Tale of the Coins - A Theoretical Dissertation

It's eerie how on this day alone I happened to chance upon three coins... a peso coin & two twenty five cents, in three different occassions. First was this morning when I went home from the office. Second was when I went to the laundromat this afternoon. The last one was along my way back here in the office.

Given that, and reminiscent of the series of exams regarding conclusory arguments that I "suffered" in my application in DLSU, I came up with several postulations on what could be the implications of these three coins on my goings-on today.

1) I might be on the process of developing a habit of stooping on the walk. That's why I got the chance to find the coins along my way in the first place. This conclusion further devolves into sub-postulates:

1.1) I have a scoliosis and/or should see a chiropractor soon.
1.2) My self-esteem is degenerating on a steady phase. Thus, the self-effacing stoop.
1.3) I am ugly and I am very much aware of it and I don't want my face seen by anyone. Thus, I should spend more time looking down while walking.

2) Maybe God wanted to give me signs that I should be more thrifty. I mean I am the most voracious spender this side of Makati but at least I know my limits. I stopped depending on my parents for my personal wants right after I got my work and it was then that I realized that it really was not easy to spend a self-earned moolah. Nevertheless, despite that, the compulsion is unavoidable especially when you know that you really have something to spend.

3) That by continued walking while stooping down will earn you something, and is not that bad a source of income. Who knows I might trip on a bundle of 1000 bills next time. I should consider "lost coin hunting" as a profession.
