I was late for work because I watched the NBA finals. Before the 4th Quarter started, I had to leave the house, even though I was dying to see up to the last second of the game. That time, CAVs was leading and I was feeling so down 'coz I’m a fan of GSW.
I booked a Grab car and when I went down, it was waiting for me. The traffic was a little bad and the driver was using Waze to get me faster to my destination. Finally, I arrived. My bill was Php 179. I gave Php 200 to the driver, but he said he won’t accept it. He asked me to give him just 1 peso, instead, as a lucky charm. Pampaswerte, he said. Whoa! I couldn’t believe it myself. I insisted to pay my exact bill, or at least 100 pesos, but he declined to accept it. So I just gave him 1 peso as he requested and thanked him profusely.
My day just brightened up.
Little surprises and random acts of kindness like this can lift a melancholic spirit, a reminder to spread love and joy whenever we can because we wouldn’t know how big it will make a difference to someone who’s just having a bad day or to someone who’s lost all hope to live.
