Netnet Camomot I WOKE up to a new world last Saturday. Finally! It’s over! So over. I could have slept for the rest of the day but there's this column I had to write and the block screening for "Finding Dory" in the afternoon at Limketkai Cinema, sponsored by Lourdes College High School Batch 1986 to which Kim Daguman belongs. So, sleeping more had to be postponed to yesterday, Sunday. Still, it was the best Saturday morning ever! I could finally listen to the birds chirping. There were many mornings when I forgot to listen to that, but last Saturday I could listen the whole day without my conscience urging me to go back to Rotary work. And I should buy a new TV set so I can go back to watching TV again and can finally relate with Kim's Monday habit of watching GOT. For a while there, I didn't even know what GOT means. I used to watch all of Hollywood's showbiz awards ceremonies. But not a single one this year. I only got snippets of them through Facebook posts. Well, once you accept the challenge of a certain role, you need to have priorities. But now, reading is my priority again. Plus writing, of course. And eating, staring at the trees, sleeping... Sarap ng buhay! Hay naku. Puede mosyagit? Haha! Thanks so much to Kim and Ramil Caballero aka Jack Fryday for helping me prepare for the Rotary Club of Kalayaan Cagayan de Oro's 18th Handover and Induction Ceremonies with the Charter Induction of the Interact Club of Kalayaan Cagayan de Oro headed by Pres. Lyndon Meyor. The Interact Club has been made possible through the help of Rotary International District 3870's Assistant District Rotaract Representative for Zone 1 Jundee Lourence Taruc. I have no idea how to organize an Interact club but there was Jundee to help me, and I am and will always be grateful to him for that. Interact Club of Kalayaan CDO is composed of honor students of Capitol University Basic Education Department (Cubed) whose principal Dr. Amor de Torres immediately agreed to our request to revive the Club. That's of course with the help of RID 3870 Past District Governor (PDG) Fe "Bing" Juarez whose family is behind the success of Capitol University. Dr. De Torres appointed Lilibeth Madelo as the Interact club's adviser, and it was Ma'am Beth who then appointed Eldrich Baluran as assistant adviser. Starting them young is now the aim of Rotary International as it encourages Rotary clubs to organize an Interact Club for high school students who can then move on to the Rotaract Club once they're in college. RI also prefers for Rotary clubs to have joint inductions with their Interact and Rotaract clubs. That's the Rotary family. The challenge, though, is sustaining these Interact and Rotaract clubs so that their members would become future Rotarians. Now, if a Rotary club is having a difficult time in membership retention, it does not always follow that its Interact and Rotaract clubs will go through the same dilemma. To each his own, right? But if you think that all Interactors will want to watch "Finding Dory," a friend's daughter, who's younger than the Interactors, would rather watch "Me Before You."  Again, to each his own. Hehe. As I look forward to many more mornings of listening to chirping birds and staring at the trees, I wonder if "Me Before You" means the same as Rotary's motto Service Above Self. Or it simply means, This was me before you came into my life? Hmmm. Better watch that, too. By the way, thanks much to Gean Cesar for the video shown at the Rotary Club of Kalayaan CDO's 18th induction last Friday night, to Print Creation's Ellen Chou for the plaques, tarpaulins and for the printing of the programme and oaths, to RC West CDO Pres. Ann Medes for the advice on protocol, to Raisa Aberasturi-Velez for the beautiful flower arrangements for the tables, to Past Pres. Virgie Legaspi for chairing the sub-committee on food, to Margie Rojas, Joy Tabor, Past Pres. Linda Costales and Grace Kwan for taking good care of the registration, to our district governors PDG Rhia Rita Abalos, PDG Bing Juarez, Immediate PDG Manny Along and DG-Elect Jing dela Calzada, and to Zone 1's District Rotaract Representative-Elect Dariel Palasan. Kim made 1,000 origami cranes as part of our table decor for that induction. 1,000 cranes for a wish to be granted! Thanks so much from the bottomless pit of my heart, guys, and may the Force be with us all!
