Night is befalling and only one sound dominates at the start of my shift. I have been walking here and there, and well, been accustomed to the halllway as a catwalk. The only difference is that I'm not on a stiletto. Passing by near the elevator, I saw Ate Mel and asked her if she had eaten. (An introduction of someone who hasn't eaten yet, and about to ask of something to eat). A nod affirmed that she too had heard the sound that I've been hearing at the start of endorsement; the borborygmus sound or plainly, the rumbling stomach. Having set the goal of accomplishing my tasks at wee hours, I sang along with borborygmi as my background,haha Before the hospital shook, world war III began and nearing of the end of the world because of my gifted voice (ahem), I received a bowl of macaroni soup and fried chicken. It seemed that an angel with bangs dropped by the station and my eyeballs were so excited it nearly forgot to come back on my optical orbit while the angel of my night was delivering the words in celestial voice "It's ok to sing, but you are prettier if you rather eat". (The angel must have been afraid of the impending calamity because of my golden voice,lol). Just fooling around. Wanna see you smile,=)
Weeks ago on once upon a night, I treated our cleaners with a cup of coffee. It's priceless to make bonds with ordinary people. They are the ones who are true, no pretensions, and no bar holds when it comes to life's lessons. They know better what pure joys are by living a simple and decent life. Macaroni soup and fried chicken may not be too much but for someone who's earnings are lesser than mine, it's more than a blessing. I realized that when you lose kindness to someone else, you gained twice the return. It may not be an urgent response to what you give, but along the way, it comes in moments like wee hours.
In my case, it saved me from: first, being a hungry nurse; second, a master destroyer of the universe =)
Let kindness reign. Hello June!=)
