Coincidences?

Yesterday and today, I thought of doing some things but before I could put them into action, I discovered that people I know have just done what I wanted to do, almost the same time that these were just in my thoughts.

First coincidence...I was at the mall when I thought of making my next entry here be about my embarrassing moments (yeah, we must find humor in our lives and learn to laugh at ourselves from time to time). However, before I began typing, I decided to check out first the blog site of a former student of mine, whose site I wanted to see.  It was my first time to read her entries and she impressed me with her style of writing.  So funny, so witty, so Bernadette (that's her name).  But guess what her last entry was about? It was regarding her embarrassing moments too. Hehe. I guess we were both thinking of how funny life can be sometimes when we're put in blush-inducing situations.

Second coincidence...the face of a former co-teacher/friend of mine crossed my mind earlier today.  Maybe I just missed the non-stop chatter we used to have at the faculty during break time. Now just before lunch today, I was chatting with a former student of mine when she suddenly mentioned the name of my co-teacher whom I was thinking about this morning. My student said that she saw this teacher very recently.  When she was near her, my student smiled at the teacher but the latter didn't smile back. As surmised by my student, the teacher didn't recognize her anymore. I wish I was able to see that friend of mine before I left the Philippines. I bet her daughter is now a big girl.

Third on my list of coincidences is finding out that the recipe I was looking for in the net is the same thing that my friend was looking for today. I dropped by Ana's blog site (www.buhaykorea.com) and read about her search for a potato soup recipe.  That's exactly what I wanted too because I caught another episode of the Iron Chef last night where Chef Michiba and his challenger used potatoes for their recipe. Since I've tried making potato salads before, I wanted to try other recipes using this ingredient that would make a grumbling tummy complain no more.

Too many coincidences for me in just two days.  I better come up with very good thoughts. They may just happen. Who knows, I could be a princess someday. (Ok, let me go to sleep now so I can AT LEAST dream about it) ;p

Hi Ms. O! Just a thought--a friend once told me if you remember someone out of the blue, pray for that person because she may be needing prayers at this time. Wala lang.

I have a blog too. If you want to look at it let me know and I'll send you a message with the URL. Hehe =)

Ingat po!

Hi diane! Thanks for the message. I've always believed that we're all connected in some way. Perhaps the Lord wanted me to pray for that person. I just did. =)

Yes, yes, i've been meaning to ask for your blog's url. Please let me know of the site. Thanks!
