I am stating nonsense for it gives me a great deal in laughing.
My mom and I were having a chat on the way to the hotel after my aunt's wedding. We were talking about friendship and how it should be.
She said that she gains friends by doing them small favors not expecting anything in return. True enough, I do see these in her actions. Humility and shit goes a long way.
Same with my dad, who just does his job and does small favors in the airport. And what news! He got a PSP.
But then, when a person tells you this, at first you'd be interested in not thinking about it, which makes you think about it, then on, you think about the reward, but trying hard to think about not thinking about the reward. It's an awkward yet irritating feeling.
So, here I was, trying hard not to think of a possible honorarium for the work I did for free, which I've been dying to finish for 2 weeks. Then damn, after everything, I saw the smiles on their faces, the people I've worked for. I had that enough reward, I guess.
Later on, my aunt told me, "How much do I give you for the AVP?"
Damn, I wanted to walk out. I did not want to be given anything, and it surprised me since I was already happy with simple things.
Since it was a bad thing to turn down an offer, I said that they give me anything they think would be ample.
Shites, now I feel ashamed.
"Don't expect anything in return if you do them a favor." The teaching and the thing they brought me up with.
I guess I get it now, a bit. But hey, sometimes, business is business.
Oh, and finally, I will rock the world, soon. Moving noward with small favors? On the contrary, it's moving forward, but not alone. :)

Hey miss, I'm still damn missing you.
Take better days. :)
