IF things are really meant for you, in the most unexpected situation, you can have them! If not, whether you like it or not, or even how hard you try to have those things... you cannot have them!
Someone gave me a 2 quarter dollars, 1 five cents and 1 cent. Unfortunately, nawala ang isa sa dalawang quarter dollar way way back and I don’t know kung saan siya nawala… naibayad ko ba siya sa jeep, nahulog or what... basta nawala siya nang 'di ko sinasadya.
As the days goes by, I never thought na kakailanganin ko ‘yung quarter dollar na nawala for a personal reason. From then on, inisip ko and I prayed na if it is meant, sana makita ko 'yung coin na nawala bago dumating ang araw na kailangan ko ito. I don't know kung saan o paano ko hahanapin 'yung foreign coin o paano kaya ako makakakita ng kapalit nito. Pumasok na rin sa isip ko na 'di ko na makikita ‘yun quarter dollar at baka ‘yung tatlong US coin na lang talaga ang nasa akin kapag dumating ‘yung araw na hinihintay ko. Despite of that, I keep on believing na, if it is meant... makikita o makakakita ako ng kapalit.
Life is full of surprises! Every day, every moment, every minute, every second, every hour and even in the most unexpected situation, may mga surprises! Would you believe that after a long time looking for a quarter dollar, finally, I found one, unexpectedly?!
Last Sunday, March 7, 2010, date of my devotion to Our Lady of Rosary of Manaoag. Around 3:40 in the morning sa bus terminal, after kong bumili ng ticket and before getting in the bus for a bit long trip going to Pangasinan, routine ko na mag-restroom muna to fix my self. Sa bus terminal, after using the restroom, you have to pay coins. That day, I don’t have 3 peso and all I have is 5 peso. Since self busing ang pagbabayad at dahil 5 peso nga ang pera ko, I have to take 2 coins as my sukli. To my surprise… nang susuklian ko na ang sarili ko, woot-woot, naging dollar sign ang eyeballs ko... I saw a quarter dollar! Ito ba ‘yung quarter dollar ko na nawala?
It took a moment bago ako nakapag-decide whether to take the quarter dollar and 1 peso coin as my change or what. I told myself na baka ito nga ‘yung nawawala kong quarter dollar, baka naibayad ko siyanoon sa mga nauna kong trip. Baka dahil sa 'di pa ganu'n kagising ang diwa noon sa mga nauna kong trip, 'di ko napansin na naibayad ko 'yung US coin nang 'di ko sinasadya. Naisip ko rin na ‘di lang naman ako ang may quarter dollar, puwedeng hindi sa akin ‘yun. But since wala naman siguro na kusang kukuha sa foreign coin as their sukli or else accidentally ay makuha nila 'yun dahil sa pagmamadali. Probably quits na rin siguro kung kukunin ko 'yung quarter dollar as my sukli kung hindi man 'yun ang quarter dollar ko na nawala. Kasi, unintentionally, nawala ko 'yung coin, naibayad ko man sa jeep or what... 'di magagamit 'yung quarter dollar ko ng kung sino man ang nakakuha. Kaya kung kukunin ko 'yung foreign coin, 'di ko rin ito magagamit para ipambili... bottom line, kinuha ko ‘yung quarter dollar and 1 peso coin as my sukli.
Complete na ‘yung US coins... complete na bago pa dumating 'yung araw na hinihintay ko. Kung talagang kailangan mo ang isang bagay, ibibigay at ibibigay o ibabalik at ibabalik ito sa’yo ng pagkakataon in the most unexpected situation nang walang ka-effort-effort. Kung hindi naman talaga para sa'yo at 'di mo naman masyado kailangan, kahit anong sikap at tigaya ang gawin mo, hindi ‘yun mapapasaiyo.
Life is full of surprises… surprises to make or break! But one thing for sure… in every surprises, there’s always a realization. Realization that we can use for the next surprise that life will bring us! What I’ve realized sa missing quarter dollar… ibibigay at ibibigay ng pagkakataon ang mga bagay na talagang para sa’yo, lalo na sa oras na kailangan mo... surprisingly! We don't have to push our self to have what we want or what we need in an instant, for every thing has it's own perfect time. Kung may nawala sa'yo, just in time... may kapalit ito! If it is meant to be yours, whatever it is, mapapasaiyo ito... sometimes it doesn't matter kung ito 'yung exact na kailangan mo, the point is, ibibigay sa'yo kung ano 'yung para sa'yo na kailangan mo... just in time... sa perfect time... mapapasaiyo ito, surprisingly — just be patient!
Complete na 'yung US coins ko... 2 quarter dollar, 1 five cents and 1 cent. Nakumpleto ko sila bago dumating 'yung araw na hinihintay ko. Just in time... complete na sila!
Happy Tuesday!
