S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E! Gotcha!

LIFE. Does it surprise you too? I guess it's life's "nature" to "surprise" each and every person in it's own special way. Besides, why do we call the current on-goings "the present" if it does not have with it surprises? Presents are meant to surprise, and please us, ain't they?


Ok, you are bored to death at your current work. You've been willing to get out of there and find something much, much better. And all of a sudden, without any premonition you get a call from a prospective employer who gives you an employment opportunity of a lifetime. Whooohaa!! What a pleasant surprise. Goodbye, boring and non-rewarding job... hello, great-paying, ultra-supah good multinational company!!! Yeheeyy!

Or maybe, you really know that you're losing your job. And you ask: "Oh, life! Why do you have to be so rude to me?" And just about you are losing faith, you land on a perfect job opportunity! Yiiihhaaa! That's what I call a great coincidence!


More so, you may be one of those people who thought that they've got the best boyfriend/girlfriend in the whole universe. Only to find out after marriage that he/she has the tendency to break your eardrums with his/her loud snoring? Well, maybe you can just put on your earplugs and you'll get through the night.


That's life. It has its twists and turns. Ups and downs. Opportunities and disappointments. They all come together. Like good and bad. Yin and Yang. Julio and Julia. Kenneth and Arlyn (well... hahahaha)... The truth is there's no way we can move forward through life without bumping into its good and bad surprises every now and then.


So how do you deal with it? It's so easy to tell someone, "It's ok, you can do it.". But when it's your turn to beat the odds, how do you react? Actually, I really don't know sometimes. I'm still trying to formulate the best way to beat my worst fear. I am yet again to convince myself that there is actually sunshine after the rain. Or that, the best is yet to come...


And right now, I am praying... praying hard that I won't have to face this worst fear very soon.
