i used to run around my daily stuff unaware of the little things that goes around me. i hardly notice them because my mind is too busy with things i should do within the day. but today is rather different...i stopped and smelled the roses. (of course walang rose sa mandaluyong puro bato kaya meron dun...hahaha) i noticed the small things whether it matters in my life or not, they seem magnified to me today.  it's really weird.

i noticed the old couple who lived under the waiting shed where i usually wait for my ride. they ate pandesal together and talk abt things they plan for the day.

i saw how fond are my neighbors of dogs and how insensitive they were abt stray cats. my heart went out for another dead stray cat on the street today. obviously ran over by a vehicle. i wish i saw the cat earlier, i would've brought it home.

i noticed how the trees in the middle of the main streets have grown. giving shade to cars/ jeepney's stuck in traffic.

i remember how good it was to go have a walk with a child in the morning. i tried smiling at a little girl today. she's pretty and was just beginning to learn how to walk. i wished i could do it again someday.

i noticed the little things. not because they were screaming to be noticed, but because i wanted to. i opened my eyes to the little things...beautiful or otherwise...and i suddenly realized how small i am as well...to this grand creation that God has made. small yet necessary for His plan. today, i am here because God made me... be a part of something big and beautiful.
