Serendipity

@ SM Manila (2011.0703)


I was with my MGM sisters last Sunday and we had a very late celebration of Agnes’ birthday.

A rainy, lazy afternoon, Nes and I agreed to meet at SM Manila, bought some food and went to the eagerly waiting Sheila’s place.

When I saw She that afternoon, I suddenly realized how much has happened and how time flew so fast. OMG! It’s been three years!

I still remember how it all began: the first day of class. I was walking towards the Post Office building that Sunday morning, trying to find where the classroom is and was startled when somebody pat my shoulder.

I had my headset on and was really surprised, even scared that somebody would come up to me especially on that part of town. It was Manila after all, I thought she was a con and I was about to be robbed.

“Hi! Are you also looking where the class venue is? For PLM?” The stranger said then smiled. She introduced herself, “I’m Agnes.” It was a rather awkward moment but I weakly established to introduce myself. We walked towards the gate near McArthur Bridge and asked the security personnel and eventually found the classroom.  Agnes introduced me to another girl, Sheila who she met inside the PLM campus 2 days earlier.

All these happened one hot summer day years ago: April 6, 2008, to be exact. So much has changed since then. It was like meeting 2 strangers unexpectedly, serendipity. We had shared ups, downs, unexpected turns, starts and stops, others have come and gone but I’m extremely thankful the two of them stayed.
