It’s been awhile 😊 commuting be like 😎🙏🏼 #Saulog #busRide #bakasyonNiDudong

Now I'm starting to loosen up. I am starting to know more about people too. This past week is something. Monday: Every school day, I wait for my bus at the Rizal Park bus stop. If before I feel so alone, now I have company, or atleast someone I know. I do not know yet what his name is but he is 'manong manlalako' who steps in buses to sell nuts. An ordinary one who helps me in some way. Wednesday: It's ash wednesday and I went to school at 9 because my class is at 10. Kuya Nilo, the jeepney barker at the Coastal Mall terminal asked me, "Tanghali ka na ata. Hindi ka ba male-late? Saan ka ngayon?" Him referring whether I'm taking the Taft or Mabini jeep. Just the thoyght of him being concern about the passengers is marvelous. Where else can you find a stranger like him talj to you frequently? Yet, another ordinary one who helps me in his own way. Thursday: Typical day. We were dismissed at 7 in the evening which was really supposed to be at 8pm. While I was waiting for a tricycle ride home, I recognize or should I say one driver recognized me. He immediately told me as I ride in, "Lumalaro ka pa ba? Di ba ikaw yunh taga St. John? Naihatid na kita dati e." With him asking these, I atleast had less to worry. Atleast, I know I'm safe and in good hands. Still, another ordinary person who had helped me in some ways. Saturday: Again, on the way home. I've been waiting for a Ternate bus for almost half an hour when Saulog 71767 arrived at the bus stop. I was surprised because 'kuyang kundoktor' was the one in the 71711 bus. I asked him, "Kuya bakit wala ka na sa 711?" Then he answered, "Ah, naki-extra lang ako don. Wala kasi driver ko." Then he smiled. He recognized me too. Same as the 71762 driver who waves at me every morning as he sees me. Help they give once more through little ways. Point is, every time of ever day, I am touching and affecting one's life and in exchange, they are affecting my life too. As small as the help they're giving me, it is still overwhelming that they are aware that I exist. That I am part of them and they are a part of me. I believe that every people in this world means something to someone.

Aminin ko man o hindi, maniwala man kayo o hindi, real talk to. Medyo weird pero for sure kung sakaling matuloy ako magdorm mamimiss ko tong mga taong sa mukha ko lang kilala pero parang hindi na rin naman iba.
