Lessons from Ice Creams

I learned something interesting from the all-time-favorite dessert that we have. Nakakatuwang isipin na God could reveal His messages from small things. Minsan yung mga bagay na yun pa ay hindi natin aakalaing may ganoong masasabi. Sino ba naman mag-aakalang ang ice creams, or sorbetes in Filipino, involves a great special process kung papano ito ginagawa. And that great special process involves a very deep message all of us should live by heart. :)

Jollibee KitKat flavored Mix-ins

 We are eating at Jollibee a while ago. I ordered something to lift up my spirit. Hahaha. I guess I badly needed a good surge of sugar. Galing ako sa pag-aapply ng trabaho. And sobrang nakakapagod physically, specially emotionally. 

Ecclesiastes 10:10

"Ang palakol ay pumupurol kapag hindi inihahasa. Ang mahusay na plano ay nakatutulong nang malaki sa pagtatagumpay."

In the Eyes of Faith

September 01, 2014

It was the end of second semester,. Bigayan ng grades. I never knew what happened. I never knew what I did or what I did not. I just had the worst semester of my college life. I never cried though. But I felt like I died a bit inside. Muntik na kong nawalan ng scholarship. Isang grade na lang na mababa, tapos na. I couldn't do anything anymore. Bawi nalang next time. But I never know those grades robbed me out of an award. The cum laude award. It was suddenly summer of 2013. Bilis noh? It was late night, close to ten o'clock. The phone rang.

"Hello, is this Miss Michelle Ann Agustin? Congratulations you are our Florence Nightingale for batch 2013..."

I was stunned. Did I hear it right? Florence Nightingale. Lord, papano po nangyari yun? Was the first question that sprang my mind. I had been through the roughest semester. But ako daw yung Florence Nightingale? Meaning, I got the highest grade among our batch on the clinical area. I was just amazed.

I love that story. Kahit ngayon na naaalala ko siya, it still gives me shivers. I may never had a photo of me being the Nightingale, buti napreserve yung invitation nung araw na yun.
