It's usually every "ber" months that I see this scenario. Kids on the road, knocking on your window begging for money. Different from those selling sampaguitas on the street. A young mom, carrying her baby with a sorry face asking for help to feed her baby.

The next year you see the same mom, carrying a different baby. All of a sudden, you see the same baby from the year before and she's grown enough to be doing the knocking on your window.

You wait after a couple more years, and a couple more after that. Then you see the same young mom on the street, pregnant once again, carrying her new born baby, with all her other kids knocking on everyone's car window including your own. Then you ask yourself, is the bill really that bad?

- Live like there's no tomorrow. Love like it's your last.
