The plot twist of your life. Like a surprise quiz, a "We need to talk" message, or finding a ₱1000 bill in your old jeans. It's the universe's way of saying, "Akala mo lang 'yun!"
From "hindi" (not) and "inaasahan" (present tense of 'to expect').
ROOT MEANING: hope
Very common phrase used to describe surprises, both good and bad. The single word "di-inaasahan" is also common.
