Okay despite, my horrible under the construction layout, I can't help but continue on making my posts.
Although being a college student, growing up under the heavy influence of understanding situations and results in scientific and logical ways; there are times to which we can not run away from superstitions and claim that they are true.
I remember when I was awaiting my UPenn admissions, I got on an early train because they were going to post the acceptance/rejections online at 3:00, so I jumped hope as quick as possible. I was staring outside the train window when I saw the adjacent train labeled with the number 4444. Seriously, I'm not some old Chinese lady but four fours, that's like getting thirteen thirteens for Asian people. Load and behold, I got rejected from UPenn.
I really hate waiting for results. Similary today was the interview request acceptance/rejection for Ogilvy and Mather ad agency. I really wanted it so bad, just as much as I wanted the UPenn acceptance but that didn't get me any good results so I was so scared. I ran all my rush week errands and got on a later train than usual. Waiting endlessly for that F train to make it's grand entrance, until I spotted a lady holding a really bright red bag. It caught my eye and what drew me closer was that it had the Ogilvy logo on it!
Exactly as above! Was it a sign? Okay I really don't want 4444 signs but dude it was staring me right in the face. I seriously wanted to go and talk to her until the train finally came and we both got lost in the crowd. It's a sign alright when it comes to situations like this. Thanks to that lady with the red Ogilvy bag, I got accepted for an interview. It's a minor win but up against all those crazy odds of my school versus the thousand others vying for the same interview, I consider myself lucky. Sigh
Now that I believe it was a sign, I'm still very curious. Ogilvy has bags? Was it a store? Wait Ogilvy has a store? I wonder who that lady was....
