mercury drug

since my car was coding today, i asked my mom to pick me up after class. before going home, we passed my mercury drugstore to buy my little sister katherine antibiotics. As i was waiting for the medicine and my credit card statement, i felt super sad because there were a lot of people who were buying medicine and they didnt have enough money for it.

first scenario:

mom: sir magkano po itong gamot na ito? (shows receta to the attendant)
mercury drug attendatnt: maam 265 po
mom: e ito po? (shows another receta to attendant)
mda: maam 130 po
mom: ang mahal pala ng gamot ng papa mo. tag isa na lang muna ang bilhin natin (talks to daughter)

second scenario:

old man: miss 12 pieces nga nito (shows medicine) tapos 6 dito (shows another medicine)
mda: sir 262 po
old man: miss gawin mo na lang 6 din yun 12
mda: sir 120 na lang po ( she sees that the man only has 100 pesos)
old man: ay miss 100 lang ang binigay sakin e
mda:sige po sir bawasan na lang natin
old man: sige salamat

haaayyyy... i super wanted to cry at that time. i wanted to pay for his medicines. i super felt sad that a lot of people couldnt even buy the medicine they need to live. sobrang nakakalungkot marinig at makita yung mga ganung pangyayari. i wanted to do something but i still don't know how to help them. the thought of joining politics have left my mind since 2nd year college. maybe when i graduate id give a portion of my salary to someone who has a heart ailment. i super want to help other people. i just dont know if id have enough resources to do so. i promised myself that when i earn a lot already id sponsor someone's schooling. haaaayyyy sana super yaman na lang ako para madami akong matulungan.... heheh for the first time hindi damit o bag ang gusto kong pag gastusan ng pera... sobrang nakaklungkot kasi yung mga nakita ko kanina e...
