Coincidence
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
I was randomly reading an article from an old Reader’s Digest issue from a stack on the shelf. It was about how things are done in the past, and that before we invented sugar, honey was used to sweeten food. Just in time, the waitress came with my Calamansi juice and a curious sweetener in a vial. It was honey! I remember this because a few days ago, in a mall, I was looking at wall clocks on display. A pipe-in instrumental music was playing pleasantly. I listened closely and realized it was, Somewhere In Time!
There are times like these when you are suddenly gripped by the moment, and you say “Ahh, what a cool coincidence!”
Clorets

I was buying menthol candies by the sidewalk. I gave 5 Pesos and took 5 candies as usual. “It’s Clorets, you can take one more sir”, the old lady said with a smile. I took that one more candy and thought, how generous and truthful can a person be. It felt like i have just been given an early Christmas present. It was.
