Sunday Dec 13, 2009, at 5pm still wondering what shirt to wear for the Ms Cebu 2010 Candidates' Christmas Party and iLearner charity event. Trying to create a good impression for the people who are going to be there, specially to my iLearner family. I did five spray of my favorite Eternity perfume that i only use during special events.
On my way there, in the cab, still thinking about my L2 Karlo Manto asked me. He asked me why did i join the organization. Then i asked myself why? Why im on my way to Fuente, when in fact, this day is my Etel Team's Christmas party. Could it be for self fulfillment, or for the people or friends that Im going to meet there. Still in a delimma that I think time can only answer.
So, I was there, In fact i was already there before the program started. But i was alone, no iLeaner members yet.Then i asked myself again could this be the right venue? I was about to panic...God knows Im gona cry if no iLeaner members show up there...I saw alot of Kids, they say those kids are street children. I observed them, I knew they were eager for the program to start. Then thoughts, questions came in to my mind...are they expecting gifts later? or are they going to be happy after this? Again, only time can tell.
Then i saw Jhade, Doyskie, and other colleagues, and the program started. After about 40 minutes of being there, it was the time to give gifts/foods to the children. Yeah, most of the kids were happy especially those who received the pack of food. But i noticed one small boy who only got a small piece of food in his hand. I looked at him and he smiled at me. He was actually happy with what he received- a small piece of food in a plastic. And i smiled back at him.
At that point, i realized that it was the answer to my question why I was there. I was not there because of Ms Cebu 2010 candidates, or the people that Im going to meet there.
I was there to help give foods/gifts... was there to make the children smile... was there to give a bit of joy to the children who need it most. I was there to give a little of what i have that matters alot to the child that smiled at me.
Thanks to iLearner for giving me this experience...!
