Positivity Amidst the Lockdown

A few months before 2020,   I bet  everyone  of us has already laid out plans for the coming year.  Given quite a number of long weekends, w e already have a good idea for our vacation plans, how will we utilize our work leaves and where will we go during our holidays. Then enter 2020.  January proved to be not a good start of the year. There were volcanoes erupting, celebrities dying and yes of course Covid-19  pandemic . Covid-19  pandemic  which is caused by the Coronavirus  resulted for  most of  us to be locked  down in the comforts of our own homes. Employees were advised to work from home and stay away from the public to contain the spread of the virus. Unfortunately for some, their livelihood was taken away because working from home is not feasible and their company has no means to sustain the workforce. Experts say that the world will be going to a period of depression and many more jobs will be inevitably ...

Coincidence or Destiny?

Have you ever wondered why you meet a person randomly and how that person can affect your life forever? 

Here is how my story goes. I’ve met my husband way back in 2003 which was the enrolment day in our school. I was looking for a friend of mine and of all the people there in the corridor, I had randomly chosen to ask him. He was very accommodating and friendly. I thought he was only doing that because he was part of the student assistant program that assisted during the enrolment period. I did not know that day would be a life changing day for me. Well, I only just met my destined person to be with for the rest of my life. I am not sure if it is destiny or just plainly a coincidence. Nevertheless, I was glad I met him that day. 

A friend once told me that every person you’ve met, even a total stranger, has a reason and can really affect your life.  I remembered those words until now.  It felt ironic because whenever I’m feeling low, and even when I wanted to give up, there were people that I meet along the way, who  reminded me that I don’t have to lose hope and faith because they also have been in that similar situation I had which also took them more time to recover. I tried to figure out why I’ve met them then I realize that every person has something to teach, to help and to remind us, that God put the same path to connect us with those people, that He has not forgotten me, that He truly cares for me, that He loves me.

Dating vs Being Married

Dating  is the early stage of the relationship where both show off the good  and shiny version of our selves.  It’s the time when we put our best foot forward an d try to impress one another. As  time passes by, we became more settled, feelings grow deeper and eventually get married. As we get more comfortable with each other, we tend to notice some changes in our partners, and I think most couples will agree. Marriage can be wonderful. It can be an overflowing feeling of happiness.  On the other hand,  it can also turn   out to be the worst thing that could happen to you . It’ s essential  to use  the  dating  stages   to get  to  know and be familiar with our partner. It can help decide whether you want to have that commitment. But sad to say, people hide what their true colors are. No body is perfect. When you decide to  live together in the same roof, that’s the time you will really know who your par...

I'm Not Perfect and Neither Are You

I'm Not Perfect and Neither Are You! Many say that I am a perfectionist. I will admit that it’s half true. I want things to be always perfect. I hate hearing “this is okay”. I always want everything to be at its “best”. For instance, when my husband and I were selecting paint colours for our house, I don’t like just any colour. I selected it in a way that it has the same blend and I rejected some which I felt were not suited to my taste. My aim was to make it unique and that it would last for long time. At work, I don’t like my colleagues to do the job just to complete it. I always want things to be accomplished properly and accordingly, no shortcuts or excuses. If I feel that there is something wrong, I make it a point to highlight it and frankly voice out what I think. It is not easy trying to be perfect because not everybody is aiming for it, and sometimes it results to misunderstandings. Though my goal is always for everyone’s benefit, some will not appreciate it and ...
