Fate's practical joke

The amusing thing about the events in life is that sometimes, things happen that are far too great to be coincidence.

Let's flashback a year ago at this same month. A gal pal was ranting to me-- she was supposedly on her way to France to be a flight stewardess but as bad luck would have it, diplomacy shit happened and to cut the long story short, she is still Manila now. She is working again but somehow she feels down because she really wanted that to be her big break. Now the thing that makes this whole story suck even more is that, well.. she was the only one left. All of her other friends who applied for work in France actually got to go there. Can u see what a sickass fate could be sometimes?

Back to manila, present day (3 am something)

I emailed her this early morning. I was up at around 3 am. I couldn't sleep coz I had this dream. Anyway, the week before a different friend was complaining about life - another "opportunity problem". She on the other hand, didn't know what opportunity to get - she had a choice of migrating to Australia, or working in Canada, or working in London as a hotel concierge. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with Fate!!? I just told her off and said "Well, that's yer fortune, better take advantage of it, lest it be taken away from you". I told her just that then I stoppped furthering the conversation. It would only make me feel worse for my friend (the first one I mentioned). There are so many blessed people who waste things while there are other kind DESERVING people who are left with false hope, and mind you - they are doing SOMETHING about their situation in life. They are not idling by, but it's just that fate didn't have it in for them for that I wanna screw fate one day..

Not that I'm really mean, but karma will probably take its toll on missed opportunities sooner or later. I just pray sometimes that the hands of time would run a bit slower.
