Street Children: Spreading Happiness In My Travels


if you have been reading my posts, maybe you have noticed that the heroes in my posts are not the places, but the people who are so lucky and deserving to be living in those islands that i spend so much time, effort, and money with, just to see and visit. the other people have not been highlighted yet in this blog site. :)

as i move forward, let me just share this thing that i did. but there are actually a lot of stories of this kind that i can write here. but it took a long time for me to decide to write about them. as i really do not want to write about the other things that i do, on the side. but now, my purpose is to influence and inspire.

this is the most recent, as it happened only last night.
i attended the event in my company to award the people who have loyally stayed with the company. we talked about life's journey, with 2 groups - it was a whole day celebrating life!

that evening, it was extra challenge for me to get a cab. so in my long black dress, with no image problem whatsoever, i walked with my slippers to take the bus, then the jeepney. i was seated near the jeepney's entrance. when suddenly, two young girls, appeared, gave envelopes. and sang. they were singing an OPM song, and i could tell by the looks in their faces, that it has been a long day. they were just standing there, and i feared that they might lose their grip of the bar and fall.

that was when i whispered, "sama kayo sa ken, kain tayo sa mcdo." coz i know that there is one nearby. they said "yehey!" then i remembered that there is a jollibee store accross that. so i said, "sa jollibee nalang." they yelled, "YEEEESSS!" napangiti ako sa tuwa nila.
