25 Pesos
Valentine's Day
This has been my 26th year celebrating Valentine's Day. Maybe an ordinary day for me. I was not really expecting anything but I'm happy. Swear! No bitterness. What happen this day? There was this sort of mini-event at the office wherein we were given Valentine cards, write a love note or thank you note to someone we really appreciate. It doesn't matter if it's a friend or someone special. By the way, it was my idea to have this card-giving cause I was the office POC for events. Hindi ko napaghandaan toh. I just printed out Valentine cards taken from MS-Word graphics. Parang post-Valentine celebration na din kasi February 15 na. In the end, it was successful. Everyone participated. Ever since, I am a big fan of handwritten letters. Mas na-a-appreciate mo if you saw na nag-effort yung tao na sulatan ka. May originality. This day, I received a lot of Valentine cards. From my colleagues and team. Syempre I can't explain the feeling cause it's been a long time when I received a letter from someone. Usually ako talaga ang nagsusulat, This day, it was different. Though may sinulatan din ako. Syempre pag Valentine's Day, you're wishing that you receive something from someone you like. Pero naka-set na yung mind ko na I will not expect anything from anyone. Ang weird di ba? Last year, I celebrated Valentine's Day watching "The Vow" with Toretz. Today, I celebrated it at the office with my team and friends. Just the usual one, though my twist ng konti pero I'm satisfied. I'd like to thank the people who made an effort to write me a letter. Kay Mark Perez na super hindi ko in-expect, kasi naman ang haba nyang mag-AHT parati at sometimes he got loads of complain. Peace! Kay Trixia Villanueva whose always the first person to ask for her break schedule after I log in to Source. Kay Yumo na hindi pa talaga nilagyan ng pangalan yung letter at pauwi na ng nalaman ko na galing pala sa kanya yun. Kay Anna Sebetero, Michelle Ramos at Alpha Aurel, my new team. It was so cool receiving letters from you guys. Alam ko were just starting and we'll have a long journey pa as a team. Kay Jovel na super bait, thank you friend! And lastly, to Poy Soriano. He was always there for me and receiving this card means a lot. You're one of the person I trusted so much, sabi ko nga "my sumbungan" and my bestfriend. Thanks Poy. The feeling is unexplainable after receiving those letters. I also wrote three letters for this day. I wrote one for Sup Demi, Boss Corey and Poy. This day had been so special because I know there are people who cares for me. :) (I'll upload the letters once my BB cam is okay..)

Tarot Card Reading Part 2
Na-curious ulit ako I tried checking out this website. I was thinking if may nagbago ba sa hula sken. Well, let's see...may cards pa din na nag-show up the last I checked it. Hmm...
Full Meaning: Key Words for the Priestess Tarot Card Meanings
* Knowing
* Psychic
* Oracle
* Secretive
* Influential
Take a good look at the High Priestess card and you will receive a great deal of messages she conveys. Foremost, she conveys a message of understanding. Even her posture indicates she is established in a position of knowledge. Her scroll holds esoteric knowledge. She determines the manner in which the knowledge should be expressed, and only she decides to whom, and how much knowledge is extolled.
Much like the Magician, the High Priestess is unquestioning of her knowledge and power. There is no question of source or validity - her knowledge simply "is." She is aware of the motions of nature, the movement of spiritual matters, and she has accute awareness of the stirrings of the mind. She is vitally tapped into the flow of ancient knowledge. She instinctively understands the innerworkings and connections between nature, philosophy, science and religion.
When we pull the High Priestess card for ourselves or for a querent, it is an indication that we are in communication with the unseen forces. We must realize these unseen forces are greater than ourselves, and our ability to access this energy is a great responsibility. We must understand that we are all psychic, just as the Priestess. However, only those who respect the gift of psychic awareness and utilize the gifts and the knowledge beneficially that acquire the noble presence and demeanor of the Priestess.
As you may have guessed, the Priestess Tarot card meanings are not straight-forward. As she is somewhat of a mystery herself, she requires all those who come to her to be worthy of her meaning, and earn the honor of understanding her. Trust that when you pull the High Priestess card there are undercurrents working within you that will blossom into intense and beautiful experiences. All that is requested of you to experience this blossoming is an awareness of and respect for the higher forces at work in the universe and within you.
Key Symbols Relative to the Priestess Tarot Card Meanings:
This section focuses in on a few select symbols that can help us further define the Priestess Tarot card meanings.
Cross: The ancient Greeks created this symbol with all legs of equal length and size. One of the simplest symbols, and used since ancient times, it represents several things to different cultures. In ancient Greece it is an emblem of the four elements. In the ancient Middle East, the symbol represents the four directions (north, south, east, west) and the four winds. Even the ancient Aztecs used this symbol to represent the meeting place of god (at the cross-section). The High Priestess bares this symbol at her heart - meaning that at the heart of her very being she is intimate with the ways of nature, knowledge, and God. The unfolding mystery of life is the core of her knowledge.
Moon: The moon lays at her feet - her foundation is the fluxtuating night emblem that symbolizes motion, illumination, fertility, and even lunacy. Many decks even depict the moon illustrated upon the Priestess forehead. At her head and at her feet are the attributes of the moon - her thoughts are illuminated by the secret power of the moon, and her her path is guided by the pull of the moon. The moon is all about intuition, psychic force, unseen energy. When we have hunches, ideas, or impressions that "come from nowhere" this is "moon power" at work. The moon lives in the darkest of places so she must be triple clear in her messages through the night. The moon brings of clarity of mind, heart and spirit - but there is a price if we are not careful. Being too swayed by the power of the moon can lead to erratic behavior or even pyschotic episodes. This is why the High Priestess is such a strong figure - because she not only heeds the message of the moon - she also harnesses its power.
Scroll: Everybody wants to know what is written in the scroll the High Priestess craddles closely to her womb, but only she knows, and it's not likely that she'll give up the information. The fact is the scroll contains information that she protects. It contains knowedge of esoteric, occult, philosphical revelations that if placed in the hands of one who has no understanding or respect for what he/she is holding - tremendous damage would be done. This is why she holds it so close to her - she knows that knowledge is both a killer and a savior. There are some theories that the scroll is the Akashic records which contain the records of all-that-has-ever-been for every soul in existence. Whatever the actual contents, be sure that the Priestess is forever on guard - keeping the secrets in tact until our minds are ripe for the opportunity to receive the knowledge she commands.
Further Note on the Priestess Tarot Card Meanings: Many deck renditions depict two columns at either side of the High Priestess. On her right is a black column with the letter "B" imprinted on it. On her left a white column with the letter "J" imprinted. These represent the pillars that stand at entrance of Solomon's temple in Jerusalem. The words are Hebrew: Boaz means "in strength" and Jachin means "he establishes." These pillars are symbolic of the balance and reverence of higher power the High Priestess represents.

"Nothing happens until something moves." This simple yet profound observation made by Einstein set the stage for Two of Wands in which a creative idea was born.
The Three of Wands represents the watcher of these creative ideas we've started in our lives. From high vantage points, and with unlimited stores of resources, knowledge and time we observe the unfolding of our creative desires.
The Three of Rods reminds us that we are infinite in our creative resources. We are in constant motion and the momentum of our manifestations is staggering. This card indicates our powerful nature, and suggests we allow our desires to tumble into our laps like ripe fruit: sweet and satisfying.
No action is needed here. Rather, the movement of which Einstein speaks is the acknowledgment that time (in all its phases) is on our side and our only action is to recognize our presence as the divine overseer of our experience.
We are ambassadors of our own dreams - the Three of Wands reminds us of our nobility in this respect, and indicates all we need do is allow the royal red carpet of our manifestations to unfurl itself right at our feet.
In a reading, this card says: "watch with awareness and with expectation of your highest good."
A few symbol meanings for the Three of Wands:
Mountains: Seen on many of the cards, mountain symbol meanings deal with triumph, challenge, attainment, and realization. Mountains also represent timelessness and an endurance that is infinite. When those mountains peak out of the cards into our attention, we may consider the vastness of our universe, and contemplate our place within it. We may also want to consider the heights to which we are climbing, and what the realization of our goals may mean for us and those around us.
Ship: Yes, of course ship symbol meanings deal with travel and journey's. However a commonly overlooked factor is the medium upon which they said - water - it deals with the deeper levels of the psyche and the subconscious. When Ships sail across your vision in a reading, take into consideration where your thoughts (psyche) are traveling - what kind of baggage (cargo) are you carrying around, and are you charting (navigating) out the best course for your thoughts and emotions?

Situation As It Is
Three of Wands
Briefly: The seeker of knowledge and truth. He searches until he finds what he is looking for.
Full Meaning: This card depicts a man with his back to us though revealing part of his face as he looks out over the hillside. He holds a wand in his hand which has three leaves sprouting from it signifying growth and abundance. In front of him is another wand and behind him the third wand. He is contemplating his future and possibly the journey ahead of him. In the distance are mountains with high peaks. It appears to be an almost barren environment, warm and dry. However he has with him the symbols of growth and can plant wherever he sees fit. He wants to settle down, but must first wander and roam until he finds his true home. This card too is the seeker of knowledge and truth. He searches until he finds what he is looking for.

Tarot Card Reading
I don't really believe in fortune telling and even horoscopes. But this past few days, I tried it and the cards always says the same thing. That I'll have good opportunities abroad or I'll be attached to someone very soon. Wait, on the second and third tarot reading, same card appeared: The High Priestess. What does it mean? And what's intriguing is the line there "The initials B and J may be, or prove to be important in your life. I'll try it after a week and see if there'll be any changes. "Wow!:)

Take the initiative and move into new territory, for the old has little to offer, whereas the new is fresh and inspiring to you.
If there is a proposition is put to you in the near future it would be potentially prosperous and the likelihood of producing all the things your life needs.

Briefly:
Time to go where angels fear to tread and live.

He looks romantic and adventurous and daring to go out there and conquer the world and meet his destiny, wherever that may be and with whoever he is yet to meet. He is warm and sensitive and challenged by the adventure of life itself. He knows no fears for he is too young yet to know what that means. He is daring and forthright and persistent to get his needs met. He likes to travel far and wide and will not be restrained by what others want him to do. His life is his own and he knows that he alone owns it. He cannot tolerate lies, deception or unwholesomeness. He welcomes change and will go off on a tangent and leave town on a whim. He knows no boundaries of mind or soul. He has gained some skills in life and has a feather in his cap, so to speak. He will go where angels fear to tread and live the simple life if at all possible. He is poetic and also loves life and learning new skills.

The Sun
Briefly: There is also the possibility, for those who desire a child, that a pregnancy is imminent. Any new business venture also has the signs of success written on it, so proceed with confidence that all will be well.Full Meaning: This card depicts the Sun and in the front of this is a child on a horse - note the same red feather that appears on the fools hat. The childs arms are open and a brilliant red flag waves in the air. There are sunflowers on the card, some greenery and a wall in the background.
This card is generally a big "YES!" card, confirmation that what you seek is on its way.
Often this card symbolises Summer or is associated with the sign of Leo. Perhaps an important event will occur around your own Summer month or during the one month time span of Leo which is from July 23 up to August 22. For some this can mean a very special relationship on the horizon, and one that may very well lead to marriage, this will be a successful union and bring much happiness into both people's lives. There is also the possibility, for those who desire a child, that a pregnancy is imminent.

You could be considering doing some type of studies when you draw this card. Other than that, a teacher, possibly female, may come into your life and have an enormous impact on you. She could teach you valuable lessons that you need to learn.
Should you be considering becoming a teacher yourself, this would be a good indicator that you are on the right track and will achieve success in your chosen field.
Mystical studies may also appeal to you at this time, and you could take up the study of subjects such as astrology, tarot or other esoteric knowledge.
New Situation that Will Evolve
Nine of Pentacles
Briefly: You are coming into a position of prominence.Full Meaning: The picture on this card shows a very attractive, if not beautiful, looking woman who is dressed in lovely threads and wears a string of pentacles hanging around her lovely neck. She wears a detailed head dress over her hair, and she has a turquoise attached to the front of this with a spray of plumes coming out of the top. She has a beautiful ruby and diamond ring on her right hand and on her left hand she wears a leather glove. Sitting on this hand is a rather exotic looking bird, which is obviously a pet of hers. She looks serene, content and happy. Her eyes are dark and hypnotic, her lips are full and inviting. She wears lovely pearl earrings and her whole presence is one of luxury and adornment. She is surrounded by foliage and grapes. If you are this woman you are coming into a position of prominence. If you are a woman and this is not you, it could be a new friend on your horizon, one who will stand by you in times of need. If you are a male, this woman could become a pivotal figure in your future and may even end up being your wife.
How do you know if it’s a date or not?
Life is supposed to be easier now. With improvements in communications,
transportation, and technology, going out and meeting new people should
be less complicated than it used to be. In the age of Facebook, Skype,
webcams, and online dating, there are so many opportunities to meet new
people than ever before. Despite all these, something as basic as
defining if or when two people are merely hanging out or are actually
already on a date remains a point of contention. You might think you’re
already on a date but the person you’re with believes you two are just
hanging out as friends. That lack of communication is something that
needs to be addressed to avoid any further misunderstanding.
1. It's planned and it's exclusive.
Guys and girls hang out all the time. That’s just the nature of most people. In a group of friends or in a barkada, the entire group or smaller spinoff groups could choose to go to a mall or catch a movie. The confusion sometimes arises when it’s only one guy and one girl who go out. Twenty-something economist Cito de Leon says, “I don't believe in "group dates" so I think that what primarily differentiates ‘gimmick’ from dates are the exclusivity (it’s just you and the girl, no one else),” he shares. “There has to be some element of intimacy involved, like dinner or the guy picking up and bringing home the girl.”
Another primary consideration is that dates are hardly ever impromptu. “There has to be some planning involved,” Cito emphasizes. “Not some random ‘Tara, let's hang out’ thing. A date has to be scheduled.” The planning involved and the absence of randomness gives some considerable weight to a date that isn’t present in a simple dinner or movie hangout session.
Regarding expectations, the difference between a mere “tambay” and a date become even more pronounced. Cito notes that, “there are different expectations for dates, especially if its the first.” “I always feel the need to put my best foot forward, so I can't say I’m completely myself.” The reverse also applies though as Cito notes that, “I also expect the girl to be the same, that in some sense, she's also putting out the best version of herself.”

2. Both parties are clear about their intentions and there's chemistry.
For 30-something senior marketing manager Mike Lopez, the delineation between a date and a non-date is clear as day. “When you try to kiss her on the lips, and she either kisses you back, or doesn't feel uncomfortable in the attempt, then it's a date,” Mike says. “If she tries to kiss you, and you are uncomfortable with it, it's a date.”
Mike elaborates further by saying, “If she is not comfortable with your romantic intentions, she's not your date, and she may not be your friend for much longer.”
Clearly, intent of both parties needs to be considered when Mike explains, “If she doesn't know you have romantic intentions for her, it's not a date and she is just your friend.” As for blind dates and setups, Mike notes the following: “A blind date can be considered a date by definition and people on them are supposed to be single, so the romantic intention is not strong, but may be there. A setup is not a date, especially if the other person was not informed it's supposed to be a date.”
Exclusivity, planning, raised expectations, intimacy levels, and intentions of both parties. Add one final factor in assessing whether it is a date or not: mutual awareness. Mike encapsulates this point thusly, “ “If there is ever any doubt whether it really is a date, by any one of the two people, then it's not a date. Period. A date is like love, if it isn't mutual, it isn't there.”

Can you ever be 'just friends' with a guy?
According to a new study, the answer is yes…kind of.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin studied guy-girl friendships of more than 400 adults and found that, even though men and women can be buddies, guy friends are more likely to be attracted to us than we are to them.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin studied guy-girl friendships of more than 400 adults and found that, even though men and women can be buddies, guy friends are more likely to be attracted to us than we are to them.
Scientists also discovered that men are more likely than women to
overestimate how attracted their female friends are to them. So your
best guy friend might secretly think you have a thing for him-even when
you don't. Annoying, we know.
Not only that, guys who were in relationships weren't any less likely than single dudes to say that they find their female friends attractive or that they'd actually like to date them. Women, on the flip side, were also equally likely to be attracted to their guy friends, but those who were in relationships were way less likely to say they'd actually date them.

So, yes, we can be friends with guys. But it can be a bit...complicated.

A Thousand Years
When I first heard this song, I was carried away because of the lyrics. I find it simple yet romantic. I downloaded the song and played it numerous times till I memorized the lyrics. Then Glee made their own rendition. So cute. :)
