It’s been like agesss since I wrote an entry where I can share lessons to those people who drop by my blog. My life’s been boring for the past few months. I just stay at home and prepare for that big time exam.

When I started blogging, all I ever wanted is to blog about my personal life but when I entered the nursing world, I realized that I can share the things I learn through blogging. One of my childhood dreams is to be a teacher. I wanted to teach people the good things that I have learned from my parents plus the lessons I have learned in school and in my personal life. It’s like when I share these touching stories, I feel fulfilled. And when those people who read my blog learn from my entries, it makes me happy. It may be a simple thing for all of you but for me, it means so much.

One of my members in my own forum asked me to fill this up: I love myself for being ________. I answered, I love myself for being real and righteous. When I am put in a complicated situation, I always consider the right thing to do. It’s because it’s just the right thing to do. But sometimes, when you do the right thing, you can also hurt a person, right? This morning, when I attended the mass the priest talked about helping people. We were always taught in school to help the ones who are in need and yes, I do that whenever possible. But what about those people who are in the streets asking for money or alms? To tell you the truth, I do not give them money. It’s because I know and I feel that they would either use it in buying drugs or alcohol or in gambling. Agree? Before, we just help those unfortunate ones using our compassionate hearts but now, we also use our clever minds. My mom told us (me and my siblings) not to give them money but food instead. I do that from time to time. I usually give my baon (sandwich) when I see them. This reminds me of this old man whom I think has Parkinson’s Disease. I always see him in the market whenever I go to the FX terminal near the market. He’s always there in the market, walking with shuffling gait and asking for alms. Next time, I’ll leave the house, I would bring a sandwich!

Helping is not a difficult thing to do that requires a degree. You can do it in many ways that you like. Anyone can help anybody and by doing this, you are not just making that person happy but also, God. =)
