Predictions

In college, for kicks, I would look at a classmate, point a finger at her and omniously tell her: “You will be called to recite in class today”. and sure enough, she’d get called. I don’t claim to be a psychic. It’s just that I know that the professor knows her  dad and he always calls on her for recitation.  But my classmate would always get paranoid and would ask me before class if she would be called to recite. When I’m not in the mood, I’d tell her “no” and sure enough, she wouldn’t be called. Sometimes, when I said she won’t be called but she was, she’d look at me accusingly and ask why. I’d say “Oh my powere are off today. hehe”. I have to say those happened rarely. Generally, I had a pretty decent level of accuracy.

During the same school year, we had a professor who, when I say she wouldn’t attend classes, wouldn’t really attend class. Even though her car is in the parking lot. And she is already in the faculty room. And I have won several bets from my classmates on that  (they got wise later and refuse to bet on it).  My secret? I knew that when it’s raining, the professor would be too lazy to come to class. Baka dumami pa eh
