Grayed Out and Grad In

Hello! Happy hump Wednesday everyone! 

This morning, I woke up with a mind conditioned that today will be a busy one and indeed it was. Not that happy at all, coz I just worked my way out and tried to end my day the usual - on read.cash.

Have you experienced that feeling when you’re so busy the entire day and you just want to finish everything as it should be? Your mind works unconstrained just thinking to get it done, nothing extraordinary, mundane, typical.

Sooooo grayed out.

Sometimes, I would wonder if we could still deliver quality service despite the lack. Obviously, the Philippines produces great and world class nurses and health workers yet we still have less manpower in our workforce in the hospitals here in the Philippines. Ironic, isn’t it? I don’t want to enumerate the reasons why, every Filipino undoubtedly knows why. But, that’s not my topic today so, yes let’s proceed. By the way, patients are still improving and recovering, guess all by God’s grace.

I arrived home so tired that I skipped resting and headed to shower. A routine that I hate when I’m from hospital duty because it seems that it’s killing me, but I just want to be cautious still because Covid19 is just around the corner. And, I want my room and bed clean from hospital toxicities, lol! Anyway, the shower is refreshing, so who would hate it? 

I was able to sleep an hour, then woke up around 8.30pm for dinner. Now, while scrolling Facebook I have witnessed a lot of graduation posts and of course I won’t  miss our little boy’s recognition day at school in Bauang, La Union showing off his “With High Honor” reward. Truly a joy to watch, I’m a proud Tita!

Then, I stumbled upon this post from Oro Broadcast Media wherein the Graduates from Bagumbayan National High School, Taguig City sang a very touching song from SB19 “Mapa” as their graduation song. I don’t know what hit my eyes and heart because I was watching the video in tears. This song just hits me homeward bound. 

I don’t know if you’ve heard this song already, but it really speaks a lot, it conveys much meaning and emotion. You can listen to it quickly here on this video from YouTube. 

Most graduation songs I have heard from the past are mostly something to encourage oneself to persevere and fight with your dreams and goals in life. I can remember, perhaps the graduation song we had before when I graduated was Hero by Mariah Carey and that time I bet this song was also a favorite and memorable. Then, there’s the “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten when I attended the graduation of my eldest nephew. The millennials song isn’t that bad at all, I thought. 

However, the “Mapa” graduation song is something just so special. It is not only motivating and inspiring, but also caring, tenderhearted and thoughtful for the most special people in our lives whose sacrifices are unfathomable - our mothers and fathers. They didn’t wear the toga or that graduation robe, but they carry the pride just like the rest of the graduates. And, for me, they deserve all the happiness and comfort in the world.

Before ending this article, let me say my last words...

CONGRATULATIONS, graduates and parents!

Thank you for reading and cheers!
