This boastful smuck talked to me like he knew it all. "It doesnt work that way now mimi" imposing a "Hail me!" tone (though I was just reading it on facebook but I'm just that great so I'm certain about it). It almost ruined my day. But then again, after reading it again, it didn't. :)
I saw one of my facebook friend post a status asking for help on how to get a passport in a flash, aparently this guy doesn't want to do it normally like getting an appointment on-line. So as an act of random kindness I gave him the best advise I know (that happened to be effective to people I know). I told him "process it with a travel agency _ _ _ _. " We were in the same industry so I was quite confident that, well yea, he might agree. But instead I got boasted on, and it looked like I don't have an idea of what I am blabbering about.
A normal human reaction, I was like "ang yabang nitong gagong to ah." But thank God my good 'ol friend conscience was there to remind me, that I was the one who offered help, and he doesn't owe me anything, so I better suck it up, and move on.
There are times that these simple things like this can hurt us. Maybe not the type that we will be moping on for the next 24 hours, but reached the point to make us feel bad. Simple example for a bigger scenario, that when you showed someone you cared and was dismissed you feel bad about it, because the caring you gave is not acceptable to them.
My dad always told me when I was still a kid, "ang importante, nakatulong ka.." and I used to always advise it to people as well. That when we give something away, give it with heart and never complain. Take the risk and accept.
One goodness at a time, things we can do to make a better world to live in. :)
