Swollen lymph nodes and rashes are totally gone today, and it’s the first time that this happened to me without any medications. A miracle? YES. 🙏😍

And it’s also the first time in my 37 years of existence that we watched a different movie other than the one we’re supposed to watch because the ticket attendant was…I don’t know, going through some tough times in life, too? And my husband and I were kind of surviving the holiday hustle and bustle so we didn’t notice she gave us the wrong movie tickets. 😭😂

Epic Fail, Not Really

Yep, a major “UH-OH.” Now, you see, if this happened to me in my early 20s, this incident would’ve activated my Kraken Version 2.0 to the highest level. But hey, we’re grownups now, right? So, we act like how every grownup would – exhale all the negativity and….rant. 🤣🤣🤣

Nah, of course, be the better man always. Again, my white hairs told me I act accordingly. I consulted with them first actually. And their advice is that things like this happen. Besides, whose fault was it? Was it us who didn’t check if we got the right movie tickets? Or the ticket attendant whose mind’s wandering in Timbuktu or wherever in the universe just far from Earth? 😁✌️

But no, we decided not to have the tickets changed anymore because the ticket attendant might be having such a really rough day that’s why she made the mistake.

Going Cray-Cray But Keeping It Calm

And yes, I was really close to going cray-cray. Just imagine, we went inside the movie house quite early because we were looking forward to watching “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.”

Then, REGAL FILMS flashed on the screen. And I was like, “Oh, they’re still showing trailers of upcoming movies when the movie’s supposed to be starting.” Until I realized I was no longer watching a movie trailer, but the first scenes of a movie.

Then we saw in the caption, “Manila, 1991.” I said to my husband, “Hon, I didn’t know the setting of the “The Hunger Games” movie this year is in the Philippines.” Well, that was what I originally thought until I was proven wrong when we saw the movie title come out – “Shake, Rattle, and Roll Extreme.” 😭😭😭

Oh dear me, I was truly shaken, rattled, and rolled up in dismay. 😂😂😂 But, it’s already too late to have our movie tickets changed. So yeah, we just went on and watched the wrong movie.

Pinoy Movies Upgraded

Well, to be fair with “Shake, Rattle, & Roll Extreme,” it was an awesome production. I never watch Filipino movies on the big screen because I have somehow generalized them as being of low quality. But, I was proven wrong today.

The Filipino movie industry has made quite a huge improvement when it comes to the casting of actors, delivery of action scenes, and cinematography. Hubby and I did agree that “Shake, Rattle, and Roll Extreme” was worth watching. 👍👍

When the movie ended, my husband asked me, “So Hon, what can you say about “The Hunger Games?” I answered, “Oh, it was such a BLAST. It made me so hungry. I’m just going to eat my anger out.” lol 😆😆😆

If God tested both me and my husband today on how we would respond to such an unforgettable mishap, I must say that we did overcome it victoriously. I guess attending church at Victory Fort earlier today somehow set us up to have the right mindset that God can turn bad things into good ones if you let Him.

So to end today’s post, I felt like Mandisa’s “Overcomer” is the perfect song to sum up this weekend and to help us start right this upcoming week. I hope you had a shaken, I mean, blessed Sunday as well. 🙏❤️😉

P.S. I really would like to share this video in the Breast Cancer Support Groups on Facebook where I am currently a member, but unfortunately, we’re not allowed to post any links. This is one great song that can help them cope with the challenges they’re going through now battling breast cancer. I pray for each one of them every day. If only I can do more for them. I know God will give me instructions on what to do when the time is right. 🙏
