Two Weeks of Rejuvenation


I am on the 12th day of a two-week break from work. Everything happened so fast these past two months that before I got a real sense of what's happening, I left my previous company already and is moving on to another. To think that it was never part of my 2012 plans!

But anyway, decision's made, everything has fallen into place and the transition is under way. Now I am enjoying every single minute of being jobless and a house body.  I am not just lying around though because lately, I have been experiencing a lot of non specific illnesses that I truly believe is attributable to my increasing body weight. I resolved to go on diet and do some exercise. I am feeling a little bit lighter so far since I started and it's giving me the drive to push further. It would not hurt to have a healthy body as I assume new responsibilities.

Mentally, I have unloaded my mind of all the stresses of the previous work and just filling it up with optimism for the job ahead. Watching programs like the "Suits" on Universal Channel has been helping in the brain debriefing.

Spiritually, it is a good time to reflect how the Lord is continuously guiding me through this life. He really never fails to move in mysterious ways but in totally awesome and perfect timing. Expressing endless gratitude has been a routine not only these past days but also previously.

I realized that it is really good sometimes to take a break from what we're doing, forget about the worries and the stresses,  relax, and give the mind, body and soul to rejuvenate, to get back the freshness lost. I think this is a natural way of putting life's perspective in the right path once 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!
