It's not a sin to aim something but love the things you have and what God can provide for now

"You get what you need. You get what you want." 

The students of St. Paul University Manila had an immersion at Botolan, Zambales. Headed by Ms. Lalaine Vitug and Mr. Brian Bantugan, we were able to explore the tribe of Tumungan. We traveled there for almost 3 hours with 30 mins stopover at Subic. Tacked with us are storybooks, cup noodles, school supplies, snacks and slippers. We just enjoyed our trip there, had fun moments at the bus. 

We were welcomed with warm smiles and greetings. With their deep feelings I know how overwhelmed they are. The cute aetas even performed their cultural dance and had a little presentation. 

One thing that entered my mind, the simplicity of life is there. Life can be filled with happiness without fame and riches. Their houses are just built by kawayans. Could you imagine yourselves reaching your house with no means of entertainment? What I mean is you'll buldoze the idea of having a television or internet in your mind. I bet a lot of you guys can't imagine their selves without technology. There, you'll just see the simple wonders of life and the appreciative people who just enjoy their culture and the nature around them. They don't expect the fullness of life in terms of materials. 

I know a lot of us could also adopt their state of appreciating. I'm not telling you to stop hoping but it's better to be contented with what you have. It's not a sin to aim something but love the things you have and what God can provide for now.
