Now, I am wondering if misfortunes in fact comes in three. I hope and pray that it’s not!
Well, let me share what I have been going through this week that I felt like I am unfortunate. Though I also believed that it is not a misfortune where I don’t have any control at all. For I am to be blame.
I. Last Saturday, I checked my phone bill. And WTFOMG!!! I am really disappointed with what I see. If disappoinment is the right word to use. I was in great shock and feel so miserable. Why? The bill was just less than a few hundred and I could buy a second laptop with the same specs as what I have now or probably a really good desktop. What could I say?! I am just stupid for not verifying the F**k**g plan my brother got. And still use the phone despite my wariness.
II. Just recently… as in more than an hour ago lang. I lost my beloved wristwatch! I don’t care about the monetary value of the said watch because for sure, it is fully depreciated. Pero ang totoo kasing halaga ng relong panggalang na iyon ay nasa nagbigay, dahilan ng pagkakabigay at taong inilagi sa aking piling. The said wristwatch was given by my brother after my college graduation. He bought it from Singapore, the first country where he used to work.
Before today, I had few instances that I almost lost my watch. At laking pasasalamat ko na sa tuwina’y napapabalik pa siya sa akin. Pero ngayon, I doubt it. Most probably, I lost it for good.
I already had two misfortunes… four days apart. What will be the third? I do hope there will be none. Because for sure, what happened today, just like last Saturday wont let me sleep. I haven’t resolved the first one yet and now I have this. Haaay naku… I do pray something good will come out after all of this… ^_^

Fortune always comes out of misfortunes…well, at least, that’s what we learn from positivists. Just keep holding on to whatever remaining fabrics of life you can hold onto in your heart.
Cellphone bills? I curse all time, every time I receive my billing statement. What we expect is usually beyond our grasps.
Just like life, we think that we know and that we’re always ready for whatever will come our way; we have expectations. But in the end, we still get disappointed–simply because life is always surprising–for the better or for the worse, nonetheless still surprising.
Keep on blogging.

Alfie… thank you!
Fortune comes out of misfortune… maybe true. But oftentimes, I can’t help but feel bad for such circumstances or anything that somewhat disappoint me. The good thing is… I do forget them once they’re over and learn the lessons they bring.
