Christmas "feeling"

Christmas really brings its own spirit when the season comes. Don't you veer get that "Christmas feeling"? I used to get that feeling until school took away every feeling that I can ever have.

In six months, I will be graduating from university and it's something that I really cannot grasp, I don't know what I want to do - yet. This has pretty much taken up all the space in my head so I haven't been able to feel much.. if that is even possible.

Earlier today, I rode a jeepney along Taft avenue to get to my condo and it was a typical jeepney ride until a half-paralyzed old man rode the jeep. For some reason, I wanted to cry. I guess seeing him trying to survive this world moved me so much because I'm always on the brink of giving up. He rode the jeep in great struggle but he was able to do it with some help from a gentleman. Upon sitting down, he reached down his pocket looking for money to pay the fare. Maybe I should pay for him instead.... this thought was playing around my head; he stretched his arm out to give the money to the driver but the driver politely refused his money. He probably thought that this old man can use his Php 8.00 for something better. What is Php 8.00 less from your earnings if you helped an old man survive life? It was a really moving scene.

I guess it was in this jeepney ride that I was able to get that "Christmas feeling" that I thought I'd lost. It gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside when I see people being nice to others.
