“I met Lola Purping during our “photo-walk” at Binondo today. She was sitting quietly at the gutter right outside the San Lorenzo Ruiz Church. I couldn’t help but noticed the big lump on her face that she is trying to cover with her hair. She would throw some shy glances at me perhaps because she felt uneasy that a big guy carrying a huge camera is staring at her. I smiled at her and she timidly smiled back at me. I sat besides her and tried to strike a conversation.
Lola Purping is a street dweller from Samar. She is about 70 years old with poor eyesight and carrying a large tumor near her face. She and her grandchildren would sleep with empty stomachs on the streets where and whenever the night would catch them. I told her that she is a bit old to take care of her grandchildren. She told me that her children left her without a choice as they went to Cotobato and never returned until now.
2 days ago, she lost her few valuables, money and medicines to a pickpocket as she was going out of the church where she stays from morning till afternoon.
I asked her if I can take her photo and put her story on my blog hoping that some kind souls might be able to offer some help – any help. With tears on her eyes, she nodded.
If you happen to pass by San Lorenzo Ruiz Church in Binondo, you might see Lola Purping quietly sitting along the gutter when she is not inside the church praying. Please offer a kind smile to her.
I would appreciate if you can share this and make it viral until it reaches the heart of someone capable of and willing to help her and her grand children.”Maybe the child of a surgeon willing to do pro bono work will see this if we reblog a lot.
Nay, you’re strength is inspiring. And also you’re unwavering faith in God.
I pray for you Nay.
She is still so beautiful.
Prayers prayers prayers. Wish I could go to Binondo and meet&encourage her<3 But until then, just prayers that somebody else can fill my shoes.
and for healing. whether it is healing of her tumor or her heart or her family.
My Binondo Girl Dragon Finale: Proposal Scene.
omfg. HAHAHAHAHAH, just the way the audience is reacting omg. (Because that’s how I was internally….and maybe a bit externally.)
The difference was that I was by myself when I was watching.
AAHAHAHHAA
Kapag pareho kayong may mabigat na pinagdadaanan, dapat lalo kayong kumapit sa isa’t isa.

Speaking the truth though!
(Rough Translation)
“If you both are going through heavy trials, then you should especially cling to one another.”
MY BINONDO GIRL FINALE THOUGHTS…..
From the moment Edison pleaded “guilty”…..I started sobbing. And sobbed the entire rest of the episode.
omg, then seeing the change in him! WHEN HE GAVE ANDY ADVICE. “don’t be like me.” </3 And he was just so changed and grateful for things…and the relationship with him and his sons got better. Masaya na ako!!!!!
OH and when Papa Chen was giving advice to Jade and told her not to waste time because of her feelings and other things…it was just more <//////3
AND THEEEEEEEEEEN.
DUDE.
Right when the birthday scene started I was like,
“WHY ISN’T ONYX EVEN HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE?” Still don’t understand why he had to die….I swore he was going to get with the friend he constantly neglected for Jade. Wow. AND SHE LOVED HIM…
Pero automatically (at the party) I was like, “Andy’s probably gonna be here in a few minutes it’s okay.”
It was hilarious when everyone was walking out. HOW WAS IT NOT OBVIOUS TO HER?
And right when he appeared I honestly shouted out, “WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY” TOO KILIG. TOO KILIG.
and it was just too cute
and wth?
“Who invited you?”
“Invitation? I SET UP THE WHOLE THING”
Wow Jade, really? you love him stop being rude.
BUT STILL. ANDY.
“THEY SAY THIRD TIME’S A CHARM. SO WILL YOU MARRY ME? SANA FOR THE LAST TIME. MARRY ME AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN”
or whatever he said. It was just too much. I must have been crying too loudly.
the wedding.
the ending.
the happiness.
when it said “the end.”
I just sat there for a minute.
Not knowing what to do with myself anymore.

“I don’t care if I have to do chores for the rest of my life, as long as I’m doing it because of you. I Love You.”
