karma

While waiting for our flight back home, we decided to have an early breakfast. What can you buy with a P500 bill? We chose a ham and cheese sandwich without a drink to save us from getting up too frequently during the long flight. As we were paying ,an old man was also paying for his sandwich when the cashier informed him, "wala po kaming panukli eh". Understandably because change for P1000 early in the morning is impossible. My sister and I volunteered to pay for whatever he wanted to eat because what will we do with our leftover money anyway. He was so grateful that he suggested, while writing down his address and phone number, that if by any chance we happen to drop by Washington, he would be more than happy to have us as guests.

This small gesture was then repaid by a kind man on the airport. He placed all four of our heavy luggage to the trolley without us asking. I guess it was obvious enough that we were struggling.

It just shows that Karma's not a bitch all the time. :D

On another note, an old woman who bought a hotdog sandwich at the same store complained with an attitude saying, "sa AmeriKa nirereklamo ang mga ganito" as she shoved the sandwich back to the cashier. She insisted that she get a new one because the one she purchased what too hard. Yes, we understand how upsetting that is, especially at this time of the day, but who are you to make a scene like that. Did you really have to mention where you're from? Nakakahiya. People like her need a serious lesson on proper manners.

Maybe I should have said, "sa Canada hindi ganyan magreklamo mga tao". Sigh.

I wonder which side of Karma she'll be meeting.
