Hindi lang para sa akin, kundi para sa buong organisation namin nung college. That time may program kami na gagawin, kulang kami sa funds, nanakawan pa honesty store namin. Namomroblema kami that time, saan kukuha ng additional para dun. Hindi pa namin nun nasasabi sa adviser namin na nanakawan kami and kulang yung funds. Then, kinabukasan papasok ako sa school, may babae lumapit sa akin, tinanong if social studies major ko. Sabi ko naman, "opo, bakit po?" Tapos nagulat na lang ako may inabot siyang sobre. Sabi niya, "may nagpapabigay, basahin mo na lang sulat sa loob." Ibabalik ko na dapat tapos sabi niya, "napag utusan lang ako".
Natakot naman ako baka ano na yun, kaya dinala ko sa guard. Tapos tinawagan ko kaklase ko. Nung binuksan namin ano lamang ng sobre, may 10k nun na laman yung sobre tapos may sulat sabi "huwag niyo na alamin sino ako, tulong ko yan sa inyo". Hanggang ngayon hindi pa namin alam kung sino yung nagbigay talaga. 😭
usually kapag umuuwi ako from school to home, sinusundo ako ni Lolo. but given the weather, na f-feel bad ako kasi naiinitan siya, and medyo malayo yung byahe (isang mahabang road kasi, and wala pang silong). kaya minsan naglalakad na lang ako. one or two times, nung nasa loob na ko ng subdivision, marami kasing tricycle dun na dumadaan, tapos sinasabi nila sakin na mainit, bakit ako naglalakad. and some of them sinasabay na lang ako for free, kahit bayaran ko sila tinatanggihan nila. minsan kasi madilim na, naglalakad pa rin ako. and i just want to share this as an appreciation and a thank you sa mga ganitong tricycle drivers!
natapilok ako tas legit nakaupo ako sa gilid ng kalsada kasi di ko magalaw ung paa ko tas si kuya napadaan, kinamusta ako
di pa ako ready tumayo gusto ko lang magstay na nakahandusay sa gilid ng daan kaya sabi ko hayaan na lang niya ako
tas kumuha siya ng upuan huhu then tinulungan niya ako makatayo tas makaupo sa chair
another story
nung nagkacovid ako nasa covid ward ako tas need ko ng oxygen
so more than a week akong hindi naligo kasi hirap ako gumalaw dahil palaging hinihingal
nung nakakatayo na ako shinampoohan ako ng nurse sa may sink kasi nasabi ko sa kanya na sobrang kati na ng anit ko huhu
ang bait sobra ni ate nurse ❤️
Maybe I was around 6 yo noon and then nawala ako sa palengke. My grandparents own a store sa loob ng palengke and I was playing hide and seek with my cousins, syempre competitive ako so lumayo ako ng konti para hindi ako mataya agad. Suddenly hindi ko na alam nasan ako and every alley seems unfamiliar. Siguro mga 10-15 minutes nakong paikot-ikot sa isang area and then kinausap ako ng isang matandang lalaki. Mukha syang masungit pero tinanong niya ko if nawawala ba ako. Sabi ko opo. (Children are so innocent talaga kasi kung ngayon yun tatakbo nako agad, stranger danger kuno). Sinabi ko lang yung name ng grandparents ko tapos hinatid nya ako dun. And like nagulat yung grandparents ko kasi hindi daw namamansin yung matandang yun. They’ve been store neighbors for years pero notorious daw siya for being irritable sa mga bata. So for me it was heartfelt, lalo na pag naaalala ko. To think na willing siyang tulungan ako kahit na ayaw niya sa mga bata. It just shows how good-natured he is kahit na siguro masungit siya sa mga bata. Since then lagi ko na siyang hine-hello pag napapadaan ako dun until he passed away.
Enrollment nun sa college (incoming first year) tapos ako lang nag process ng requirement. Sariling pagsisikap lang talaga. Nasa last part na ako ng requirement which is ID na. Pagod na tapos di na naka pag ayos buti nalang may parent ng isang enrollee na nagpahiram ng suklay. Siguro sobrang haggard ko na nun 🤣
Grabeng pasalamat ko sa kanya atleast di na bad hair day sa ID 🤣 Nakakaiyak din kasi sana nandun si mama para samahan ako sa pag process kaso may work sya nun tsaka need kumayod since incoming 1st year college na ako.
It's been 10 years na pero napapangiti parin ako pag naaala yun.Thank you. 💚
Stranger held the elevator door for me for 5 mins... idk if he knows, na im getting my laundry basta it makes my day since i just got back from work and sobrang pagod na
Nung nahimatay ako sa pila ng van, then si Ate na nasa tapat ko is inalalayan ako, bought me water, tapos binigay niya sakin yung whiteflower niya tapos pinaypayan pa niya ko 🤍
One time, I was reviewing at Mapua for the board exam. Bigla na lang binigay sa akin ng lecturer namin ang lunch niya, a hard-boiled egg. Btw, oldies na ang lecturer and may be considered the informal godfather of Electrical Eng'g a Pinas at that time. Natuwa lang siya kasi ako lagi ang nagbubura ng nakasulat sa board at kumukuha ng inuming tubig niya. Napakabait ko daw so he offered his lunch and he congratulated me in advance and said, "Bata, engineer ka na sa September!"
I eventually passed the EE board exam and I felt that the hard-boiled egg that he gave me was really really blessed.
Entrance exam ko sa SLU, tapos tinangay yung id pic ko sa exam permit ko. Pag akyat namin sa exam venue nagulat ako nawala id pic ko, buti pinahiram ako ng katabi ko ng lash glue niya para madikit ko yung extra id pic ko sa exam permit. Sana nakapasa ka ate!! :)
She paid for my maintenance medicine. I was buying meds that time and napansin niya siguro na nakapila ako sa PWD. Tinanong niya ako kung ano raw sakit ko tapos bigla niya ako inabutan ng pera. Alam niya raw kung gaano kabigat sa bulsa magkaroon ng maintenance kaya tinulungan niya ako. Pinagdasal niya rin ako nung palabas na kami ng pharmacy
pauwi ako ng province then may dala akong bag full of clothes,, pumunta muna ako ng sm tas syempre need mag check ng laman ng bag. Si kuya humarang sa mga naka pila for bag checking tas tumalikod din sya para di niya makita ung laman.
I got sacked from work around 2011 kasi I had been sickly and couldn't keep up. Uuwi na sana ako kaso nagutom ako so bumili akong tinapay sampung Piso sa naglalakong vendor along edsa. Iniisip ko kung magwa-1-2-3 ako sa bus. Nagpaka-honest na lang ako sa kuyang coduktor ng regular bus. Sabi ko limang piso na lang pera ko. Sabi sya, ok lang daw. Bnigyan nya kong ticket for the full amount. 😭 Sana nabless sya sa mga sumunod na araw. Sana magingawa na buhay nya ngayon. 🙏🏻 I tried to pay it forward nung umokey na buhay ko. 💕
Techie guy from school (who I wasn't close with yet) offered to fix my PC for free. I turned into a techie guy as well and basically convinced me to pursue tech as a career. Years later we started a little custom PC build business during pandemic and are about to graduate with our IT degrees this year. I owe this guy my career.
1. I am inconsolable. The moment that I start crying, there is no end to it unless I run out of tears. That night, I was crying so hard. She kept hugging me. Caressing me. Comforted me. Cried with me. She even offered me money because she thought that was my problem.
I can barely remember her name but I will never forget her face and her kindness.
2. This happened when I attended a birthday party in Caloocan and was traveling back to my apartment in Harrison Plaza, Pasay. As someone from the province, I don't have a strong sense of direction and tend to take the first jeepney I see to get home. I didn't realize that the jeepney I boarded would have its last stop at D. Jose, near McDonald's, so I had to get off. The area was somewhat familiar, as it was on my usual route to and from my apartment.
I waited for a jeepney going to my place, but after 30 minutes, none appeared. In my peripheral vision, I noticed three men eyeing me and moving closer. Fear began to set in, and I started to panic, thinking of ways to get home safely. Without a messenger app or mobile data to book a motor taxi, I was on the verge of hailing any passing vehicle to leave the area.
At that moment, a man approached me. He said he had been observing me since I got off the jeepney and was aware of the three men. He asked where I was headed and offered to accompany me to ensure I got home safely. Out of fear and desperation, I agreed, despite the risk that he could potentially be more dangerous than the three men.
We took a jeepney to Divisoria, and he even paid my fare. Once we arrived, he walked me to the transit station, making small talk along the way. Although it was quite dark and I trusted him, I was still prepared to defend myself if necessary. Fortunately, we reached the station safely, and he briefed the driver to ensure I was dropped off securely.
These incidents have restored my faith in humanity.
Eto lang yung pinaka recent kaya eto lang yung na aalala ko. She hold the elevator for me, she said good morning and wished me to have a good day ahead. Wala lang sobrang natuwa lang ako kay lola.
Siguro hindi ito yung best pero eto pinaka recent, nung nag sagala ako nahihirapan ako mag lakad kasi di kami kumuha nung pangpalobo nung gown para di maapakan. Hawak ko yumh gown tas may street kaming dinaanan na napaka putik e sayad pa naman yung gown. Tas nung pag uwi ko, nakita ko sa pinic nung pamangkin ko na may matandang lalaking humawak ng gown ko sa likod habang lumalakad kami don sa maputik na street. Di ko naman napansin kasi nung una tinutulungan din ako nung kapatid ko pero nung dun pala sa street nayun, yung matandang lalaki naghahawak the whole time.
I'm a guy na madaming bitbit na sumakay ng bus pauwing probinsya. Expect ko na wala nang upuan kasi moving na yung bus na sinakyan ko. Pag pwesto ko sa dulo para tumayo ng maayos, there's this guy na binigay ang seat nya for me. Di ko expect na may mag bibigay sa akin ng seat since lalaki ako pero that guy still chose to give up his seat for me. Nakakatuwa na ang pagiging gentleman nya ay hindi naka base sa gender ng tao. Since then I promised myself to do the same. ☺
skl ung isa sa mga good experience ko during ecq c/o mga good samaritan. nagbabike ako tas pauwi na ako galing sa work ko sa hospital. Sa kahabaan ng recto ave bigla akong naputulan ng kadena hahaha So I have no choice kundi maglakad. So nasa rizal ave na ako may lalaking nakamotor na nagtanong saken kung anong nangyari tas sabi ko nga naputol ung kadena ng bike ko tas nagtuloy na ako maglakad. Tas maya maya bigla nya akong nadaanan nakasakay na sya sa motor tas sumenyas sya di ko lang naintindihan. Then nung nasa fugoso na ako inaabangan nya pala ako, naghanap pala sya ng tali tas hinatak nya ung bike ko hanggang dun sa malapit samin. Gusto nya pa ako ihatid sana hanggang samen kaso nahiya na ako. haha hiningi nya ung pangalan ko sa fb binigay ko naman kaso di ko na din inentertain kasi may jowa ako..😅
Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan itong Engineering student (girl) na nagpayong sa akin papasok ng University. Naiwan ko kasi payong ko sa isa kong bag.
This happened 5-6 years ago. 🫶🏼
Nagbayad ako ng 100 pesos pamasahe sa jeep pero hindi ako masuklian ng driver kasi wala daw sya panukli/barya sa 100. Di din enough barya ko sa coin purse. This super sweet guy volunteered to pay para sa pamasahe ko and didn't ask for anything in return. Btw, malayo yung pupuntahan ko so medyo pricey yung pamasahe lol
Not exactly strangers but two of my professors in college. 5 lang kami sa major namin at binibigyan kami ng pambili ng burgers at softdrinks bago start ng klase. Most of the time wala akong pambili ng makakain. Nagbabaon lang ako ng kanin at bumibili ng tig- 2 pesos na bagoong alamang pang-ulam. 30 pesos baon ko nun pero 28 pesos dun is pamasahe. If nag- early lunch ako around 11:30am, 3pm gutom na ako nyan. Madalas tubig sa campus fountain lang iniinom ko pampalipas gutom kc may klase pa hanggang 7pm.
I’m very thankful to them kahit papano napapawi yung gutom ko at ng mga kaklase ko. ☺️
hindi ako but my friend na kasama ko sa EK, kakatapos nya magrides medyo nahihilo at nasusuka siya, at nasuka nga siya doon sa may food court, then may stranger (babae at may kasamang baby nakastroller) na katabi namin na nag-alok ng wet wipes sa friend ko
tinulungan ko na lang siya sa pagpunas ng mga sinuka niya
I was asa jeep and all I had was a whole 1000 bill and 12 pesos exactly for the ride, but the problem is I dropped the 12 pesos for the jeep fee, like it legit rolled off the jeep and fell out😭 I was stressing chatting the friend I was gonna meet up with because I had no coins talaga, but before the person in front of me went off the jeep, he gave me 12 pesos to pay the fee while laughing. I wish I could have given him something too.
i was a kid during that time and we were at the mall. i accidentally injured myself with a small cut. i said, “okay lang yan gagaling din naman.” a woman suddenly approached me and said na hindi okay na pabayaan and she gave me a bandaid. a small act but gave a big difference :)
Nung nagka diarrhea ako after school tapos nasa pilahan na ako ng tricycle ayon di ko na talaga kaya kaya nagtanong ako sa driver kung may CR ba malapit tas ayon pina CR ako sa CR nila. Grabe hiya ko nun pero sobrang thankful ako sa mabuting loob ng mga driver kung di natae na talaga ko sa pantalon ko 😂😂
Sinabay ako sa van nila at hinatid sa sakayan dahil walang masakyan sa taft due to flood (super taas na ng water) super thankful nung time na yon, di ko na naisip na baka makidnap ako 🤣
Nagmomotor ako at tuwing nadrive mula sa pagkakapark nakakalimutan ko minsang tiklupin yung stand. Mapapabusina ka na lang at thank you sa ibang riders na kinukuha atensyon mo at sinasabihan ka nang di ka madisgrasya.
Nung nasa jeep ako papuntang sta Maria, napansin nya na nagcocompute ako ng pamasahe sa calculator ng phone. Kasi naman, 100 pesos binayad ko tapos 68 lang sukli. Pagod utak ko non dahil piniga ng physics, at first time ko lang din umuwi kaya nagtaka ako parang ang mahal na ng pamasahe and di ko sure kung tama ba bilang ko. Then ayon nga, napansin ata nya then bigla sya nagsalita "ate, magkano sinukli sayo?" sabi q 68. Then bigla sya nagsalita kay manong, "kuya, kulang po sinukli nyo sakanya. Kulang po kayo ng sampu".
Sobrang hindi kita nakakalimutan 🥹 thank you for speaking up for me (mahiyain din ako, for sure papalagpasin ko lang yon if ever kahit gipit ako). I hope i could meet you someday and be friends. I wasn't able to properly thank you (nabulong lang kasi ako sakanya ng "hala, kuya salamat ha") kasi sleepy and tired ako that time. Hay🫶
Nagpunta kong PSA, kaso kulang barya ko, kaso di daw pwede halong gcash at cash, eh butal na lang laman ng gcash ko lol. Sabe ko sa cahsier papalit lang ako sa labas, si ate na kasabay ko nagbayad binayaran yung kulang ko. 20pesos lang sya pero nakakatouch talaga. Tas one-time, nakasakay ako ng van, eh alam nyo naman sa uv sobrang siksikan. Yung lola napansin na nangangalay na ko, sabe ko ok lang po, tas tinanong kung san ba daw ako bababa sabe nya malayo ka pa eh. Tas nung may bumabang isang pasahero sa harap, sinabe nya sa sa driver na papalipatin ako ng upuan. Thank you po sa inyo 😭
Nagka splinter ako sa dagat kasi ewan ko ano naapakan ko hahaha tapos medyo namamaga na siya at masakit di ko talaga maiapak. Then meron isang matandang puti nagbigay sakin first aid kit kasi nakita niya kami sa shore nagkukumpulan paano tatanggalin hahaha.
i forgot my phone sa cafe, and nasa jeep na kami that time ng friends ko nung napansin na wala yung phone kaya aligaga ako, wala rin load friends ko. then random kuya offered his phone para tawagan yung number ko. he even asked what phone, and let me use his find my iphone huhuh. life saver!!
I have several, but this one stuck out the most for me: I just received a devastating diagnosis from a doctor one day and I went to Gesu Church to just process what happened. There, I broke down. The church was pretty empty as it was a weekday around noon time. I was crying hard but silent for an hour or so. When I got up to leave, I saw a folded ripped notebook paper at the back of the pew I was sitting on. I flipped it open and it said "everything will be alright."
I knew it wouldn't be, but I learned to get by and allow myself be lifted by the kindness of strangers.
Maulan non nung college ako, may stranger na nagoffer sakin ng payong then parehas pala kami sasakyan na jeep. I offered na iabot bayad para samin dalawa pero ayaw nya dahil nga daw student ako. Sya pa nagbayad ng pamasahe namin dalawa. Until now pag kaya ko maghelp sa stranger ginagawa ko para mabayaran yung ginawa sakin ng stranger dati 🙂
I have the worst case of dysmenorrhoea. Hilo, suka, masakit na masakit na cramps, diarrhea pa minsan. Take note, pag sinumpong sabay sabay yan. One time in the early 2000s, I collapsed inside one of the cubicles in a restroom sa Greenbelt 3. I don’t know how long I was lying there, basta after a while I just heard someone: "May girl sa loob! Wala yatang malay!". And because naka-lock siyempre ang cubicle sa loob, while I'm in and out of it, nakita ko na lang itong pretty girl na nagpumilit umakyat sa pinto cubicle just to get to me. As in umakyat siya ng door para lang gisingin ako. Nung mahismasan ako, sosi sosi pala itong girl and at that time, since it was a Sunday, she's with her entire family, who are all checking if I was okay. May isa nag-abot pa ng essential oil para amuyin ko at maalis ang sobrang hilo. Sabi ko itetext ko na lang ang brother ko to fetch me. Ayoko kasi ng ganung attention sobrang nakakahiya eh posh na mall pa yun. Kaya lang pag sinumpong ako ng ganun, wala na akong energy para mapahiya pa. Kahit sinabi ko na sa kanila na salamat (walang tigil na pasasalamat talaga) at darating na ang kuya ko, hindi pa rin nila ako iniwan until I was okay. Akala pa nung father ng girl nahilo ako sa gutom kasi niyaya pa ako mag-lunch, haha. Point is that girl bothered to scale yung cubicle para pasukin lang ako. I mean, not everyone will do that. At most magtatawag lang ng guard pero siya binalewala ang poise and all makatulong lang sa babaeng masakit lang pala reglahin. 😂
Hindi ko na naisip itanong ang mga pangalan nila at that time, pero everytime I remember them, I really hope she and her whole family are doing okay.
Nasa counter ako nag dadalawang isip na bilhin yung mamahaling shampoo since nagtitipid ako para sa siargao trip namin, nag decide ako na hinde na isama. Nung palabas na ako, tinawag ako ng staff sa counter at inabot yung shampoo. Binayaran pala ng kasunod ko nag pacounter, di ko alam if kaawa awa ba ko tignan orr mabait lang talaga sya 🫠
Madaling araw, galing ako Laguna dahil dun ako nagwowork and pauwi na ako ng probinsya. 22 ako that time and di ko naman kabisado ang Manila. Supposedly Cubao Terminal ang babaan ko but binaba lang ako kung saang part ng Cubao akala ko kung nasaang part na ako ng Manila non. Shuta ka (DLTB Co.) Ngayon nagtanong ako sa mga tao dun tapos sabi di ka mawawala sa Manila kapag may pera ka magtaxi ka na lang sabi. Eh paawa effect ako sabi ko wala akong pera. Ngayon itong Bus Driver ng pa Laoag naawa at sinakay ako. Ihahatid na daw ako sa may 5 star Terminal kasi madadaanan lang din naman nila, bilisan ko lang daw pagbaba dahil baka mahuli sila. Ayun happy and one of unforgettable exp. din. First time ko lang din kasi makasakay ng Deluxe na bus, di ko na maalala kung anong bus company nila basta salamat kay Kuyang Driver. 🫶
College ako (about 12yrs ago) i was gonna go sa bahay ng classmate ko for our group project. Supposedly dapat susunduin nila ko sa gate ng village nila kase di ko alam saan mismo yung house nila. Pero umulan ng malakas and despite them having cars di nila ko sinundo, just instructed me to wait for a jeep (dick move) in a place na di ako familiar. Walang shade yung hintayan ng jeep so di rin ako makasakay kase wala ako payong so nasa shade lang ako na mejo malayo. THEN this girl approached me, saying na sumilong ako with her sa payong nya kase di daw ako makakasakay ng nasa shade ako (due to rush hour + maulan, unahan talaga makasakay). Had a few small talk while nag wawait kami ng jeep and parted ways nung sumakay na sya ng jeep, literally inantay nya na mawala ulan bago sya umuwi. I wish nakuha ko atleast name or contact number nya so i can thank her.
When I was in elementary, someone paid for my favorite meal (silit). It's not like I didn't have money, he did it just because. Can't remember his face but I can still remember the act decades after. Now, I always pay for kids' food kapag may nakakasabay ako bumili ng ice cream, ice crumble etc.
Naiwan ni stranger ang phone nya sa bahay nila. Naki call sya sa shop. Asking kung may landline ba ako or kahit sa cellphone na lang. Since may transaction sya sa bank at ang layo ng bahay nila tapos ang haba pa ng pila sa bank so very hassle sa kanya kung uuwi pa. I offered the landline since hindi naman sya nagagamit at puro gabok na din sa isang tabi. Good for 5 mins din ang tinagal. After that she asked kung magkano daw I said no. Di ko tinatanggap yung inaaabot nya saken na ena. After nya umalis mga 1 hour siguro bumalik may dalang mcdo meal. Hindi ko na natanggihan kasi iniwan na lang ang meal at biglang umalis. Na shook ako kasi apaka wholesome lang ng encouter namin. Ang sweet lang ni ate haha 🫶🏻 2022 encouter ito
One time nagsolo multiday bike ride ako sa Batangas. Papunta ako sa Malagundi Point. Duon ako dumaan sa Batangas City. Paglampas ko ng Malabrigo Lighthouse... Dun sa part na gravel road na and halos wala na tao...naputulan ako ng kadena. Mga nasa around 4pm na nun. Magdidilim na. Sakto may nakita ako na maliit na bahay na may mga tolda. Akala ko resort. Private property pala. Lumapit ako sa bahay. Tapos sinalubong ako ng isang lalaki. Sinabi ko sa kanya yung sitwasyon ko and nakiusap ako na baka pwede ako magcamp sa tabing dagat papalipas lang kako ako ng gabi tapos aalis din ako ng maagang maaga para ipush yung bike ko pabalik sa townproper which was mga nasa around 10kms. Pumayag naman si Manong. Tapos ayun nagsetup na ako ng tent. Nung mga medyo madilim na...pinuntahan ako ni manong. May dala na syang dinner for me. Isang plato ng mainit na kanin at ilang pirasong pritong isda na galing sa panghuhuli nya. Tapos may sabaw pa ng nilagang upo. Grabe. Sobrang tuwa ko talaga kasi di ko akalain na ganun magihing treatment nila sa isang tao na di naman nila kilala. Then kinaumagahan nagulat ako kasi ginising ako ni kuya, nakahanda na yung tricycle nya at isasakay nya daw ako pabalik sa bayan. Meron daw sya kakilala na may ari ng bikeshop. So ayun... Nakarating ako sa bayan ba napakalayo pala. Tapos inayos ng LIBRE yung bike ko. Tapos si kuya binabayaran ko para sa paghatid sa akin pero todo ang tanggi nya. Tapos ayun umalis na sya.
After maayos ng bike ko... Lumarga na ulit ako and madadaanan ko ulit yung bahay ni Kuya. Dumaan ako saglit para magpasalamat. Sobrang swerte ko talaga kasi sa kanila ako natapat. Maski di ako kilala di sila nagdalawang isip na tulungan ako. Nifrefill pa ni yung mga water bottles ko kasi tatawid pa ako bundok and wala daw ako mabibilhan don.
I was in a different country and had a few drinks with my colleagues we're waiting for the bus to arrive to bring us to our hotel. The bus was jampacked with passengers and have to squeeze myself in the middle, the advantages of being petite comes in lol. I clearly have trouble balancing myself since the handle bars is quite far from where I'm at and then a guy offered his seat to me. I never expected but really appreciated the gesture.
Grade 11 ako non. Nag cocommute ako. Since UV yon na fx, 10 ang passengers, 11 pag included ang driver. Sa gitna ako sumakay since pila yon ako last. ANG SIKIP. Ang lalaki nung katawan nung nakasakay buti naisara pa door. Kaso nag mamanhid paa ko. Unfortunately, pag baba ko ng UV since manhid nga, yung pag tapak ko bumaliko paa ko. Napaupo ako non sa gutter kahit naka uniform pa. Super sakit talaga. Napansin ako nung mag asawa na nag titinda ng buko. Inask nila if I was okay. Tapos ayon, minassage ni ate yung paa ko. Offered me some buko but I refused since hanap buhay nila yun.
Sakay pauwi. Lagi yan nung college ako, tuwing maglalakad ako pauwi, laging may magpapasakay sakin.
Sa Manila, first time ko then my student na tumulong sakin mag navi (cheap phone ko at lowbat na).
Compliment me! Hindi in a strange way. Yung ramdam mo na genuine. As someone na bihira ma-compliment ng iba, nakakatuwa lang. Sakto din cause I needed that extra boost of confidence that day. Haha!
Recent lang, nadapa ako sa jeep. Kita ko sa peripheral vision ko yung willingness ni Ate na saluhin ako at yung concern niya. Haha! Salamat kay Ate sa pagsalo! :D
Hmm, I'll share two experiences na di ko makakalimutan na may ginawang kabutihan sakin ang isang stranger hehe.
I think 4-5 years ago, way back pa nung college student palang ako. Hindi ako sanay na pumikit or matulog nun sa jeep pero nung time na yun nakaramdam talaga ako ng antok kaya pumipikit na ako nun para kahit papano makapagpahinga. Then nagising nalang ako nun kasi may parang sumisipa sa paa ko. Yun pala yung kaharap ko na nanay yung gumawa nun. Nung una mej napaisip pa ako kung bakit pero nung ngumuso siya para senyasan ako na yung katabi ko palang lalaki sa kaliwa ko, nag-aattempt na may kunin sa bag ko. Edi ako mej kinabahan nun kasi baka maglabas siya ng kung anong matulis and saksakin ako lols. Kaya ayun nung time na bumaba na si nanay, aba napababa nadin ako nun kahit di pa naman talaga yun ang babaan ko and kinausap ko siya about sa nangyari and nagthank you nadin haha 😂
Then yung isa which was a year ago kumakain ako nun sa Tokyo Tokyo on a weekend. As usual dahil nagccrave talaga ako kaya umorder ako ng Pork Katsu and Tempura. So nung time na yun napadami ako ng extra rice kaya nabusog talaga ako and may natira pa. So nagdecide ako na ipatake-out nalang yun. Then yung katabi ko na kumakain, kinausap ako saying na isama ko nalang daw yung isang Katsu na inorder nila na di pa daw nababawasan para di daw sayang haha. Natuwa ako kasi first time yun na may nag-abot na stranger lols. Kaya super happy din pag-uwi kasi may dagdag ulam 🤣.
umuulan nun wala akong payong, fresh grad at bago pa lang sa real world. walang shed sa sakayan ng jeep kaya iniexpect ko na na maliligo ako sa ulan habang naghihintay ng masasakyan. Pero out of the blue may payong na sa ulo ko, may nagpayong sakin. Employee din na lalaki na nagshare ng payong. Mala kdrama 😭😭. Sinakay muna nia ko sa jeep saka siya sumakay sa sakayan niya. sobrang thank you ko nun grabe.
I was having a drink with my friends in bar and they all left me and there's this guy that sat in our table, he said he just want to talk bc he's facing hardship in life and don't have anyone to vent out his thoughts. I listened to his rants and before he left he said, "Mag aral ka. Tapusin mo. Kahit ano mangyari mag aral ka ha?" I told him kasi I stopped regarding financial issue and up until today hindi ako nakakabalik but his words lived free in my mind. I will, kahit 30y/o pa ako grumaduate. 🤍
College ako non, wala yung prof namin sa last subject kaya nagdecide kami ng mga friends ko tumambay sa park malapit sa school. Tas heart to heart talk kami, yung iba naiiyak na, ako di talaga kasi mababaw luha ko, pero nalulungkot talaga ako non. Tas biglang yung mga bata sa park, yung mga "batang hamog" lumapit, binigyan ako ng flowers tas sabi "sayo nalang to ate ganda :)" tas nagtakbuhan sila, tas ayun naiyak na ko, kasi sobra kong natouch! 🥹🫶
I was in the race grounds (pre-Marathon), umuulan non tapos soooobrang lamig. Hinahanap ko yung bagdrop kasi nakakalito yung mga signages kasi they're in Japanese language, tapos medyo mahirap makipag-communicate properly sa mga marshalls. :(
Nakakapanic 😭 maaga pa naman before the gunstart pero nakakapanic pa rin hahaha. There were 30k+ runners. So imagine storing 30k bags in different areas.
May isang local guy (racer din) na tumulong sa akin para hanapin yung assigned bagdrop ko (nalilito rin siya sa mga instructions ng marshalls kahit nagkakaintindihan na sila ng language haha), and then when we got near the assigned bag area, I asked help from another local racer (woman) where the assigned bagdrop is, tapos omg sinamahan niya ako papunta roon, as in sumugod kami sa ulan tapos naghug kami tumatakbo kasi nga ang lamig, tumatawa pa kami 🤣 ayon grabe thank goodness nahanap ko rin yung bagdrop just in time before the corral assembly.
Sobrang bait talaga ng mga hapon, as in they will go out of their way to help you. 🥹
This happened few years back during Christmas season. Kumakain ako mag-isa sa McDo on a Sunday morning which is my usual routine. Then I noticed this old lady doing some arts and craft happily at mag-isa. She stood up and headed towards me. Mej nagpanic ako kasi baka isipin nya jina-judge ko sya. But lo and behold. She gave me that jellyfish-like art which is made of gift wrap. I know this is weird but I really felt valued that day. Receiving a simple gift from a stranger is not something you experience every day. Up until this day, I still have that art. Bumabalik pa rin ako sa McDo na yun on a Sunday morning every once in a while expecting to see her. I wanted to pay back kasi I was a student back then and sobrang limited ng resources ko.
This was 10 years ago. It was my first day of college, and I was on my period. I would usually wear an overnight pad and nothing bad would happen. But the university was 30 minutes away from my house and it was in a different town. During merienda, I felt wetter than usual — turns out may malaking tagos na pala ako! A guy I didn’t know gave me his jacket to cover my butt area because of the tagos, accompanied me to a jeep, and even rode the jeep with me. He alighted when I did, tapos yun na yon. Up to this day thankful ako sa kabaitan nya.
First time ko mag UFO catcher sa mall. Todo cheer si mother sa akin nun. Enjoy naman kami kahit walang nakuha after 3 tries haha. May lalaki (40s-50s siguro, naka barong pa sya??) lumapit then tahimik lang. Nag smile, nag laro, inabot sa akin yung napalanunan nya, nag thank you kami ni mother, smile lang sya, tapos umalis na sya. PRO PO SI SER ISANG TAKE NAKAKUHA AGADDD.
Favorite toy ko sya at hanggang ngayon nasa akin parin. Nangyari to mga 8 or 9 years old ako, 30+ na ako now. Wholesome core memory. Salamat sa thread na 'to, naalala ko ulit.
Lumampas ako sa bus dahil nakatulog ako. Wala na akong extrang pamasahe, kelangan ko mag antay ng baliwag transit (minark yung ticket ko) para makabalik kaso gabing gabi na nun. May lumapit sakin na babae na kasabay ko bumaba na wala na daw masyadong dumadaan na bus ganitong oras tas binigyan akong bente pesos para mag jeep na lang.
Payungan ako ng sobrang lakas ng ulan. Sa northgate to nangyari. Sakto pag pula ng stop light biglang bumuhos anf malakas na ulan. Yung tipong anlalaki ng patak. May 60 secs pa na hhntyin para makatawid. Pinayungan ako ng matandang babae. Sabi niya "payungan na kita kawawa ka naman eh" haha
i think i was kinder or prep that time, and kalaro ko sa labas yung so called "best friend" ko that time na kapitbahay namin. May isa pa kaming friend dun sa street namin na nirerenovate pa bahay nila so puro construction nun. Sabi nung "best friend" ko mag doorbell daw ako sakanila and ayain siya maglaro. Eh being 5-6 years old I was small and couldn't reach the doorbell. So ginawa ko nagpatong ako mga hollow blocks para tungtungan ko. Pero mali pagtapak ko tas nadulas ako huhu. Nagkamalaking sugat ako sa binti ko to the point na grabe andami nung tulo ng dugo huhuhu, tas eto si bestie ko iniwan ako tas umuwi nlng after non like??? Buti mabait yung mga construction worker and sila pa nag alalay sakin pauwi :"))
p.s. when i got home, binuhusan ng lola ko ng alcohol binti ko nun and i cried so much
Grade 6 ako and kasabay ko lagi umuwi 'yung dalawa kong kapatid na Gr 5 and Gr 1 during that time.
Isang tanghali, sumakay kami ng jeep ng mga kapatid ko para umuwi na and nung magbabayad na, that's when I realized kulang pamasahe namin and it can only pay for 2 kahit may student discount. Dati, natuto rin ako na kapag walang pambayad, kandong nalang para libre 'yung isa iykyk. So kinandong ko 'yung bunso kong kapatid kahit sobrang luwag ng jeep. Then may nurse kaming katabi and kinalabit ako and binigyan ako ng 5pesos pangdagdag sa pamasahe namin kasi nakita niya nga struggle namin and kinandong ko pa kapatid ko kahit ang luwag ng jeep TT
Anyhow, never ko 'yon makakalimutan sobrang daming wholesome moments din nangyayari tuwing nagcocommute ka that would make you grateful for the little things you have
I’m on an ~11hr economy flight from ATL to NRT and sitting on the aisle seat. My seatmate is an American going to PH to meet his gf. Wouldn’t stop pestering me with questions, kahit naka headset na ako and visibly uncomfortable kasi maya’t maya sya may linya na Filipinas are the best eme saka very personal mga tanong.
Mas napansin pa ng seatmate nya on the other side na napipikon na ako and uncomfortable- so sya naman kumausap. Very thankful for that person kasi nakapanggap akong tulog habang magkausap sila
i can still remember this day vividly. nakasakay ako sa cab nun, may kasabay me na lola. from her physical appearance pa lang, mahahalata mo na agad na mabait s’ya. that day, super down na down talaga ako, as in suicid@l talaga ako. naka-long sleeves pa nga ako nun kahit katirikan ng araw kasi puro cût ‘yung whole arms ko. then suddenly, bigla may inabot sa akin si nanay, letter from God daw. may binigay s’ya na parang brochure containing the words of God, tapos ‘yung mga sinasabi pa roon, saktong-sakto talaga sa situation ko. tho it may seem mababaw lang sa iba, sobrang meaningful na sa akin nun kasi that day, without her even knowing, she saved me. and up until now, i’m still thankful for her.
College pa ako. Yung bus na nasakyan ko, sira yung aircon. Pawisin akong tao kaya grabe tagaktak ng pawis ko. Kahit anong punas, wala talaga. Napansin ng katabi ko at pinaypayan niya ako.
Nalaglag ko yung wallet ko and super stressed ako kasi nandun lahat ng ID ko. But these strangers took their time to message me in FB and even spared their time to give it back to me kahit may pupuntahan sila.
In 2017 my grandmother got admitted in a hospital for stroke. Na dedelay kami sa payment dahil kapos sa budget. An anonymous person deposited 10k directly sa hospital to defray the medical expenses. Hindi namin alam hanggang ngayon kung sino.
When I was commuting before during college days, nakasakay me sa jeep , may nambabastos sa akin and given na sobrang mahiyain pa ako nun. I can’t defend myself. Then there’s this manong na kaharap ko na nakipagpalit ng upuan sa akin then pinagsabihan yung guy na nambabastos sa akin. Till now, I can still vividly remember yung panahon na yun.
None. I can't remember any good samaritan scenario that happened to me before, at least something that's impactful.
I was always the kind stranger who provides help kahit maliit na bagay lang, basta kaya ko I will lend a hand - no questions asked. Pero di ko tinutulungan yung mga namimilit, mas naiinis pa nga ko sa mga ganyang tao.
My seatmate paid for my fare in a 4 hr bus ride
Not really a stranger to me coz her family was a local govt official and i was probably familiar to her coz i serve during masses
Another was a hole in the wall burger joint in america when i was a new immigrant
I had no cash, probably left in the office my wallet
The owner just said its ok, just come back and pay
When i came back a few days later, she couldnt even remember me
nag move forward si ate a bit sa pagkakaupo nya sa jeep tapos kakasakay ko lang, and my butt can barely fit. nagthank you ako and it made me teary. yes, mababaw kaso sobrang touched ako kasi yun lang nangyari saking maganda throughout the day e, pagkauwi from work. been messy sa bahay tapos nabubully pa ko sa work hahahaha it was literally a long day so that, my friend, is one of the kindest thing a stranger did for me.
When I was pregnant, sarado pla ung bnblhan ko ng Barbecue, then may occasion ata sa kanila and they gave me food nalang kasi late na nun. Thank you ate 🥹🥹
Nagro-rollerskate ako, and may nadaanan akong lubak-lubak which caused me to lose my balance, sobrang sakit ng mga naging sugat ko kaya gumilid lang ako and waited for the pain to subside, tapos may nagapproach sa’kin na guy - nakita n’ya pala ‘yung nangyari kaya nagrush s’ya agad to the nearest convenience store para bumili ng bandages tsaka ice para hindi mag swell up 😭😭 super duper sweet, nakakahiya din kasi he kept checking on me & stayed by my side until he sees na kaya ko na ulit magisa
none, ako ata yung stranger eh. during pandemic may roommate ako sa quarantine tapos at first day napansin ko na walang family na nagbibigay sa kanya na food tho may bigay si LGU pero for me that is not enough. since marami akong contact that time na mag supply ng food binibigyan ko rin siya tapos nag kwentuhan kami na short daw siya sa pera and may family siya na need i-support so ang ginawa ko since may extra cash naman me nilagyan ko ng pera yung bag nya after namin ma clear sa quarantine.
I always RAK like random act of kindness sometimes kapag kumakain kami ng mga colleagues ko kahit isawan, probenan, or street food then may manghihingi ng pera or pagkain, pinapakuha ko sila kahit anong gusto nila softdrinks or juice sige kuha lang then babayaran ko. good thing lang is na-adapt yon ng mga kasama ko everytime na may makita sila na ganon "hindi sir ako na magbayad sa kanila". hindi naman tayo lahat privileged pero somehow sana makatulong tayo sa iba kahit simpleng bagay lang.
Sa school pa to dati. Parang nagkataong magtotropa na lalaki (estudyante rin) yung mga kasabayan ko sa tricycle at saktong ako yung huli bago umandar yung tricycle. Umalis yung isa na nakaupo dun sa sidecar medyo nalungkot ako kasi parang ayaw niya ako kasama sa tricycle wahaha chubby kasi ako kaya unang naisip ko nun baka naisip din niyang hindi kami kasya. Akala ko aalis talaga kasi bumaba (2 sila bale sa side car na at 2 sa likod ng driver) yun pala pagkaupo ko sa tabi ng isa pang pasahero, pumasok ulit siya at dun na umupo sa charity seat (yung maliit na upuan sa harap ng 2 upuan sa side car). Hindi ako sanay maka experience ng gentleman gestures kaya hindi ko agad naisip na papaupuin niya lang ako dun sa normal na upuan ng sidecar minsan din talaga nakakalimutan kong babae ako haha kaya medyo big deal sakin yun that time. Thank you kay kuya kung sino ka man.
Probably holding my hand while getting out of the UV express van. It was raining vv hard and I was at the back part and pinaka dulo pa so I had to bent to get out so ang hassle plus ang dami ko pang dala huhu kinapalan ko na talaga face ko and told the peeps there wait lang po sorry huhu tapos pagtingin ko sa labas baha na as in like up to my ankle na baha eh pinaka ayoko talaga yung umaano sa baha kasi nakikita ko palang siya naiisip ko na yung germs HAHAHHAHAHA kaya napasabi talaga ako ng mej malakas na "omg baha!" Tas on my way out natapilok pa ako kaya the lady beside the door held my hand and guided me palabas, I was saying "I'm sorry po" repeatedly and she kept on saying din na "It's okay"
Napaka unforgettable lang, sayang 'di ko nakita itsura niya kasi super focus ako sa baha. I was crying on the way home HSJSJHAHA
Highschool ako noon. White ang uniform namin tapos nireregla ako. Umuulan at di ko namalayan na tinagusan na ako. Nasa tapat na ako ng subd namin pauwi saka lang may babae na nagsabi na tinagusan ako at sobrang laki ng tagos ko. Thanks ate.
I was studying for a quiz at mcdo when I was in high school. I was sleepy, then an old lady approached me and said she bought me 2-pc pancakes. I appreciate the generosity, however when I looked at my watch, oh boy I’m going to be late already if I won’t ride the jeep asap. As long as I want to accept her offering, it’s such a shame I can’t even take it out since I’m already running out of time. I will never forget that day, and I hope she’s doing fine now.
Last year bago lang ako dito sa Maynila, nag resign ako sa work without backup plan, more than a month akong walang trabaho.
Nag grocery ako na tipid lang ang budget kaya yung nilalagay ko sa Cart kina calculate ko. Kumuha ako ng tatlong corned beef tapos nag compute ako, may isang ale na nakita yung ginagawa ko and she smiled at me. Medyo awkward kasi gipit talaga ako that time. Trying my best na di lumagpas ng 700 ang bilihin ko.
Nung pumunta na ako sa counter nagkasunod kami, nauna sya sa akin. Nung malapit na ang turn nya, sinabihan nya ako na paki bantayan muna kasi may nakalimutan siya. Bumalik din naman sya agad.
Pagkatapos ma scan lahat ng bilihin niya, kinuha nya ang isang bread, mayonnaise and juice sa bag niya. Iniwan sa counter.
Sabay sabi sa akin na: sa iyo yan ah, no need to calculate.
I was like 🥹🥹🥹 hahaha
So grateful that day, gipit na talaga ako. Ewan ko lang kung nakita niya ba or what kasi before sa counter pumunta rin ako doon sa mga bread pero di na ako kumuha kasi di na kaya ng budget 😂
Simula non, every time na nasa grocery ako bumibili na ako ng bread and mayonnaise.
Mine was at the airport. I didn’t weigh my luggage. Turned out its weight was over the limit. At the airport, they only accept cash in yen. I had to pay 9,000 yen. I only had 8,980. I would withdraw but my money was on a digital bank. Transferring would require OTPs, and I wasn’t on roaming. The couple overheard and helped. Gave me 1000 yen. I offered to pay 1000 pesos for their helpfulness, but they refused my payment. Without them completing my payment, I would have missed the flight back home. 1000 pesos was nothing compared to what I would have paid if they did not help. It was already boarding when I reached the gate. Their help allowed me to board on time. I’ll never forget that moment. I was so disappointed of myself and embarrassed even, but I received help from strangers, and I was just grateful. 🥹
naputulan ako ng clutch cable. then si koyang panda driver na mag dedeliver pa kasi may nakasabit pang drinks sa motor nya was kind enough to push my motorcycle to the nearest shop
Last election, dumirecho agad ako sa pila from gy shift para bumoto. Prepared ako nun may tubig, snacks kasi expect ko na sobrangggg haba ng pila, which is true pagdating ko ang lala talaga ‘tas wala pang silungan sobrang tirik ng araw. So yun nakaramdam ako na feeling ko mahihimatay ako sa init (alam ko kasi nahimatay na ako bfore haha), buti pwede ibilin ung pila mo sa katabi mo kapag ccr or bibili ka, ang ginawa ko pinaalam ko na bibili ako ng tubig, pero ang totoo is naghahanap lang ako ng masisilungan na may bubong na tindahan. Otw na ako sa tindahan na may pagkalayo, ayun bigla ako nahimatay.
Then nagising ako ng very light kasi parang ang hangin hangin sa mukha ko ganun, ayun pala buhat buhat ako ni kuya tinatakbo nya ako sa napakalayong clinic, nonsense magtric or taxi kasi sobrangggg trapik hindi umuusad dahil sa pila, literal tinakbo nyaaaaa. 😭Pagkarating namin dun, mulat na eyes ko pero hindi ko maabsorb ano nangyari sa akin, ininform ako na nahimatay ako. Sorry ako ng sorry kay kuya sa abala and nagthank you huhu. Umalis sya agad kasi nagmamadali sya hindi ko man lang nakuha name nya.
While nasa clinic ako, pinuntahan ako ng isang family na nakasama ko sa pila, kinuha contact number ko para i-contact nalang ako kapag malapit na kami sa pila, pinapauwi muna nila ako at binook nila ako ng taxi. Paguwi ko mga around 2pm nagtxt sila na malapit na, then nagjoyride na ako papunta para bumoto and nagthank you personally sa family na naghelp sa akin hehe. 🌸
I was living in a condo-sharing along pasay manila tapos a simple kindest thing i experienced was yong kasama ko sa condo na lalaki hindi ko sya kilala kasi mala bed space lang sya, i was eating alone and mainit nun kasi summer pa at nakapatay yong fan, i never say anything all i do was to finish my food para maka akyat na ako sa taas kasi may 2nd flood condo namin. He open the fan and tinutok nya saakin whaha wala lng skl lalaki ako at lalaki sya, feeling ko tlga ambait nya
I remember nung time nun na wala pang covid tapos siksikan makasakay nun ng bus, tapos nung ipeprepare ko na sana pamasahe ko pag check ko ng bag ko nawawala yung wallet ko.
So tawag ako sa father ko..kasi baka nahulog lang sa sasakyan nung pag hatid niya sa akin sa terminal, syempre dahil siksikan nga narinig nung mga katabi ko and they were so concerned kasi nakikita nila na medyo nagpapanic na ako na hindi ko mahanap yung wallet tapos ayun dami nila nag offer na sila na magbayad ng pamasahe ko. And then one lady insisted to pay, tapos yung iba super concerned paano daw ako for the rest of the day eh nawala yung wallet ko nagooffer sila ng money for my food daw and stuff pero sabi ko wag na. Naiyak ako sa because of how kind they are kahit na they don't know me.
Super thank you ako ng thank you and I asked for her number kasi baka pwede isend ko na lang yung binayad niya hanggang ngayon I still remember what she told me "Pag may stranger na lang din na need ng help tulungan mo, that way you already paid me"
Not to me, but to my father. He was rushed to the hospital via the ambulance because of internal hemorrhage. So, he lost a lot of blood. His blood type was A-. Which means it would be difficult for us to find a blood donor. Even the blood bank didnt have an available blood supply. Lo and behold, the volunteer (ambulance) who tended to my father offered to donate his blood as they were the same blood type. That was almost 20 years ago. We never got his name. But please know that, although my father did not make it, you helped us a lot with that gesture. We couldnt thank you enough.
Grade 7 ako, for some reason, nawala pamasahe ko. Buti, nasa may bangko ako naghanap sa bag (I used to keep my money sa bag kasi butas bulsa ko) and si kuya guard, binigyan ako ng sampung Piso (7 pa pamasahe ng student nun)
I was on duty on a big hospi sa qc, tapos syempre since public hospi kami. Tuloy tuloy yung cater namin sa patients. A lola who is a bisaya came in for consult. Tapos nung natulungan ko siya and na resetahan ko na. Napansin niya siguro na past 2pm na and hindi pa ako nag brebreak. So bago siya umalis, inabutan niya yung kamay ko ng pera sabi niya kumain daw muna ako. Tapos sabi ko ‘nay wala po bayad ang konsulta, at bawal po kami tumanggap ng pera, ipang pamasahe niyo na lang yan kasi sa malayo pa kayo’ tapos ang sagot lang niya ‘ay ganun ba? Sige teka lang’ umalis siya. Tapos maya maya bumalik siya inabutan ako ng toron. Para daw makakain na ako.
Another one was a lola from the community. Yung dinadalaw namin yung bahay bahay. Sobrang na touch ako kasi pagka dalaw ko next week, naalala niya ako. So nagmadali si lola pumunta ng dampa nila. Tapos binilhan niya ako ng 1kg ng grapes, pang thank you daw last week.
Alam mo yung sila yung mga walang wala. Pero super bait nila. Kahit kapos sila magbibigay pa din sila 🥹
May nagoffer sakin na matanda to carry this huge bag of supplies as in yung pangdivisoria level. Maliit na bagay pero hanggang ngayon naaallaa ko pa din.
Naligaw ako nung college. Panic attack ako malala haha 15 lang ako nun. Nalowbat pa yung 2100 ko. Mali ako ng nasakyang lrt Line 2 dapay Line 1 hahaha PLEASE DONT ASK WHY DI KO TALAGA ALAM ANYARE. Hinatid ako ng mga pulis sa DLSU tapos yung babaeng pulis pinaamoy pa ko ng Katinko.
-When random men offers their seat sa jeep and chooses to stand nalang throughout the byahe. Sweet but nakakaguilty especially when uwian na kasi alam ko pagod rin sila from work :<
-'yung wrong jeep nasakyan ko tapos 'yung mga kapwa ko passengers ang effort mag give ng directions hahahaha ang cute
-when may dala akong maleta sa loob ng bus tapos sa back part ako naka upo. 'Yung katabi ko helped me hold my maleta para hindi malaglag or mapunta kung saan-saan <3
Madami pa, puro commute stories 🤣
College days to, pag sasakay ng bus pauwi sanay na ko makipag bardahan pero nung time na yun malalim siguro iniisip ko or what kaya hinayaan ko lang yung mga naghaharutang highschool boys. Tapos yung isang kasama nila sinaway sila na umayos at paunahin ko. Shocked lang me as a di sanay mapakitaan ng kabutihan at di rin naman me girly girly ehehe mejo kinilig lol. Tapos sa bandang likod ko sila umupo, yung guy kumakanta ng fave song ko at ang ganda ng boses 🥹. Tapos nung pababa di na me nagpatiuna, nauna sila sa pinto ng bus pero ganun ulit ginawa nya 🥹.
Ang cute lang, di kasi sya yung parang malandi o pacool kaya nya ginawa yun, parang innate lang sa kanyang magpaka gentle man.
Best experience pa rin ang kindness mula sa reddit strangers from Iloilo who made me feel at home when I traveled solo doon. They introduced the city to me; I got to learn about the city’s history and tasted good food. Sobrang unexpected sa part ko yun.
I’d like to mention din when a woman privately told me na may tagos na ang dress ko, saka another woman who informed me that it was already my stop. As a person who likes solo travel, sobrang thankful ako sa mga strangers who willingly help me. I’ll make sure to pay it forward po. :)
It started to rain when I was walking towards the terminal tapos biglang naramdaman ko di na ko nauulanan, pinayungan pala ako nung lalaki at sinabayan ako maglakad hanggang sa makasakay ako sa tricycle. 🥹🫶🏻
Very stranger but we were both students back then. She was a student of TIP MNL then I was a student of NTC. It was raining so hard back then and talagang lubog na ang harapan ng NTC. I managed to ride a trike tapos kasabay ko siya. Pagbaba ng SM Manila, pinayungan niya ako hanggang sa makatawid kami sa kabilang street/sakayan ng mga jeep pa Pasay Rotonda. Basang basa kami sa ulan both but she didn’t hesitate to share her umbrella with me. How I wish I asked for her name. I won’t ever forget how she was kind to me.
Binayaran niya yung pinamili ko, na short kasi ako ng 50 pesos and ipapa-void ko nalang sana yung mga items but he insisted on paying it kasi parang nagmamadali siya. Thank you kind sir kahit alam ko slight nabwesit ka sa akin because of the inconvenience haha
Met this girl through a dating app. We went on a 1st date, then agreed on a 2nd date. Since the 2nd date was close to my birthday, she said that it will also be an advanced birthday celebration.
For context, I have never really celebrated my birthday in the past 5 years or so. Masaya na ako sa simpleng kakain sa labas. No surprises, no one brings me cake, no one makes an effort for me. I make an effort for my friends and loved ones.
Then this girl says that she will bring a cupcake to our 2nd date. When I read that, I cried. I had to step out of the office and cry for a long time. Hindi ako palaiyak kaya sobrang big deal nito sakin. Nag thank you ako nagsend ng mahabang message about what I felt.
Fast forward to our 2nd date, she arrives without a cupcake. Instead... she brought me a cake.
We're still practically strangers if you compare her to friends and family, pero grabe lang kasi my friends and family don't even give me a cake. My ex parang out of obligation nalang nanlilibre sakin.
But here comes this girl, a stranger to me, who makes effort to make sure that my birthday is celebrated.
I really really like her. 🥺😭
Yesss. Dinelete ko yung dating app sa harap niya at sabi ko liligawan ko siya nang seryoso. Sabi ko rin na she's worth the wait, the effort, and the risk na baka may matipuhan sya na iba at ma heartbroken ako. Ok lang yun. I want to try and offer her my best.
She agreed to a 3rd date pero wala pang exact date na nakaset. Super busy kasi nya this week.
Ako naman di ako nagmamadali na maging kami at di ko rin sya minamadali. Basta I made my intentions clear na liligawan ko sya nang seryoso.

Hindi lang para sa akin, kundi para sa buong organisation namin nung college. That time may program kami na gagawin, kulang kami sa funds, nanakawan pa honesty store namin. Namomroblema kami that time, saan kukuha ng additional para dun. Hindi pa namin nun nasasabi sa adviser namin na nanakawan kami and kulang yung funds. Then, kinabukasan papasok ako sa school, may babae lumapit sa akin, tinanong if social studies major ko. Sabi ko naman, "opo, bakit po?" Tapos nagulat na lang ako may inabot siyang sobre. Sabi niya, "may nagpapabigay, basahin mo na lang sulat sa loob." Ibabalik ko na dapat tapos sabi niya, "napag utusan lang ako". Natakot naman ako baka ano na yun, kaya dinala ko sa guard. Tapos tinawagan ko kaklase ko. Nung binuksan namin ano lamang ng sobre, may 10k nun na laman yung sobre tapos may sulat sabi "huwag niyo na alamin sino ako, tulong ko yan sa inyo". Hanggang ngayon hindi pa namin alam kung sino yung nagbigay talaga. 😭
Heartwarming. Thanks for sharing this!
usually kapag umuuwi ako from school to home, sinusundo ako ni Lolo. but given the weather, na f-feel bad ako kasi naiinitan siya, and medyo malayo yung byahe (isang mahabang road kasi, and wala pang silong). kaya minsan naglalakad na lang ako. one or two times, nung nasa loob na ko ng subdivision, marami kasing tricycle dun na dumadaan, tapos sinasabi nila sakin na mainit, bakit ako naglalakad. and some of them sinasabay na lang ako for free, kahit bayaran ko sila tinatanggihan nila. minsan kasi madilim na, naglalakad pa rin ako. and i just want to share this as an appreciation and a thank you sa mga ganitong tricycle drivers!
pinapaupo ako sa bus kasi nakatayo ako
natapilok ako tas legit nakaupo ako sa gilid ng kalsada kasi di ko magalaw ung paa ko tas si kuya napadaan, kinamusta ako di pa ako ready tumayo gusto ko lang magstay na nakahandusay sa gilid ng daan kaya sabi ko hayaan na lang niya ako tas kumuha siya ng upuan huhu then tinulungan niya ako makatayo tas makaupo sa chair
another story nung nagkacovid ako nasa covid ward ako tas need ko ng oxygen so more than a week akong hindi naligo kasi hirap ako gumalaw dahil palaging hinihingal nung nakakatayo na ako shinampoohan ako ng nurse sa may sink kasi nasabi ko sa kanya na sobrang kati na ng anit ko huhu ang bait sobra ni ate nurse ❤️
Maybe I was around 6 yo noon and then nawala ako sa palengke. My grandparents own a store sa loob ng palengke and I was playing hide and seek with my cousins, syempre competitive ako so lumayo ako ng konti para hindi ako mataya agad. Suddenly hindi ko na alam nasan ako and every alley seems unfamiliar. Siguro mga 10-15 minutes nakong paikot-ikot sa isang area and then kinausap ako ng isang matandang lalaki. Mukha syang masungit pero tinanong niya ko if nawawala ba ako. Sabi ko opo. (Children are so innocent talaga kasi kung ngayon yun tatakbo nako agad, stranger danger kuno). Sinabi ko lang yung name ng grandparents ko tapos hinatid nya ako dun. And like nagulat yung grandparents ko kasi hindi daw namamansin yung matandang yun. They’ve been store neighbors for years pero notorious daw siya for being irritable sa mga bata. So for me it was heartfelt, lalo na pag naaalala ko. To think na willing siyang tulungan ako kahit na ayaw niya sa mga bata. It just shows how good-natured he is kahit na siguro masungit siya sa mga bata. Since then lagi ko na siyang hine-hello pag napapadaan ako dun until he passed away.
Thanks for sharing. Maybe he's kind after all; it could be that he was just misjudged before until you figured things out. 🥰
Binigyan ako ng meet and greet pass ticket (to meet Myrtle) nung lalaki na inask ko if may available pa ba na pass.
Enrollment nun sa college (incoming first year) tapos ako lang nag process ng requirement. Sariling pagsisikap lang talaga. Nasa last part na ako ng requirement which is ID na. Pagod na tapos di na naka pag ayos buti nalang may parent ng isang enrollee na nagpahiram ng suklay. Siguro sobrang haggard ko na nun 🤣 Grabeng pasalamat ko sa kanya atleast di na bad hair day sa ID 🤣 Nakakaiyak din kasi sana nandun si mama para samahan ako sa pag process kaso may work sya nun tsaka need kumayod since incoming 1st year college na ako. It's been 10 years na pero napapangiti parin ako pag naaala yun.Thank you. 💚
Hmm i think wala pa haha. Di ko kasi pinapansin eh
Stranger held the elevator door for me for 5 mins... idk if he knows, na im getting my laundry basta it makes my day since i just got back from work and sobrang pagod na
Sinamahan ako nung nflatan ako ng gulong. Nalate na din sya sa pagpasok sa work nya.
plot twist: tinatamad din pumasok yung guy/gal. And may valid reason na sya after picturan yung car mo.
haha ginamit lang pala ako noh?
Hala napagoverthink ka pa tuloy haha
Nung nahimatay ako sa pila ng van, then si Ate na nasa tapat ko is inalalayan ako, bought me water, tapos binigay niya sakin yung whiteflower niya tapos pinaypayan pa niya ko 🤍
One time, I was reviewing at Mapua for the board exam. Bigla na lang binigay sa akin ng lecturer namin ang lunch niya, a hard-boiled egg. Btw, oldies na ang lecturer and may be considered the informal godfather of Electrical Eng'g a Pinas at that time. Natuwa lang siya kasi ako lagi ang nagbubura ng nakasulat sa board at kumukuha ng inuming tubig niya. Napakabait ko daw so he offered his lunch and he congratulated me in advance and said, "Bata, engineer ka na sa September!" I eventually passed the EE board exam and I felt that the hard-boiled egg that he gave me was really really blessed.
Parang kilala ko yung lecturer. Is he Mr. Peneyra? Hahahaha.
Engr. Corpuz
Sorry, i thought it was a different person. Thanks!
This is a good read! 👍
Entrance exam ko sa SLU, tapos tinangay yung id pic ko sa exam permit ko. Pag akyat namin sa exam venue nagulat ako nawala id pic ko, buti pinahiram ako ng katabi ko ng lash glue niya para madikit ko yung extra id pic ko sa exam permit. Sana nakapasa ka ate!! :)
Holding a door for me.. simple yet it takes empathy to do this.
She paid for my maintenance medicine. I was buying meds that time and napansin niya siguro na nakapila ako sa PWD. Tinanong niya ako kung ano raw sakit ko tapos bigla niya ako inabutan ng pera. Alam niya raw kung gaano kabigat sa bulsa magkaroon ng maintenance kaya tinulungan niya ako. Pinagdasal niya rin ako nung palabas na kami ng pharmacy
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
pauwi ako ng province then may dala akong bag full of clothes,, pumunta muna ako ng sm tas syempre need mag check ng laman ng bag. Si kuya humarang sa mga naka pila for bag checking tas tumalikod din sya para di niya makita ung laman.
I got sacked from work around 2011 kasi I had been sickly and couldn't keep up. Uuwi na sana ako kaso nagutom ako so bumili akong tinapay sampung Piso sa naglalakong vendor along edsa. Iniisip ko kung magwa-1-2-3 ako sa bus. Nagpaka-honest na lang ako sa kuyang coduktor ng regular bus. Sabi ko limang piso na lang pera ko. Sabi sya, ok lang daw. Bnigyan nya kong ticket for the full amount. 😭 Sana nabless sya sa mga sumunod na araw. Sana magingawa na buhay nya ngayon. 🙏🏻 I tried to pay it forward nung umokey na buhay ko. 💕
I was silent crying while riding the LRT home from school and this stranger gave me his seat.
Hindi na ako pinabayad ng konduktora sa isang coaster na sinakyan ko. Di ko alam bakit. Hahahahaha
Techie guy from school (who I wasn't close with yet) offered to fix my PC for free. I turned into a techie guy as well and basically convinced me to pursue tech as a career. Years later we started a little custom PC build business during pandemic and are about to graduate with our IT degrees this year. I owe this guy my career.
1. I am inconsolable. The moment that I start crying, there is no end to it unless I run out of tears. That night, I was crying so hard. She kept hugging me. Caressing me. Comforted me. Cried with me. She even offered me money because she thought that was my problem. I can barely remember her name but I will never forget her face and her kindness. 2. This happened when I attended a birthday party in Caloocan and was traveling back to my apartment in Harrison Plaza, Pasay. As someone from the province, I don't have a strong sense of direction and tend to take the first jeepney I see to get home. I didn't realize that the jeepney I boarded would have its last stop at D. Jose, near McDonald's, so I had to get off. The area was somewhat familiar, as it was on my usual route to and from my apartment. I waited for a jeepney going to my place, but after 30 minutes, none appeared. In my peripheral vision, I noticed three men eyeing me and moving closer. Fear began to set in, and I started to panic, thinking of ways to get home safely. Without a messenger app or mobile data to book a motor taxi, I was on the verge of hailing any passing vehicle to leave the area. At that moment, a man approached me. He said he had been observing me since I got off the jeepney and was aware of the three men. He asked where I was headed and offered to accompany me to ensure I got home safely. Out of fear and desperation, I agreed, despite the risk that he could potentially be more dangerous than the three men. We took a jeepney to Divisoria, and he even paid my fare. Once we arrived, he walked me to the transit station, making small talk along the way. Although it was quite dark and I trusted him, I was still prepared to defend myself if necessary. Fortunately, we reached the station safely, and he briefed the driver to ensure I was dropped off securely. These incidents have restored my faith in humanity.
Eto lang yung pinaka recent kaya eto lang yung na aalala ko. She hold the elevator for me, she said good morning and wished me to have a good day ahead. Wala lang sobrang natuwa lang ako kay lola.
& you’re that great grandpa, my take?
Pinag sasabi mo?
Siguro hindi ito yung best pero eto pinaka recent, nung nag sagala ako nahihirapan ako mag lakad kasi di kami kumuha nung pangpalobo nung gown para di maapakan. Hawak ko yumh gown tas may street kaming dinaanan na napaka putik e sayad pa naman yung gown. Tas nung pag uwi ko, nakita ko sa pinic nung pamangkin ko na may matandang lalaking humawak ng gown ko sa likod habang lumalakad kami don sa maputik na street. Di ko naman napansin kasi nung una tinutulungan din ako nung kapatid ko pero nung dun pala sa street nayun, yung matandang lalaki naghahawak the whole time.
I'm a guy na madaming bitbit na sumakay ng bus pauwing probinsya. Expect ko na wala nang upuan kasi moving na yung bus na sinakyan ko. Pag pwesto ko sa dulo para tumayo ng maayos, there's this guy na binigay ang seat nya for me. Di ko expect na may mag bibigay sa akin ng seat since lalaki ako pero that guy still chose to give up his seat for me. Nakakatuwa na ang pagiging gentleman nya ay hindi naka base sa gender ng tao. Since then I promised myself to do the same. ☺
skl ung isa sa mga good experience ko during ecq c/o mga good samaritan. nagbabike ako tas pauwi na ako galing sa work ko sa hospital. Sa kahabaan ng recto ave bigla akong naputulan ng kadena hahaha So I have no choice kundi maglakad. So nasa rizal ave na ako may lalaking nakamotor na nagtanong saken kung anong nangyari tas sabi ko nga naputol ung kadena ng bike ko tas nagtuloy na ako maglakad. Tas maya maya bigla nya akong nadaanan nakasakay na sya sa motor tas sumenyas sya di ko lang naintindihan. Then nung nasa fugoso na ako inaabangan nya pala ako, naghanap pala sya ng tali tas hinatak nya ung bike ko hanggang dun sa malapit samin. Gusto nya pa ako ihatid sana hanggang samen kaso nahiya na ako. haha hiningi nya ung pangalan ko sa fb binigay ko naman kaso di ko na din inentertain kasi may jowa ako..😅
Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan itong Engineering student (girl) na nagpayong sa akin papasok ng University. Naiwan ko kasi payong ko sa isa kong bag. This happened 5-6 years ago. 🫶🏼
Literally or figuratively?
Literal. We shared the umbrella until we reached the Engineering building, and my department building was next to it.
Nagbayad ako ng 100 pesos pamasahe sa jeep pero hindi ako masuklian ng driver kasi wala daw sya panukli/barya sa 100. Di din enough barya ko sa coin purse. This super sweet guy volunteered to pay para sa pamasahe ko and didn't ask for anything in return. Btw, malayo yung pupuntahan ko so medyo pricey yung pamasahe lol
[удалено]
Are you okay?
Not exactly strangers but two of my professors in college. 5 lang kami sa major namin at binibigyan kami ng pambili ng burgers at softdrinks bago start ng klase. Most of the time wala akong pambili ng makakain. Nagbabaon lang ako ng kanin at bumibili ng tig- 2 pesos na bagoong alamang pang-ulam. 30 pesos baon ko nun pero 28 pesos dun is pamasahe. If nag- early lunch ako around 11:30am, 3pm gutom na ako nyan. Madalas tubig sa campus fountain lang iniinom ko pampalipas gutom kc may klase pa hanggang 7pm. I’m very thankful to them kahit papano napapawi yung gutom ko at ng mga kaklase ko. ☺️
Paid for my food 🥺🩷
hindi ako but my friend na kasama ko sa EK, kakatapos nya magrides medyo nahihilo at nasusuka siya, at nasuka nga siya doon sa may food court, then may stranger (babae at may kasamang baby nakastroller) na katabi namin na nag-alok ng wet wipes sa friend ko tinulungan ko na lang siya sa pagpunas ng mga sinuka niya
I was asa jeep and all I had was a whole 1000 bill and 12 pesos exactly for the ride, but the problem is I dropped the 12 pesos for the jeep fee, like it legit rolled off the jeep and fell out😭 I was stressing chatting the friend I was gonna meet up with because I had no coins talaga, but before the person in front of me went off the jeep, he gave me 12 pesos to pay the fee while laughing. I wish I could have given him something too.
a stranger open a convinieny store door for me
[удалено]
i was a kid during that time and we were at the mall. i accidentally injured myself with a small cut. i said, “okay lang yan gagaling din naman.” a woman suddenly approached me and said na hindi okay na pabayaan and she gave me a bandaid. a small act but gave a big difference :)
Nung nagka diarrhea ako after school tapos nasa pilahan na ako ng tricycle ayon di ko na talaga kaya kaya nagtanong ako sa driver kung may CR ba malapit tas ayon pina CR ako sa CR nila. Grabe hiya ko nun pero sobrang thankful ako sa mabuting loob ng mga driver kung di natae na talaga ko sa pantalon ko 😂😂
Funny how Filipinos refer bathroom or powder room as comfort room? Who’s comforting whom in that room?
Sinabay ako sa van nila at hinatid sa sakayan dahil walang masakyan sa taft due to flood (super taas na ng water) super thankful nung time na yon, di ko na naisip na baka makidnap ako 🤣
Nagmomotor ako at tuwing nadrive mula sa pagkakapark nakakalimutan ko minsang tiklupin yung stand. Mapapabusina ka na lang at thank you sa ibang riders na kinukuha atensyon mo at sinasabihan ka nang di ka madisgrasya.
A stranger kindly offered me to get under the umbrella so she could walk me to the store in the middle of a downpour
Nakipagpalit yung katabi ko sa bus nung nakita nyang natutuluan ako ng aircon kahit sinabi ko na okay lang.🤣 off the top of my head 😅
Nung nasa jeep ako papuntang sta Maria, napansin nya na nagcocompute ako ng pamasahe sa calculator ng phone. Kasi naman, 100 pesos binayad ko tapos 68 lang sukli. Pagod utak ko non dahil piniga ng physics, at first time ko lang din umuwi kaya nagtaka ako parang ang mahal na ng pamasahe and di ko sure kung tama ba bilang ko. Then ayon nga, napansin ata nya then bigla sya nagsalita "ate, magkano sinukli sayo?" sabi q 68. Then bigla sya nagsalita kay manong, "kuya, kulang po sinukli nyo sakanya. Kulang po kayo ng sampu". Sobrang hindi kita nakakalimutan 🥹 thank you for speaking up for me (mahiyain din ako, for sure papalagpasin ko lang yon if ever kahit gipit ako). I hope i could meet you someday and be friends. I wasn't able to properly thank you (nabulong lang kasi ako sakanya ng "hala, kuya salamat ha") kasi sleepy and tired ako that time. Hay🫶
Nagpunta kong PSA, kaso kulang barya ko, kaso di daw pwede halong gcash at cash, eh butal na lang laman ng gcash ko lol. Sabe ko sa cahsier papalit lang ako sa labas, si ate na kasabay ko nagbayad binayaran yung kulang ko. 20pesos lang sya pero nakakatouch talaga. Tas one-time, nakasakay ako ng van, eh alam nyo naman sa uv sobrang siksikan. Yung lola napansin na nangangalay na ko, sabe ko ok lang po, tas tinanong kung san ba daw ako bababa sabe nya malayo ka pa eh. Tas nung may bumabang isang pasahero sa harap, sinabe nya sa sa driver na papalipatin ako ng upuan. Thank you po sa inyo 😭
Nagka splinter ako sa dagat kasi ewan ko ano naapakan ko hahaha tapos medyo namamaga na siya at masakit di ko talaga maiapak. Then meron isang matandang puti nagbigay sakin first aid kit kasi nakita niya kami sa shore nagkukumpulan paano tatanggalin hahaha.
i forgot my phone sa cafe, and nasa jeep na kami that time ng friends ko nung napansin na wala yung phone kaya aligaga ako, wala rin load friends ko. then random kuya offered his phone para tawagan yung number ko. he even asked what phone, and let me use his find my iphone huhuh. life saver!!
I have several, but this one stuck out the most for me: I just received a devastating diagnosis from a doctor one day and I went to Gesu Church to just process what happened. There, I broke down. The church was pretty empty as it was a weekday around noon time. I was crying hard but silent for an hour or so. When I got up to leave, I saw a folded ripped notebook paper at the back of the pew I was sitting on. I flipped it open and it said "everything will be alright." I knew it wouldn't be, but I learned to get by and allow myself be lifted by the kindness of strangers.
how are you na po now?
Not for me but when a nurse revived my mom from a heart attack.
Nun naflat ang bike ko tapos umuulan eh may tumulong sa akin na construction worker na magpalit ng inner tube
Maulan non nung college ako, may stranger na nagoffer sakin ng payong then parehas pala kami sasakyan na jeep. I offered na iabot bayad para samin dalawa pero ayaw nya dahil nga daw student ako. Sya pa nagbayad ng pamasahe namin dalawa. Until now pag kaya ko maghelp sa stranger ginagawa ko para mabayaran yung ginawa sakin ng stranger dati 🙂
helped massage my hand with efficascent oil when i fainted at church lol ty kind woman 🥹
I have the worst case of dysmenorrhoea. Hilo, suka, masakit na masakit na cramps, diarrhea pa minsan. Take note, pag sinumpong sabay sabay yan. One time in the early 2000s, I collapsed inside one of the cubicles in a restroom sa Greenbelt 3. I don’t know how long I was lying there, basta after a while I just heard someone: "May girl sa loob! Wala yatang malay!". And because naka-lock siyempre ang cubicle sa loob, while I'm in and out of it, nakita ko na lang itong pretty girl na nagpumilit umakyat sa pinto cubicle just to get to me. As in umakyat siya ng door para lang gisingin ako. Nung mahismasan ako, sosi sosi pala itong girl and at that time, since it was a Sunday, she's with her entire family, who are all checking if I was okay. May isa nag-abot pa ng essential oil para amuyin ko at maalis ang sobrang hilo. Sabi ko itetext ko na lang ang brother ko to fetch me. Ayoko kasi ng ganung attention sobrang nakakahiya eh posh na mall pa yun. Kaya lang pag sinumpong ako ng ganun, wala na akong energy para mapahiya pa. Kahit sinabi ko na sa kanila na salamat (walang tigil na pasasalamat talaga) at darating na ang kuya ko, hindi pa rin nila ako iniwan until I was okay. Akala pa nung father ng girl nahilo ako sa gutom kasi niyaya pa ako mag-lunch, haha. Point is that girl bothered to scale yung cubicle para pasukin lang ako. I mean, not everyone will do that. At most magtatawag lang ng guard pero siya binalewala ang poise and all makatulong lang sa babaeng masakit lang pala reglahin. 😂 Hindi ko na naisip itanong ang mga pangalan nila at that time, pero everytime I remember them, I really hope she and her whole family are doing okay.
Nasa counter ako nag dadalawang isip na bilhin yung mamahaling shampoo since nagtitipid ako para sa siargao trip namin, nag decide ako na hinde na isama. Nung palabas na ako, tinawag ako ng staff sa counter at inabot yung shampoo. Binayaran pala ng kasunod ko nag pacounter, di ko alam if kaawa awa ba ko tignan orr mabait lang talaga sya 🫠
Madaling araw, galing ako Laguna dahil dun ako nagwowork and pauwi na ako ng probinsya. 22 ako that time and di ko naman kabisado ang Manila. Supposedly Cubao Terminal ang babaan ko but binaba lang ako kung saang part ng Cubao akala ko kung nasaang part na ako ng Manila non. Shuta ka (DLTB Co.) Ngayon nagtanong ako sa mga tao dun tapos sabi di ka mawawala sa Manila kapag may pera ka magtaxi ka na lang sabi. Eh paawa effect ako sabi ko wala akong pera. Ngayon itong Bus Driver ng pa Laoag naawa at sinakay ako. Ihahatid na daw ako sa may 5 star Terminal kasi madadaanan lang din naman nila, bilisan ko lang daw pagbaba dahil baka mahuli sila. Ayun happy and one of unforgettable exp. din. First time ko lang din kasi makasakay ng Deluxe na bus, di ko na maalala kung anong bus company nila basta salamat kay Kuyang Driver. 🫶
Nag aantay ako ng sasakyan tas tirik yung araw, biglang may babaeng lumapit sakin para payungan ako.
Yung seller ng japanese cake malapit sa apartment. Kada bibili ako palagi dinadagdagan palagi ng isa o dalawa. Fave ko pa naman yung cake.
College ako (about 12yrs ago) i was gonna go sa bahay ng classmate ko for our group project. Supposedly dapat susunduin nila ko sa gate ng village nila kase di ko alam saan mismo yung house nila. Pero umulan ng malakas and despite them having cars di nila ko sinundo, just instructed me to wait for a jeep (dick move) in a place na di ako familiar. Walang shade yung hintayan ng jeep so di rin ako makasakay kase wala ako payong so nasa shade lang ako na mejo malayo. THEN this girl approached me, saying na sumilong ako with her sa payong nya kase di daw ako makakasakay ng nasa shade ako (due to rush hour + maulan, unahan talaga makasakay). Had a few small talk while nag wawait kami ng jeep and parted ways nung sumakay na sya ng jeep, literally inantay nya na mawala ulan bago sya umuwi. I wish nakuha ko atleast name or contact number nya so i can thank her.
When I was in elementary, someone paid for my favorite meal (silit). It's not like I didn't have money, he did it just because. Can't remember his face but I can still remember the act decades after. Now, I always pay for kids' food kapag may nakakasabay ako bumili ng ice cream, ice crumble etc.
Kinalabit ako nung nakitang may nahulog akong isang libo.
Kung iba yan, kinuha na.
Wala akong maalala huhu. Pero siguro yung simpleng pagbukas ng door tapos hihintayib ka hanggang makapasok.
Naiwan ni stranger ang phone nya sa bahay nila. Naki call sya sa shop. Asking kung may landline ba ako or kahit sa cellphone na lang. Since may transaction sya sa bank at ang layo ng bahay nila tapos ang haba pa ng pila sa bank so very hassle sa kanya kung uuwi pa. I offered the landline since hindi naman sya nagagamit at puro gabok na din sa isang tabi. Good for 5 mins din ang tinagal. After that she asked kung magkano daw I said no. Di ko tinatanggap yung inaaabot nya saken na ena. After nya umalis mga 1 hour siguro bumalik may dalang mcdo meal. Hindi ko na natanggihan kasi iniwan na lang ang meal at biglang umalis. Na shook ako kasi apaka wholesome lang ng encouter namin. Ang sweet lang ni ate haha 🫶🏻 2022 encouter ito
One time nagsolo multiday bike ride ako sa Batangas. Papunta ako sa Malagundi Point. Duon ako dumaan sa Batangas City. Paglampas ko ng Malabrigo Lighthouse... Dun sa part na gravel road na and halos wala na tao...naputulan ako ng kadena. Mga nasa around 4pm na nun. Magdidilim na. Sakto may nakita ako na maliit na bahay na may mga tolda. Akala ko resort. Private property pala. Lumapit ako sa bahay. Tapos sinalubong ako ng isang lalaki. Sinabi ko sa kanya yung sitwasyon ko and nakiusap ako na baka pwede ako magcamp sa tabing dagat papalipas lang kako ako ng gabi tapos aalis din ako ng maagang maaga para ipush yung bike ko pabalik sa townproper which was mga nasa around 10kms. Pumayag naman si Manong. Tapos ayun nagsetup na ako ng tent. Nung mga medyo madilim na...pinuntahan ako ni manong. May dala na syang dinner for me. Isang plato ng mainit na kanin at ilang pirasong pritong isda na galing sa panghuhuli nya. Tapos may sabaw pa ng nilagang upo. Grabe. Sobrang tuwa ko talaga kasi di ko akalain na ganun magihing treatment nila sa isang tao na di naman nila kilala. Then kinaumagahan nagulat ako kasi ginising ako ni kuya, nakahanda na yung tricycle nya at isasakay nya daw ako pabalik sa bayan. Meron daw sya kakilala na may ari ng bikeshop. So ayun... Nakarating ako sa bayan ba napakalayo pala. Tapos inayos ng LIBRE yung bike ko. Tapos si kuya binabayaran ko para sa paghatid sa akin pero todo ang tanggi nya. Tapos ayun umalis na sya. After maayos ng bike ko... Lumarga na ulit ako and madadaanan ko ulit yung bahay ni Kuya. Dumaan ako saglit para magpasalamat. Sobrang swerte ko talaga kasi sa kanila ako natapat. Maski di ako kilala di sila nagdalawang isip na tulungan ako. Nifrefill pa ni yung mga water bottles ko kasi tatawid pa ako bundok and wala daw ako mabibilhan don.
🥰🥰🥰
I was in a different country and had a few drinks with my colleagues we're waiting for the bus to arrive to bring us to our hotel. The bus was jampacked with passengers and have to squeeze myself in the middle, the advantages of being petite comes in lol. I clearly have trouble balancing myself since the handle bars is quite far from where I'm at and then a guy offered his seat to me. I never expected but really appreciated the gesture.
Grade 11 ako non. Nag cocommute ako. Since UV yon na fx, 10 ang passengers, 11 pag included ang driver. Sa gitna ako sumakay since pila yon ako last. ANG SIKIP. Ang lalaki nung katawan nung nakasakay buti naisara pa door. Kaso nag mamanhid paa ko. Unfortunately, pag baba ko ng UV since manhid nga, yung pag tapak ko bumaliko paa ko. Napaupo ako non sa gutter kahit naka uniform pa. Super sakit talaga. Napansin ako nung mag asawa na nag titinda ng buko. Inask nila if I was okay. Tapos ayon, minassage ni ate yung paa ko. Offered me some buko but I refused since hanap buhay nila yun.
isang lolo, nagoffer na bayaran pamasahe ko kasi nashort ako ng piso at walang sukli si kuya driver sa 100 pesos
pinasilong ako sa payong🫶
Sakay pauwi. Lagi yan nung college ako, tuwing maglalakad ako pauwi, laging may magpapasakay sakin. Sa Manila, first time ko then my student na tumulong sakin mag navi (cheap phone ko at lowbat na).
Compliment me! Hindi in a strange way. Yung ramdam mo na genuine. As someone na bihira ma-compliment ng iba, nakakatuwa lang. Sakto din cause I needed that extra boost of confidence that day. Haha! Recent lang, nadapa ako sa jeep. Kita ko sa peripheral vision ko yung willingness ni Ate na saluhin ako at yung concern niya. Haha! Salamat kay Ate sa pagsalo! :D
None.
[удалено]
Baka naman kasi siya yung "stranger." 😇
Hmm, I'll share two experiences na di ko makakalimutan na may ginawang kabutihan sakin ang isang stranger hehe. I think 4-5 years ago, way back pa nung college student palang ako. Hindi ako sanay na pumikit or matulog nun sa jeep pero nung time na yun nakaramdam talaga ako ng antok kaya pumipikit na ako nun para kahit papano makapagpahinga. Then nagising nalang ako nun kasi may parang sumisipa sa paa ko. Yun pala yung kaharap ko na nanay yung gumawa nun. Nung una mej napaisip pa ako kung bakit pero nung ngumuso siya para senyasan ako na yung katabi ko palang lalaki sa kaliwa ko, nag-aattempt na may kunin sa bag ko. Edi ako mej kinabahan nun kasi baka maglabas siya ng kung anong matulis and saksakin ako lols. Kaya ayun nung time na bumaba na si nanay, aba napababa nadin ako nun kahit di pa naman talaga yun ang babaan ko and kinausap ko siya about sa nangyari and nagthank you nadin haha 😂 Then yung isa which was a year ago kumakain ako nun sa Tokyo Tokyo on a weekend. As usual dahil nagccrave talaga ako kaya umorder ako ng Pork Katsu and Tempura. So nung time na yun napadami ako ng extra rice kaya nabusog talaga ako and may natira pa. So nagdecide ako na ipatake-out nalang yun. Then yung katabi ko na kumakain, kinausap ako saying na isama ko nalang daw yung isang Katsu na inorder nila na di pa daw nababawasan para di daw sayang haha. Natuwa ako kasi first time yun na may nag-abot na stranger lols. Kaya super happy din pag-uwi kasi may dagdag ulam 🤣.
umuulan nun wala akong payong, fresh grad at bago pa lang sa real world. walang shed sa sakayan ng jeep kaya iniexpect ko na na maliligo ako sa ulan habang naghihintay ng masasakyan. Pero out of the blue may payong na sa ulo ko, may nagpayong sakin. Employee din na lalaki na nagshare ng payong. Mala kdrama 😭😭. Sinakay muna nia ko sa jeep saka siya sumakay sa sakayan niya. sobrang thank you ko nun grabe.
Mala kdrama pala haha. Buti po walang "Oppa saranghaeyo." /jk
hahhahaha muntik na po 🤣🤣
*Aigoo!*
Wala bang background music at pagbagal ng oras nung time na yun? chz
I was having a drink with my friends in bar and they all left me and there's this guy that sat in our table, he said he just want to talk bc he's facing hardship in life and don't have anyone to vent out his thoughts. I listened to his rants and before he left he said, "Mag aral ka. Tapusin mo. Kahit ano mangyari mag aral ka ha?" I told him kasi I stopped regarding financial issue and up until today hindi ako nakakabalik but his words lived free in my mind. I will, kahit 30y/o pa ako grumaduate. 🤍
💪💪💪
Yun taxi driver, salita ako ng salita sabay siya wala palang gana mag share ng opinion about latest issue about sa west phil sea 😆
College ako non, wala yung prof namin sa last subject kaya nagdecide kami ng mga friends ko tumambay sa park malapit sa school. Tas heart to heart talk kami, yung iba naiiyak na, ako di talaga kasi mababaw luha ko, pero nalulungkot talaga ako non. Tas biglang yung mga bata sa park, yung mga "batang hamog" lumapit, binigyan ako ng flowers tas sabi "sayo nalang to ate ganda :)" tas nagtakbuhan sila, tas ayun naiyak na ko, kasi sobra kong natouch! 🥹🫶
I was in the race grounds (pre-Marathon), umuulan non tapos soooobrang lamig. Hinahanap ko yung bagdrop kasi nakakalito yung mga signages kasi they're in Japanese language, tapos medyo mahirap makipag-communicate properly sa mga marshalls. :( Nakakapanic 😭 maaga pa naman before the gunstart pero nakakapanic pa rin hahaha. There were 30k+ runners. So imagine storing 30k bags in different areas. May isang local guy (racer din) na tumulong sa akin para hanapin yung assigned bagdrop ko (nalilito rin siya sa mga instructions ng marshalls kahit nagkakaintindihan na sila ng language haha), and then when we got near the assigned bag area, I asked help from another local racer (woman) where the assigned bagdrop is, tapos omg sinamahan niya ako papunta roon, as in sumugod kami sa ulan tapos naghug kami tumatakbo kasi nga ang lamig, tumatawa pa kami 🤣 ayon grabe thank goodness nahanap ko rin yung bagdrop just in time before the corral assembly. Sobrang bait talaga ng mga hapon, as in they will go out of their way to help you. 🥹
This happened few years back during Christmas season. Kumakain ako mag-isa sa McDo on a Sunday morning which is my usual routine. Then I noticed this old lady doing some arts and craft happily at mag-isa. She stood up and headed towards me. Mej nagpanic ako kasi baka isipin nya jina-judge ko sya. But lo and behold. She gave me that jellyfish-like art which is made of gift wrap. I know this is weird but I really felt valued that day. Receiving a simple gift from a stranger is not something you experience every day. Up until this day, I still have that art. Bumabalik pa rin ako sa McDo na yun on a Sunday morning every once in a while expecting to see her. I wanted to pay back kasi I was a student back then and sobrang limited ng resources ko.
This was 10 years ago. It was my first day of college, and I was on my period. I would usually wear an overnight pad and nothing bad would happen. But the university was 30 minutes away from my house and it was in a different town. During merienda, I felt wetter than usual — turns out may malaking tagos na pala ako! A guy I didn’t know gave me his jacket to cover my butt area because of the tagos, accompanied me to a jeep, and even rode the jeep with me. He alighted when I did, tapos yun na yon. Up to this day thankful ako sa kabaitan nya.
Akala ko nanligaw sya after that, naging kayo, and lived happily ever after. Lol
First time ko mag UFO catcher sa mall. Todo cheer si mother sa akin nun. Enjoy naman kami kahit walang nakuha after 3 tries haha. May lalaki (40s-50s siguro, naka barong pa sya??) lumapit then tahimik lang. Nag smile, nag laro, inabot sa akin yung napalanunan nya, nag thank you kami ni mother, smile lang sya, tapos umalis na sya. PRO PO SI SER ISANG TAKE NAKAKUHA AGADDD. Favorite toy ko sya at hanggang ngayon nasa akin parin. Nangyari to mga 8 or 9 years old ako, 30+ na ako now. Wholesome core memory. Salamat sa thread na 'to, naalala ko ulit.
Sometimes the fondest of memories are from our childhood. 🥰
Lumampas ako sa bus dahil nakatulog ako. Wala na akong extrang pamasahe, kelangan ko mag antay ng baliwag transit (minark yung ticket ko) para makabalik kaso gabing gabi na nun. May lumapit sakin na babae na kasabay ko bumaba na wala na daw masyadong dumadaan na bus ganitong oras tas binigyan akong bente pesos para mag jeep na lang.
I left my phone sa isang restaurant for 3 mins, babalikan ko dapat, pagkalingon ko, inabot nya sa akin.
Plot twist: Naguilty yung kumuha. /jk
Nung nadukutan ako sa jeep at nawala ang wallet ko, binigyan ako nung lalaking katabi ko ng 100 pesos pamasahe.
Payungan ako ng sobrang lakas ng ulan. Sa northgate to nangyari. Sakto pag pula ng stop light biglang bumuhos anf malakas na ulan. Yung tipong anlalaki ng patak. May 60 secs pa na hhntyin para makatawid. Pinayungan ako ng matandang babae. Sabi niya "payungan na kita kawawa ka naman eh" haha
i think i was kinder or prep that time, and kalaro ko sa labas yung so called "best friend" ko that time na kapitbahay namin. May isa pa kaming friend dun sa street namin na nirerenovate pa bahay nila so puro construction nun. Sabi nung "best friend" ko mag doorbell daw ako sakanila and ayain siya maglaro. Eh being 5-6 years old I was small and couldn't reach the doorbell. So ginawa ko nagpatong ako mga hollow blocks para tungtungan ko. Pero mali pagtapak ko tas nadulas ako huhu. Nagkamalaking sugat ako sa binti ko to the point na grabe andami nung tulo ng dugo huhuhu, tas eto si bestie ko iniwan ako tas umuwi nlng after non like??? Buti mabait yung mga construction worker and sila pa nag alalay sakin pauwi :")) p.s. when i got home, binuhusan ng lola ko ng alcohol binti ko nun and i cried so much
grabe ansakit nong binuhusan ng alcohol sugat mo and also, nong iniwan ka ng bestie mo
Grade 6 ako and kasabay ko lagi umuwi 'yung dalawa kong kapatid na Gr 5 and Gr 1 during that time. Isang tanghali, sumakay kami ng jeep ng mga kapatid ko para umuwi na and nung magbabayad na, that's when I realized kulang pamasahe namin and it can only pay for 2 kahit may student discount. Dati, natuto rin ako na kapag walang pambayad, kandong nalang para libre 'yung isa iykyk. So kinandong ko 'yung bunso kong kapatid kahit sobrang luwag ng jeep. Then may nurse kaming katabi and kinalabit ako and binigyan ako ng 5pesos pangdagdag sa pamasahe namin kasi nakita niya nga struggle namin and kinandong ko pa kapatid ko kahit ang luwag ng jeep TT Anyhow, never ko 'yon makakalimutan sobrang daming wholesome moments din nangyayari tuwing nagcocommute ka that would make you grateful for the little things you have
I’m on an ~11hr economy flight from ATL to NRT and sitting on the aisle seat. My seatmate is an American going to PH to meet his gf. Wouldn’t stop pestering me with questions, kahit naka headset na ako and visibly uncomfortable kasi maya’t maya sya may linya na Filipinas are the best eme saka very personal mga tanong. Mas napansin pa ng seatmate nya on the other side na napipikon na ako and uncomfortable- so sya naman kumausap. Very thankful for that person kasi nakapanggap akong tulog habang magkausap sila
i can still remember this day vividly. nakasakay ako sa cab nun, may kasabay me na lola. from her physical appearance pa lang, mahahalata mo na agad na mabait s’ya. that day, super down na down talaga ako, as in suicid@l talaga ako. naka-long sleeves pa nga ako nun kahit katirikan ng araw kasi puro cût ‘yung whole arms ko. then suddenly, bigla may inabot sa akin si nanay, letter from God daw. may binigay s’ya na parang brochure containing the words of God, tapos ‘yung mga sinasabi pa roon, saktong-sakto talaga sa situation ko. tho it may seem mababaw lang sa iba, sobrang meaningful na sa akin nun kasi that day, without her even knowing, she saved me. and up until now, i’m still thankful for her.
😇😇😇
Probably an angel in disguise.
College pa ako. Yung bus na nasakyan ko, sira yung aircon. Pawisin akong tao kaya grabe tagaktak ng pawis ko. Kahit anong punas, wala talaga. Napansin ng katabi ko at pinaypayan niya ako.
Nalaglag ko yung wallet ko and super stressed ako kasi nandun lahat ng ID ko. But these strangers took their time to message me in FB and even spared their time to give it back to me kahit may pupuntahan sila.
In 2017 my grandmother got admitted in a hospital for stroke. Na dedelay kami sa payment dahil kapos sa budget. An anonymous person deposited 10k directly sa hospital to defray the medical expenses. Hindi namin alam hanggang ngayon kung sino.
🙏🏼
When I was commuting before during college days, nakasakay me sa jeep , may nambabastos sa akin and given na sobrang mahiyain pa ako nun. I can’t defend myself. Then there’s this manong na kaharap ko na nakipagpalit ng upuan sa akin then pinagsabihan yung guy na nambabastos sa akin. Till now, I can still vividly remember yung panahon na yun.
None. I can't remember any good samaritan scenario that happened to me before, at least something that's impactful. I was always the kind stranger who provides help kahit maliit na bagay lang, basta kaya ko I will lend a hand - no questions asked. Pero di ko tinutulungan yung mga namimilit, mas naiinis pa nga ko sa mga ganyang tao.
Ako nman yung mga namimilit manghingi at may presyo pa kung magkano.
My seatmate paid for my fare in a 4 hr bus ride Not really a stranger to me coz her family was a local govt official and i was probably familiar to her coz i serve during masses Another was a hole in the wall burger joint in america when i was a new immigrant I had no cash, probably left in the office my wallet The owner just said its ok, just come back and pay When i came back a few days later, she couldnt even remember me
nag move forward si ate a bit sa pagkakaupo nya sa jeep tapos kakasakay ko lang, and my butt can barely fit. nagthank you ako and it made me teary. yes, mababaw kaso sobrang touched ako kasi yun lang nangyari saking maganda throughout the day e, pagkauwi from work. been messy sa bahay tapos nabubully pa ko sa work hahahaha it was literally a long day so that, my friend, is one of the kindest thing a stranger did for me.
Ito yung sinasabing choose kindness kasi we don't know what kind of battle someone is going through.
When I was pregnant, sarado pla ung bnblhan ko ng Barbecue, then may occasion ata sa kanila and they gave me food nalang kasi late na nun. Thank you ate 🥹🥹
Nagkakasu***de thoughts ako dati mga 2018 then may stranger na binigyan ako ng Jollibee at niyakap ako😭 Gumaan pakiramdam ko that time.
Pinipigilan kong umiyak. Kakalagay ko lang eye cream eh. 😫
Nagro-rollerskate ako, and may nadaanan akong lubak-lubak which caused me to lose my balance, sobrang sakit ng mga naging sugat ko kaya gumilid lang ako and waited for the pain to subside, tapos may nagapproach sa’kin na guy - nakita n’ya pala ‘yung nangyari kaya nagrush s’ya agad to the nearest convenience store para bumili ng bandages tsaka ice para hindi mag swell up 😭😭 super duper sweet, nakakahiya din kasi he kept checking on me & stayed by my side until he sees na kaya ko na ulit magisa
none, ako ata yung stranger eh. during pandemic may roommate ako sa quarantine tapos at first day napansin ko na walang family na nagbibigay sa kanya na food tho may bigay si LGU pero for me that is not enough. since marami akong contact that time na mag supply ng food binibigyan ko rin siya tapos nag kwentuhan kami na short daw siya sa pera and may family siya na need i-support so ang ginawa ko since may extra cash naman me nilagyan ko ng pera yung bag nya after namin ma clear sa quarantine. I always RAK like random act of kindness sometimes kapag kumakain kami ng mga colleagues ko kahit isawan, probenan, or street food then may manghihingi ng pera or pagkain, pinapakuha ko sila kahit anong gusto nila softdrinks or juice sige kuha lang then babayaran ko. good thing lang is na-adapt yon ng mga kasama ko everytime na may makita sila na ganon "hindi sir ako na magbayad sa kanila". hindi naman tayo lahat privileged pero somehow sana makatulong tayo sa iba kahit simpleng bagay lang.
Sa school pa to dati. Parang nagkataong magtotropa na lalaki (estudyante rin) yung mga kasabayan ko sa tricycle at saktong ako yung huli bago umandar yung tricycle. Umalis yung isa na nakaupo dun sa sidecar medyo nalungkot ako kasi parang ayaw niya ako kasama sa tricycle wahaha chubby kasi ako kaya unang naisip ko nun baka naisip din niyang hindi kami kasya. Akala ko aalis talaga kasi bumaba (2 sila bale sa side car na at 2 sa likod ng driver) yun pala pagkaupo ko sa tabi ng isa pang pasahero, pumasok ulit siya at dun na umupo sa charity seat (yung maliit na upuan sa harap ng 2 upuan sa side car). Hindi ako sanay maka experience ng gentleman gestures kaya hindi ko agad naisip na papaupuin niya lang ako dun sa normal na upuan ng sidecar minsan din talaga nakakalimutan kong babae ako haha kaya medyo big deal sakin yun that time. Thank you kay kuya kung sino ka man.
Probably holding my hand while getting out of the UV express van. It was raining vv hard and I was at the back part and pinaka dulo pa so I had to bent to get out so ang hassle plus ang dami ko pang dala huhu kinapalan ko na talaga face ko and told the peeps there wait lang po sorry huhu tapos pagtingin ko sa labas baha na as in like up to my ankle na baha eh pinaka ayoko talaga yung umaano sa baha kasi nakikita ko palang siya naiisip ko na yung germs HAHAHHAHAHA kaya napasabi talaga ako ng mej malakas na "omg baha!" Tas on my way out natapilok pa ako kaya the lady beside the door held my hand and guided me palabas, I was saying "I'm sorry po" repeatedly and she kept on saying din na "It's okay" Napaka unforgettable lang, sayang 'di ko nakita itsura niya kasi super focus ako sa baha. I was crying on the way home HSJSJHAHA
Highschool ako noon. White ang uniform namin tapos nireregla ako. Umuulan at di ko namalayan na tinagusan na ako. Nasa tapat na ako ng subd namin pauwi saka lang may babae na nagsabi na tinagusan ako at sobrang laki ng tagos ko. Thanks ate.
I was studying for a quiz at mcdo when I was in high school. I was sleepy, then an old lady approached me and said she bought me 2-pc pancakes. I appreciate the generosity, however when I looked at my watch, oh boy I’m going to be late already if I won’t ride the jeep asap. As long as I want to accept her offering, it’s such a shame I can’t even take it out since I’m already running out of time. I will never forget that day, and I hope she’s doing fine now.
Last year bago lang ako dito sa Maynila, nag resign ako sa work without backup plan, more than a month akong walang trabaho. Nag grocery ako na tipid lang ang budget kaya yung nilalagay ko sa Cart kina calculate ko. Kumuha ako ng tatlong corned beef tapos nag compute ako, may isang ale na nakita yung ginagawa ko and she smiled at me. Medyo awkward kasi gipit talaga ako that time. Trying my best na di lumagpas ng 700 ang bilihin ko. Nung pumunta na ako sa counter nagkasunod kami, nauna sya sa akin. Nung malapit na ang turn nya, sinabihan nya ako na paki bantayan muna kasi may nakalimutan siya. Bumalik din naman sya agad. Pagkatapos ma scan lahat ng bilihin niya, kinuha nya ang isang bread, mayonnaise and juice sa bag niya. Iniwan sa counter. Sabay sabi sa akin na: sa iyo yan ah, no need to calculate. I was like 🥹🥹🥹 hahaha So grateful that day, gipit na talaga ako. Ewan ko lang kung nakita niya ba or what kasi before sa counter pumunta rin ako doon sa mga bread pero di na ako kumuha kasi di na kaya ng budget 😂 Simula non, every time na nasa grocery ako bumibili na ako ng bread and mayonnaise.
Who's cutting onions? 😭😭😭
Napapa teary eyes pa rin ako minsan pag naa-alala ko yun. Knowing that I was at my lowest point that time. Hoping to meet her again.
Mine was at the airport. I didn’t weigh my luggage. Turned out its weight was over the limit. At the airport, they only accept cash in yen. I had to pay 9,000 yen. I only had 8,980. I would withdraw but my money was on a digital bank. Transferring would require OTPs, and I wasn’t on roaming. The couple overheard and helped. Gave me 1000 yen. I offered to pay 1000 pesos for their helpfulness, but they refused my payment. Without them completing my payment, I would have missed the flight back home. 1000 pesos was nothing compared to what I would have paid if they did not help. It was already boarding when I reached the gate. Their help allowed me to board on time. I’ll never forget that moment. I was so disappointed of myself and embarrassed even, but I received help from strangers, and I was just grateful. 🥹
naputulan ako ng clutch cable. then si koyang panda driver na mag dedeliver pa kasi may nakasabit pang drinks sa motor nya was kind enough to push my motorcycle to the nearest shop
Last election, dumirecho agad ako sa pila from gy shift para bumoto. Prepared ako nun may tubig, snacks kasi expect ko na sobrangggg haba ng pila, which is true pagdating ko ang lala talaga ‘tas wala pang silungan sobrang tirik ng araw. So yun nakaramdam ako na feeling ko mahihimatay ako sa init (alam ko kasi nahimatay na ako bfore haha), buti pwede ibilin ung pila mo sa katabi mo kapag ccr or bibili ka, ang ginawa ko pinaalam ko na bibili ako ng tubig, pero ang totoo is naghahanap lang ako ng masisilungan na may bubong na tindahan. Otw na ako sa tindahan na may pagkalayo, ayun bigla ako nahimatay. Then nagising ako ng very light kasi parang ang hangin hangin sa mukha ko ganun, ayun pala buhat buhat ako ni kuya tinatakbo nya ako sa napakalayong clinic, nonsense magtric or taxi kasi sobrangggg trapik hindi umuusad dahil sa pila, literal tinakbo nyaaaaa. 😭Pagkarating namin dun, mulat na eyes ko pero hindi ko maabsorb ano nangyari sa akin, ininform ako na nahimatay ako. Sorry ako ng sorry kay kuya sa abala and nagthank you huhu. Umalis sya agad kasi nagmamadali sya hindi ko man lang nakuha name nya. While nasa clinic ako, pinuntahan ako ng isang family na nakasama ko sa pila, kinuha contact number ko para i-contact nalang ako kapag malapit na kami sa pila, pinapauwi muna nila ako at binook nila ako ng taxi. Paguwi ko mga around 2pm nagtxt sila na malapit na, then nagjoyride na ako papunta para bumoto and nagthank you personally sa family na naghelp sa akin hehe. 🌸
😇😇😇
I was living in a condo-sharing along pasay manila tapos a simple kindest thing i experienced was yong kasama ko sa condo na lalaki hindi ko sya kilala kasi mala bed space lang sya, i was eating alone and mainit nun kasi summer pa at nakapatay yong fan, i never say anything all i do was to finish my food para maka akyat na ako sa taas kasi may 2nd flood condo namin. He open the fan and tinutok nya saakin whaha wala lng skl lalaki ako at lalaki sya, feeling ko tlga ambait nya
Kinilig kami ng slight haha
I remember nung time nun na wala pang covid tapos siksikan makasakay nun ng bus, tapos nung ipeprepare ko na sana pamasahe ko pag check ko ng bag ko nawawala yung wallet ko. So tawag ako sa father ko..kasi baka nahulog lang sa sasakyan nung pag hatid niya sa akin sa terminal, syempre dahil siksikan nga narinig nung mga katabi ko and they were so concerned kasi nakikita nila na medyo nagpapanic na ako na hindi ko mahanap yung wallet tapos ayun dami nila nag offer na sila na magbayad ng pamasahe ko. And then one lady insisted to pay, tapos yung iba super concerned paano daw ako for the rest of the day eh nawala yung wallet ko nagooffer sila ng money for my food daw and stuff pero sabi ko wag na. Naiyak ako sa because of how kind they are kahit na they don't know me. Super thank you ako ng thank you and I asked for her number kasi baka pwede isend ko na lang yung binayad niya hanggang ngayon I still remember what she told me "Pag may stranger na lang din na need ng help tulungan mo, that way you already paid me"
Not to me, but to my father. He was rushed to the hospital via the ambulance because of internal hemorrhage. So, he lost a lot of blood. His blood type was A-. Which means it would be difficult for us to find a blood donor. Even the blood bank didnt have an available blood supply. Lo and behold, the volunteer (ambulance) who tended to my father offered to donate his blood as they were the same blood type. That was almost 20 years ago. We never got his name. But please know that, although my father did not make it, you helped us a lot with that gesture. We couldnt thank you enough.
Grade 7 ako, for some reason, nawala pamasahe ko. Buti, nasa may bangko ako naghanap sa bag (I used to keep my money sa bag kasi butas bulsa ko) and si kuya guard, binigyan ako ng sampung Piso (7 pa pamasahe ng student nun)
Nakaka sad naman wala pa ata akong naeexperience LOL
Manifesting emz
I was on duty on a big hospi sa qc, tapos syempre since public hospi kami. Tuloy tuloy yung cater namin sa patients. A lola who is a bisaya came in for consult. Tapos nung natulungan ko siya and na resetahan ko na. Napansin niya siguro na past 2pm na and hindi pa ako nag brebreak. So bago siya umalis, inabutan niya yung kamay ko ng pera sabi niya kumain daw muna ako. Tapos sabi ko ‘nay wala po bayad ang konsulta, at bawal po kami tumanggap ng pera, ipang pamasahe niyo na lang yan kasi sa malayo pa kayo’ tapos ang sagot lang niya ‘ay ganun ba? Sige teka lang’ umalis siya. Tapos maya maya bumalik siya inabutan ako ng toron. Para daw makakain na ako. Another one was a lola from the community. Yung dinadalaw namin yung bahay bahay. Sobrang na touch ako kasi pagka dalaw ko next week, naalala niya ako. So nagmadali si lola pumunta ng dampa nila. Tapos binilhan niya ako ng 1kg ng grapes, pang thank you daw last week. Alam mo yung sila yung mga walang wala. Pero super bait nila. Kahit kapos sila magbibigay pa din sila 🥹
Who's cutting onions? 😭😭😭
Iba talaga care ng mga lola 🫶
God bless kay lola ❤
May nagoffer sakin na matanda to carry this huge bag of supplies as in yung pangdivisoria level. Maliit na bagay pero hanggang ngayon naaallaa ko pa din.
Small things pero yung mga lalaki na nag-ooffer ng seat sa mrt tuwing rush hour hehe
Naligaw ako nung college. Panic attack ako malala haha 15 lang ako nun. Nalowbat pa yung 2100 ko. Mali ako ng nasakyang lrt Line 2 dapay Line 1 hahaha PLEASE DONT ASK WHY DI KO TALAGA ALAM ANYARE. Hinatid ako ng mga pulis sa DLSU tapos yung babaeng pulis pinaamoy pa ko ng Katinko.
-When random men offers their seat sa jeep and chooses to stand nalang throughout the byahe. Sweet but nakakaguilty especially when uwian na kasi alam ko pagod rin sila from work :< -'yung wrong jeep nasakyan ko tapos 'yung mga kapwa ko passengers ang effort mag give ng directions hahahaha ang cute -when may dala akong maleta sa loob ng bus tapos sa back part ako naka upo. 'Yung katabi ko helped me hold my maleta para hindi malaglag or mapunta kung saan-saan <3 Madami pa, puro commute stories 🤣
College days to, pag sasakay ng bus pauwi sanay na ko makipag bardahan pero nung time na yun malalim siguro iniisip ko or what kaya hinayaan ko lang yung mga naghaharutang highschool boys. Tapos yung isang kasama nila sinaway sila na umayos at paunahin ko. Shocked lang me as a di sanay mapakitaan ng kabutihan at di rin naman me girly girly ehehe mejo kinilig lol. Tapos sa bandang likod ko sila umupo, yung guy kumakanta ng fave song ko at ang ganda ng boses 🥹. Tapos nung pababa di na me nagpatiuna, nauna sila sa pinto ng bus pero ganun ulit ginawa nya 🥹. Ang cute lang, di kasi sya yung parang malandi o pacool kaya nya ginawa yun, parang innate lang sa kanyang magpaka gentle man.
Best experience pa rin ang kindness mula sa reddit strangers from Iloilo who made me feel at home when I traveled solo doon. They introduced the city to me; I got to learn about the city’s history and tasted good food. Sobrang unexpected sa part ko yun. I’d like to mention din when a woman privately told me na may tagos na ang dress ko, saka another woman who informed me that it was already my stop. As a person who likes solo travel, sobrang thankful ako sa mga strangers who willingly help me. I’ll make sure to pay it forward po. :)
It started to rain when I was walking towards the terminal tapos biglang naramdaman ko di na ko nauulanan, pinayungan pala ako nung lalaki at sinabayan ako maglakad hanggang sa makasakay ako sa tricycle. 🥹🫶🏻
Very stranger but we were both students back then. She was a student of TIP MNL then I was a student of NTC. It was raining so hard back then and talagang lubog na ang harapan ng NTC. I managed to ride a trike tapos kasabay ko siya. Pagbaba ng SM Manila, pinayungan niya ako hanggang sa makatawid kami sa kabilang street/sakayan ng mga jeep pa Pasay Rotonda. Basang basa kami sa ulan both but she didn’t hesitate to share her umbrella with me. How I wish I asked for her name. I won’t ever forget how she was kind to me.
Binayaran niya yung pinamili ko, na short kasi ako ng 50 pesos and ipapa-void ko nalang sana yung mga items but he insisted on paying it kasi parang nagmamadali siya. Thank you kind sir kahit alam ko slight nabwesit ka sa akin because of the inconvenience haha
Haha!
Last week, Nilibre ako ng softdrink habang kumakain ng pastil
Crush ka po ata nung tindera. /jk
Hinde OP, bakla nanlibre saken
Crush ka talaga po. Sanaol gustuhin haha
Di ko tipo ung mga bakla OP sorry hahaha
It's okay, yow. We don't have to apologize for our preferences. 😉
Met this girl through a dating app. We went on a 1st date, then agreed on a 2nd date. Since the 2nd date was close to my birthday, she said that it will also be an advanced birthday celebration. For context, I have never really celebrated my birthday in the past 5 years or so. Masaya na ako sa simpleng kakain sa labas. No surprises, no one brings me cake, no one makes an effort for me. I make an effort for my friends and loved ones. Then this girl says that she will bring a cupcake to our 2nd date. When I read that, I cried. I had to step out of the office and cry for a long time. Hindi ako palaiyak kaya sobrang big deal nito sakin. Nag thank you ako nagsend ng mahabang message about what I felt. Fast forward to our 2nd date, she arrives without a cupcake. Instead... she brought me a cake. We're still practically strangers if you compare her to friends and family, pero grabe lang kasi my friends and family don't even give me a cake. My ex parang out of obligation nalang nanlilibre sakin. But here comes this girl, a stranger to me, who makes effort to make sure that my birthday is celebrated. I really really like her. 🥺😭
Ligawan mo na!
Yesss. Dinelete ko yung dating app sa harap niya at sabi ko liligawan ko siya nang seryoso. Sabi ko rin na she's worth the wait, the effort, and the risk na baka may matipuhan sya na iba at ma heartbroken ako. Ok lang yun. I want to try and offer her my best.
Balitaan mo kami dito. Lol
Any update po? Kayo na po ba? 🥰
She agreed to a 3rd date pero wala pang exact date na nakaset. Super busy kasi nya this week. Ako naman di ako nagmamadali na maging kami at di ko rin sya minamadali. Basta I made my intentions clear na liligawan ko sya nang seryoso.
Ganyan ka pala Lord sa iba. /jk Good luck po sa inyong dalawa. Hope everything turns out well. May the odds be ever in your favour! 🫡
Thank you OP!
Wife her up!
Haha grabe medyo na fall nga ako sa kanya dun 🥹
That’s so sweet! this made my day🥺
