At March 6, 2016 I’m turning 27, another year to gain and unknown things to come in my life whether it is a surprise or (hopefully not) bad things might happen.
After having some few educational stuff like coloring books, stickers, notebooks, drawing pad, papers, pencils, puzzles and few toys as I collected. I’m ready to share and give it to the kids on my birthday celebration. I was started to buy these things since Christmas 2015 so if I have extra money I bought few until I fill the small box.
And I’m glad I finally made it.
I don’t have any plan to celebrate my birthday to an expensive restaurant or make some expensive vacation. Of course I don’t have enough money to do that and my alternative option in case is to trek and climb mountains if I have chances (well I guess I will be there soon hopefully).
So I decided to make a small simple gathering with the kids who are resident of CG Brion Village of San Lucas Uno in San Pablo City. My sister’s hometown, so I can able as well to visit my little cute nephew and my beloved sister celebrating our Birthdays for this Month of March. Yes! We are March parade my birthday is 6, my nephew is 8 and my sister is 9 all in for month of March.
And I want to make my day so special in this way, being with kids and give them remarks of fun and inspiration like how their innocence mind touch my soul and heart enjoy being young.
I choose only a small group of kids so I can able to give them all. We are actually not surrounded by tarpaulin, colorful balloons, and colorful decoration in the impressive event reception. But it’s just only a simple green field backyard with few wooden chairs and simple table. While the foods are provided by my sisters that will serve for the kids once they feel hungry.
I want to make my Birthday be memorable entering my 27th and understand that it’s not always about receiving gifts but also giving. Sharing blessings and being thankful for having nice people like my small families, genuine close friends, healthy way of living and enjoying life for what we have. And learn not to demand for what we asking, dreaming or want, but to work it out by our own in a good way.
In this simple way of sharing time, smile, making effort to reach the kids, play them and giving toys are totally overwhelming. We started to play some funny games; a group dances each team and some childhood games that really make them ebullient.
I give them a short brief about being nice kids and enjoy life, educate them valuing education and always letting their selves to be a sporty type when they lose in games.
I really feel how they are so delighted getting their prizes and doing their best to win and making effort. I was surrounded by their innocent attitudes and jolly mind, their smile, loud laugh, exciting sounds and I feel young. I may not be in expensive places or rich lifestyle but I enjoy being with these kids that make my heart rich and my soul fill with inspiration. “Children are our future” let them enjoy their young life and let them play. Educate them and inspire them for being a good human by leading them for what we can able to share or offer in good ways.
They need love, they need a figure of good people to help them molded and choose to step forward reaching their maturity to be a better version of their self. And a small act of kindness, generosity that we can able to give can help them and change their life.
And this is the reason why I’m so inspired to be in field of charity by helping, by giving and by being a human with heart who understand the meaning of humanity. You don’t need to be a super hero or super human, you don’t need to be a politician to say that’s the only position you need to help people, you don’t need to use the reason that you need to be rich or famous. But being a simple and ordinary person can able to help as long as you have genuine heart willing to share love, respect, and care, moral support and value kindness.
You will never feel empty or alone if you have a huge love in your heart willing to share, if you have a broader mind that willing to understand by listening and speak out through the deepest part of your heart.
At the end of the day you will realize that making good things is truly priceless and worth to share for. Life is wonderful remember that despite of our bad times, failure and sadness. All we need to do is look for positive sides and not forgotten that were not alone but to share.
Now I’m looking forward to explore many things and wishing to join many volunteering activities for me to grow like a “garden with wonderful flowers and green plants around”.
I always want to keep share what I’ve learn and always willing to learn to different people. Keeping my ears open to listen and share what I have for wisdom and understanding about life. And gaining year or getting old is not a problem but a treasure as long as we keep collecting memories and value moments.
I’m totally happy celebrating my birthday with these kids and this moment will never be forgotten. I may just give temporary notebooks and toys that will not last long but the memories will stay as long as I live and remembered.
Love
