Early last night my cousin who is a doctor and owner of the unit we are living in knocked on our door. And because it was rare that docktora would ask for assistance, I immediately responded as my partner moved to let her in.
Upon entering Ate said, "Sorry, please. I'm having a hard time working on excel but this is not for me, it's for Kuya." Ate is a full-time doctor working at the city health office and her husband, a senior emergency nurse at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) are living without a house help or tutor. We all lived in a compound that Ate inherited from her parents. They do things by themselves from cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry.
The only time that we could be of assistance to them involves the use of computers, online or digital payment, and other writing needs. While Ate can work on excel that one was quite a challenge for her because the formula in the book and the version of Excel being used didn't actually match to supposedly achieve the result. And like in the formula of the equation, multiply what is greater than or less would be the equals.
Thus, like in life, day-to-day living is similar to an equation where you sometimes have to multiply with the option to increase or decrease what you will take on as part of your responsibility. It was always a joy to be of help to people you care about, and we hope to do the same to others by sharing my version and understanding of life.
In life, man must learn to recognize, appreciate and extend a hand to be able to move forward. It is not enough to just be a floater, sometimes it is good to put weight on our presence to put greater meaning to our existence.
