Mahirap na sabihin na I only believe in God, maybe the right term is I only worship God, the Father Almighty.
But I don't fully shun other advices around me. Ika nga nila, walang masama kung susubukan. Nasa sa iyo naman kung susundin mo o hindi.
Our minds are greater than the lining of stars and planets, our thinking can affect our surrounding more than we think we could. That is Noetic Science (See Brown's The Last Symbol and Google it. It is actually an amazing research)
Anyway, the first kind of "hula" I've had was from a grade school classmate. I know it was bullsh*t but it still made me nervous. According to her "findings" I couldn't travel out of the country because of a certain line on my palm. But she was wrong. But that thought kind of hunted me, not because of the death part but I'm a freaking traveler and if your one of my dreams will not come true, it will freak me out. Good thing I was able to.
Second one, took me a more than a decade. It was with a Feng Shui master, Joseph- I forgot- okay lemme google him. One thing I know is he is the one at the Mandarin Oriental and he supposedly "saw" that Erap would be impeached. And he is a really great necromancer of Asia. He even shared that he does an annual rearrangment and redecoration of his home back in HK. Anyway, lemme google first.
There. Found his name. It's Joseph Chau of the Mandarin Oriental Feng Shui Shop.
I was with my Mom, sister, my Aunt and her husband. I even skipped classes just to join them.
Long story short, he told me that I have a better career at a government office (which made me smile because I never told him my course during that time). That I can be very lucky since I possess almost all types/kinds of a Rabbit. I couldn't remember if those were fire, earth, metal (due to my birth year, birth month and time of birth).But I had to be really careful cause I might end up getting pregnant at an early age. And I was thinking "Yeah right? I would like to have a boyfriend first, Please!"
I'm not saying I didn't believe in his readings but it was mixed feelings of awe and doubt.
Years after I realized that my Mom is right. After he gave us a reading, he asked us to step out of the room so he can read for my Aunt and Uncle. My mom told me a really great story about her childhood.
According to her, she and her brothers love to play with Salagubang or a giant beetle. Tying it's leg with a string would be a childhood pastime of our's as well. One day, her brothers came home with a bountiful catch of Salagubangs as temporary pets (because let's face it they start dying once children starts to catch them). She was asking them to give her some but they all were too greedy to spare her one. She went home crying and found herself praying and wishing she had some Salagubangs as well. After a few tears she decided to go out again and play.
And lo and behold, the tree just outside their house was then filled with lots of Salagubangs buzzing and flying around.
My second encounter with this kind was actually just by tuning on the radio. One night I decided to stay up really late and enjoy a new found hobby. Listening to Magic 89.9 and Mellow/ Mellownights 94.7.
Maybe it was fate, I dunno. But during that time, DJ Pat of Daybreak had a special guest with a codename of Ms. TCR. Or short for Ms. Tarot Card Reader (It's pronounced /Taro/) I enjoyed the nonstop calls and crazy love questions that came in. And to be from Cavite, it would cost me to call a Manila line. So I decided to send a text message. My question wasn't picked, maybe because 95% of the callers and texters had asked the same kind of thing- love life.
I wasn't really disappointed and saw it as a sign that I shouldn't bother with such things. After a few weeks, I decided to tune in again. One great reason though was that I have a crush on the DJ, not because of his looks but because of the way he thinks and express his self. He reminded me of a long time and long term crush of mine back in grade school that lasted up to high school (And yes, he still gives me the goosebumps when we talk about him or sees him around). Going back, I didn't expect that Ms. TCR would be back at his show. I tried sending a text again, and strike two- It wasn't read on-air. Fine, I thought. I enjoyed listening pa rin naman.
Third time, I was really bored and decided to wait up until 2am to listen to Pat. I was addicted to him and didn't even expected Ms. TCR again. What was crazier was that it was also her 3rd time on-air. I knew it meant something. So I sent a text message saying that everytime I decide to tune-in and wait up for Pat, she'd be a guest. For 3 consecutive times, I would always catch her as the guest. Attached was my question. I asked something about who I will end up marrying or spending the rest of my life with. (Since a question answerable by a yes or no isn't allowed- cause you have to pull the cards yourself for that kind) After laying the cards (with JR Jocks around) she gave an answer: I have known the guy for a long time already. I just kept on resisting and turning him down, but in the end he will really be the one.
Of course I panicked, there aren't that many men in my life. So who could it be? And I swear up to now, I have no idea. So I shrugged it off.
3rd encounter was with Ms. TCR again, this time I asked about my career and what will happen if I decide to apply for a job at government office. She gave me this answer: You'll get a job BUT you wouldn't like it. You wouldn't like the way they run things. But if you still pursue it, you'd meet someone. So it's up to you.
So the cards still had to insert a love scenario, Whatever! I'm still more concerned about my career. Whoever he is, can wait.
Actually come to think of it, I did have an encounter with someone who can see beyond what the eye shows. My highschool classmate's dad was a clairvoyant. He's a Lebanese who married a Filipina and decided to stay in Manila.
We we're just out for Kwek kwek, apparently our school won't allow us to go out of school grounds with supervision from the school bus or parents. So we decided to ride their car and buy some Kwek Kwek and back to school again.
We we're all sitting at the back when he suddenly spoke, "Someone has her red day today?"
During that time, I wasn't paying that much attention. Then my close friend laughed and admitted she has her period. His daughter, my classmate, then mentioned that his dad can see. We were all intrigued then, a lot of them asked questions except for me. I enjoyed listening to them when he suddenly spoke again, "Your dad has a gun right?" I wasn't expecting that he was referring to me, he then pointed at me and made eye contact at the rear view mirror. "Me?" I Asked. "Yes, is he a policeman?" Mr. M asked again. "Oh, yeah he does. But it's just for protection." I replied.
They even talked about how he was able to solve his bestfriend's brother's case. His bestfriend's brother has been missing for quite sometime and couldn't be found even by the Lebanese policemen. One night, Mr. M dreamed about the brother's body floating on a body of water. He told his bestfriend about his dream the very next day and they told the police. The body was found floating on a lake, bloated.
My encounter with Mr. M didn't stop there. My ate was telling me a story about a foreign manghuhula and that he was really good. I told her a story about my classmate's dad as well. Turned out we were talking about the same person. And she understood why Mr. M told her that she looked familiar during the first meeting.
My ate's friends still consult him. And he appears to be consistent and true. I was about to consult him around December when our friend seek his help. After hours of listening and chatting with him (6 hours, that's why he told us he doesn't want to have appointments with people he knows because he ends up telling stories instead of reading for them :P) I decided to pass. Because I was hungry and decided I really don't need to have my future or past read before me because we can do it ourselves. We just need to be open minded and accept things.
Love, hatred, agony and revenge just blur our sight. We just have to learn to accept what is in front of us instead of turning our heads to look for answers.
Even the lesson of my Mom's story about the Salagubang is simple and short. We can listen to advices and stuff but in the end, we take matters and our fate in our own hands. Decision making is all up to us.
Wag mo lang isalalay ang lahat sa sabi sabi ng ibang tao, because in the end we decide on what will happen to our fate.
(I'm sleepy so I'm sorry for the error in grammar -_-zZzZZzZZZZzzzzz)
