my FENG SHUI for 2011

Do you follow Feng shui?

I started following feng shui because of my relatives, they are pure Filipino but follow Chinese traditions, i dont know why but i guess theres nothing wrong doing it... After all it still you who decides for your life..

Yesterday, my friend and I went to Sta. Cruz, Binondo and Ongpin for the Fengshui... we looked for Bro. Ben in Ying-Yang Charms and Feng Shui store, he was the one who reads my relatives feng shui especially to kuya bing...

If you want to go there, you need to be there earlier because the line gets long, as in really long... We were there at around 8am and theres people already waiting for the Feng shui master..

What to do:

First, you have to pay P200.00 at the cashier, this amount is consumable for the items that you want to buy after the feng shui consultation...

It is advisable to know your KUA number because this is your number for life... There are some calculations you need to do and there's also online calculator for the KUA number.

All the while, i know that i am a Rooster sign because i was born in 1981 but after going to Bro. Ben, i found out that i am a Monkey sign because i was born in January in the Chinese Lunar Calendar...

Compass 

The most important thing you need to have because this will tell you the directions of your lucky signs...

After the Personal Consultation, we were given what to buy to enhance the lucky signs etc. Since its already lunch then, we went to Ying-Ying Restaurant in Binondo for our lunch and then we walk along Ongpin and enter different stores that sells charms in preparation for the new year. Sobrang dami ng tao na namimili ng charms because come Feb. 2, mas maraming tao nun because its Chinese New Year.

What i bought in Ongpin:

Prosperity Basket

I bought this prosperity basket for our table, usually we put rice grains, chinese ancient coins, water, real money inside this and will be put in the table from Dec. 31 up to Chinese New year on Feb. 3...

Chinese Ancient Coins in Brass metal

This is said to be the lucky coin, you will put this in your wallet as a lucky charm...

Blue Mantra Ring

We were in particular store in Ongpin to look for the Auspicious coins but they only have an Auspicious ring. Luckily, theres this two girls who bought this Blue Mantra Ring for them, we ask them what is this for and after our conversation, my friend and I decided to bought one for ourselves. The girl said that she bought her Blue Mantra ring in Dubai for P6,000 (converted in Pesos) and bought another one in Ongpin because it is a lot cheaper here...

Dzi Bracelet

Before, i have this Jade bracelet from Kuya Bing but someone stole it from our room. Sayang nga eh, ganda pa nman nun! Anyway, i bought this bracelet that consists of Nine-Eyed in Citrine bracelet...

Hay... i want to go back to Ongpin and bought lots of enhancers... mejo pricey nga lang.

Happy New year to all and lets all pray for a more fruitful years to come..

Visiting Quaipo Church...

Jan. 11, 2010 (Monday)

Kuya bing called me to join them going to Quiapo.

Since we were young, its been tradition to our family to attend the mass at Quiapo church in celebration of the Black Nazarene but since its too crowded, we planned it after the celebration so our lola can go there without any hassle. We attend the mass and pray as we thank the Lord for all the blessings they showered us.

By 9:00am (we arrived there with my two lolas (lola fe and lola vinyang), my aunt, kuya bing and me. We attend the mass and then fall in line to pray for the black nazarene. I feel so blessed everytime the priest whisk some of the holy water. After the mass, we went to Ongpin, my relatives are so fond of jewelries and feng shui...kaya nahahawa na ako sa knila!

First, we drop by at this Chinese stall which kuya bing recommend to read our 2010 feng shui. Second, we went to Ongpin para lang magpagawa ng bracelet...

this picture i took was from Ongpin....thats kuya bing and tta baby waiting for the Chinese man that will customized their bracelet...

hehe...they didn't know i took some photos..

Feng shui bracelet worn by kuya bing...There's nothing wrong if you believe in fengshui, as long as you dont forget to believe in God. hehe...I myself believe also...why not? Maybe someday i won the lotto or sweepstakes...hehe...the problem is im not putting some money to bet..haha...I still believe in God...

As we wait for them, my two lola and me keep on chatting while eating chestnuts..**yum**

After the Ongpin...we went to Eng Bee Tin... see my next post :)

Divisoria

Yesterday while on my way home (7:45 am), kuya bing called me twice and on the third ring, i managed to answer his call, pinababa ako ng bus at sinasama ako sa divisoria to buy things needed for Lola's birthday, he's with tta ne...ayoko talagang pumunta ng divisoria kasi madaming tao dun pero pinilit nila ako pra may kasama silang dalawa ni Tta Ne, since may dala naman silang car napilitan na din akong sumama.

What we do in divisoria? Another update to Lola's birthday:

1. Kit eto na yung details ng cake na sagot nyo: The price is P 8,300 consists of 2 cakes with 100 pcs cupcakes...i don't know kung san nila pinagawa to..pinapasabi lang ni tta ne sa inyo...

2. Since wala kaming mahanap ng aqua blue polo shirt, we chose the plum or violet color (super nice). we have Abercrombie tag...Grabe nkakainis pala bumili ng marami sa divisoria kasi hindi pala pwedeng in a dozen 1 color lang, it should be assorted colors...inis na inis kame don... so bumili kami ng kung ilan ang pwede sa isang stall and they have different prices kaya yung binili nmen, iisang design and iisang color pero sa iba't-ibang stall nmen binili at ang price iba-iba din, may P250 at ang pinakamahal is P350 (true, mas mura nga compare sa mall) but in fairness, may mgaganda din na damit...napabili nga kami ng shorts dun eh..P 250 each pero ang ganda...

At eto pa ang na-discover nmen dun, grabe ang havaianas at crocs dun pati yun meron dun fake...all styles meron sila...name it and they have it! para tuloy ayoko ng bumili ng havies at crocs.

3. Balloons - we look for the stall na bilihan ng balloons kasi aside from the design of the resto, we hire a balloon maker ba ang tawag sa knila or balloon designer...ah ewan basta yung nagawa or nagdedesign ng balloons... We also bought 2,000 pcs Balloon that costs almost P3,000 para nman mas maganda yung place...

4. About the souvenir, we also look at divisoria ng Swarovski bracelet kasi yun ang sagot nmen ni kuya bing...We also bought pouches para sa lalagyan...Ang mahal din ng Swarovski bracelet dun, pinakamura is P200, simple p lang yun, eh ang kailangan nmen bilin is 75 pcs...Sabi ko nga kay kuya bing iba n lang kasi kung yung P200 each ang bibilin nmen, it will cost us P15,000. OMG!!!

Syempre napagod kami kaya kumain kame sa isang Chinese resto, parang magkaka-high blood kami sa kinain nmen:

Lechon macau, Pork Asado, pancit and fried rice...(yummy!)

And our last itinerary is sa Ongpin (bilihan ng jewelry)...Nagpabili si Kit ng necklace for her dad (sa kanya ba talaga yan or sa bf?). At dahil sa kaartehan nmen napabili din kmeng tatlo ni kuya bing and tta nene....

Kit, sabi ni tta ne, ikaw nman daw ang nagpabili sa Ongpin kaya napabili din kme don kaya ilibre mo na daw smen yung mga nabili nmen...hehe.. Pareho kami ni tta ne ng binili, necklace - mas mahal nga lang yung sken because of the pendant (ang mahal nung pendant), si kuya bing bracelet... eto yung pic nung sken..

my new necklace with bvlgari pendant....is it nice?

Bvlgari pendant (yes! may bvlgari na ko) yan ang nagpamahal sa necklace ko

Bayaran mo yan kit ha...sabi ni Tta ne ang utang mo daw sa kanya is P29,000.00

Details:

Your necklace - P12,000 plus
Cindy's necklace - P 7,550.00
Tta ne's necklace - P 4,800.00
Kuya bing's bracelet - P 4,200.00

Kit, ano babayaran mo? (Yehey!) haha..

Grabe kit, wala pa kong tulog nyan kasi from the office, sinama nila ko sa divisoria, nakauwi kme 7pm na, imagine 24hours na kong gising, si Badz tawag na ng tawag sken...ayun! hindi na ko nkapasok sa office ska sumakit din likod ko dun ska sobrang nkakapagod sa divisoria!

Grabe ha napasama lang ako ng biglaan, napagastos pa ko ng mahal! Ang hirap pa sa Ongpin kasi cash basis sila...

Last, kit for sure mbabasa mo to...wag mo sasabihin kay lola yung binili nmen ha kasi papagalitan na nman kme non sa sobrang gastos and arte...sana wag muna mabasa ni badz to....kundi lagot! hehe
