So, may kwento ako.

I had this classmate bullied in high school, aside dun sa nakwento ko na lawyer na ngayon.

She comes fm the barrio and nakapasok siya sa school namen thru scholarship.

Anyways, all of a sudden she contacted me today, thru viber. 1/n
She got my # from our common classmate in high school.

She was being bullied kasi her baon, like lunch is in a supot. Nakamix pa the rice and ung ulam niya.

She wld eat sometimes sa parking lot, under the shade of a tree or sa cr! Yes, sa cr! 2/n
Anyways, one time nakita ko siya, i asked her to join me sa cafeteria. Nahihiya daw siya kasi classmates are poking fun at her baon. I said, ok lang yan, ako bahala sayo.

So d ko makalimutan, her baon that day was fried galunggong, in a supot, mixed dun sa rice niya. 3/n
Ako, hindi ako fish eater talaga. But i don't know why, i asked her i'll have her fried GG, and i'll buy her any ulam. And she agreed. So i had her GG, she had beef stroganoff which i bought for her.

Our classmates were looking at us weirdly. And i told her hayaan nya. 4/n
So after that, every lunchtime, kami na magkasama. Until we graduated high school.

After high school, alam ko she took BS Ed. Pero nawalan na kami contact. In fact, nawala na din sa isip ko. 5/n
Today i got a message fm her, nasa US na pala siya. Kumustahan and all.

And pinaka na shock ako kasi she wants to send me a Christmas gift daw and she was asking for my bank account number.

After a few prodding, napapayag na niya ako.

And look what i got from her! 6/n
I never thought she would still remember that day. Nakalimutan ko na nga eh. And i was never expecting any Christmas gifts today.

Thank you! And she has this parting words pa, which i never thought i had an impact to her emotionally and spiritually. 7/n
Lesson learned?

"People will forget what you said, or what you did for them, but they will never forget how you made them feel."

Such a very good Christmas lesson!

Merry Christmas, everyone! And by the way, i am paying this forward to the orphaned children i support!❤ -end-
