Once Upon A TYPE…

june 24 na naman and this date is one of the most awaited in cavite city as we cavitenos celebrate regada or water festival in honor of st. john the baptist! so ano nga ba ang ginagawa kapag regada? syempre nagbabasaan!!!

as early as 7am, people gets wet! sa bawat kanto merong mga tambay na me hawak na tabo na me lamang tubig at kung sinuswerte sabon at shampoo pa, para paliguan ka. yun iba naman, hinahaluan ng dye ang tubig para pagbuhos nila sayo meron na agad instant design ang shirt mo! pag mejo pasikat naman ang mga nagreregada, inde tubig ang gamit nila - instead perfume!!! sosyal di ba actually,me kanya kanyang gimik ang mga tao, so it’s really fun when you’re strolling around with your friends.

it’s saddening nga lang that this year im not able to attend kasi im far working, but, if i have a chance uuwi ako kasi ang saya nun. just like last year…i will not elaborate more pero uber sa excitement ang nangyari nung nagregada kami nila pong.

anyway, i hope everybody in cavite’s enjoying the festival today, and i do hope by next year kasama na kami ulet at by this time nalakad na si aiken

miss this guy beside me

i need a very good massage asap..actually a foot massage will do! i’ve been so tired and stressed, even i am not working for the whole week. the extra weight i gained made walking hard for me and that’s the reason why i can’t stand to stay out for a long time - i just get tired easily!

tired. stressed. fat. moody. sigh! i just need something to boost my energy again!

i haven’t blogged for some days, not because i am busy but because i am lazy! my maternity leave started last monday…this means i have plenty of time for everything. however, it’s the other way around…instead of goofing somewhere with the kids, i prefer to be at home and teach them, which i think is better, for i can bond with them longer. i bought more books so i can concentrate on their lessons, thus, school will begin in september, which is a bit long, so it’s really good if i can prepare them since they will start they schooling in a different environment. so far, they’re doing good! they’re enjoying the lesson i am giving them, which makes me inspired to do more for them

aside from giving lessons to the kids, i also sorted all the stuffs at home. been to market to replenish the fridge, cleaned the house and fixed my husband’s clothes (just preparing everything since i’m due next month) and having moments with myself. it’s important that i make myself look nice and feel nice, to make me sane or else, i’ll just be stressed!

so, it’s friday again…papa arrived from hcmc and he’ll be back there by tomorrow-this time with mama. yes! mama will be in vietnam and it’s pretty sad that she’ll not be around for some time she’s been here for almost a month now and we will definitely miss her when she leave.

i’m quite tired and now ready to hit the sack…i will write something nice tomorrow…adios for the meantime

Thanks for giving me joys and smiles
Thanks for sharing my trouble’s pile

Thanks for wiping the tears of my eye
Thanks for showing me the glad view of sky

Thanks for lending me your shoulders to lean
Thanks for giving my words a proper mean

Thanks for telling me the value of life
Thanks for showing me the rules to survive

Thanks for lending me the sympathetic ears
Thanks for showing how much you care

From all this what I mean in the end
Is thanks for being my special one.

So it’s Friday again, last day of work! Also, I have filed my maternity leave this morning and arranged all the things needed just before taking my vacation. So, I’m pretty excited to spend my time at home, doing nothing, hehe! It’s just last night that nestle reminded me of the date that it’s going to be Friday the 13th today… so I thought, writing something about it is interesting. The fear of Friday the 13^th is a popular superstition. Examples of the taboos for both Friday and the number 13 are numerous.

Friday and Superstition

Friday’s ill-fated superstitious connotations are believed to result from the idea that it was the day of the week on which Eve tempted Adam and Christ was crucified.

Among the activities that are taboo on a Friday: setting sail on a ship; moving house; beginning any new work; writing a letter; knitting; starting a journey; and cutting your nails. In both England and America the custom to hang criminals on a Friday earned it the reputation of Hangman’s day.

One activity offers some promise on a Friday - sleeping. The thought is, if you repeat the dream you had during the night to a family member on Friday morning, the dream will come true.

Not everywhere does Friday have this dubious distinction. Friday is the Sabbath of the Jewish lunar calendar and the Sabbath of Islam. Scandinavian Pagans, Hindus, rural Scots, and Germans consider Friday a fertile day, favourable for a marriage or courting. Their more favorable view of Friday is a result of the history of Friday.

I am not a superstitious person, yenoe! and numbers don’t really matter to me. However, I have my fave number though - which is #9 that stands for my birthday. Each person is unique, they have their own beliefs and we cannot interfere with their stands. So, whether 13 is a really cursed number and Friday is really unlucky, it is up to you to deal with…I wonder if Chinese still believes that 8 is still lucky after all the tragedies happened to them.

Anyway, here’s a webby that I found about Friday the 13th, it’s nice to read, believe me
