Blue and Yellow

I believe everything in this world is connected to each other. And I also believe that there’s always a reason for everything that happens. And sometimes, moments in your life come when you least expect it. Thinking of that, I took pictures of signage, bulletins, and even news I see in the streets, malls, and even in bathrooms, and upload it to the photo album I created in “facebook” named "I saw the sign". Some pictures are grabbed from other profiles, or anywhere that has to be related to the albums theme. It features irony, wrong grammar, wrong spelling, or something that can be hilarious or serious as compared to where it was placed, or anything that might have any connection to what’s happening (current events) or what I’m doing at the moment. I also do this when I need to think out-of-the-box. Basically, I just take a look around for signs.

Sometime in my past relationships, I felt so demanding, and wanted my partner to do this or that, be like this or that. I always looked for something. Then I heard the song “Blue and Yellow” from the (emo) band, “The Used”. The song goes, “well you’ll never gonna find it if you’re looking for it, won’t come your way”. I thought to myself, “can I answer that song with “papa don’t preach” of “Madonna”? Haha! Oh well, that song really taught me something.

The other morning, which I was really having a very rough one, I go to work, just like the usual. I put on my headset, connected it to my phone, and played a random mp3. Things got interesting when a song “Here we go again” by “Paramore” played. It just seemed like someone’s telling me something or trying to comfort me. Anyway, I ignored that thought and continue walking towards the jeep terminal. As I stepped in the jeep, my phone shuts down (battery problem). So I turned it on again and played the mp3 once more. While waiting for the random song, I looked and noticed the woman in front of me, and oh, am I in heaven? How could it be that an “angel” simply sits in front of me on a typical Thursday morning, in a typical place, and on a typical means of transportation in the Philippines?… Snap!! I got back to reality. But still, I couldn’t just ignore the beauty in front of me. The next thing that I noticed really got my attention. She’s wearing a “blue” sleeveless vest on top of a “yellow” tube (or spaghetti type) shirt. O… M… G!!! That’s also the time my phone played a song, and guess what, it’s “Blue and Yellow”…

Is this a dream?
Why can’t I take my eyes off her?...
…
I can feel my heart beats faster…
…
And faster..
... Geez, I think she just caught me staring at her..

Then my brain dominates over the situation. It said, “ Yeah right! You have just experienced one of the million coincidences that could happen! Remember, the whole world is a big coincidence”. Ok fine!

Suplado mode…

Yet once more, I stared, and got caught..

Oh well, I’ll just savor the moment. Now I’m caught between the thought of getting off the vehicle along with her and ask for her name, or, staying since I will be late for work. Then the jeep driver asked us (the passengers) to transfer into another jeep during the traffic stop sign for some reason (I don’t know)… And I got to sit beside her this time… As I’m guessing what perfume she’s wearing, I focused my peripheral vision towards her direction. I got so close to an “angel”, as her arms are almost on my back while she holds on to the window. Minutes later, she got off in front of PLDT in Greenbelt. Once again, my brain dominates. I did not follow her. My heart just gave off one big pump before going back to normal. But that one pump, threw a thousand questions for my brain to answer. But only one really pierced through:

“Will I ever see her again?”
