I'm a Baby!

Nabasa ko sa isang article na there are more to coincidences than just mere, well, coincidences. Hindi ko na talaga maalala 'yung explanation basta ang thesis nu'ng writer ay merong cosmic forces that result in these coincidences, making them more than random events eerily related to one another. At marami nang mga documented cases that seem to prove this. This one comes to mind: a man shot his husband's lover but missed and the bullet got embedded in a tree instead. Years later the lover was chopping down when a loud bang was heard. He chopped down the tree with the embedded bullet which has finally hit its intended target after so many years.Not as dramatic pero marami na rin akong mga na-experience na coincidences pero nakakalimutan ko kaagad bago ko pa masulat. Ngayon meron akong na-note na coincidences sa aking buhay.Nu'ng Monday (September 2, 2006) nagbibihis ako for a meeting at nakabukas ang TV sa Discovery Channel. Palabas ang "The Lost Da Vinci Code." Diniscuss du'n ang symbology ng Madonna of the Rocks. Hindi raw kasi ma-distinguish 'yung Infant Jesus sa baby John the Baptist. Maari raw kasing naniniwala si Leonardo da Vinci na dapat ay pantay na pagpapahalaga ang ibibinigay natin sa banal na magpinsan. Hmmm...

Sa meeting prinesent ang unang pumasa sa isang regional screening ng Starstruck, kabilang ang isang scruffy-looking soccer player. Naalala ko ‘yung Discovery documentary dahil binaggit du’n na John the Baptist is often portrayed as scruffy, a sort of a wild man. Hmmm…

After the meeting I went to Baang Café to check my mail. Now kapag naka-connect ako sa internet, naa-active ang ilan sa ‘king Widgets. Sa Mac, a widget is a small program that performs a particular function. Lumalabas siya sa display screen mo. They serve ornamental and pretty practical purposes. Merong Widgets na nagko-convert from English to Metric system, merong translator ng languages, meron pa’kong nagpapakita ng satellite footage ng mundo at meron pang nagta-track ng earthquakes as they happen. One widget I also have will display a painting that is part of the collection of a certain Rijk Museum. And that night, ang painting na naka-display is “Salome With the Head of John the Baptist.” Hmmm….

It seems my coincidence story is complete. Pero kahapon, nang nasa Cebu kami, may nakita akong lumang Lifestyle section ng Inquirer. It included Maurice Arcache’s trip to Amsterdam where, the article informed me, the Rijk Museum can be found. Hmmm…

Ngayon, ano kaya’ng kinalaman nito sa aking buhay? Magkaka-boyfriend ba’kong painter na pangalan ay John at pakakasalan niya ako sa Netherlands?
