For the first time in my life, a fortune cookie actually predicted my fortune!
I'm not kidding neither!!
Early last week, I had Chinese take-out as my dinner.
As always, there were fortune cookies...
Well, the one I opened said something like, "You will meet friends you haven't seen for a long time".
A few days later, I've discovered a contact information of an old friend who I lost contact about 8-9 years ago!! This was so random to the point it was freaky...
When I was flipping through a design book that my co-worker had just purchased night before, one business card caught my eyes. The name on the card was very familiar.
So I've checked out the website that was on the business card.
After I read her profile on website, I realized it was a girl that was my friend back in high school, but she went back to Japan with her family.
Eventually I lost contact with her...
I remember how she was always sewing/knitting something.
She was very creative. And as I expected, now she is working as a fashion designer in the States; although I wasn't surprised to learn she is back in the States. She seemed to fit in American culture so well. Also her English was excellent and sounded like a native speaker since she was born in the States. That was quite a memorable thing to me since I met her when I just moved to the States and hardly spoke any English.
Well, I've emailed to her, hoping to hear back from her soon.
We'll see how this goes...

先週中華のお持ち帰りが夕食だったんで、フォーチュンクッキーがついてきた。
開けてみると「昔の友人に再会」と書いてあるんだよね。
フォーチュンクッキーと言いつつも一回も未来当たったことなかったんだけど、今回＊初めて＊当たった〜！！！
後日会社の同僚が持ってた名刺デザインの本をめくっていると…
あれっ？ なんか似たような名前だなぁ…
えっ。ファッションデザイナー？ まさかねぇ。
もし彼女だったら偶然すぎて怖いかも…
で、半信半疑でウェブサイト覗いてみると………
8年以上前に連絡の途絶えてた高校時代の友人でした！
しかも日本にいると思ってたら、アメリカに戻ってきてるし。
ミクシィでの再会は何度か経験してるけど、コレはあまりにも偶然すぎて怖い〜 ＊＿＊；
彼女が同業で彼女がデザインしたものが載ってたんなら、少しは分かるんだけど、たまたま偶然見ていたデザインの本に偶然にもファッションデザイナーの彼女の名刺のデザインが載ってたんだもん！！
偶然とは恐ろしいです。フォーチュンクッキー、甘く見ない方が良いかも…
