First Step Seaman

April 29, 2009

     

At last I finished my basic safety training in Cavite, just one step ahead to get my seaman’s book. It is an enjoying and exciting training since I only have a basic swimming knowledge and never been in a fire drill before except once in my Boy Scout days. The fun and excitement was cut short by eye infection, maybe cause of to much exposure to dirty air Huhhh, sighhh..anyway the food and accommodation together with the climate makes me feel homesick. Nonetheless my mosquito net reminds me of my sweet bed where I used to sleep and awaken by the purr of my cats. Hehehhehee.

I cannot imagine myself today going to another vocation and job, meeting new people and trying new things again makes me wonder if I would love to have this job. But for now I love the work, the fire drill, the group life saving drills and the life saving courses makes me appreciate and value the work and courage of those who work at sea.

It would still take at least a month to get my seaman’s book and complete my requirements to board the ship. Maybe I would have to get a temporary job just to get by my daily needs. Thank you for all those who pray for me and for those who believe in my dreams. Life is always beautiful.
