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.

Abdominal Epilepsy?

The other day, I encountered an uncommon medical diagnosis, abdominal epilepsy. Maybe I was absent when this was taught in med school or maybe it was mentioned but it just didn't register in my memory bank. Anyway, for those colleagues who haven't heard of this as well, here's what I found out about it, so that next time you are faced with a weird abdominal pain, you will think of abdominal epilepsy as a differential. There are many medical causes of abdominal pain; abdominal epilepsy is one of the rare causes. From a medical perspective, the term epilepsy refers not to a single disease, but to a group of symptoms with numerous causes. The common factor in all forms of epilepsy is an excessive electrical excitability of the brain. The increased excitation is called a seizure and may manifest as a partial or total loss of consciousness and muscle spasms or other involuntary movements. Many conditions can produce epilepsy. For example, a genetic predisposition is...

"Ganacity"

If there's one word that I will never forget from my AGSB experience, it's "ganacity"! A word frequently mentioned by our FinMan professor. What does it mean? It's a combination of the tagalog word "gana" (appetite, zest) and the english suffix "city" which converts an adjective word into a noun. 'Ganacity' therefore refers to one's state of desire or interest in something. I am sharing this because I feel that my 'ganacity' for what I am doing now is spiralling down, and it is so difficult to reverse it back up or just to keep it at a maintained level. It is becoming a struggle on a day to day basis. I am hoping that night and day will alternate fast so that this battle will end soon.

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.
