I and my friends walked around the C-Park in UPLB at around 9 o'clock in the evening after eating our dinner at the Boston Cafe :). Suddenly, I saw a kid selling sampaguita. That kid approached us. He requested us to buy sampaguita from him. My friends ignored the kid's request and said that they've no money left on their pocket. But, I get a money from my pocket and donated it to the kid. I didn't anymore get the sampaguita because I have no altar in my apartment to hang it on, and, also, he may be able to get additional money for selling it to other people. I said to the kid, "O bata, ito P40, bili mo ito ng pagkain, umuwi ka na rin sa inyo, gabi na, baka mapahamak ka pa." He, then, replied, "Opo, thank you po. God bless po. God bless."
I was struck. I am really touched because nowadays, showing gratitude isn't a mainstream anymore. Though, I am not asking for recognition for the act that I voluntarily did, it feels too good to hear people uttering words of thanks towards you. Even if that P40 seems so little for us, for that kid, it seems so big and useful. It really feels so great to help the needy people. :). For, I always believe in the saying that "What you give, will come back to you in three more folds." :D. And, I really can attest to this ;)
