I was walking beside the burned ruins of the old market when my suking pirata and I crossed paths.
He once owned a stall there, selling merchandise and goods that's more than enough to supply their needs.
Until that fateful night.
He accompanied me to their temporary stall, just beside the old market.
Unfortunately, these temporary stalls will be demolished tonight.
Once again, they're going to be displaced.
His wife sobbed while talking to me.
I did not comment further. I just bought pirated dvd's from them.
A good copy of Sex And The City movie and My Sassy Girl.
I hope I've helped them. I can't do anything. As much as I wanted to help ease her pain, I don't know what to do. I'm not a saviour.
I'm just me.
It was the appropriate thing to do.
I think.
And I walked away.

i met some folks from erap city today and i was roaring mad.

some people can be so heartless.
mahirap ang kalagayan mo. gusto mo rin sanang tumulong pero wala kang magagawa. next time, treat mo na lang sila sa McDo.
