As much as possible I don't wan't to blog anything personal, moving or something that's connected to emotions. Idk, maybe because the world wide web is too open for everyone to read. You can't even track them in one snap. I have this thinking that I have many friends to tell my personal stories, heartaches or events in my everyday life so what's the sense of blogging it?
But this one really moves me for no apparent reason. It restored my faith and made me feel thankful to God eventhough I do not get EVERYTHING that I want. I admit it, I rant often especially when I think I deserve that particular thing yet it wasn't mine yet/ given to me. This event kind of changed me ( atleast perhaps)
I was running late for my 10 am class last friday. I left home around 9 :05 am. Unfortunately there's no fx that time so I have to take a jeep to robinson then fx. When the jeep I'm riding on passed by dela costa, it stopped to wait for passengers. Later on, an old man walking slowly said "bayan?" ( he was referring to a place in Novaliches) He was staring blankly and far away. Right then, I realize he was blind. The driver didn't hear him. Good thing, a teenager guy approached him and said " saan po ba kayo?" The teen waved ( pumara) to the driver of the jeep and guided the old man to ride . I feel pity for the old man since I know it's very hard for him to go to places with his condition. He was also having a hard time looking for coins in his bag( for fare) Btw, He looks decent and not so poor. I wanted to offer to pay for his fare but I thought twice because he might get offended.
Maybe this story's just a normal incident for others; but for me, this was very moving. I realized how blessed I am despite of the things I rant to have. At that moment, i felt guilty for nagging my mom to buy me an Iphone 5 and other stuff as soon as possible while on the other side of life, people less than me ( don't get me wrong.. Like the old man ) strive to live and survive each day with greater challenges to overcome...
