LUCK
Do you believe in luck? Webster defines it like this…"An unknown and unpredictable phenomenon that causes an event to result one way rather than another". Pretty vague huh? From what I understand, its something like an external or 3rd party issue that happens in which you’re original plan is screwed. Hehehe…well its what I decipher anyway. Let me share what happened to me for the past few days. Maybe it describes the very essence of luck.
It all started happening around 2 weeks ago when I lost a rather large sum of money on my self-proclaimed business. It was actually my first loss in the biz. I won’t go into much detail about it but I should have paid more attention to what fate was telling me. I used the word fate coz we’re talkin about luck. They are two phenomenons science could not ever explain. Anyway, I juz brushed off the incident as a loss and convinced myself to move on. But as the days go by, more and more weird things are happening that either lose me money or screw up my plans. Anyway, I’m still not convinced that something is amiss (most people say I have a thick skull =P)…I still brushed off the incidents as plain coincidence. But what happened last Sunday night really proved me wrong.
I always accompany my kid sister to our family friend’s place every Sunday because its much near UP Diliman where she’s studying. Anyway, I was drivin home after dropping her off to QC, when I heard a weird noise coming from below the car. Its like metal scraping another metal. Its getting louder by the minute so I slowed down and searched for a place to stop so I could check it out. Fortunately, there’s a nearby gas station ahead so I drove there and investigated where the sound was coming from. I thought it was only my muffler but when I looked under the hood…the sound was coming from there. Unfortunately, the sound was coming from WITHIN the engine. I tried starting the car…all I got was a click. Tried again…’click’…’click’. Well, to make the story short I won’t be going anywhere. I’m stuck there till help came and towed the car. Again, I paid a rather silly amount for the car to be brought back to Pque. And that doesn’t cover the actual amount for the car to be fixed. *sigh*
The car’s still being fixed on the time of this writing. The mechanic says it would take long before the car would be ready again and would send me the bill later. *sigh* and double *sigh *sigh*. Well, it’s another day…I wonder what would happen next. Wierd, huh? I ask again…do you believe in luck?
