Do you believe in Superstitions? What are your tales and beliefs?
I grew up in a family that superstitions are only a beliefs from old folks during old era , I never heard my parents warn us about it..or maybe we never talked about it...these are some of the few common I heard ;
* If you sweep the dirt out of the doorstep, the good fortune will be swept away.
* Dogs that howl facing your house, someone in your household will die.
* The spouse who goes to sleep first in the wedding day will be the first to die
* It is believed that if a black cat crosses your path is an omen of bad luck.
I'm not sure if the latter is true or it was just a coincidence with what happened to me sometime before. I was asked by my brother to buy medicines for my sick mom that mid afternoon, paglabas ko ng main street may tumawid na pusang kulay brown sa harap ng sasakyan, 'though It's not a big deal for me , there's no harm to knock three times 'right?, but I had this weird feelings na hindi ko maintindihan...I feel like I'm very exhausted, kinakabahang di ko mawari kung bakit, naisip ko baka kulang lang ako sa tulog or because of too much coffee. I pulled up the car to the side of the road and did the inhale exhale breathing exercise.
Then I was about to park in front of a Mercury Drug store another cat crossed my path (I couldn't identify the color but one thing for sure it's not black!) ...wala lang, hindi ko masyadong pinansin.
Dumaan ako sa bahay ng brother ko to hand him the thing I bought and proceed to go back home, that time ang maid ko lang at ang 3 year old son ko ang nasa bahay. Nasa bungad palang ako ng subd natanaw ko na sa rooftop ang maid at ewan ko, iba ang pakiramdam ko habang nakatanaw ako sa kanya. I noticed na nakabukas ang maliit na gate, kinabahan na ako ng todo..naisip ko nasa rooftop siya at nakabukas pati ang main door?
Yes dear readers, "NA-AKYAT BAHAY" po kami , kung paano...hindi ko na ikukuwento. masyadong mahaba. Naisip ko rin, baka kasabwat ang maid ko (two mos pa lang siya sa akin)...sorry pero pinaalis ko siya the following day. "thou shall not bear false witness against other people" pero ayoko ko namang malagay kami sa alanganin at pangamba everytime maisip ko na baka nga. Thankful lang ako , he didn't harm my son.
I learned a lesson from that experience, never hire a maid without knowing her personal background, never underestimate what
you feel...the intuition...and the cat? yes, regardless of any color, and the Superstitions.

Basta yata Pinoy families dami pamahiin, sis! In our family, dami nyan esp. may Chinese blood kami. Bawal sa amin lagi naka-black clothes kasi malas daw. O di ba pati kulay pinagdiskitahan?! hehe
Dun sa akyat-bahay... mahirap magtiwala sa ibang tao talaga. Suwertihan din ang makakuha ng mabait na kasambahay. Ingat na lang lagi :)

superstitions? nope, hndi me maniniwala nyan. lalo na yung mga kasabihan ng mga matatanda...no offense ha, sana walang magalit sa comment ko. prangka lng ako sa self ko. same year nga kami kinasal ng brother ko, ako nung january tapos nung august yung brother ko.
i know that we have different beliefs. ngayong kasi dami ng issued dahil sa mga religions. as what i have learned sa church at sa mom ko, hindi na important kung ano pa yung religion mo. the important is YOU BELIEVE, HAVE FAITH, READ THE BIBLE & MEDITATE.
God bless sa inyo!

marami rin akong naririnig sa superstitions tulad ng kapag sabay sabay daw kayo kumain taos may biglang tatayo, yung maiiwan ay di magkakapag-asawa, kaya siguro single pa ako, haha. pero di naman ako naniniwala doon.
sorry to hear na naakyat bahay kayo, sana mapalitan kaagad yung mga nawala sa inyo. kaya dapat talaga kapag kukuha ng kasambahay alam mo talaga kung ano background, sa panahon ngayon hirap ipagkatiwala ang bahay. di man siya ang may kinalaman baka di masyadong nabantayan house nyo.
what a coincidence!...
ayokong maniwala sa mga superstitions pero minsan nadadala parin ako ng isip ko...yan ngang pusang yan pag nakakita ako kinakabahan din ako kaya walang katapusang prayer ang ginagawa ko pag nakakita ako...
ipagpasalamat na lang natin na walang masamang nangyari sa kid mo ate...naniniwala din ako na maraming blessings ang darating sayo...

tama sila.. intuition mo un....
noong bata pa ako naniniwala ko sa superstitions pero sa ngayon kunti na lang hehehe...
grabe talga ung nangyari sa inyo ah.. dapat talaga kilala mo ung kasambahay mo.. di lang kukuha sa kung saan saang agency... wheew.. mabuti na lang di sinaktan ung baby mo..
ingat na lang lagi..

hello again!! we watched click last night and it is a real good movie. lotsa laughs and even some teary moments.
we ended up just buying the dvd since we really dont have the time to watch movies in the theatre just because we have the kids. kawawa naman if we were to go out and leave them behind, diba? so we just rent dvds or buy them so we can all watch it.
take cares nona and have a great week! ingatz!!!
intuition nga..
curious ako sa detail ng nangyari,pero di ko na itatanong..
mahirap talagang makakuha ng matinong maid anoh?nakailang palit na rin sila sa bahay,now finally,di na lng sila kumuha dahil wala nmnng masyadong trabaho na..
pag may occassion na lng..
may bago na shang kapalit?
