hey, accidentally bumped into...

gio: it was a very very normal day. this guy's been walking around the mall all day and is trying to relax and just doze off. as he drank from a drinking fountain, he suddenly sees someone who made his heart skip a beat. "shet, si ano ba un?" he shakes his head and returns to his afternoon siesta at the mall. "hmm, punta nga ko sa toy store" he decides and as he goes over to the stashes of teddy bears, he suddenly sees a very very cute little bear, like the Care Bears of the old days. cutestruck, he stretches out to touch the bear and before he does so, a smooth hand suddenly interrupts his path. "huh? cno kaya tong...shet c ano nga!" he thinks. with a small grin, the guy says a measly "hi!" and walks away. in the parking lot, he seems to have lost his key, but a hand touches his shoulder and that person says: "sayo ba ito? nakita ko sa tabi ng teddy bear.." the guy says thanks and after doing so, rushes to his car and savors each moment he saw his girl. ok, story ends.the lesson: coincidences are pretty much present in our lives and that maybe, they are there to make life much more exciting.

imman: Let me cite an exerpt from a book by Milan Kundera. And I quote, "It is right to chide a man for being blind to such coincidences in his daily life. For he thereby deprives his life of a dimension of beauty." We should indeed appreciate the fortuities of life. Is there really a divine plan behind these coincidences or should be just learn to accept these events as part of the beauty of life? Personally, I would rather believe in both aspects of coincidences. It is an unexpected event that has an ultimate purpose that further add spice to our lives. But enough about coincidences.
