OK: my friend Pablo, who was an international student at my university for almost as long as me, but now graduated.. go through OPT.. went back home to Venezuela.. thought I'd never see him again. Well first of all, he's in Spain for the summer. But not just ANYWHERE!!!! He's in Alicante! His sister lives here.. and at first I thought.. wait.. don't even tell me my neighbors are Pablo's relatives (they're Venezuelans) !!!! haha but no.. so, I saw he posted he was in Spain on Facebook.. and then I asked, oh, me too, where are you in Spain? I thought he was gonna tell me Madrid.. Barcelona.. Ibiza.. not Alicante!!!! So I was like omg.. that's crazy close to me, not even an hour away! We have to hang out! And he was like of course we do! So we planned to get together at the beach on thursday, and go out to eat, with my sisters. But that's not even the craziest. Last night he's like.. yea.. I'm actually coming to Murcia to IKEA tomorrow.. and I was like.. no shit.. I am going to IKEA myself, I have to buy oven trays and stuff.. and then jokingly we said yea maybe we'll run into each other - which would be nuts because I didn't know when he was gonna be in that HUGE store, and he didn't know when I was going either.. and it is a MAZE in there.. so I go in, rush in in fact cause I wanted to just buy those trays and go home, I was tired.. not thinking about Pablo at all.. and then I hear.. "Laety! Laety! Laety!!!!! Laetyyyyyy!!!!!" finally I turn around and THERE HE IS!!!! HAHA!!!! Can you believe it? What a crazy coincidence that was?? SMALL world! Or.. is everything just all connected? I don't really beleive in coincidences.. it's amazing! I thought I'd never see him again after his OPT expired and he went home to Venezuela.. we both were chatting and amazed and really THIS could be the LAST place we would have thought to meet-up again! I thought.. if I see him again.. it'll be when/if he comes back NJ/NY. Besides I didn't know his sis lived here.. and I don't think he knew my parents lived in this part of Spain either! What do you think???? It's FAR OUT dude
