So today, i went to my uncles place to get the rent which was supposedly i'll be getting yesterday, but i wasnt able to get it for maybe God has some plans! :) and so there was! 3:00 am my phone alarmed for the 4:30 mass. when papa was already dressed up, last minute i decided to attend and get out of bed and dressed quickly. after the mass we went home bought some pandesal and changed clothes.. my brother is supposed to be getting the rent today, but he has nothing to wear so there was no one except for me. by 9 i was already at my uncle's place which was in down town, the city was quite peaceful, less people, less traffic. less vehicle, less chaos. just perfect for morning ride. after few talks, they handed me the rent, and i decided to went home. i took a jeep that would take me to ponciano, and there from ponciano to TORIL. as i was there at ponciano.. at the place where i was staying was just at the right place for me to get a ride from home.. but i walk straight until i reach UM as in UM yung may palikong papuntang san pedro.. and from there, there was an old woman, truly old! like 80 yrs old! she couldn't hardly hear and see.. and is already kuba due to her osteoporosis the curving of bone?! like that.. so she approached me and said "asa ba padulong mintal?" w/ her slow soft voice, and i said " ha? la, wlaa bya mu agi dire na jeep pa mintal.." she replied " ang akoa man gung jeep, wala ko gi naog sa bangkerohan.." and by that i pity the old woman.. she wast lost! she couldnt walk normally, every people who sees her would have the look in their faces na naaawa sa lola.. na susundan nila ng tingin hanggang sa makalayo! i feel that i should help this lola! and then she asked again " asa ba padulong sa dakong simbahan?.." so i think the one she was saying was the San Pedro Church.. so i said " dira la oh.. (pointing straight to the street)" the lola immediatly walked!.. i was worried for that lola.. so as she was slowly getting far.. i decided to follow and stay behind her just to make sure she can safely reach the church. but she walks sooo slow that nauna tuloy ako sa kanya.. but i waited for her sa may kanto tapat ng merco, harap ng jolibee kasi crossing yun. before she reached the place i was in, there was a man in green shirt come running towards her and handed her 50 or 20 pesos and said "la imoha na ni.." and she smiled the only thing i saw she had was a bolo yung maliit na pang bungkal ng lupa wrapped by red cellophane.. :( so she reache the crossing and asked me again, & i dont think she recognize, she just asked " asa na man tung simbahan day...?" and i said " naa sa unahan la... ihatod nalang tika" so i handed her, and took care of her coz she's fragile. very sensitive, very weak... :| every people we pass by would look at us! some even asked if she was my lola, and i said "no gi alalayan lang nako sya.." we reached the church, and she bought some candles and offered her money, but instead i payed for her candles thinking baka wala syang pera, sa kanya nalang ang pera nya.. she lighted the candle.. and prayed.. at that time i didn't pray anything for my self nor for my family.. i prayed to God to grant her prayers and for her safety..
so after she prayed.. i brought her across the street to ride a jeep that would deliver us to roxas, coz from roxas the mintal jeep passes there.. but instead of jeep mag sikad nalang kami para sa roxas na di na kami mag tawid! baka kasi masagasaan si lola ako pa ma blame! so nag sikad kami, i payed for her fair.. from their i asked "la asa ka dapit sa mintal?" she said sa La florisima church daw, nandun bahay nag apo nya.. and she lives there w/ them.. and the i said okay.. so pinara ko ang jeep na may kondoktor and said to the driver to deliver her the the said church, and make sure to deliver her their co she was alone, no ones w/ her! and the driver said yes.. so i asked for the fare he said 20 and paid to the lola's fare, the lola whom i don't know the name said to me " ayaw nalang uy magabaan ta nimo naay akoa.. " & "salamat day ha.." and by that! i felt like crying.. :"\ crying for happiness that i helped, crying for the pity feeling i get.. i dont know.. ;(
so after i assured that the lola was able to get a ride from home, i crossed the street and finally have my own ride. the lola even said sorry, for she was able to took my time and said thank you :'> it was the sweetest, to help someone whom you don't know w/out expecting anything in return.. even from God, all i was hoping is for that old woman to have her safe way from home. not to mention i cried while i was on my way home.. thanks to my shades! i was not so curios and people didn't actually notice that i was a bit crying.. hehe
see?? im not that really bad?! i have some natural goodness in me.. we all have.. i maybe bad. but just right amount of wrong :)
you don't need to be a politician to help. do it your way. a shout out to everyone, if you get your self in same situation try to help! coz by that thoughtful act, you get real good feeling that somewhat proud some. its one of the best things in life helping w/ no return. i can say it! coz I DID! just by sharing this, i want all you guys to feel the same way i did at that very moment. :)
...last love you lolo especially lola!!
