Just My Luck

Last Friday, I watched the movie Just My Luck (starring La Lohan) with my "niece-in-law" and it was a blast! I had fun watching it, and at least my depression eased out a bit. The movie was a little too impossible though... imagine all your life you've been very lucky, and nothing bad has ever happened to you. But still, we both enjoyed each and every scenario offered by the movie.

While on our way home (hailing a cab again, to no avail. Good thing there’s this cab service), I kept thinking about my life. Was I ever lucky? And if so, did I ever get lucky most of the time, or mostly my life had been a series of mostly unlucky moments rather than lucky ones?

While thinking about the questions I have thought of, I realized that I do have a "charmed" life, a life that I have been taking for granted (just like Lindsay in the movie) and realized it when it was taken away. Well, it's not that my life is so bad right now, but last week weren't the best either.

But like what the movie said, to have luck or "blessings" is just like a wheel, one moment you have it, the next you don't until you have it again. And I have witnessed this over the weekend. I had been having sleepless nights and depression last week because of what happened to me and all, but last weekend, a burden was lifted, thanks to Enrique. He secretly talked to my dad, just to tell him that I'm ok. I don't know, but he was right, after this, I felt fine. He felt fine. His mother felt fine. And also, I have been ranting about hailing cabs and all, that was the "unlucky" part after years of driving my own car. But today, the tide has turned a bit when I was able to drive Enrique's car. I hope that this streak will continue, and that my life will now see bluer skies. And I promise that once my "charmed life" is finally back, I will never take it for granted. And I will always keep in mind what I have always believed in my heart, that all low moments of my life actually lead to better endings.

And also, I believe that all "lucky" moments are not really about luck, but are about blessings.
