What makes me sad?
Anything can make you sad. Sometimes you can feel sad without any reason at all. Different things make different people sad. However, for me sadness strikes whenever I feel alone because sometimes even if we have a lot of friends, out of nowhere we just sad and alone. Thinking that these people beside me will gonna go away or maybe leave me. But this is just one thing of what making me sad. Last week, I and my senior high school friend planned that we’ll meet up before she will go to Davao for school. It makes me happy knowing that I am able to see her again for a very long time. The last time I saw her was at her birthday. Before that plan, she told me the truth that she was going to surprise me but unfortunately I chatted her before the day she was going to surprise me. The fact that she really have the effort to do that thing for me. It makes me happy because small efforts means a lot. The day that we gonna meet up, I was really excited and nervous maybe mixed emotions, going back to the past, she was my crush during senior high school years and I didn’t expect that we gonna end up being friends maybe that case we are close friends, that is just a lucky of me that my crush is my close friend. Suddenly she chatted me that her mother is angry in the middle of nowhere at their house, that point knowing a half story of their family, I had some feeling that the plan will gonna break. I was right, she chatted me again that she can’t go to meet me up because of her mother is angry. You know that you’re expecting for her to go but destiny doesn’t want to. That really hurt me and made me sad. Sometimes, expecting too much gonna end up hurting yourself. Last Thursday, when I was going to school, everyday I am commuting I always ride a van going to school, so I had an encounter which when I was going inside to the van there was a man begging for some money “ngayo ko kwarta” “palit nako pagkaon” early in the morning he was begging for help, it pinch my heart because he was doing it just feed his hungry stomach, I wasn’t able to give him a small help because I’m in the corner of the van and it’s so hard to get money from my pocket. I saw his face and saw the face of a hungry old man begging for help, my heart is so sensitive when it comes to this situation or whenever I encounter this phenomena. I just look to the other side of the van to avoid seeing him because I was really sad that no one gives him some money for food to eat. I don’t want to cry in public. We are so lucky that we can able to eat three meals in a day, and other people out there begging for food, and we just wasted some of our food if we don’t want it. I hate seeing people in the street, especially old man and woman, sitting beside had a can in front and just wait for someone that will put some coins inside the can.
