The Teapot's Cabin

What does it feels like to be empty? i often wondered will humans ever reach up to the state of emptiness? how would it be like? of course these questions are answered by our own definition or rather by our own experience(s).. i always believe that a person will never be empty, unless he/she chooses to do so..see, it still comes down to what i was thinking and babbling from yesterday.. CHOICE ! i guess so, life is indeed just a matter of choice; whether we want to choose or not..but often, people tend to deny the fact that they always have a choice to things around them... i hate it when people come up and say, "i have no choice, i have to, i had to, etc etc"..well, as a matter of fact, i do have thoughts as such..well, that is just the norm of humans. we choose what we prefer to hear and shut the rest, we choose what we prefer to see and be blind to the rest, we choose what we prefer to speak and mute the rest...it is often the so called " prefered choice " and...

What to do when you are at a cross road? play dumb and pretend there was no road in the first place? ...well, life is extremely interesting as it doesn't stop bringing you to cross roads after cross roads after cross roads...it never ends, and at one point, you will just be wondering where does all these roads lead to? and knowing that both roads lead to ugly ending surely does not help make the decision anymore fun... to look at the bright side, at least you have options there. you still have the benefit of choice, only not knowing which is the better over the other, but nevertheless, there is still a CHOICE to be made... what if you do are in a decision where there is no CHOICE at all? a dead-end...knowing that the end is not a pretty good one and something that should be avoided in the first place, but due to unseen circumstances, it led you to this.knowing that there will be conflict, separation perhaps, dissatisfaction, hatred, jealousy arising, etc etc.....how then? how...

So much happenings..so much turmoil..so much confusion..so much roles..so much discomfort....so much to be said yet can't be penned down... notice that i used "much" rather than "many" because it is really uncountable... Im just praying for a better day tomorrow and the next and the next and the next............. God bless us all

"Give until it hurts...and your reward will be great in heaven" this line strikes me during the Sunday homily by Fr.Nicolas from India. Though it may be a little bit difficult to understand his accent, but somehow or someway, God made it possible for his message to come across, to come alive and meaningfully, to strike me. Often enough, we complain and complain about how ingratitude people are. how they always taken advantage over us, how we are being used or manipulated in one way or another...but how many of us realize that there is always a reason to all these? We are always so caught up with materials and the returns that we fail to grasp the real meaning to all that is happening around us.. yes, it hurts when we really sacrifice our time, effort or maybe money on people who do not seem to be thankful for all that is given and provided to them, but think of the love that you have showered upon them. think of the generosity that you have done, think of the hope that you ...

Bless the lives of others, and your own will be blessed! that strikes me during the sermon on All Saints Day mass in SFX, celebrated by Fr.Alberto. A simple, humble yet meaningful sermon it was contemplating on the beatitudes and the lives of saints. how often enough we put others before us? usually it will occur with our loved ones be it our family members, closed friends or anyone that matters to us in one way or another...we would go the extra mile just to help them, support them or just about anything for them and most of the time, wat the end of the day, we would reflect and the thought comes flashing in your mind; "why do I used up my time for the sake of others, and not for my own?"..and thats when you start regretting and vow never to repeat that "mistake" again..... and forgeting the past, there you go again doing it all over again. its a cycle ! we help people, we grumble, we vow never to do it again and then we DO it all over again... if things turned ...

Affirmations. Few know the existence of this word and even few know the meaning and also the importance of it. Lucky I am, to be among that "few". Affirmations are very important. Being affirmed for what you have done or for being who you are is an acknowledgement of your contributions, your work and merely your presence! yes, it is indeed such an important motivator that will helps you get going when things are really rough. well, sadly enough, many are unaware of affirming the people around you. one thing for sure, because people are so used to take things for granted or just taking advantage and thus, forgot all about your mere presence in a particular situation...sad but true fact...sigh... Well, affirming is not entirely praising as praising is mainly focusing on the good side of you, but affirming is merely acknowledging or recognizing whatever you have done (whether good or bad). Imagine you are going through all the struggles and sacrifices in life, especially at ...

I just can't seem to understand how people are so occupied with what other people are doing while their own lives are in jeopardy! This is a mystery that I really could not understand. Well, guess that it is always easier to see the fault of others rather than to see our own faults. In fact, we will not see our faults as faults because for us, everything that we do is correct! True? Of course I'm right (see what i meant? haha) And when we fail to see and acknowledge our faults ,thats when trouble comes. Worse still is when we know we are in the wrong, we still want to deny our wrongs and choose to be blind. Do not bother what others are doing, always look at yourself first. If we do not accept ourselves, then how can we move on? Only you know your ownself the best, so why bother about others when you yourself is in such a mess? it is not wrong to be concern and aware of your surroundings, but do not let that get too much into your head that you neglect your own self/life. Y...
