This short feature is about Aiza, a graduating nursing student who relies on reading horoscopes to know her future. She meets Jane in a sari-sari store and finds out that Jane has the ability to see the future. Aiza then regularly waits for Jane in the sari-sari store to ask her what she needs to do to solve her problems regarding her mother's sickness and their immediate need of money. When she sees an ad on nurses to go abroad, she contemplates on going abroad or staying to take care of her family. Aiza tries asking Jane what to do, but Jane refuses to help her. She now has to decide between depending on Jane or relying on herself. The video revolves around the concept of relying on prophecies and other means of telling the future and aims to prove that the future is never definite, for one always has the power to change it.
