other fat people.
5. Not only do you frighten children, you set a bad example.
6. You ruin pictures.
9. Because only aircraft are supposed to be equipped with flaps. Their flaps serve a purpose.
Ok you gotta admit the last one was pretty funny. Damn I so bad laugh at my own kind. But seriously I never knew there was so much fat hatred, which is sad really.
That's why God is so wonderful. He loves us for who we are. Who cares if I'm fat? Psalm 139:14 says:
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Can't wait for praise band practice tomorrow! Its gonna be awesome.
