All about luck

When you think fate is getting good on you, watch out!!! cause it has its’ funny ways to remind you that you are not lucky at all.

Today is Friday and we Filipinos have this saying relating Friday and misfortunes. I’m no believer until I experienced it myself. This is not the first time that I thought about misfortunes. Every time I experienced something bad (which nowadays happens often), I automatically rethink of my ways and remember if I did something bad to someone. I’m really allergic to Karma these days.

Let me tell you what happen to me today and how I laugh about it.

I work online and I got a lot of writings to do. So I decided to start early and logged on to my team viewer (that seldom happens cause I’m pretty lazy). Two hours after, I noticed my modem’s light blinking like its’ getting my attention intentionally. I don’t want to think or rather entertain the idea that my service provider cut my internet connection even before my due date—tomorrow . But for some reason I hopped into my pants and decided to pay my bill today or rather tonight.

Here in the Philippines we got this mini public transportation which can only accommodate three people—called tricycle. I had to take a ride with that to get to the main highway. Luckily, I almost had a free ride when I only paid P10 instead of the regular fare. Wohoo! I saved P10!!!(LUCKY)

So I got to my provider’s service center on time, before the mall closes (LUCKY). I paid more than I had to, for some reason I feel that I had to do it. I decided to go home. I don’t know if I did the right thing but I went out the mall hurriedly and didn’t take the normal route. Half-way through the jeepney terminal, bam!, my left slipper left its right partner. Then thoughts of walking barefooted come into my mind and I certainly assured myself that won’t happen. I tried repairing it but to no avail I failed. So, I hold on to my cellphone, good thing I had it loaded (LUCKY). I think of people to call, my mom? my siblings? my friend?…my boyfriend? huh? when did I have one?.

Anyways, I end up with no one and decided not to bother anyone. As always, do things on my own, like an independent woman on training. I approached a tricycle driver near by and asked him if he can take me straight home. Unfortunately, he is waiting for someone so he couldn’t instead he took me to the terminal (still LUCKY).

At the terminal, the new tricycle driver asked me how much would I pay him but he didn’t want to negotiate so he just called another tricycle and left me. I decided not to negotiate further cause this is not the perfect time to do it. Or else, I’ll be walking bare footed to the next terminal. This new driver asked me to pay higher than the first one and I just had to agree. On my way home, I ponder some thoughts about fate and I feel the urge to blog about it. I thought, “Fate is really unpredictable.”

When we are only a ride away from my house, the tricycle I’m into stopped. The driver said his fuel ran out. Huh! I knew it fate is playing and it’s kind a funny. I paid the driver and asked him to call another tricycle since the terminal is quite close. On my home, I realized that driver stabbed me and fate stabbed him since he took advantage of my situation. Instead of feeling down with all the misfortunes I had today, I laugh. I think I’m getting used to with all the misfortunes I’m getting. You know, I always pray for God to make me strong and I think this is his way of doing.

Another thing I learned is that we should try not to take these misfortunes as big deal. Never highlight it cause it will just lead to frustration and disappointment. Just take a glimpse of it, then smile.

My phone pals

I attended a farewell party of one of my closest friend, Aiza. She’ll take her flight on August 26 to Hawaii where her fiancée is. Since she’s about to go on a far away place, it’ll be impossible for us to occasionally meet and this has brought me to some realization.

I met Aiza in a call center training seminar. She stood out among the crowd (despite her petite stature), I guess it’s normal for a teacher. Her aura alone signals her presence in a room and it’s impossible for you not to notice her. We didn’t belong to the same group during those times. She belongs to a group of girls which seems to play as the “it” girls in the campus. Never thought we’ll get along well cause I’m not under the same genre.

We never had a chance to get along until the first elimination of prospect agents happened, which divided the group into the promising ones and the needs-improvement group. Lucky we got into the first set of people to step up to the next level.

Since we were in  the same group and surprisingly, shares the same interest, we started to hang out, then gradually became friends. She’s older than me so she often shares a lot of her experiences. And that includes her experiences with men. She’s confident and that is one trait that I didn’t have much. Honestly, I envied her for that or rather I adored her for it.

At the end of the training, we both passed and included among the top students. Eventually, we were endorsed in the floor and we were lucky to be together. Until she decided to drop out, and after two week I did too.

Two weeks later, she got a job from a tutorial center and as expected she’s been doing well. She called me and asked me to apply. I got in and so our adventure continues. We had the best time of our lives on those times together with our same-level-header-friend, Yani. We were crazy, happy and free. Our job isn’t easy but we never mind cause it’s just fun to be with the people who you are most comfortable with.

There was a time that I had to say goodbye because I need to do what I was made to do. I bid goodbye. After a few months, I was asked to comeback and I did. Happy times are here again.

Then the time came where Aiza had to go to pursue her own life too. And it seems like it feels empty without her so I also bid my farewell again. Yani was left and had to take over the responsibility left my Aiza as the head. of the tutorial center.

Now, after a year, we finally got our presence back in one place. Back to Aiza’s party, we reminisce back our times together.There were crazy videos that was shown. We laugh and laugh and..laugh hilariously. All of us never thought we did those things. It was freakin’ awesome like it’s the last time we’ll see each other.

P.S. The title reflects the job we shared in the call center and online tutorial company where we worked.

Imma Say A

Did I ever mention that I'm a big fan of Miss A *cough* suzy *cough*.

I was never been a fan of Kpop, just a fan of Kdramas. One day a certain group named Wondergirls snatched my attention through their synchronized dance moves on their official music video of the song Nobody which also became dance craze in the Philippines.Then, Sandara Park (ex-Philippine actress) got into the business through 2ne1 then I got more acquainted with Kpop.

But it was when I watched Dream High that increased my interest. There were a lot of controversies about the drama but I really didn’t care. High school dramas + music + cool dance moves + pretty people with great lessons, no doubt it become a GREAT hit.

Anyways, it is through this drama that I met Suzy and Miss A. I got curious how Suzy got the lead role. Well, no doubt she’s pretty and charismatic but it’s Korea dear. There are lots of actors suited for the role, why a newbie???

SO, my search for the truth led me to this awesome girl group—Miss A. They are awesome DANCERS and SINGERS as well. They debuted last year and took Korea by storm. Yeah, they might not be as big as SNSD but they are one of the best and notable groups in the entire KPOP zone right now. Not because they are my biased but because they are really talented on both dancing and singing (ballad and pop songs, even rapping).

Back to the question. Why Suzy? Why a newbie?..answer: whatever, that’s what you called a breakthrough. Many might oppose but I think  Suzy gave justice to her role. Though I must admit that IU played really well and she’s such a sweet heart which caught a lot of viewers attention.

Anyways, Imma proud Say A now. Miss A really know how to put up a great performance and I’m really happy of what they are showing. Here are some of their videos as proof of their awesomeness.
