Last Friday, stars aligned for me to be able to watch the bonus movie for Chinese Lit. Four certain fortuities [pardon the term] occured that led me to Escaler to sit down and watch.
1st fortuity: friends at Sec Walk
2nd fortuity: Nombie passing by and asking about the movie screening
3rd fortuity: us checking out the seats
4th fortuity: The movie has not yet started when we arrived.

You see, if my friends were not there, I would not be sitting along Sec Walk and I would not have seen Carlo passing by. If he did not ask about the movie, I would not have gone to Escaler because my mind was already set not to watch. If there were no more seats available and if it has already started, I would have turned my back and gone back to SecWalk to chit chat. I am just so happy that all these happened because the movie was really worth my while. It was funny. Medyo patalo lang talaga yun ending, but in totality, it was nice.

Thinking about it, everything that happens is a collection of these fortuities. Our best and worst moments wouldn't have happened if one of the many needed fortuities didn't occur. Imagine, I would not have met my beautifully wonderful friends if I did not pass Ateneo, if I didn't choose ComTech, if I went to LaSalle instead, if I were put in a different block. I mean, if just one of those did not happen, my entire college life would have taken a different road. It is just amazing to think that our lives are so perfectly knit. Well, it really must be in the stars.

It is just like a constellation. There are a million of stars in the sky, but only a few and specific ones are essentially needed to be connected to create that constellation. I wish our constellation takes it form. It may not be soon, but I just hope that someday it will.

Not quite ready yet
to become their Destiny
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
it barred their path,
stifling a laugh,
and then leaped aside.
