blog #4:the simple things

[c2life]

    when i was a kid my parents always told me to appreciate what i have and all that other things parents tell their children all the time.  up until now, i never really listened or believed what they said. it was probably because of my immaturity or my being used to the good life and not seeing the other side of everything. it is only now

As you may have read from my blog entry this week, I too had an encounter with street children just outside of Jollibee. The only difference between us was that I'm pretty used to it and I've learned how to relate to them; touch their lives even in the simplest way i can. I know you haven't been exposed to this too much considering you lived quite a sheltered life before college. So, as someone who's been exposed to this reality since birth, I can assure you you'll someday learn to relate to these poor people as well and, trust me, it will be very fulfilling. ;)
