Here goes!! What I'm gonna share with you now is the true meaning of Xmas... Wala lng!! I've been going around recognizing the streets of Manila filled with children who sings xmas songs while jeepney drivers just tries to scare them away by speeding by... Its kinda rude right? Simulan ko sa nakakaasar na things na naobserve ko around me... I hate it when people use kids to work for money... I mean... Why do they need to be on the sidewalk, children of maybe 3 to 4 years old? The one's who can't write? They're holding a box with "Merry Xmas po kahit barya lng po" ( I implied knina the one's who couldn't write kc the kids are holding boxes with writings... Meaning they were asked to beg for money by someone older... Kc the kids nga can't write d ba? Someone wrote those messages for the kids... Im didnt mean to be judgemental... Forgive me for that statement about writing... ) and they're just sitting there with no adult near or watching them. What if something happens to them? Im talking about places where there are crowds of people (LRT stations, subways, overpass, even outside d malls)!! This kids as little and as innocent as they are, are prawn to accidents and injuries and do you think a few peso can replace the health of this children? I dont think so... D ko alam what's happenin to people today... And Im really not interested to know... They're using the innocence of children and taking advantage of them to gain a few peso... Not mentioning the children's health are endagered in the process... Hay... I just hate it when people take advantage of such holidays like Xmas to earn money in their selfish ways... I can understand na naghihirap country ntin... And job opportunity is extremely low... But that's no valid excuse... No money can ever replace the welfare and safety of an individual especially when it comes to using the innocence of the children just to gain a few peso... Basta asar ako sa gnun... Friends and people (mostly strangers) I go along with at the jeep have always asked me whenever I give money sa mga nanlilimos "Anne dapat d mo binibigyan mga gnun..." or " your just making them dependent on what you give" or "Bat mo binigyan? Dapat d ka naaawa sa mga gnun". I would just like to clear things up... It's not pity or making them dependent to what I give is the reason on why I give... I choose rin whom I give... Let me tell you a story (its been past 2 weeks )... I remember this kid... He was with his father, and his father is awfully sick as in people at the vehicle stays away from them. Ako naman all I could do was look at the kid... He's skinny and covered with grasa? His father naman can't walk straight, and talks randomly... All I can say tlga sa kid is... Grabe sya magalaga sa dad nya... His dad i think has a  mental disorder ata... But the kid... D sya naiinis, napipikon, nahihiya or khit un politeness nya d nawala... Natuwa me dun sa kid tlga... He was extraordinary tlga... Lahat ng nsa vehicle tlga lumayo xkanila and tinitignan ng masama un dalawa... Some even covers their nose and stares blankly at them. My head was really boiling nun time na un... Asar na asar ako... Bat tong mga mayayaman na toh na may kaya... Prang cla pa un walang manners by treating the kid and his father like dat... It's as if they're outcasts... Bat tong batang toh na ang meron lng sya is unwashed clothes, a watch and mga barya barya in a cup... He even don't know how to read signs ha(I helped him get off the jeep kc... He asked if I can help him by pointing where Doctor *IFORGOTHISNAME* Clinic is... Bat un batang un pa un may manners... Bat sya pa un gnun un ugali... I was even more touched when the kid told the jeepney driver "Kuya, wala na po kc ako pambili ng gamot pag pinambayad ko po tong pera namin... Pwede po bang etong relo ko na lng?". Can you imagine that? The watch may be the only material possession that the kid has, and his willing to use it as payment just to help his father go to a clinic... That's the time na d na ako tumahimik at naging neutral dun... I sat up approached the kid and sat beside him then paid for the kids fare... Shinare ko din half ng allowance ko... I dont need it naman e... Kadalasan half lng ng allowance ko nagagastos ko... Haha I dont eat much din kc X_X Well, I know what I did was not even close to what the kid did who was willing to give everything he owns pra lng sa welfare at health ng dad nya... But atleast I was willing to give some of what I have... Yun ung point ng pagbibigay xken... I give to people... Un mga d rude na people... Some of what I have... Hindi naman masama d ba... Im not making them dependent... I just want to help out in any way I could... Un ung difference ng kid tsaka ako... Ako... I try to help in ANY way I could... But that extraordinary kid? He helped his father in EVERY way he could...

There's a world of difference that can be found

in helping in any way we could

than in helping every way we could.

Grabe I was touched tlga dat day... For me what that kid did will always reminds me of what Xmas should be... Its caring for the people closest to your heart... Its giving them the most special gift that we could give them, LOVE... It's doing everything we could just to provide them their sweetest smiles back... It's thinking of their welfare above everything else... Xmas is not about the >>self<<... Its focus is about the self-LESS. That kid loved his father unconditionally... Imagine taking care of somebody a lot older than you. Being shouted at by someone you whole-mightedly (there's no such word I know hehe) carry at ur back... Being abhorred by people because of your condition and status. But still have the heart to pay respect to his father and the people around him (who mistreats them) that much? Instead na i blame nya un father nya sa present condition nila or kamuhian un father nya... He still respected his father and cared for him with everything that he have. That must be LOVE right? Now, compare it to the parents of the children who just leaves them somewhere and make them beg alms for change. Do you see Love der? I guess alam nyo na un sagot dun... ^_^

In a world governed by money and currency

Only one thing is freely given

And that one thing is LOVE

As rare as it is

It is the only thing that's hard to say no to

It's as free and as splendid as the sunrise

Its grandeur is never exceeded and its second to nothing

Love conquers all... So as they say ^_^

Ge that would be all!! Spread love this holiday!!Its the greatest news that God wanted all of us to hear ^_^ Merry Xmas to you all!! Sana maging masaya kayo sa sari sarili nyong celebrations ^_^ Tnx for reading ^_^  

PS: Sorry for everyone that I've sinned against dis year... Sorry too for everyone that got affected... A Merry Xmas to all of you... Kahit gano ako magsisi sa mga ginawa ko... I know I cant take back what I've done... I know I cant undo the past... All I can offer is my most sincere apologies... Sorry tlga...
