PAST TWO WEEKS

Past two weeks already since i promised the street children to be back after the day we met.

It was just a normal day. Me and my wife met at Country Mall(Cebu, Philippines) after work. I suggested to her that we will have our dinner at a carenderia where we met Jean(street kid).

While walking to the jeep stop a street kid(he is about 12 years old) asked me for food, so i gave him 5 pesos and told him to buy food. When were on the on the overpass we saw the him sitting on the floor with a friend whose about 8 years old. When were near to them I realized he bought a biscuit out of the 5 pesos i gave. While he is opening the biscuit i told them to get up because we will be buying them food.

Me and my wife bought them 2 hamburgers, 2 drumstick fried chickens, and 10 puso (rice in a bamboo leaf) and a 12 oz. softdrink.

I was so happy when I gave it to them. They said thank you.

After that, we rode a jeep going to the carenderia. In the carenderia, while waiting for our dinner to be served there was a boy outside looking but not asking  for food. I stood up and talk to the boy.

I forgot his name. I asked him if Jean is his friend and he told me yes. To be continued. I have to go.

HUNGRY CHILDREN

This is from my early blogs. Please read.


While im typing this I felt like crying, I felt like I am very selfish.

I promised to myself that before Christmas of 2008 I would save 2,000 pesos and buy food for the street children in Cebu City. I made it as challenged so that i can prove something to myself in the midst of crisis.

It was December of 2008 already and havn't save any but Im still confident to fulfill my promise since the Bunos will be released before Christmas.

I am not proud to tell you that til now I have not fulfilled my promise. And it bothers me sometimes.

I am in the office and Im going home now, and if ever I can see hungry children on the street tonight I will surely buy them food.
