Coincidence

Coincindences, great or small, amazes me.

I need not necessarily know the reason why such things happen or what they mean. All I know is that they happen.

It's great to know that you do things just because you want to.

Sounds vague?

There are times in law school where I take time to read bar questions and reviewers. I do not retype them all the time.

When we took up Obligations and Contracts back in first year, I took the liberty of looking for bar exam questions related to our topics for our third exam. I re-typed it, along with some questions from reviewers, and shared it. I think there were at least 3 questions that were asked from that compilation. Most of my classmates were also happy since they remembered the answers to those questions. I was happy for them. I was happy for me.

Unfortunately, there were just 14 of us who passed that subject :(

Whenever there is an opportunity and I have read all the basic stuff which I planned to read, I do enjoy group studies. It makes me remember things easily. In group studies I joined, there were questions that were asked that I was thankful that we were able to discuss it.

Last week, I also compiled bar questions for Provisional Remedies. Two questions came up in our exam. My classmates noticed. Some of them got the answer. I was happy.

The other class had their exam on Evidence last Saturday. Since I am still a "concerned citizen" as to my former classmates, I asked my former classmate "why is the best evidence rule a misnomer?", just to try if he already studied. I did not know the answer at that time but I asked him to look for it.

Anyway, I also told another former classmate if she had a compilation of UP Bar Questions. She said that she has. I checked it. I told her it did not include "the misnomer question". I gave her a copy since I had it photocopied.

I don't know what made me ask that question to them. I just did. It was the kind of question that constantly lingered on my mind. To think that it was not for my exam. And to think that I can't remember the answer to that question right now.

That question came up. I was happy because they knew the answer. I pray that they answered it satisfactorily.

I hope they did well. I hope we did well.

There are things that we notice because they make a big deal.

We notice these coincidences because they strike us.

If I would have asked 30 questions and none of it came out, it would not be as much as a big deal if 2 questions from such compilation were asked in an exam.

It's all about perspective.

It's all about how we view things.

It's all about our choice to take a look.

It's all about what we think matters to us.

That's when we notice these coincidences!
