What I've learned yesterday-.

I need to instill this one on me so I am writing this down. I need to grow. Grow and evolve. Persist. I am human after all. I need to push the limits. Move out of my comfort zone and do things I've never done before. I know what I need to do. and what i want to do. I know what I should improve, remove and what should I keep.

 I'm eyeing something for myself.. a gift for myself. I know it's 6 months too early for my birthday but never the less.. I think buying that thing would really take my mind of some things.. maybe not most.. but it would be a great help. I could start all over again. Well, I really don't mind. So, I decided to buy me that gift this week. Probably friday. Yes I am excited. And after that.. I guess I'm off to be thrifty in ways you couldn't have imagine. And i'll be saving again.. even if i really don't have that much reason to this time.. uhm, the last time i had one such great reason to save money. Now.. I don't know..

Speaking of moving out of my comfort zone and doing things I've never done before. I manage to help a total stranger today. I saw him a long time ago, He was a blind man. The first time i saw him i felt pity for him. Why would be a blind man be walking down the road full of vendors, vehicles and not to mention trucks passing by litex road at night. It's dangerous to be walking around a busy road with no vision at all.. During that time.. I cared but I never cared to help and do something to help him.  I must have seen him 3 or 4 times but the idea to help him never went through my head.  Later did I know that he rides the same tricycle i take when going home.

Today, When I saw him as i alight the bus.. I decided to help him. So, I approached him and asked him to let me.. guide his way up to the tricycle station. He replied with a yes and held on to my arms. and with the other hand.. he held his retractable stick. The tricycle station is around 3 blocks down the road so I had ample time to talk to him while I guided him through a maze of sidewalk carts, vehicles and vendors. He goes by the name of Mang erning.. He works at isetann quiapo as a masahista. And he goes to work everyday. And with those things in mind. My pity for him changed to admiration. This guy is awesome. Blind as he is. He never saw darkness in life. Instead he wakes up every morning to work for his family. Even if it's a long travel. Even if it is dangerous. I think it's just right that he receives my help even if it's just the simplest way of being able to go home safely.. As i bid him farewell tonight. I felt different. I don't know what it is but I felt good helping him.. it's my first time to do something like this.. help a total stranger.. The next time i see him. I'd definitely do the same thing..

well, everybody needs help. sinu bang hindi? diba lahat naman tayo..
