I must be psychic.
July 10, 2007Or at least getting there. I've been thinking of some people lately, and they've all shown up quite unexpectedly in one way or another. Almost like I've conjured them up out of my thoughts. Maybe I'm sending out psychic vibrations or something.
Let me explain the incidents, one by one. First there was Ate Pearl. I was simply thinking about her, remembering our YFC days together. You know, the usual path to nostalgia. I began to wonder how she might be now — what she's doing, where she works, et cetera, et cetera. And then, a week later, I bump into her just a few meters away from the office. All my wonderings got answered then.
And then there was Rosby. It followed the same pattern: I thought about him, recalled some of our conversations at VOT, and wondered if he's still into photography. A few days after that, I bumped into him at SM. And of course, we talked about the photography.
And my high school best friend, Rose Lyn. I've been missing her, wondering what she's been up to, if she still had the same cellphone number, et cetera. And she shows up at my house one Sunday
morning! She was on her way to do some grocery shopping. In fact, she'd been meaning to drop by for quite some time, since the supermarket was just on the next block and she always passes by the house when she does her shopping every Sunday. Oh, and she had a new number.
The most recent was Marie-Mel. I was recalling our last phone conversation , and I was actually talking about her with Karen that afternoon. Guess what, my phone rang sometime during the evening and it was Marie-Mel.
This has gotten me thinking. Maybe, just maybe, if I think really hard and will it to happen, I might just bump into the people I really want to see most?
Hmm…
