SRSLY?

It's not that I have anything against people asking for alms. It's just that it's really inappropriate sometimes. Like in this particular post. I go to school by myself. No driver, no one. If you happen to go to the same path as I do, you've probably noticed that guy near 7/11 that's like always there early in the morning asking for alms. I was like, okay, kind of old to work (can!). He's been there ever since I can remember (2008). I apologize for missing minute details about life. Recently, I've noticed that his arms are full of TATOOs. And you best believe I was mind fcked. Like, seriously. I was like, was he a criminal? Tattoo addict? Whatever, whatever? I mean, if he was a criminal, then who the F is he to ask for people's money? Why? In theory, he probably did it the hard way before that's why he was on jail the first place. If you ask me, it's a lot better than stealing/snatching/hold-upping people of course. But seriously...

So posh!

So! The other day when I was riding a jeepney back home, well it always happens but this is like the first time I noticed stuff. A little boy went up the jeepney and gave each passenger an envelope. When he was done, he wet to the back most part of the jeep (in relevance to the driver) and sat to the stepper (?). I was sitting at the back most part seat too. He started singing. Or is that even what you call it. I tell you, I can hardly hear it so what more the people sitting near the driver. Then I noticed his hair color. Well little boy, you're not supposed to color your hair when you're asking for people's money. What about food? What about your clothes? It's sad that they have to spend the money they get from people in such a way. I feel like the people should know the truth or something. Alms for my hair root maintenance please. Alms for my hair highlights please. Alms for my hair this, hair that. Don't get me wrong though! I know it's their right to do...
