Fortune Tellers, Faith, Destiny and Control

By -
When I was still in my teens, an amateur fortune teller told me three things that stuck to me:
  • I will have four boyfriends. I will break up with the first one, the 2nd and third will dump me and the fourth will marry me
  • My first child will be separated from me
  • I will spend majority of my life trying to leave the country

I am not sure how accurate it is but he is correct on the first and second boyfriends. I am still waiting for the third and fourth.

I don't have a child yet but I have always considered my sister my own. If that is true, he is right. I am away from her and will always be because she will never be biologically mine.


I didn't spend majority of my life trying to leave the country. I spent 3 years trying to leave the country and finally made it out. At some point, I actually stopped trying because I was happy back home.

Then, stars aligned and I found myself with enough money and enough freedom to pursue a new life, a life I once wanted but I didn't "spend" most of my life chasing that dream to leave and start a new life in another country.

It was all of three years and that's broken three years.

Now, the question is whether or not I will succeed in having the life I want here.

That's the part I forgot to ask the amateur fortune teller. Being able to reach the "start" point is different from being able to finish the race... successfully.

However, alone in this house at this hour in this cold morning made me wonder... how much of what he "foretold" will turn out to be true? How much of what he said was actually true?

Are there people really gifted with the ability to see one's future? If so, how does the images come to them?

How much of what they say will influence the future we will make for ourselves?

Have you ever had a fortune teller read your fortune to you? Did you believe him/her? Did the fortune prove to be true?

Do You Wish You Are Younger?

"Why weren't I born in the 90s?" I was with a friend for over 6 hours yesterday and we did talk about a whole lot of things but that was the thing I remember the most. She was talking about this hot guy who was in his mid-20s and she is in her mid 30s. She can't help but envy those college student who has a "chance" with the guy. Let me get something clear. This hot guy she was talking about is an international celebrity. Not that you can't dream big, look at Katie Holmes. There is also David Beckham who declared he was going to marry Posh Spice when he was still unknown. Then there's Carolyn Bessett who told her friend she will marry JFK Jr. someday.  As bad of an example as it may be, the truth is that there is still some sort of standards when it comes to dreaming big in this sense.

America's Best Dance Crew is back after 5 years of absence and it inspired to make a come back to my unfortunately abandoned blog. I am not a dancer. Although I can certainly move to the groove I am far from being graceful. It is, however, ABDC that inspired my appreciation of hiphop as a dance. Season 8 brings together the past champions from almost every season including Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, Elektrolytes, I Am Me, And We Are Heroes. Kinjaz is the 6th group composed of different choreographers in the industry including a Jabbawockeez, Ben Chung. From a marketing perspective, there is no better way to bring back a TV show but to pull in marketing aces they have in every season. After all, most, if not all, of these groups have developed a loyal following brought about by their success after their ABDC stint. There are a few, however, who are not as successful but that is a marketing tool in itself. This season is a restart both for ABDC and to many of the crews a

I am truly amazed that someone is reading this blog. Not only that, someone bothered to email and ask me a question. While she asks to remain anonymous she asked me to answer her question here instead of her email. Her questions: You seem smart, why are you still single? Are you ugly? Well, miss anonymous. I did write about how I look in thisentry and I stand by what I said. However, it did inspire me to look into the possible reasons I am still single. Here are the possible reasons. 1.        While I was on a date with my boyfriend, I forgot I was with him. I bought movie tickets while he was buying food. I bought one ticket. You can’t make this shit up. 2.        Having too many male friends made me think like them. A guy feels kinda gay when he goes on a date with me. 3.        I have too many gay friends and think and act like them. A guy feels kinda gay when he goes on a date with me. 4.        I almost died when I was a kid. I had such a high fever for mo
