The bun of her hair was immaculately done. She put thru her spotless and freshly pressed white uniform. And she picked up her nursing kit and dashed her way out to the waiting taxi.That was some years ago. I don't know if she is to be the last to take nursing from us first degree cousins. Nursing was a boom around late 90's and graduating high schoolers was putting Bachelor of Science as first priority. Because of its demand, universities and colleges required a high aptitude or entrance exam result. Well, she has the lucky structure of a cerebrum, yes, so she got on it and became another Nightingale.
21May. World Day for Cultural Diversity. (Christ), in whom the whole building being fitted together,grows into a holy temple in the L-rd (Ephesians2:21) In the next coming years, I cannot imagine my daughter, a half-blooded Igorot whose father speaks Tagalog, mother who speaks Kankana-ey and Ilocano and schoolmates who speak Kapampangan or teachers speak English, how her liner would be. Further imagination brings me to hearing her say, "Adiak like idiay kung nasaan sina Lolo tan awan unay tao."
