I do remember that 2 years ago, I did a ritual based from what I read from a newspaper. It was new year then and I was on the ebb of depression. As instructed, I lighted a candle, a red one, and I was asked to write in a blank white paper the things I wish or aspire for, and I have to use a red ink pen. I wrote the following, a house, either by the beach or somewhere beautiful, a career, a lover, and financial security. After writing the wishes, I folded the paper and blew the candle. I was instructed to bury the paper in a very deep crevice, fortunately, there was some diggings going on by the railroad tracks which was adjacent to my old place. It was full moon that night and I went out to bury my wishes. After 2 years, I still don’t have a horse, a career I have is neither here nor there, I live in a beautiful house now but somehow, my finances are not secure the way I wished for.
Then Chinese New Year came, me and my friend read that we need to give each other crystals such as hematite, quartz, both clear and rose, and other semi-precious stones, So I went to a crystal store to buy us two set of crystals and pretended that we “exchange” them as gifts. We were told that we should always take it out during full moons and let them “moon bathe” to absorb the moonshine. This has been going on for my part for the past 2 years, my friend lost her crystals already and she has also left for Miami to marry her fiancée, a guy he used to date for a week when she was barely out of high school and despite a 7 years of no communication, the guy just sent her a message on Friendster out of nowhere. Now she is a blushing bride and a greencard holder at that. Me? I just lost my crystals on my way to Our Lady Of Manaoag recently and I don’t know what will happen to me.
Three weeks ago, 2 friends came over to my place and decided to ransack it. I mean they decided to hostage me into cleaning the place. After 4 hours, when everybody was asleep, we were like mad people throwing stuff in the garbage chute. We started at 3 am and they decided to sleep at 6 am while I didn’t catch a wink and finished cleaning the place. Everyone who has been to my place before the cleaning madness and who saw it after was really amazed with the “transformation”, it was like the Fab 5 of the “Queer Eye” fame came to give me a “makeover” and my place could already be a science project.
Last week, I started reading again my Feng Shui book, and I have been doing a lot of fixing the “chi” of the place. It was like finding my groove again, moving things around, and throwing stuff that attract “bad vibes”. I am even polishing my floor with water with jasmine oil to attract financial prosperity.
I am hoping to reverse all the bad planning or decision I have done the past year, and now that we are basically 33 days away from 2007, I can’t hardly wait to hear what the “Year Of The Pig” holds for me, I was born under the sign of the Ox, and this year, which is a “dog”, and the year before that was a “rooster”, we are all farm animals, I just hope that the year of the pig forbade prosperity. Of course, collecting 12 round fruits for New Year’s eve and hanging of round objects or wearing polka dots or red color on the 1st day of the new year might do the trick.
And you thought only Kris Aquino and her Joy Lim bracelets could think about this stuff. We are all like her, doing our Chinese astrology, going to our novenas in Baclaran or Manaoag, and believing in luck, a potent combination given that we are Catholics at that. If Kris got her basketball player and her numerous endorsements, maybe it might work for me.
