Early Bird


For the past 10 months, my body clock has been set to wake me up at 5 AM. This has something to do with my current workplace. I have to leave the house between 6 and 6:15AM to reach the office before 7AM. Any minute later than this would translate to me battling with the rush of vehicles and unbelievable traffic to reach the Tektite.

I'm not complaining. In fact I found out that waking up early has benefits.
  1. I can commune with God early.
  2. I can take sweet time drinking my morning dose of coffee and can have a relaxing, pressure-free moment 'unloading' my stresses while sitting on the 'throne' of comfort.
  3. I get time to work on some tasks that I missed out the day before.
  4. I get to post something in this blog.
  5. Finally, I get to feel good and proud that I woke up early, a feat not common these days.
Anyone can wake up early, once you've gotten used to it. It’s true that the first few days of waking up early are likely to be difficult, but once the routine is set, it’s a breeze.

Just Saying!

I chanced upon this blog as I was 'Googling' and I realized that I have not written any post for the past year. When the pandemic happened and I started working from home, I thought it would be the best opportunity for me to start writing again. My excitement produced 2 blog posts, but that was it. Nothing followed. Fast forward to this time. Since I have some time to spare, let me just say this regarding what's happening out there. We are all tired of the quarantine life and wish we can go back to how we live before this virus came to being. We blame the government for all the inefficiencies and lack of foresight, insight and what not. We compare our state with other countries and their seemingly better response and outcome. We all have brilliant ideas on what to do and what should be done. We cannot even agree if face shields add a layer of protection or not! But do we really have to stress ourselves with all of these? Is it even worth the energy? Do we think something go...

The Beauty of Giving

It is heartwarming to read how people are coming together to help and support all those involved in this war against the corona virus 19. Indeed, the blessing in this crisis is the transparency of people and the willingness to help those in need without a second thought. We have proven once again that we can care beyond ourselves. Hopefully though, this selflessness goes beyond the end of this pandemic. Giving sincerely is powerful not only for the heart but also for the mind and soul. It provides an intrinsic reward that’s far more valuable than the gift.   It’s ‘finding one’s self by losing it in the service of others. As we nest in the comforts of our home, let us continuously find ways to help others in even small and meaningful ways.

Don’t Call it Easter

It's Easter Sunday! Have you ever wondered why it's called such? Why not 'Wester', 'Souther', or 'Norther'? No, it was not named because of a particular direction, although a logical mind would say that probably it was named Easter because the sun rises from the east, and the feast is all about 'rising' or 'resurrecting'. Do you know that the feast was actually named after "Estre", the pagan goddess of 'rising sun of day' whose feast was celebrated in early years on April? What an irony! A supposedly christian' feast appellated from a 'pagan' god. Because of this, Resurrection Sunday I think would be a better name to call this day, in keeping with our remembrance of Jesus' death and resurrection. That is far more worth celebrating!
