Inspired by the people she inspires.

Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts.

I believe everyone carries a good heart. Some are just too afraid of showing that they have one. I am a fan of people who do things to make others really happy. It is never easy to do such things. You'll never know if they'd be happy on what you'd be doing for them. But as I have said, everyone carries a good heart. Everyone appreciates a thing you do maybe some appreciates it in silence.

....When I was still in service, I was so inspired by my leaders. I wholeheartedly did things (big things, little things) for others. And that I must say, is a Simple Joy of mine. Not to enumerate the things I did. But, I didn't just do those things because I wanted to impress my leaders, coordinators, classmates, whoever. I did those because I loved to. My heart is at its best when I am able to make others happy. I know I have inspired some in my own little ways. And I super want to share this message from Justine Ilagan. 

 " Happy birthday Bakats! I super miss youuu! :(( Attend ka RYC. Please. I love you. thankyou for everything. Sobrang naging Ate na kita. Too bad, hindi na tyo nagkakaupdate ngayun. huhuhu. Hindi mo alam, pero you became my inspiration, in serving KFC. Hehe. Swear, kaya ako nahilig sa bata dahil syo. Nakita ko yung passion mo :)
I hope we can bond sometime. Mwah! :* "

Justine or as I call her BAKS, she is one of the most beautiful ladies on earth. Inside and out, she's an angel. I miss her and our bonding. She's a leader. And I'm glad that I'm a part of what she is today.

Ahh.. THOSE were the days. Highschool letters are still with me. I've been keeping my highschool letters for so many years now.I take time to read those HS letters atleast yearly.  Dont get me wrong. Hindi ako nagmamayabang kailanman. Cos I'm not that kind. I just super appreciate those people that I know I have inspired from the past years. And I will never regret having done those things for them.

Few lines: Super random lang ng pagkuha ng letters. People from my Highschool life

AWW! Enough, Randomly selected the letters. There are tons of it. And the letters from the people mentioned above were the first ones I got. Very heart-rending. It feels good. Looking back, I would never regret having done things may it be or little for you guys. Such simple but poignant lines from good people. Sigh.

When I was in highschool, since I was the Class Leader, I am responsible for their actions in class. But it really didnt go that way. I never wanted people to fear me or whatever, I wanted to be a friend who inspires and someone to be with in a roller-coaster ride.

When I was  a Sector Leader of EAST B Batangas, (Sector Leader: Meaning I handle the cities from Lipa-Sto.Tomas), I learnt the thing called Passion. And that is how I inspired the people I got to be with during those times, passion is the word.

Seriously? My classmates today do not know my story. And this my Chronicle of being a leader, a friend, an Ate to tons of kids years ago.

......Maybe. I may no longer be a class leader, nor a Sector Ate in KFC. But the heart that I had when I was still an inspiration to others and inspired by others, it will forever be with me.

.. I dont need to be someone who leads just to do things for others. I am basically myself now, no more President, Vice President, 4th yr Odyssey Representative, Sector Kids Ate accompanied in my name. Just Mary Ann Munoz. No one and nothing can ever stop me from doing little things for others. Just As long as I wanted to.
