Early morning thoughts


I woke up this morning with thoughts on the coming election. It might have been due to the news article I read yesterday regarding the SWS survey saying that around 60 to 70% of Filipinos believe that cheating will mar this election. I don’t know the real objective of this survey but, for a moment, it surely made me lose interest and trust in this coming electoral exercise. It may have been the effect to the others who have read it as well. If it was really the goal of the survey to incite such attitude, then it succeeded big time.

Rebounding from the temporary ‘brain wash’, I thought I shouldn’t be influenced by this survey. I should still hang on to my faith and hope that things would be better after the election, and that the best people for the positions will win. I will remain optimistic that life will be better in this country of mine.

I am now in the process of evaluating each and every candidate running for office and this early, I have considered some who are not that popular, but with sincere platforms of government. It will be a risk that I will take voting for them because they might not win, but then again, it will be a well-taken risk. I remember reading one article that said, “The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. Because the person who risks nothing, accomplishes nothing, has nothing, feels nothing, and in the end, becomes nothing!”

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.

Changing our Attitude to Change

There is nothing permanent in this life. Everything  changes and whether we like it or not,  it impacts us. But instead of denying and resisting it, we should learn  how to accept it and move on. “We need to develop the habit of looking at whatever happens through a positive mindset instead of a negative, defeatist one.” Have faith that God has a purpose in everything that happens. We need not understand what and why now, but for sure in His perfect time, we will know it and be thankful about it.
