At least, I can face my laptop now, kahit gabi na... na hindi ako hilo.. or dizzy..Somehow.. I could sit down and write what I have written, without uneasiness. I remember being attacked by an " alien" named " VERTIGO " two days before our scheduled flight on April 1st to our " NOT ONE LESS MISSION TRIP" to the Philippines.. Late in the coldness of that night, my daughter rushed me to the ER of a well- known hospital here.. I remember being ministered by a young, lanky black American nurse..I refused to follow what he was saying..He was explaining things to me in medical terms that I don't understand. He was really trying his best that I obey what he was saying, and in exasperation, he called a Filipina nurse.. She came.. held me gently by my hand, and said.. " NANAY, KAILANGAN NINYONG SUNDIN LAHAT NG SINASABI NIYA." ( Translated, this is what the Pinay nurse said... " MOTHER, YOU NEED TO OBEY ALL THAT HE IS TELLING YOU TO DO.") The nurse smiled and left. I said - " Thank you, and God bless you..
When the Pinay nurse left, the young black American nurse, run after her - " Hey, tell me, what did you say to her that she IMMEDIATELY followed you ? Pointing at me.) Ha ha ha! The nurse said, I just told her - " TO OBEY YOU.." " That simple? That easy?" And he looked at me, in bewilderment.. Yaks, he said... I don't understand it..And shook his head in unbelief..Well... well...He should learn that Pinoys are " good communicators!" And most hospitals here in San Fo, are staffed by Pinoys, efficient ones at that.. BLESS ALL THE PINOYS WHO LIVE IN FOREIGN LANDS, LORD GOD...WE NEED YOUR ALMIGHTY TOUCH, EACH PASSING DAY OF OUR LIVES..Praise and thank You.. WE LOVE YOU!!! *< lua....
