Paminsan-minsan, tinitignan ko si Katherine habang natutulog. In my mind I'm thinking if I should make my move paglapag ng eroplano sa KLIA, or just let this opportunity pass.
Feeling ko may Senate hearing sa utak ko.

Sabi ng Pro-Tadhana:
Simple lang naman ang plan eh: you add each other sa Facebook, continue your friendship online and take it from there. Serendipity at it's finest.
Oy, it's been more than a year since your previous relationship ended. Hoping ka pa rin sa ex mo teh? Aba, move on move on din pag may time. After that amboring na ng lovelife mo. Ang nanay mo kinakabahan na baka di na siya magka-apo sa'yo. Mga relatives mo nagdududa na kung closet queen ka. Yung mga friends mo tinutukso kang di ka pa rin maka-move on sa ex mo. Payag ka ba nun? Gusto mo bang yun na ang matanim sa isip nila?
C'mon! This is a chance to prove them wrong! And if you'll be honest, what's happening now is a chance for you to get romance back into your dull, boring, lifeless life. Oo, may ganun talaga, lifeless life. Ikaw yun.
Di mo ba nami-miss yung may tumatawag sayo ng "Bhe"? Yung may nagme-message sayo sa Viber na may "mwah mwah, tsup tsup"? Look around you! Mga ka-batch mo junakis na nila ang nasa Instagram nila pero ikaw, kung hindi Nanay mo eh pusa mo ang profile pic mo?! Opportunity knocks but once. May chance ka na sa Poreber, tol! Ito yun. Sige, ikaw rin, kung di mo pa i-grab ang chance na ito, yung tadhana magiging TandaNa. Oo tatanda ka na!
Can't you see that the Universe has conspired to make this work? Ilang star ng Pleyades at Big Dipper ang nagpumilit mag-align sa kalangitan para lang sa moment na to, ayaw pa mo? I'm sure it's not happening for nothing. Serendipity nga diba? God makes all things work together for good. YOUR GOOD!
Sabi naman ni Pro-Choice:
Pero hindi rin eh. Ibig bang sabihin, just because parang nakialam na ang tandhana eh "sign na yun" mula sa Lord, kaya sasakyan mo na ang agos at magpapatianod ka na lang - bahala na si Batman kung anong magiging ending nito? No! You know better than that.
Self check. What's your intention about her? What's your long-term goal?
Do you see yourself getting into a serious relationship with this girl? Do you see yourself getting married and having children with her? Dahil kung hindi rin lang kasal ang intensyon, bakit ka pa makikipag-relasyon?
Man up! You are no longer the same man who gets into relationship for the sake of being in a relationship. Remember who you are now. Jesus changed you.
Pro-Tadhana:
Cm'on, man! Look at her! Isn't she lovely. Isn't she mm-mmmm. Wag kang ipokrito. Imagine hugging her. Tsaka when was the last time you hugged a girl? 2013 pah! Nung nagpapaalam ka sa ex-girlfriend mo dito rin sa airport na ito, na few months later pala eh aalis na rin dahil magma-migrate ang buong family pa-Australia.
Besides, para saan yung coincidence na nag-meet kayo ni Katherine sa airport, sige nga? That's the thing called tadhana, brother.

Chance Encounter
Romance"Do you believe in coincidence?" "No, I don't believe in coincidence." I looked at her eyes and paused. "But I believe in serendipity." Coincidence is merely a product of random chance. Serendipity follows a pattern. It follows a design. Naniniwala...
