An update on the scandal/ drama/ issue:
I don't know whether to be happy or sad about the "issue" aka "Lexi-gate" scandal that's been happening. As you all know, a fellow blogger we all though who was a "friend" has been bashing us privately to her friends and quite unexpectedly these conversations have ended up online. Screencaps were provided as evidence and the authenticity of the matter was validated when Lexi herself apologized for her facebook being hacked. She did not however explain nor apologize for her negative remarks, statements and comments which for the most part targeted my Woo Girls, Patricia Prieto, Lissa Kahayon and myself. I am sad because obviously, when you hear totally untrue and foul things being said about you, it definitely hits a nerve. On the bright side, I am also appreciative since I can feel the love and support of my blogger friends, readers and Chictopia fans. For all the well-wishes and the positive reinforcement to keep on going, you have made us all keep our head held high despite the tribulations. I have so much to be thankful for, so many people to thank, you know who you are and I love you all.
This isn't really the first time this happened to me, Lissa or to Patrish. As bloggers, we have accepted the fact that exposing certain parts of your life to the general public will definitely generate a few haters and people who will question, challenge and oppose our statements and choices. It's all part of the job, we know... and we knew that before getting into the whole scene. If I count the number of comments I get berating me on how I always seem to be dolled up, as if it was a bad thing, on my weight loss or on my makeup, I'd probably go stark raving mad. I just chose not to let it get to me because well, it's part of the whole scene.
Most of the time, I am labeled as a very bitchy person, at first glance. I know this because after being close to some people on a deeper level, they open up how my cheerful caring disposition surprised them as I give off this disapproving, "you can't just talk to me" vibe. This observation has been a common theme with both my guy and girl friends. I will admit being awkward and uncomfortable around people I just met but that is not because I am condescending, it's cause I'm really shy, and this is a trait my family knows about me since I learned how to socialize. Maybe it's the all dolled up look or the certain circle of trust I preserve with only a select few. Maybe its how me and my friends dress and whisper all the time (since Patricia and Lissa have also been getting the same remarks) but I can say, we are probably the warmest and nicest bunch of girls to get to know, well once you get the nerve to actually try. Which is why it hurt us that someone we let in can just bash us like that.
There have been more "bombs" that exploded tonight...things so foul they are unspeakable that even KarmaFashPolice decided not to divulge the info to the public as they were so damning, Lexi would probably be Public Enemy #1 if she did. I apprieciate KarmaFashPolice for NOT releasing these statements and screen caps as they are blasphemous, incriminating and hard core pure evil. If you knew what's been said, I think all doubt shall be cast aside that she might be the spawn of Satan. (I'm just saying.) I still don't hate her... I don't have room for my emotions for hate or anger as they are overshadowed by hurt over the betrayal, and that is quite a new feat esp. for me, who never backs down from a fight. I guess when I just have been hurt so much, I tend to crawl up my shell and hide.
I don't quite know how things will end up in this whole situation. I don't know if I can ever forgive the girl for what she has said about me, my family and my friends. All I know is that I am positive that Lissa, Patrish and I will come out the other end a little bruised, a little broken, a little humbled and hopefully, a whole lot smarter.
I still believe in happy endings.
