giving back

• yesterday, january 11 (the date is so DH! 1-11! ha!), we went to a poor family to give them a good tasty lunch. we already did this one holiday and yesterday was just another year to continue the tradition.

.

• the family had 10 children. and i think 2 or 3 of her daughters have their own as well. the parents, children and grandchildren all live together in what they call a house. their living space is too small for them that children are everywhere at anyone's 360 degrees!

.

• intermission: wall-e won as best animated film in the golden globes! i love that movie! johnny depp is presenting an award now!!! aahhh! (i'm currently watching the golden globes..)

.

• back to where i am, we served them lunch that we cooked here at home..chicken adobo, sotanghon, spaghetti and beef caldereta of some sort (i'm not really sure what that was. the only thing that got me was it has a RED tomato sauce)...we also joined eating.. i was not expecting that the neighbors won't come to eat. i thought, this is unusual..hehe..because the past year, people just start coming in at the house where we brought lunch. but now, none. they were even the ones who invited people to come over since there are a lot of left overs.

.

• but i haven't just given up yet..i know some true colors will be shining soon..hehe! not that i regard them that way..but its our instinct "to grab it while i lasts". and i was not wrong. came the time when we handed our old clothes, some kept grabbing them even if they won't fit. one lady was grabbing almost everything then returning them over to the box if it's not her type. mapili pa sya ha! talk about mahaderas and oportunistas..by the second box, everybody was swarming in and grabbing every shirt raised over.

.

• intermission again: heath ledger won best supporting actor for the dark knight! yohooo! he is still one of my favorites since 10 things i hate about you days..i haven't watched the dark knight but a short clip was shown earlier and the joker doesn't seem to be heath ledger. which only shows that he did the role so well that it is the joker when you look at it and not heath. as an actor you have to be the role and not the other way around..yes to heath!

.

• so there we were..doing some charity work. there were a few tears shed during the prayer. but not a drop came from me. i have been so smile-happy for the past couple of months that i think i have to brush up with the other emotions..haha! i may seem apathetic but a lot of things are going on in my head. yah..i still ponder..hehe!

.

• it was kinda fulfilling having helped a family thrice as big as us. they are 16 in a household by the way. too bad i haven't brought my camera with me..how can u have a quality life if that is so?! hmm..

.

• another thing that came into my mind is that this is another opportunity for me to maybe lessen the level of my DH evilness..hahaha! basi pa lng buhinan ni Lord score ko sa tally board! hehehe! but of course this can only pass as a joke..the primary reason is plain giving back. last year was great. so why not start this year right..

.

• well, the DH chronicles is an exception (Don, indi na magreact! haha! gin unahan ko na daan!)

.

• after the lunch, we went grocery shopping for some items we need. i grabbed some wierd juices. i am always quite adventurous to try new food or drinks (but not the fear factor type of menu). i got an aloe vera juice drink, a purple carrot+mixed fruit juice drink and a brocolli + mixed fruit juice drink..weird eh?! i still have to try those! i was just there circling the grocery while cradling these juices in my hand since i'm finding our cart and i have no sense of direction! talk about te-nanga! haha!

.

• and my cellphone had a glitch that i can't inderstand how and i can't know when it will return to its normal self..

.

• oh well, i just have to smile and wave!
