Blessed is he who speaks a kindness, and thrice blessed is he who repeats it.

Today, I (almost) lost my phone at school. It's not an expensive phone so I did not really feel so panicked about it being stolen or gone forever. I just felt really bad because I had that phone since I was in high school and it was still working pretty well. Aside from the tiny scratches and the almost-erased keypad (I am obviously a heavy-texter), it was still in mint condition for me. It also contained almost 4 years of good and save-worthy messages from my loved ones and I am a really sentimental person, so that phone means a lot to me. I've considered getting a new phone just a couple of months ago but decided against it anyway. 

To make my long story short, I realized at some point that my phone was missing, but two hours after that, someone actually returned my phone to the lost and found section. While walking to the lost and found section, I kind of gave up. I realized, with the experiences of past classmates and other friends, when your phone got lost, it either got stolen, or was misplaced then someone found it and decided not to give it back. I tried to call my phone for the second time using Miggy's phone, which is another great story: I had no idea where he was. We had totally no communication, and with all those people in school I figured it would be tough to find him. I tried to go to his usual hang-out spot but he wasn't there so then I had absolutely no clue. I walked around for a while and felt that I'd never really find him, right now at least, and then there he was. Sitting down on a bench in a hidden corner of this not-so visible area! I do not know if it was pure luck or coincidence but I felt really relieved and amazed at how I was able to magically see him. Someone answered my call and told me that I could claim my phone at the lost and found section. Yay!

It felt so good, not just getting my phone back, but knowing that during these times, there are still intrinsically good people. I do not know who that person is, but whoever he/she is, I pray that in some small way, you will receive an act of kindness in return for your good deed. It just made my day and it did a better job than coffee at waking and cheering me up! I felt pretty good the rest of the day after that and I just felt like sharing even more random acts of happiness to other people. :-)
