Faith in Fate
March 11, 2006
Have you ever felt like time was moving at a particular pace? It’s like the world was rotating in accordance to a certain rhythm…a rhythm which is making the clock’s hour- and minute-hand move in synchronicity with a fateful happenchance…if it is an event of chance at all.
In moments like these, you would feel as if everything is right. You’d be at ease and it’s as if you know..you just really know, deep in your heart, that it’s all happening for a reason. For what reason, you may not necessarily know. At least not until that instance comes when you feel the like..”ahh..” or rather, “wow..so this is what it’s all about..”.
The sun would be brighter, the sky a lighter shade of blue. At least that’s how you would feel like they are when that moment comes. Your smile would never be as radiant..and your heart, alight with joy.
But what if moments like these are ceased even before they are set to begin? I mean, who gets to play what in this movie-like setting we call life? If everything happens in accordance to a certain script then Who’s writing it? And who’s directing who? These questions, and a series of others would surely be asked by many. But the fact is, they are never meant to be answered..or maybe they are..and the only one who could answer them is you. When the time comes, you would know the exact answer to all of these. Don’t ask when. When you know…you just know. In the time being, all you have to and could do is wait. Wait. And have faith.
“Faith in what?”, you might ask. One of the motion pictures I have watched claimed that “…life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, it’s a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan…if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call “fatum”, what we currently refer to as destiny.“.
The bottom line would be…everything happens for a reason. Questions would have to remain as they are until the right time comes for them to be answered. Don’t take my or anyone else’s word for it. Have faith in fate and see for yourself.
Almost Weekend
Whew! It’s been quite a week!
One of the subjects I’m right now taking up is English 3. And annually, the Liberal Arts department of our school hold a competition having all classes under English subject as participants. Events such as essay-writing contest, modern dance, speech choir, etc. are being conducted. Our class participated in the last 2 that I’ve mentioned.
We didn’t do so well in our speech choir presentation. We weren’t able to practice painstakingly. It’s just a bit hard to gather everyone considering that we’re two sections combined into one plus we also have irregular studes as classmates. The schedules just won’t jive. Plus, we practiced 2 very short days before the final competition. Take that! However, we won first place in the modern dance competition! Yaay! All our late night practices paid off..if not in the speech choir, at least in the dance competition, it did.
Well, basically, I’m just so relieved that it’s finally over, the competition. The thing has been on my mind the whole week. It’s considered to be our final examination in the subject, mind you. That’s probably why I had it stuck in my head the whole time. But now, I dont really care that we didn’t win in one of the competitions..I’m just glad it’s over! Whew! Tomorow’s gonna be another busy day. Got an activity to assist in in the morning and some projects and assignments to finish once I get home by afternoon.
Well, I pretty much expected it to be this way coz the semester’s almost coming to its conclusion and, as usual, we’ve got lists of to-do’s all lined up. Whew!
It’s almost weekend…and it’ll be a busy one, for sure. 
Bye for now!
