Pass It Forward
It was at this time of the year when I posted something about being lucky. I was lucky because I was given a gift to travel to Japan last summer. This year, it is different. Since I already spent the monetary gift I got by purchasing myself a plane ticket when I attended a teaching conference in Singapore, I am staying in Thailand for a longer period during my summer break. It gives me some time to do nothing but tend the garden.
Since I celebrated my teaching anniversary this month, I also got myself something to reward myself of my hard work. It wasn't a trip to visit another part of the globe but it had something to do with travelling as well. It is parked in the garage.
With the quietness of my homestay, I wanted to do something different in order to share the things I have. Apart from writing the entry on Restoring Faith, I decided to walk around and give something to random people on the streets of Bangkok. I do not have a lot since I already spent it on something grand but I can still give a part of what I have so as I can do something worthy.
If I could help one or two persons then it is far better than thinking of helping everybody which is an impossibility. An act of kindness to a few people creates a cycle of good deeds. And even if I have no material things to share, a smile or some words of encouragement to my friends are priceless. Have you done your share today?

It feels good to freely give without asking anything in return :) Plus, the more you give, the more you receive :D :D
Thanks
Tama kayo tungkol sa pagtulong. Walang maliit or malaki, ang importante bukal ito mula sa ating puso. At ang pag-ngiti ang isa sa pinaka inexpensive na paraan para maiparating mo sa isang tao na ikaw ay dumadamay sa kanya.
Just a smile can brighten someone's day. It makes the person feel that somebody loves and believes in him.
Out of the blue, I decided to be in awe by giving something in return. Since I am in Bangkok for most of my summer, I thought of doing something different, thus the sharing. Hopefully, I could stay at peace with myself even with troubles around me.
I remember a post I had during Valentine's Day about how a smile can warm the hearts of people. I am often reminded by that small gesture. So here is one for you :)
Today I read on Facebook,
"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." -Dalai Lama.
Siguradong tumataba na naman po ang mga halaman nyo Sir Jo. Sa tingin ko, nagdudulot ng kakaibang kaligayahan ang pagiging kuntento at paggawa ng maliliit na mga bagay.
"Parked in the garage"? Tama ba naiisip ko? Tara, roadtrip na! :D
Yun ngang nagtatanim ako, nag save ng mga munting halaman to grow eh kabutihan na rin para sa Mother Earth.
Little things make me happy!
Roadtrip, sige saan? Sumama ka na kasi!
ni-nominate pala kita sa Lobster este Liebster Award.hehe andun sa blog ko yung mga tanong.
Sayang, gusto ko sana sumama kaso late na. Tsaka di rin ako pwede talaga kasi I'm in the middle of a career change right now, so madaming aasikasuhin. I'll just meet you after your trip to Palawan with Babykat. Hehe
