Advocacy: Campaign for Real Torpe

Being the torpe that I am (or was), I really wanted to do this for a long time a spoof of Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty. Back in the last semester, we had speakers for our Public Relations class, and we were shown a lot of advocacy campaigns. I was thinking, why not make an advocacy campaign for torpes like me. Now, I finally started it and finished it.

I think "torpe-hood", "torpe-dom", "torpe-ness" or katorpehan or whatever you call it, is mostly misunderstood. Just like ADHD, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, (not that I consider katorpehan as a disease) torpe people are misunderstood, and do not get the treatment they deserve. Torpe people are humans too. they can love too. they also get hurt. Torpes also need the chance to love and be loved. Don't reject them at will.

Can timidity really be a strategy to get the girls? I mean, are we really shy or just sly? Torpes usually wait, and wait for the proper moment to come. It's all up to timing, or it could get tiring... I can't think anymore... Hmm...


p.s.
Torpe = timid people; shy; too afraid to ask a girl out or express his true feelings

oh and by the way:

i guess that's what the world is about isn't it? M.U.'s. misunderstandings.

those who talk are muted. those who ain't are mute anyway.

hindi pa nga ganun ka creative yan kasi spoof lang yan ng campaign. cguro ung execution medyo, pero rip-off pa rin dahil sa trippings.

hmm...

misunderstandings are evil, and should be avoided at all costs.

i just remembered what happened this afternoon, and i think understanding should really be mutual and reciprocal, otherwise if only one does, it may also lead to misunderstanding. hmm... do i make sense?

agree. now im thinking, would one who understands affect the one who misunderstands or the other way around? i guess we need to be honest to ourselves and try to understand, hoping that we could do some positive change...

gaya nga ng sabi ni rj:

"I want to change the world but God won't give me the source code."

the point is, we were never understood, were we?

naalala ko ung isang line na nasagap ko somewhere...

"she may change the world. but she can't change me."
