sa makati may nakita rin ako. lola na, kaya lang sosyal kasi nung dumaan ako sa pwesto nya sabi nya “good morning sir, piso lang sir.” hahaha. yang mga pulibi talaga. sinisira nila ang pangalan ng mga tunay na pulubi. yung tunay na nangangailangan. hindi lahat tulad nila. tsk tsk stk

this post made me smile too by the end of it. but then, i felt sad that some people fool other people. and the saddest? they don’t change. never.

i don’t give alms to beggars too sometimes. it depends upon my mood and if that beggar seems to be capable of working still.

and, natuwa ako sa beggar na may retainer. sosyal ha, as in! wanna see one of em. haha! (:

mr. president, hindi kaya mas mayayaman talaga ang pulubi sa makati?

sej, yes, it's unfortunate that at these hard times, some people choose to fool others. i hope they would change. and when you see one of those sosi beggars, it would surely lighten you up.

i only give alms to old people. usually anything that could be eaten or used. i once gave a kumot to an old man na tambay sa school near our house. basta anything na pwedeng makain i gave him before i go to work. sobrang naawa ako sa kanya kasi he’s so thin. he just disappeared one day. i dont want to think that something bad happened to him. sana he’s ok somewhere.

tungkol sa pulubing sosyal hahaha. this reminds me of bubble gang’s muchas grasas. sila michael v etc mga pulubing conyo. ang kulit nila! somehow based on true story pala yun hehehehehe

i actually prefer giving slippers to little children. and coloring books. and to the oldies, i give them food and money (just in case they have to buy medicines).

baka taga legaspi village yung muchas grasas. haha.

Mahirap talaga tigasan ang puso lalo na pag bata ang namamalimos. Minsan nga lang, iisipin mo na baka sa masama napupunta ang pera. Haay… dapat nag aaral ang mga batang yon…

kg, oo nga e. ang gagawin mo na lang minsan wag lumingon. dilema talaga yan.

well, we can’t really blame the children, though they can have ways how to go to school on their own.. i think their parents should be held responsible for them. tsk! sad reality.

We try not to give money. We buy some crackers or bread and give these instead.

Kakatuwa naman yung may reatiners.

one time sa one san miguel, somebody came knocking sa car window. i gave the woman my half-eaten tuna turnover. when she saw it was half-eaten, she threw it away hooray for fake beggars! i mean, real beggars can’t be choosers, right?

Haha! Sobrang natawa ako dun sa beggar with retainers. =) It’s true, we need to look at the situation in a different way no matter how unenjoyable it is. Keep the positivity.

more annoying beggars:

a. those insistent ones who pull your white shirt with their dirty hand if you dont give them a penny.
b. those who hit your car with a stick or a toy if you say you have nothing to give them.
c. those with obviously rehearsed speech (te, pangkain lang po, maysakit kapatid ko, pang-rugby po haha)
d. those with dirty hands who leave gross marks on your car window.
e. those who come in group and block your way.
f. those who were already given Php5 yet they ask for more.
why did you commute in the first place mordsith? coding?

That beggar having retainers is a funny picture, cool… bakit ba ganyan na ka-desperado ang ibang tao sa paghahanap ng mapagkukunan ng pera o pagkain, they’re destroying the image of the Filipinos by pretending to be beggars…They’re too lazy to stretch bones and muscles to work… nakakainis ano?

ganyan talaga ang PUV sa manila. mas siksikan yan lalo na kapag maulan. ilang beses na rin ako naipit, at naapakan. kahit aircon, ang siksikan talaga nakakasuffocate.

sa manglilimos naman, dito sa bicol nagkaroon ako ng encounter. bagong kulot pa lang ang buhok nya. baka yung pinanglimos nya, pinang-salon nya. sozzy di ba? hindi ko na sya nakikita dito sa province, i hope she’s ok.

:)

Buti pa si X2 nakapagpa-retainers. I’m still saving up to get a set. Haha. Syndicate nga malamang may hawak nyan sa Makati. Ask mo si Spider Pig [pang-bonding nyo na din], may kilala daw shang higher-up sa ganyang operations. Kulit db. Hehe. =)

rico: konting limos na lang, magkaka-braces na siya like you. haha

mai: if you give me a half-eaten tuna, i wont throw it away. promise.

wits: yeah, im wishing id have more of this positive attitude. sometimes, i get impatient.

kooonin: add this to your list, rugby boys. haha. i figured it would be more efficient for me to commute (ie, no need to find parking space, no need to figure out one-way streets, etc.)

sheng: kaya nga. there are really some old people (those who walk very slowly) who still work or sell things. marami talagang kamag-anak si juan tamad.

spiky: baka nagpa-straight na ng buhok kaya di mo makilala. ang sosyal naman niya! baka kulang lang siya ng pambili ng makeup. haha

pulot: ask mo naman siya pag sumabay siya sayo pauwi.

hehhehe awww mabuti you woke up with a good mood

haha. oo nga, louraine. and it lasted until the end of the day.

hehehhe aww.. cge loved to xlinks with you.. check mo lang sa site ko add kita..

take care

God bless

ahihihih

sus read ko ulit sa taas hehehhe.. was really one hilarious day!..

at least you have managed it well and make a joke out from it

haha! goog point. tawanan nlng natin ang mga bagay2 para masaya. iwas wrinkles pa. oh dba bongga! hehe..

Baka kailangan niya (pulubi with retainers) pang sturbucks that day hehehehe, susyal!

On buses - worse sa provincial buses. One time, I spent 1.5 hours standing in the middle of a jam-packed bus, in heels and skirt, from Victoria to Calamba, Laguna.

On beggars - that retainer bit is funny. One time, sa Baclaran, I gave this boy some coins just because he’s so persistent; tiningnan ako masama, tapos sabi “Grabe, ang kuripot naman!” I was actually mildly amused, he he he

thanks everyone for the comments!

on buses - i wish we could have better transportation systems, such as more MRTs, within Metro Manila and across the nation, with Philippines being an archipelago. It would be great for commuters and on a larger scale for the economy.

on beggars - no matter how irritating they are, their still kids, and the government and the society (us) should do the best we can to keep them out of the streets and into the classrooms. still, we already have our hands full of problems. so, it would be best for parents to understand the importance of family planning. if you know you wont be able to raise your children well, wait until you are ready; thus, work hard.

hello…

It did not change your mood….if that happen t me naku baka nainis na ko (my bad) hahaha!

have a nice day

yeah, jeanny, it’s a miracle that i stayed in a good mood. haha.

aba at sosyal naka retainer pa! Astig na bata yun ah! hahaha….

haha! yan mismo ang naisip ko.

HeLLo! I enjoyed reading your post.
Your encounter with beggars gave me an idea on what to write in my sociological inquiry. Thanks!

oh, and with the buses… nakakainis kaya yung kunduktor na tawag ng tawag ng pasahero tapos sinasabing maluwag pa pero pag-akyat mo ng bus, sabit ka na lang pala. haha

thanks and glad you got an idea from my experience with them. at least we got something from them! haha.
