tarot readings and more

Today was the second to the last day of the University Week Bazaar in DLSU Manila. Our organization, Liga Historia, consigned an accessories maker to showcase her products during the bazaar. So far we've earned quite a lot of money already but nothing had prepared us for this day. One of my friends, Kim (also a history major), decided to read tarot cards for people for only 10 bucks. Naturally, Mardane, Chelle and I signed up for it. While waiting for my turn, I went up to the History department and asked around about their masteral program. Turns out that if I wanted to pursue higher education, it would have to wait till the 2nd term of SY 07-08 because of all the requirements needed.

Back at the booth, I found myself sitting on a banig, waiting for Kim to read out my life for me. She asked me to pick one card out of the deck. I did, and i got The Fool. Turns out that it means that the card that i just picked depicts my personality. The Fool, as she explained, doesn't mean foolhardy or crazy at all. She said that, based on the card, I am nice to everybody (which is true), that I'm full of energy (which is also true), and that I'm very childlike (true true true). She also said that I tend to trust other people easily and treat everyone as if they were my close friends, something that could go bad in the long run. She laid more cards on the banig and after a few minutes, she told me that she had unraveled my life before her. She said that I'm quite hard-headed and stubborn, which can sometimes turn my child-like attitude into that of being childish. The Queen of Swords was also present, depicting that I have a quarrel or a long-standing dispute in the future with someone who has a very strong and controlling personality. According to my cards, my past was really good, as the Pleasure card popped out. She somehow saw that my family and friends were the ones who were going to catch me everytime that I fall, something that I have proven to be true a hundred of times.

After a few more minutes, Kim said something that really got my attention. The Star card was present in my deck, signifying a new inspiration in my life. She said that it was coming soon in the form of a new friend or more. That somehow lit one of the proverbial candles in me. For the past weeks I have been struggling, coping even, with life. I'm slowly recovering and soon I'll be myself once again with the help of my family and friends. When I heard this piece of news, I was altogether happy and frightened. Happy because I would get again a new inspiration in my life; frightened because it would be a new chapter in my life.

I think I have found him. My Star. My inspiration. I see him everyday when I have classes and every smile and hello that I get would immediately brighten up my day. I'm still treading slowly, trying to gauge everything. I don't want to make hasty decisions.

Every night I look up at the stars, trying to count them. Now when I look up, I know somewhere he's also under that same sky.

My falling star. I'm looking for you.

Someday you'll be mine.
