it is really one of mankind's worst enemies...
BOREDOM, i mean.
i just hate the feeling of boredom...
you know, nothing to do... nothing to read... nothing...
that's the feeling when you just want to lie down and let your soft bed swallow you...
haha...
i'm in front of my dear computer again..
i'm just really thankful that my eyes are tough enough to withstand the glare of the monitor...
shux..
hmm... i'm a person who likes adventure,,
a person who craves for adventure and other risky stuffs...
i mean, live your life!
enjoy the risks of life once in a while...
i want to cut class ever since..
i want to experience the thrill of cutting classes...
woohoo!
nagawa ko na naman yun dati pero pangit e...
kasi, i cut classes just to make my report for the next subject...
wala din.
nagcutting na nga lang, academics pdn ung reason..
i want my first real "cutting classes" experience to be MAJOR.
as in, i want to cut classes during a major subject... or a major something...
like, er, a chapter test??
hehe...
but the fact remains, swinging leisurely in front of every cmshs students... withe a wide grin on its face...
the fact remains that, even if we cut classes, there is nothing cool or remotely exciting that we can do.
i mean, as if naman ang laki ng school dba?
wala din e.
saan ka naman pupunta pag nagcutting ka? sa CR? asus...
buti sana kung may foodcourt sa loob ng school...
o kaya kahit arcade na lang..
o kaya kahit library na matino.. ung may mga books naman...
dba?
wala eh.
hehehe....
sinadya ba yun para wlang magcutting? heehee...
effin' dear!
hoohoo... mga expressions ko weird tlga ever...
super tagalog minsan like "nagulantang naman ako.."
minsan nman mga chuvaness like "chuchu stuff"
minsan ganyan mga "effin' dear!" at "oh freaking whatever"
weird nga ako.. oo na tanggap ko yun.
kaysa naman sabihan kang "ang common mo!" or "ang ordinary mo!"
mas feel ko namang sabihan ako ng "ang weird mo..."
at least, i don't act like everyone else..
hehehe...
i am soooooo into tarot cards at ths current moment...
as in SOOOOO INTO IT.
78 tarot cards, all in all....
cute...
nasabi naman sa da vinci code yung about sa tarot cards right? yung pentacles, cups, staves, at swords...
yan yung bumubuo sa minor arcana or "lesser secrets"...
hndi yan yung feel ko sa tarot deck e...
ang favorite ko ay ung major arcana or "greater secrets"....
so...
the major arcana consists of 21 cards without a suit plus a 22nd card known as The Fool and numbered as zero...
here... list of the 21 major arcana... or known as the TRUMP CARDS...
yung mga description, basic lang. kasi if not, it will surely crash with catholicism..
[ever heard of the phrase "last trump card"? ayan, dito nanggaling yun.]
THE FOOL/ THE JESTER
[+] shown as a young man standing on the edge of a precipice
[+] a spirit in search of experience

[+] remember that zero plus anything equals the same thing and anything multiplied to zero equals zero... The Fool is numbered as ZERO to show that it can be anything once it reaches its destination...
[+] in the tarot story, The Fool is known to be the protagonist and the 21 major arcana are the human archetypes... tarot story is also known as "The Fool's Journey"...

[+] if the card is upside down, you will be in for a chaotic situation but it will end well
THE STAR
[+] shown as a naked woman kneeling by the water, one foot in the water, one foot on the land. above her head is a big star. she is holding two jars. she is pouring the contents of one jar on the water and the other jar on the land. the water symbolizes the subconscious and the land symbolizes the material world. she is renewing both of them.
[+] The Star from Learning the Tarot: A Tarot Book for Beginners - Joan Bunning Says: "People have always looked to the stars as a source of inspiration and hope. There is something about their twinkling light that draws us out of ourselves and up into a higher plane. When we turn our eyes heavenward, we no longer feel the distress of earth. The Star reminds me of the clear, high voice of a soprano. There is something otherworldly about it. All the harshness and density of everyday life has been refined away leaving only the purest essence. After being exposed to the Star, we feel uplifted and blessed.
In readings, the Star is most welcome when grief and despair have overwhelmed us. In our darkest moments, we need to know that there is hope, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The Star is the opposite of the Devil who strips us of our faith in the future. Card 17 holds out the promise that we can eventually find peace of mind. The Star also reminds us to open our heart and release our fears and doubt. If you have been holding back in any way, now is the time to give generously.
It is important to remember that the Star is inspiring, but it is not a card of practical solutions or final answers. Truly without hope we can accomplish nothing, but hope is only a beginning. When you see Card 17, know that you are on the right track. Your goals and your aspirations are blessed, but to realize them, you must take positive action. Use the light of the Star to guide you in your efforts."
in short.... THIS CARD REPRESENTS HOPE. sus....
THE MOON
[+] a scowling moon with 16 primary rays and 16 secondary rays shedding 15 drops of something. two pillars at each side and two animals (a dog and a wolf) barking at the moon.
[+] represents tension, doubt, lack of clarity, fear, confusion.....
THE SUN
[+] shows a child riding a white horse. the child is holding a red flag. there is a great sun on the background.
[+] represents optimism, accomplishment, brilliance, power, splendor... (basta maganda yung meaning nung card)
JUDGMENT
[+] shown as a guardian spirit playing a trumpet from whch hangs a white flag with red cross. a group of humans coming out from graves surround him. their arms are raised.
[+] represents rebirth, forgiveness... all those stuff related to salvation.
THE WORLD
[+] shown as a naked woman dancing above the world while holding a staff in each hand. she is surrounded by a green wreath and various creatures watch her.
[+] represents completeness. (this is a very good card, indeed) it indicates that you are near your heart's desire... (mirror of erised???)
