Journey of Life


I finally received the last 'stamp' to my 'inevitable move" yesterday. It was a big relief and was truly liberating. It's like a rainbow to my eyes, an icing to my cake.

Now that it's all set, the difficult process of transition begins. Letting go will be painful and adjusting to the change will be as challenging. Tears will definitely fall, a lot of questions will surely be tossed, and apprehensions will rise. But I am positive that all these will pass and sooner or later, the rough waters will be calm again.

I have always said and I say it again, everything in life has a purpose. We who believe in God are on a wonderful journey with Him and we'll just have to expect the unexpected. Stop-overs may be short and sweet but that's just how it is planned out to be. We'll just have to enjoy and make the most of our stay!

No doubt that I will miss the people and the place of my last sojourn, but I have peace that they too have life journeys to take and somewhere along the way, we'll see each other again.

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!
