Do you believe..believe it.!

April 9, 2008

In different countries, we have different cultures, people, religion and even beliefs but what is the difference of it to the other countries! When were still a kid, most of our parents, lolo and lola’s tell us that they believe we will get into trouble if we will don¹t follow or obey these beliefs.

Most of us Filipino’s believe in our grandfathers and grandmothers about their past stories, legends, folklores and what they call supertitious beliefs. But today, most of the teenagers and child doesn’t believe in supertitious belief. I wonder why, is it true or what..? But I think if that’s true, it is accidentally happened.

 

Filipinos are unique not only because of their cultures, traditions, religions but also because of their superstitions. According to our ancestors, some of them were true. Whenever they see or feel something they always give meaning to it.    

The following are some examples of the superstitions:

SHADOWS: Our shadow is our soul. People who think don’t have any shadow will be mistakenly know as a devil.

STAIRS/LADDERS: When you step on a stair or a ladder while asking for something it will be there.

If a woman walks under a stair or ladder she will not be married that year.

LIGHTNING: Lightning never hits the same place twice. Over the centuries people had believed that if lightning strikes, this is a sign that God is angry.

TEETH AND NAILS: If your front teeth have a big gap this is a signs of good luck. The bigger the gap is, the more likely you will have a better chance in life.

When a toddler loses his first tooth you must burn it or give it to the squirrels, so as the toddler grown up, he/she will have strong permanent teeth. If a baby grew its teethe earlier than expected there is a chance that he/she will have a brother or a sister.

If you cut your nail on Saturday or on Friday,bad luck is on the way.

WEDDINGS: The groom can only see the bride inside the church on their wedding day.

The bride should not look at herself at the mirror before the ceremony begins.

If your wedding gown was ruined or a ring fell, you’re marrying an abusive man.

BIRTHDAY: If you were born at midnight, you will see the soul of your loved ones that have died.

If you were born in the morning, you will have a long life.

If you were born in the afternoon or at night, you are a lazy person.

If you were born in the morning, you will be a coward.

These are just some of thousands of    . Hope you too guys will follow this superstitious belief because if don’t you will be punish by your grandpa and grandma… :D

The people nowadays don’t believe that much in superstitions because they’re much more exposed to technology and science.

With that kind of thinking they always demand proof of something’s existence. And since these things are quite hard to prove they remain in the realms of superstition.
