Voila!

As a Christian, I know that I shouldn't really heed the words of things like fortune cookie. But sometimes, the fortunes from those cookies seem right on target, that I can't really dismiss what it says completely.

Yesterday, I cracked open a fortune cookie after a meal out, and got a proper fortune--not one of those stupid "You are great person... blah blah" thing--that told me I'll find an item I've been looking for within few days. At first, I took the word "item" loosely, and hoped it meant "someone," like a hot girl or cute girl. ;D

But then there was this "item" item I've been missing: my iPod shuffle. It was lost in the rush to airport last week, and I wasn't able to find it even with all-out search last Sunday after I got back from the trip.

Today, after I got out of my car and started walking to my work, I remembered that I sometimes put my iPod in my shirt's chest pocket (whatever that is called). Remembering the fortune, I half-heartedly felt the pocket, and voila! My iPod, sitting in the pocket.

I know this may sound trivial; after all, people do lose and find things all the time. However, when such finding is preceded first with giving up, then with a fortune telling, one can't help but feel the coincidence may not be just a coincidence.

And that's what I feel like, and I will always remember the fortune that told me my golden days are not far from now.

I think your golden days have already passed with out you noticing it...

and furthermore, now that you found your "item", you've lost your chance of getting that new IPhone FOREVER!!!!....
