Peculiar events

Missed call

Yesterday, October 10, around 7:30 in the morning, my office mate, room mate and friend Jo woke up showing me her phone and asking why on earth would I try to call her when we even slept in the same bed. True enough, my number appeared on her "missed calls" but i really never tried calling her. Maybe, I dialed her number during my sleep so I double checked with my phone. She was listed in my dialed numbers but the time of call was several days ago.

I haven't been myself lately. For some unexplainable reason, I felt sad (not depressed). Something heavy seemed to hang from my shoulders. I tried meditating and all those soul-searching stuff...but i really can't pinpoint a single reason for the strange heaviness. Certainly it wasn't about work, school or money...although those three were kind of bugging me, I never flagged them as "problems."

Black swallow tail moth

Tired of a whole day's class, I still dropped by the office to check mails and to submit academic requirements via email. In between attachments, I was facebooking ang chatting online with some friends. Then, a black swallow tail moth flew in through the window...circled over the place and lodged unmoving under my chair. I don't believe in superstitions as that would be unchristian and all. But, I have my own dose of the unexplainable...particularly in death-related stuffs. The creeps I felt at that moment was strong enough but my faith in God who had conquered death was stronger. Since I was a child, I had been taught that prayers dispel all fears and it definitely did.

Doppelganger in Facebook

Intrigued by my friend's report about how fun Zynga's Cafe World is...I decided to try the application. With a quich tutorial and coaches from friends, I managed to start with my cyber restaurant. The application operates like most of FB's previous games like farmtown, yoville, barn buddy, farmville, pet society and etc. In these apps, people assume a cyber character. In the case of Cafe world, one assumes the character of a chef, waiter or a customer. In the game, I was cooking something when some customer walked in and with a name same as mine. Pointing the cursor to that character, my profile picture appeared...which means that I was a chef and a customer at the same time. The two cyber characters never looked alike. My chef character had a lighter skin and brown bobbed hair. The customer character had dark brown skin and long, black hair. Consulting my friend, she never experienced that phenomenon. She's on level 9 already and was using the app for quite a while now. Doppelgangers are associated with death...I don't know if this too applies to cyber doppelgangers.

But that doesn't matter. Not at all. Because I know, I will have a long and fruitfull life.
