There are still good people around. And I can attest to that.
Yesterday, I bought a photo album. It’s supposed to be my daughter’s third to finally put her latest pictures. I was not feeling well yesterday so I went first to Clinica Manila for a check-up. (I was diagnosed with Acute Gastritis…arrrgh!!!). After that, I went to the drugstore to buy the prescribed medicines. Then I headed to the shuttle station for my way home. I was in deep contemplation, thinking about several things and texting my husband (It was raining kaya medyo maganda, mag-isip isip… ), when I noticed I was already at Marikina Market. I immediately got off… totally forgot about the album I bought.
I spent some time in the market. Bought some to cook for dinner and other things needed in the kitchen. I was crossing the street when I noticed a white L300 honking its horn incessantly... I have no idea why or who's attention is he trying to get. It was still raining so I ran across and immediately got into the tricycle waiting on the station. I just got in when a man approached me... “Mam, sa inyo po ba ito?” then handed me a blue SM plastic bag and ran back to the white L300. I was surprised! I haven’t even got the chance to say thank you. The passenger beside me muttered, “Buti na lang mabait siya…” And she’s right.
On my past two experiences, the drivers didn’t even bother to return the items I left even if they knew where to return them. I had it twice in a tricycle. Items left are a blouse (which I really like and a bit pricey) and an umbrella. But this time was different…It’s not really a BIG thing. It was just an album. Yet I am really thankful. He even made an effort to left his car and ran after me to give back the item. Few good people indeed.
But come to think of it? It was also amazing, right? Who would have thought that he could still catch me to give the item back? Well, God really moves even in small things and events of our everyday lives.

during times like this we have to be grateful for little blessings. it's when we are shown little miracles that we see hope for the future. i guess it's your turn to pay it forward then. =D
take care and God bless!
People like that are rare. Doing good and asking for nothing in return. If only everyone would be like that, the world would be a better place. Tama si Yette, just pay it forward and hope that they'll pay it forward too.
katuwa yung experience mo mhay! it's really inspiring to hread na may mga tao pang ganyan. gayahin natin para dumami pa ang mga tulad nila.
wow! kakatuwa naman. at least kahit ang daming masasamang tao, meron pa din mabubuti. and i agree with them, pay it forward, para dumami tayong mababait. :)
