In His Pursuit

It’s a need… sometimes. Filipinos love to shop. If we have a past time, it would be spending the money we earned after long hours of being away from our family each and every day. I was in a mall this weekend and all I see are people who are mindful of the temporary including the person writing this. I always wanted to save my money but my banks are the shoes and pants store. Even though I don’t use credit card but it still isn’t being a godly steward of my finances. Yes, I majored in Finance but I’m not an expert. You would say, “But I would save fifty percent of the thing! Come on, when would be the next sale? It might not be here anymore.” Hello? If you just walk away, you’ll save hundred percent, duh? Didn’t you thought of, are they still making money if they’re making markdowns? It only means that they price too much! Why do you want to buy the thing? This is the most used question, even my mom used it to me a lot of times but I lied a lot of times as well. Do you ...

I was really puzzled what to write about our c'ship! It was God who allowed us to be here and all I can say is praise Him! Yes, there were factors why they won but how can you reconcile the will of God versus the skill of the basketball gods? I can still remember the time while I was sitting in a bench at our school just this basketball season which is the first term of this school year, I glared at our trophy keeping and I just prayed about us getting the championship this year. At the time, you can't really say that we'll win, I promise you! No one will bet on us even the Nationalians won't say we'll win this year's title. We just lost our superstar this year. Who'll carry us through? And I remembered an incident where I told my La Salle and UST friends that this season is ours. Not boasting but sort of yes haha, I don't know why I put my faith in what God impressed on my heart to pray for. When you believe and not doubt, you'll receive what yo...

Saved Festival Manila 2014

Entitlement. We always want to get the most out of our spending that's why we always say, be a wise shopper. That's why we want SALE because they cut down prices. That's why we prioritize the steak area in a buffet restaurant. My flight was cancelled going back to Manila from a one hour and a half plane ride province. I bet it would since the airport has no light in its airstrip, I had the feeling that when it was delayed, I would accept the free accommodation they're offering. That would be fun! I checked-in and asked me if I wanted to take the earlier flight but I opted not to since my friends are taking the last fly out plane, but in another airline. Wrong move. I heard the announcement. Hurried in the ground personnel and as I plan to book my hotel, my friend told me to change airline since I'm meeting with my mom in the airport and they waited for me. So, I changed airline. Little knowing that the airline isn't that cozy unlike my original airline....
