Ironies

“Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out...”
~ Alanis Morissette

You know that the month has gone off the “bizarre” chart when the following things happen:

  • Rain starts falling at the beginning of summer.
  • You find yourself running a training course for corporate clients on the week in which you're supposed to be starting your work as a trainer of disadvantaged youth in south of nowhere.
  • Incidences of fire break out left and right on Fire Prevention Month.
  • You finally receive official word about the issuance of your work permit for Zambia and, on the same day, are told that there’s a strong possibility that your placement will be cancelled due to controversies that your employer got involved in.
  • You find yourself watching a tame version of The L Word during its debut on Philippine TV. (I never thought I’d ever use “tame” and “The L Word” in the same sentence.:D)
  • A daycare center operator holds hostage a busload of little children in order to ensure a brighter future for them.
Really now, who would have thought...it figures.:)
