Welcome to my world…

I was very surprised this morning to hear from a friend who has been out of touch for months. He remembered to call me bacause our last conversation was something about the job he wanted so much and which was within his reach and yet, for some reason, escaped him. Or so he thought. That was last February.

I was the receiver of the good news that the job he wanted then is now back in his hands. Just when he already has a new one and just when he gave up hope, the company called him again. Apparently, there were some changes in management and so for some period, they didn’t push through with the hiring but now that everything’s settled, hiring is on the way. My friend will start there in August. 

“Angz, remember when you told me then that things happen not on the time that we want it to happen but on the time that is right? You are so right!”  

Ain’t this very nice? It’s an affirmation that the things that we want, as along as it’s meant for us, it will be for us. No matter when. As Paolo Coelho said, “the universe will conspire to make it happen.”  

A feel good story I wanted to share to whoever bothers to read my blog. This story made my day, I hope it inspires you as well.

Thank you for sharing the good news with me, Jake. =)

Few hours before the countdown, a co-worker urged me to try the fortuneteller booth. She’s good, she told me. I had qualms, I was scared. Try it just for fun, she prodded. And so I did. Kaladkarin din ako minsan.

“Mataray, matapang, palaban ka. Nananadyak ka pag talagang galit. Napakatalim ng dila mo, sagad sa buto kung ikaw ay nagsalita.”

These were her first words after letting me open two tarrot cards. And mind you, she repeated them twice in the course of the five minutes she read my fortune.

She was damn good, right? She aced me on that one. hahaha

Now, I have yet to wait for the rest of her readings. Good vibes. *winks*

And ohh, she warned me about dogs and crabs. Don’t mind them, she said. Just look forward, she advised.

And I am.

For the first time in all my working years, I worked on the 24th and 31st and a few days in between. Argghh. Just when most of my friends have time and reason to invite for get togethers and all, I had the ultimate excuse of, “I have work.” Talk about work getting in the way of life. Whew.

Some people can be so damn difficult. If please and thank you are not polite enough, then what is?

You just made my day, rotten bastard.

Brainless shit.

Thank you for referring to me as one. When I accidentally and unintentionally read it last Saturday…it just overwhelmed me. It brought a lot of emotions, a lot of memories, a lot of issues. And a lot of answers.

It was the 5th…so I realized. If it was your way of making me remember, it was a very good one. I lost sleep over it. 

I don’t know when will I be referred to as someone’s great love again. So, I thank you now, for making me realize (too late, or maybe not) that I had once been your great love.    

Salamat,salamat. Dido.

Everyday should be a thank you day. If there is one thing that growing up had taught me, it is how to appreciate little things. 

So today, I say thank you for all the irritants that I encountered. I have lost patience over these small things but these spell out the difference of where I am today. ^-^

Time flew so fast. In a couple of days, it will already be a year without you. I will celebrate it not for any reason but for the good times of the past. When I look back, I can only smile. This is what is good about memories, I can choose and pick out the best. I will remember you on that day. I will remember the ‘fish tale’, the happiest story we had. I know that when I do, you’ll be smiling up there.

I miss you. But it no longer means that I’m sad. I know you’re happiest now and that brings peace and happiness in my heart.    

It’s funny how when we tend to be indecisive about something, circumstances happen and fate just makes the decision for you. Recently, I’ve been dillydallying about a career move but just when I was on plateau, something snapped and I was forced to look at it differently. One friend said it was because I rocked the boat and it started from there. Domino effect, maybe. But I’d like to think that there are reasons and lessons, important ones, that are there on the verge of being discovered soon. So from here on, it’s a little waiting game, a  challenging game. Let’s wait and see.   

Life throws shit sometimes. And there’s no way out but let it happen. It is happening. I’m seing it unfold. And yes, it is shit. 

Bullshit.

I went out with a friend a few nights ago. We swapped stories and updates. On our third bottle, we had this Q & A. He asked about possibilities, of could have beens and could bes.

Have you considered me as a possibility before? He asked.

I said no. I wasn’t ready then. I had a lot of issues. But it was nice that we stayed as friends though, I said.

But we could still be in the future, you know…

I smiled at him. Yeah, maybe. Who knows? Cheers to that, I said while I held my bottle up in the air for his.
