Hopeful...


Little acts of kindness make me think that there is still hope for our country... for the Philippines. Small acts of goodness make the world go round positively. Good acts which may seem trivial keep me optimistic, make me smile, inspire me to do good too, even if there is no reward.

While riding the FX on my daily commute to school, I saw one guy who was supposed to ride the FX gave up his place for a family to occupy. Quite a good deed, expecting nothing in return. Yes, the guy may be late, but the gentlemanly act however small is really good. Start the day right. Nice to see good things in an evil materialistic world. People using pedestrian lanes, throwing trash on trash bins, cars giving way to another... how i wish everyone could be a little selfless.

p.s.
rainbow photographed while going home from Antipolo. Quite rare to see rainbows nowadays.

That's why it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular. It's so soothing to know that there's still poeple believing that there's hope when we everybody's fighting over money and power.

Note: Ganda nung rainbow...edited sa photoshop?

well...somebody gotta be optimistic. when one does good, we may be inspired to do good too. when one is hopeful, some people become hopeful too. haaay.. buti there are still a few good men.

ung rainbow pic, medyo inayos ko lang ung kulay kasi medyo hapon na. pero ung major adjustment dyan ay ung pagtanggal ko nung kawad ng kuryente
