An Important Lesson

Natuwa naman ako sa araw na ito. Pakiramdam ko tinuruan ako ng tadhana ng isang maganda at nakakawiling leksiyon. Nagkita-kita kasi kami nung ilang mga kaibigan ko mula sa high school para tumambay sa pinakamalapit na mall, kumain, at manood ng sine. Habang ginagawa namin iyon ay nakaranas at nakakita ako ng napakaraming nakakatawa at nakakatuwang bagay, namely:

1. Yung estudyante ko sa MA at yung dati kong supervising teacher na supposedly ay hindi dapat magkakilala at magkaclose ay nakita kong naglalunch together on a date, though purely for professional and not romantic reasons. Natuwa lang ako kasi hindi ko inasahan.

2. Si Patrick, yung ka-ROTC ko sa UP from 8 years ago ay nandun din. Talk about seeing unlikely people in the most unlikely places. Friends' reaction: Akala namin namali lang ng kinakawayan yung taong nakasalubong natin, kakilala mo pala talaga. Me: Nagulat nga ako, eh, akala ko safe na itong lugar na ito (Baliuag is a good thirty minutes by bus from San Miguel), bwahahaha, hindi pa pala!

3. Nagkakauwentuhan kami nung mga kaibigan ko, at napagtanto namin na ang balita tungkol sa bawat isa ay umiikot-ikot lang kahit na hindi namin alam na umiikot-ikot na pala ito. Totoo nga palang may tainga ang lupa at may pakpak ang balita. At hindi lang isang tainga o isang pakpak. Madami. Madaming-madami. =))

4. May significant number ng mga taong kakilaola namin from college na kakilala yung mga taong kakilala namin from high school kahit na hindi alam nung mga taong from high school na mayroon palang mga kakilala kami from college na nakakakilala sa kanila. Mukhang magulo pero may sense yan, swear, haha.

In short, totoo nga ang kanta ni Genie sa Aladdin: "It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all!"

It's a small world, and I'm writing that down because I might forget the lesson if I don't. The corollaries entailed in the reaffirmation of this lesson are boundless: for one, I will always have to watch my actions, because I never know who's looking. Same goes for everyone else. Thankfully, I like working covertly and in a clandestine manner. Lesson two: if it's a small world, then it can only mean athat THERE IS NO ESCAPE! Nyahahaha. It's a double-edged sword, but I love it. ;-)

Sagittarius/Rat New Astrology

The Sagittarius/Rat
You can tell a Sagittarian/Rat, but you can't tell him or her much. There is a know-it-all quality to this wildly successful person. Underneath, they are sweet, charitable and kind. But love often comes late in the life of this Rat as they are not easy to please.

THE DIRECT HITTER
The marriage of Sagittarius to Rat brings us a vivacious person brimming with energy, adventure and activity. The Sagittarius born Rat just about never sits still. This person likes groups and is often surrounded by guests, friends and family. Less charm-conscious than many Rat subjects, the Sagittarian is impatient to achieve and is not concerned about what others think of him. He or she presents a candid self-image without frills or pretense. If you like that sort of thing, you will enjoy this dynamic Sagittarian's company. If you are not attracted by his or her simplicity and directness, then you don't have to come around. It's all the same to Sagittarius/Rat. He has no time to waste pleasing dissenters. This character is built for doing business and making money at it. Love? Well the Sag/Rat wants sex. But he or she quite independent and picky about with whom. Once they locate the partner of their dreams., they go at sex as though they had been starved for it -and often (because of their super charged professional endeavors) they have been. If you are lucky enough to bed one these sexual dynamos, please don't complain about how exhausted you are the next morning.

I'm no longer as much a fan of horoscopes as I used to, but talk about spot-on! =)) Apparently this New Astrology thing is a fusion of Eastern and Western astrology. Some synthesis, at last...nice.

Note to Self:

All in due time, Arpee. =)
