Well i got back since like 30 mins ago. Went to safeway to get some roses for the altar & i bought mango cus it was 10 for 10. Then my mom told me to pay for the whole thing she got & i got. She was tryna pay me back but i told her its okay. Haha. I mean its nothing big.

But anyways, we got home. I sliced some mango & dipped it on aramang. I dont know if yall know it but Filipino or Ilocano people knows what im talking about. Haha. But yeah i was watching tv & i was really amazed.

There was this one lady. She is a doctor & she has a cancer & it is now stage 4. But she is like an inspiration because even though she has sickness, she traveled all the way to the mountain to help out the poor people. To check up on them, give them medicine, & cure for there sickness atleast. She does it for free and help out people that are in need. She said “Im putting those kids in college and when im gone, one of them is gonna take my place & be an administrator. Even if i die, atleast i made a huge impact on people’s lives and made them happy.” From there, i got teary eyed. People from the mountain said alot of them had suffered from pneumonia, malaria & so on. It made me tear up because the people from the mountain says “alot of kids die everyday, because we are too poor to go to the hospital and its too far to go back down. We just use herbs to cure their sickness and if we cant do anything about it, we just wait till its there time because we dont have any money. We dont even eat everyday. ” Looking at the kids, they are so skinny, dont have any clothes. Their house is all teared up, dont have bed at all. It made me realized how lucky i am. &That i spend money like its nothing while others are dying & dont have nothing at all. I wanna go to Philippines one day & help out these people. I may not give them everything, but i wanna help them out atleast. Give them food, clothes & money. But what caught my eye was, the little kids was holding a Bible, & they are really close to God. No matter what happened, they still live on. They still manage to get some food & keep there famly all together. Because we all know, that money cant buy happiness. The bonding & unconditional love you have with your whole famly is what matters.

Seeing those kids, made me realized that education is very important. One day, when i get a good job which i know i will because im striving for it, i will help all these kids & people that are in need. I wanna put a smile on their face, i may not be able to give them the best thing in life but a little help can make a difference.

Lemme share a lil story. When New Year 2011 hit, it’d wake up everyday & every morning. My mom & i go out to give money to the homeless people. & Seeing them with the biggest smile, made my day even more better. Even though i was lazy to get up at times, i forced myself to get up. Because it reminded me those smiles they had. I know most of them dont have any shelter to live like i do, so i didnt wanna delay getting up. Atleast they have money to buy food. To feed their empty stomach. & I miss doing that with my mom. But if i see them again or see any homeless people, it wont be a problem giving them money. Because helping other people out is good. Not only it makes you feel good but knowing that by the end of the day, you made someone happy even if it just for a little bit. A smile can make people’s day especially when their having a bad day. So always keep a smile on your face yall, you never know, you might make someone’s day better. You just never know. (:
