Elitists, again.
I went home late tonight. Late, meaning 8:00 pm because I watched the mini Bandaid in school. The bus operators were asked to bring us home even at that time--this is the reason why I joined my friends in the Mini-Bandaid thing.
Some of my busmates went to McDo to fill their hungry tummies with fries while two of my junior busmates, me, Jed and DomB(she's not my busmate, nakisabay lang) stayed inside the bus. I was hungry but I was so tired that I'd rather stay and slack off inside the bus. You know McDo Commonwealth, right? Maraming street children 'yung andun sa labas. My heart really breaks everytime I see children like them; especially a while ago, when I saw two kids, holding leftover fries which were apparently given to them by a kind someone. The two kids that I saw were siblings and they were sampaguita kids. What really moved me is the way how the boy (prolly a Kuya) held his younger sister in his thin arms for protection against the coming vehicle; and how he wanted to protect his sister from the drizzle. The boy was starving but he let his sister have the fries that they had and I saw that as he watched his sister, his eyes were filled with delight for his sister is being at least satisfied and filled. This scene again.
I don't know what's with me that I'm always moved with these kinds of scenarios and sometimes, I am just so moved that I cry. Stupid schmaltzy me.
This was what changed my mood while I'm in the bus. When our bus started moving, a dirty street child went near the bus' windows and went close to one of my junior busmates(there were 2 of them). You know what she did? She looked at the boy with extreme disgust very obvious in her face, leaned forward to avoid being close to the boy and she cried out: YUCKS!
I know the boy was disgusting in physical appearance but is it right to act that way? Talk about humility and respect for that person. Yeah, they're gross and you're very damn fortunate and blessed not to be one of them, starving and feeling the cold air without a decent home to sleep in. Yeah, true, yuck talaga but do you have to cry it out and let the person know how you feel for him? I think what she has done is plain immature and so unbecoming of what our Alma Mater wants us to be. She could have just stayed silent and apathetic kuno.
How elitist. So unbecoming of a good Christian Filipina.
I just feel sad for the boy. They're already too unfortunate, neglected--why let them absorb that fact? Sheesh. Nakaksira ng araw.
I'm so tired of our cheering practises and I've got fever every night. I wanna miss a school day but I can't because of them. But still, they don't show some effort. Talk about sensitivity. I thought they'll gonna die first because of me; but no! I think I'm dying soon.
