You smell like old people & soap... and I like it.

What happened today was incredibly... sweet. We went to the missionaries of charity in tayuman to have our institution visit for our NSTP. i have to admit that i was not so positive about it at first when i found out that it was... erm... a home for the aged. simply because i think i don't have the patience to be with them since they can range from being makulit to just plain weird old folks. We spent hours with the lola(s) and have very interesting and touching lives. they say good things, not so good things and nonsense things but heck, they made me wanna cry because you can actually feel that they were deprived from the love and care that they deserve from their family.
I was tired and wasted ( i almost fell asleep on the LRT... again. ); feeding them, putting them to bed and answering to their every demands and every work i've done... it was all worth it.
My share was not fairly enough to suffice their needs but i know that somehow, we made them happy. we somehow gave them love.
EDIT: there was this lola & she was somehow new there. some of the lola(s) told us that she never talks. pero kanina... she was sharing stories with andieli, kat and me.
Nung pauwi na kami, she cried when we bid farewell. that hit me right on the spot. gawd.
i'll miss them. maybe someday i'll go back there and visit them. i do hope they could still remember me.
