Last day of the month. And it's Harry Potter's birthday...
.....
Do you sometimes think luck hits you when you are not expecting it?
Today I went to the bank to deposit some money. I decided to go out while the boys were having their afternoon nap so that I would not have to take them along. Being payday today, I already expected a long queue so I decided to bring my Deathly Hollows book with me to while the time away. When I got there, I asked for a number from the guard and my number was 1. When I checked the counter, the number read 75. Oh-kay. Since all the seats were occupied, I braced myself for the long wait, stood in a corner, flipped open my book and started reading. After reading like 3 pages, the guard (who was near me by the way) asked me if I was going to do one transaction and I said "yes". He then directed me to teller 4 because he said she does single transactions only. He got my number back and I proceeded to the counter. My deposit slip had scarcely touched the countertop when the teller announced to the waiting people, "Yung mga may single transaction, pumila lang kayo dito." ("Those with single transactions, please line up here.") If I tarried a bit longer, I would have been at the back of the line (teller 4 was on the other side of the room from where I was standing) or I might have waited until all the people before my number were entertained. So, turns out, it really was a stroke of luck that I ended up in front of the teller before the announcement was made, another stroke of luck that the guard told me about the teller at the right time and another stroke of luck that i was not asked for my number since I would have been transferred to the back of the line.
Yup, lucky.

I have finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. The moment I closed the book after it ended, I really felt like I lost a friend. It was just sad that the tale is over. Of course I am quite happy that good prevailed over evil but still, I know I will really miss all of Harry's adventures.
It just seems too anticlimatic that after all this time, after anticipating the final book, I am now sad that I have no more Harry stories to look forward to. Yes, really sad. =(
