On Love and Luck

Last night, as me, my sister and dad were travelling to a family dinner when my sister mentioned the jackpot for this weeks lottery was P130M plus. Of course, me and my dad exclaimed that we would place our bets the next day and hope that maybe we would get lucky. And then,my sister said she would place her bets first thing the next morning although she knows she would not win. I asked her how she can be sure she would not win 'cause, for all we know, she could be very lucky. Her answer was quite amusing, albeit funny.

"Kasi swerte na ko sa love..." followed by that ever so boisterous giggle that she does everytime she states a fact that she passes on as a joke. Of course, the scientific man in me would disagree. Even Einstein would find it impossible to interpolate the direct relationship between luck and love. But then again, my sister's name is not Einstein and she may be right..

You see, she has been in love with the same guy for a good 7 or 8 years. How lucky can you get. In this day and age, that is quite a feat. But, she is not lucky because of this reason. My sister is not lucky for having a handsome, hardworking and loyal boyfriend. She's not lucky that her boyfriend is understanding about her jobs and quirks. And she is not lucky because her boyfriend is a good person. She is lucky, in fact, very very lucky because she has found love.

She has found what most people only dream about. She has found and embraced a life of love. Love for her family, friends and that very special guy in her life. Because of this, she is happy. Very very happy.

So does luck and love really stand on opposite poles that no matter how we look at it, they are impossible to be connected with each other? Well, I don't know but one things for sure, at this point in my life, I'd gladly prefer the P130M plus lottery price.

But then again, that is just now...hehehe....'cause I'm feeling really lucky....
