Her name is Rowena. We call her Ninang Weng. She's a firecracker but she'll tell you she's just insane. We're miles and miles apart since she chose to live in Davao and so we mostly communicate through Plurk and FB. Her entries, shout-outs and updates never fail to make me giggle. But today, she managed to pinch my heart, make me smile and thank God for having her as a friend.
What did she do? She spent P190 on ice-cream, not for herself, but for the kids in her neighborhood. Others may think that it was no biggie, ice cream for just 10 bucks apiece; she may nonchalantly say that it was nothing, but I know, P10 Pinipig Ice-Drop + 19 Kids = One Delightful Afternoon. For those kids, it was a a little glimpse of heaven, even if their Ice-Drop were quickly melting under the scorching sun.
It was a random act of kindness, it was her random act of "whatever". But it touched a lot of hearts. I sure know, it touched mine. Ninang Weng is one fine lady. And I can't wait to see her again so we can have our own Ice-cream moment.
