Have you felt it?

Have you felt it? ... The chills caused by december breeze?
Can you hear them? ...The children caroling ?
Have you seen it? ...christmas presents and bundles of joys?

Me? I haven't...
But not until what I encountered in my journey with my hyskul friends from SM...

Rog, Maresheen, Karen, Rhea, and I were in a hurry to ride a jeep.. we were actually gonna attend a bday/reunion/despidida party at Christin Reckard's crib..
It was already 6 pm and we all have our own curfews...

we rode a 12G jeepney and it was soooooo stinkin BAAHHHOOOO....!!! uuhhhmmm... there was actually tae in the jeep.. though we wanted to transfer to another jeep, there's no other choice but to stay. Or else, we can' t make it in the party... UURRRGGG....darn the smelly shit(tae na hap) in the jeep....

Wen we passed by city hospital, a ragged woman w/ a crying child got in the jeep. She chose to sit beside  me, near the driver..

the very skinny Child was so uneasy... she never stopped crying, her mom was really in trouble of holding on the kid... Maresheen asked for my Paipai and fanned the child to help relieve her unknown pain...

The sight of the very lowly mother and the crying child torn my heart so badly... the child kept crying and crying...the smell or the shit was no longer in our mind... all the focus was with the  mother and child...

The driver was so pissed off with the child... he shouted "HOy NAUG NAMO! SAMOKA ANANG BATAA OI SABA KAAYO!"...

aaahhhhrrrr.... damn the driver! the words are so sharp and painful! how could he!!  natameme kaming mga girls....

Karen thought of a suggestion that we put out 20 pesos each from our pockets and give it to the woman... The woman was about to hand her fair(P5 pesos w/c is kulang ra), but we returned it to her and we paid for it instead....

The woman hurriedly went out the jeepney maybe because she noticed that we're about to give something to her.....

MY HEART WAS COMPLETELY MESSED with the thought of the woman and the child....
i kept on complaining on alot of  very trivial things... but i never thought how lucky i am with my disposition.

a lot suffer, a lot are in pain... it's christmas, but presence are nowhere for them to be seen....


Have you felt it?
it's not with the season...
not with the merry making...
neither the wishlist for santa clause...

The mother and child was in a lowly situation...Jesus was born in a most lowly situation...
they have this as their commonality...

christmas was supposed to be sharing and not receiving...

But the feeling of Generosity is imperceptible.... blurry, slowly fading away....

...Have you felt it ???
