i was on my way to robinsons today.. i left my place at exactly 12 noon.. i got a ride at 12:20.. as the jeepney was moving along its course.. it stopped by at a street after santana drive.. this guy came in and sat down at the seat nearest to the driver.. when i saw him.. a lot of things rushed into my mind.. judging by his looks.. he hasnt eaten yet.. havent had a good nights because of problems.. barely had any possession and im not even sure if he works.. he was simply dressed and acts as if he barely has conciousness.. slow reaction.. slow movements.. as if high on drugs.. i was observing him.. when i went to focus on listening to music.. i noticed a one peso coin on his left side.. the kid on his left also noticed it.. the kid's mother urged her to return it to the man.. when the kid told the old man bout the coin.. he didnt notice it at first and he paid very little attention to what the kid said.. the second time the kid told him about the coin he smiled and gave the coin to the kid.. when he came to his stopover.. he got in his pocket the money he had.. which i think wouldnt even be enough for a meal..  he got nearly 1/2 of his money left and smiled and the kid and said.. "eto oh" with a smile and without the slightest trace of hesitation.. he gave willingly...

giving.. in the point of nothingness.. without hesitation.. as if of no value to him.. such generosity.. he had nothing to offer but still gave.. sacrificing his own.. in exchange for nothing..
