When you don't get what you think you deserve

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. Wrong decision. I never wanted to get to that aircraft ever again. I even unfollowed them on twitter. Hihi.

Lesson: Don't try to manipulate things for your own gain. It usually becomes worse.I won't even enjoy my stay in the hotel since I am the only one among my colleagues whose flight was cancelled. Just like going to heaven, I don't want to go there for the sake of its beauty but for the beauty of my Master.

I arrived in Manila around 7pm and saw my mom after five days of summit. It was worth it.

I wanted to email complaint to PAL but I chose to email them (because God rebuked me) with commendation for their service and ground personnel. We can choose to control our emotions. And where God will be most glorified, when people see Jesus in us. Choose to surrender.

This world will tell us otherwise but take heart, this world will fade.

In His Pusuit,

Michelle Aquino

2021 Here We Are

I can compare my year with the Philippine Stock Exchange Index 2020. And I reallyjust want to get those candles up by being intimate with my relationship with Jesus.  I actually do not know if it is just me or I really matured this year. FINALLY MY PREFRONTAL CORTEX GOT DEVELOPED. Financially supporting my family even though they did not ask for it, managing the household while working online and battling my own life. I have actually shared some of those things in this blog this year. And as we fold the last day of this year, I just want to say that I am thankful to my King Jesus. If it haven’t been by Your grace, I do not know where I would be.  Salute to You, My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2021 is Yours. I am all Yours.  Michelle Aquino Because I do not know what photo to share, would love to share this letter from my mom in our summit 2019.

Palindrome

Bakit ka ba fearful? A palindrome is s omething that when you put it backwards will give you the same result. The longest palindrome word in existence is  tattarrattat according to google which is  a chemical term meaning to remove tartrates. Been drafting this since last week but the original draft was years ago. I never got the chance to finish  it. And I pray that tonight, I get to finish what I started. I am past way my bed time or actually no, because I have been watching the world cup up until 3am last night and 5am the other night. Lakas. In english, strong 😂✌🏽💪🏽. Please excuse me for my being informal with my emojis.  On a serious note, I really do not know where tonight’s blog is going to end up. I would at times just think of something to write about when I am not ready to write and now that I am in front of my phone typing, I have nothing to say. What a life. I just thought tonight while watching the basketball brawl in FIBA World Cup Qua...

Short

In a short span of time that I got to know Tita has really impacted my life. I shall try to share specific things here so that I get to record how she has encouraged me. The only picture we got together.  I shall start with why the title is short. We were going to minister to a place where our mission trip team went a month prior my mom and I’s visit. We were walking and she made ayos my shorts after it was creased.  That was I think the first time I knew she cared.   I am usually jittery when meeting the mom of the man that I like. But with her, she made me feel comfortable. Pero at first, natakot din ako kasi I know na di ako umaarte like kung sino talaga ako, yun ang ipapakita ko. I don’t set my best foot forward because I know eventually, she would know me and she would know who I really am. I am very takot not to be accepted. Lalo na that is my fear— to not be liked by my future mother-in-law if the Lord wills. But on our vacation time, we got the news that she ...
