by Anonymous X-ray Personnel
Recalling and pondering one day on my life of the yesteryears…
Especially on the times when I first joined the Scanning Unit until it was transformed into X-ray Inspection Project.
Never did I realize that my life has been checkered with happiness, sorrow and pain.
Along with this, I never forget the times when I witnessed my comrades left our unit with a heavy heart as a result of personnel movement, and others passed away, like a dreamless sleep in the midst of weary moments and mystery.
Taking my spirit to shatter every time I remember those sorrowful episodes, and I always wonder why they have had to suffer such fate.
Oh, yes how wonderful it was when my heart also felt the over flowing stream of happiness whenever I detected contraband items on the X-ray monitor.
Paraphernalias for terrorism such as guns, explosives and ammunitions, as well as drugs and used clothings were just some of them.
All of the sudden the rosy praises engraved in commendation and citations letters from my official flooded my room.
Like prizes of an instant superstar as tokens for my so called heroic and exemplary deeds.
Grasping for the meaning of all these achievements, I can provide no answer to my curiosity on why the management should not give me hazard pay, salary increase, and plantilla position instead.
Apparently my dreams for a better life which are just and legitimate inspiration of my life, have become a dust in the wind...
Now perhaps you know who I am as you read the first letters of my lines and lest I forget, this is not just my life but also the life anyone else in the X-ray Inspection Project, our lives dedicated so well to serve the Bureau with full of vigor and hope.
