Round the clock...THE CALL of DUTY

Time check…
It’s time for another day tour of duty. I told my Mom that I might be late for I have to attend to our CLP-SFC at Kalayaan, Merville. She replied: “Kapag malakas ang ulan wag ka na pumunta, umuwi ka ng maaga”…and my answer is “Eh, may talk po ako mamaya…pasabi nlang kay Babs na antayin nya me. Pasok na po ako.” A daily reminder: “Payong”…wahehehe (I always have an umbrella, but most of the time I don’t use it: p). Reporting for duty…of course I pray first before I begin with my tasks…reports…reports…reports ^_^. I still crave for coffee even I finished with my ice cream earlier. Reports done; a perfect time to review the notes I’m going to share later. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my additional tools as I planned before. Surprisingly, a straight duty was advised. The incoming nurse cannot manage to report because of the heavy rain. Waaaah!!! My God, what am I going to do? I have other activities to attend like CLP-SFC Talk 8 and a run for HOPE for cancer patients the day after. I want to cry…but not because of the straight duty for it is my call. I want to cry for the updates outside the clinic place. Hearing, listening and reading the news… I felt sorry to the victims. The only help that I could share is my prayers… Hoping that everything will be fine as the clock keeps on running.

FYI, floods can be one of nature's most destructive forces. The damage caused by water's "wetness" is secondary to the crushing pressures of its currents. Costly underestimations of Mother Nature result in almost half of all flood deaths – especially when people misjudge the force of water. The Nature has strong regenerative capabilities to heal damage – Looking closely amidst the ruins of flood affected areas one can find signs of new growth, new beginning and a new life. Each of us like the nature has the strength to demonstrate the ability to survive despite strong forces that challenge us. Life is beautiful and a blessing gift from God; the great one that love and guide us all the time. Let’s help one another hand in hands to work for “THE CALL OF DUTY” entrusted to us. Let’s act and move forward for a better world.
