So here’s the deal, to make sure it is clear to my subscribers on this site, I’ve determined that from time-to-time, there will be some posts that I want to keep restricted to just my subscribers. These are free subscribers (only require an email to sign up) and NOT paid subscribers. The main reason is because I’ve found that despite my best efforts to remain authentic and genuine online, the online world can still be a cruel & nasty place. That said, I refuse to change my beliefs in being authentic and genuine just because some people won’t agree with me about who I am, or how I’m feeling, or how I think. So, to avoid/prevent those unnecessary negativity, I’ve decided that it would save me a lot of headache if I simply restrict them from reading certain posts.
It’s why I am so “strict” about what I share online and who I want to share them with. At the current moment, my site here has 72 subscribers. Some are WordPress users, and some are simply email subscribers. Either way, I remain grateful for my readers and subscribers alike.
That out of the way, I just feel like sharing the truth about everything that I’m going through right now. For the past week or more, I’ve been skipping over lunch everyday because in order to survive, I realized that I needed to eat less. So right now, that means adjusting myself to just 2 meals a day. That’s breakfast at 7am and dinner at around 7:30~8pm. 12 hours in between with no food. Just drinking water. Lunch times are sometimes the worse, especially the 2-3 hours after lunch time. This is usually when I feel the hungriest. It is also tempting to be distracted and so overwhelmed with the feelings of hunger that I totally stop doing whatever it is that I have to do. Today, that is to focus on my school assignment.
I am glad to say that despite my hunger right now, I’ve been able to push through it. Managed to get some of the slides for my report done so far. I’ll add more stuff to the slides later.
It is part of the reason why I’m trying really hard to raise the funds necessary to survive during this period of time. Gig work had recently dried up, and as you might already know, I’m still waiting on word for a job interview progress. So things are just kinda hanging in mid-air right now. For now, the only thing I can control, is to continue my most sincere efforts of reaching out and asking for help from the community (and my readers, you). I need your help to raise a total of S$1,500.00. It is what I’ll be using to support, not just myself, but also my parents and the household expenses.
I know S$1,500 might seem like a lot to some folks. But in Singapore, and perhaps other developed nations, it is actually considered the bare minimum in most cases. That’s the cost-of-living here. Right now, my most immediate goal/objective is still to try and raise at least S$800 by today. Still have no clue/idea how that’s going to happen, but I will continue to remind myself that if this is God’s will for me to try something so bold (and took a lot of courage to do), then surely He must have provided a way for me to raise what I need.
Two Ways You Can Help Me & My Family
I genuinely prefer the first one because it is a platform that I’m familiar with. It’s been properly set up and I know how it works. And that platform is PayPal. I’ve already set up my profile page and linked it up to my personal bank account. With your help, I’ll be able to support and provide for my family’s needs. Sadly, I do not own a Premium subscription, so I can’t use the PayPal feature here in WordPress. So this link is going to have to do for now.
Alternatively, I do have a stripe account. And I think it’s already linked up, but I am not familiar with the platform and it’s transfer rates and time (how long it takes for the funds to be transferred to my personal account). But I figured, if having this option makes it easier for you (my readers) to make a donation, then I honestly don’t mind providing this alternative.
Again guys, there is no minimum amount. If you can give S$1, or S$5, it would be extremely helpful too. No amount is too small right now. Meanwhile, I’m going to continue to push on with my school assignment. Hopefully, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I can put together what I need today, and for the rest of June. I have to believe that with God, all things are possible.
