If you think you are a bad luck charm to the trip, think again

Sure there could be a series of unfortunate events that might point into the same direction that something (badly) unexpected always happen, when you, khunnai, are part of that activity.

It might seem like you are some kind of a bad luck charm to whatever trip or event you want to go. When you happened to buy MJ last concert tour in London and booked the flight to go to London for the weekend, MJ just happened to die two weeks before the concert. So you ended up going to London anyway seeing just O2 stadium without even the shadow of MJ. (Not to mention that you missed stupid Ryan Air flight and the lovely weekend seemed not so lovely afterward -- more on Ryan Air cautions later)

When you happened to buy a ticket to Rock concert festival just because you want to see Oasis which was supposed to be the last band performing, Noel Gallagher decided to quit Oasis 2 days before the concert. And since it was a concert festival, the other bands were still playing, and so you wouldn't get the money back. So you went anyway to see small little bands you never heard any of their music and Deep Purple (who came to replace Oasis) trying to survive playing rock concert in their 60's. And you wondered how Deep Purple and Oasis are so much in similarity.

When you bought the plane tickets, booked the hotel, booked the car, planned all the agenda (or when someone else in the trip was kind enough to do all that for you) for the weekend in Palermo, Sicily, the ever diverse part of Italy, there happened to be pouring rain that caused flood & mudslide into the region. And you had to cancel at the last minute everything you planned (or someone else in the trip was kind enough to cancel everything for you). And you walked home with the luggage you stayed up thoughtfully prepared each wardrobe one by one the night before. And you ended up blogging about the entire story.

If there are more than 3 similar stories happening to you, you think you probably have something to do with it. Oh gosh... isn't that terrible? First, MJ died. Then Oasis split up. Then there was a flood in Sicily. Were they all because of you? Shld you keep all this to yourself or tell your friends coz if they knew, they wouldn't go to any trip with you anymore.

May I say, khunnais, regardless of how likely the situation is shaped to be, it's not because of you, dear. No matter how much you would like the world to circle around you, if you're not as "hot" as the sun, the world would not do so. And I know you're gonna argue on the level of hotness you possess. You can't win over the sun. So MJ died because he had a heart condition thing. Oasis split up because of Liam and Noel (and not you!). There was flood in Sicily because there was a lot of rain.

It might be fun to use this to test the real friendship with your friends -- to see which ones still wanna go with you even though you are a bad luck charm to the trip. Thou I doubt that anyone would not want to travel with such an over-dramatic, self-absorbed, yet ever more entertaining khunnai like you!

P.S. The intention for this article was meant to lighten up, so my apology if it offends anyone. Please note that it is not done on purpose at all. And I really hope the situation in Sicily gets better very soon.
