“Kanina habang kumakain ako at ng kapatid ko sa Chowking, napansin ko tong bata sa labas na panay ang tingin sa mga kumakain sa loob.Akala ko mga batang nagmamalimos, until I saw na may hawak syang basahan at tinitinda pala nya sa labas.
Di alintana ang inti sa labas basta makapaghanaybuhay lang.
Dito ko na-realize na napakablessed ko pa din pala despite sa mga pinagdadaanan ko. Meron pala talagang mas naghihirap pa sa sitwasyon ko na wala sa option yung magreklamo.
Kudos sayo bata, magpatuloy ka lang. Hindi habambuhay na andyan ka sa ganyang sitwasyon. Sana kahit sa konting naiabot kong ‘to, naibsan yong uhaw at gutom na meron ka sa oras na to.”
