TO someone who’ve learned about my disabilities,
And can’t or doesnt want to believe if I am telling the truth
or just saying this for the sake of wanting to be pitied …
so, I can sell my stuffs and creations …
I am just being honest to everyone
(new online friends, customers or business contacts)…
Who asked me, “What’s wrong if I call you now or why can’t I talk to you over the phone?”…
Well, to answer them, “SORRY, I may not hear you well over the phone. Becoz I am inborn with hearing and speech defects (plus a lot of congenital ailments.)” SO, some would ask me…
“What is it like to be deaf?"
Deaf? Oh, hmm... how do I explain that?
Simple: “I can't hear properly, at times totally none.”
It is much more than that.
Always observing things going on.
Being alert and on your feet all the time.
Natural curiosity perks up…
Upon seeing great laughter, crying, anger.
Inquiring only to meet with a "Never mind" or
"Oh, it's not important".
I did not grow up isolated or a loner...
I was always with lots of my family and friends around me…
Sometimes, understanding my situation…
Sometimes getting upset over my repeated...”HUH??” or “WHATsss?
Sometimes, getting laugh at for making a mistake about what was said ...
AND sometimes, getting the privilege to be proud of =)
BUT, at all the time my family and friends, LOVES me for what I am.
So, it never was or rather never is an embarrassment to admit that I am born with these defects. It doesn’t make me miserable being partially deaf…
infact, it helps me to be a stronger person…
[That’s makes me bossy to my siblings…. =) ]
Sometimes, it’s hard to communicate, yes, I will admit that…
It also makes me feel uncomfortable to others who are trying to think of how to communicate with me…
But, for those who’ve known me...
And I use my other senses
Though, I also lost my right eye sight (2003),
I still have the left eye to LIP read…
With my sense of touch, I can still create lots of my stuffs with much more feelings…
With my sense of taste, I can cook and baked gourmet food and delectable goodies like my cakes…
With my sense of smell, I can breathe in any messages that will transmit to my brain from people around me…
AND as long as I don’t hurt anyone…
even with having a tight business competition…
I know I am doing fine and good with everything.
This is for you, MS. PAMELA whose multiply site doesn’t exist anymore =( …
I hope you read and understand this carefully…
Rather than spreading some nonsense gossip about me…
may YOU SLEEP WELL tonight
And have a nice day tomorrow!!!
