Hehehe, this reading I got for free seems encouraging enough!
Happy New Year!
About 2003
In Numerology, 2003 is a Five year, because the numbers that make up the year add up to five. In a Five year, you can expect action and lots of change in the world. The dynamic number Five shakes up our preconceived notions about the way things should happen. The best general advice in a Five year? Expect the unexpected, and prepare for excitement and change.
The numbers Two and Three are known as "Pinnacle Numbers" and represent 2003's underlying themes.
The number Two encourages us to respect and understand the thoughts and perspectives of others who might not share our own personal philosophies. Agree to disagree, and remember: the world would be a boring place without a variety of beliefs and opinions.
The Three focuses on our ability to communicate, and encourages us to be clear and succinct in our dealings. A Three Pinnacle puts the emphasis on saying what we mean, and meaning what we say.
Glitches in communication are also likely this year, so it's best to be prepared. Be sure to charge up that cell phone battery, address your mail correctly, and back up your computer to avoid annoyances and delays.
While Five, Two and Three are the universal Number themes for 2003, each of us have our own personal numbers, based on our birth name, that help us to define the year ahead.
Your Personal Year number for 2003 is 3
This is a year of expansion and personal growth. It is a time of heightened personal expression. Creativity and artistic talent come to the forefront. You are lighthearted and drawn to all kinds of social events.
More than most other years, you will entertain and be entertained. You meet new and exciting people. It is a time to appreciate all that you have.
You are highly dynamic and charismatic. Your challenge is to avoid scattering your energies. You have a rare opportunity to bring forth new and creative ideas. But that requires discipline and focus.
It is easy to be optimistic and enthusiastic this year and this may result in speeding up your projects. Yet there will be delays and disappointments unless your enthusiasm is based upon the reality of work and concentration.
This is a pleasant time in which friendship is enjoyed and love shared easily.
This is often a good financial year, particularly if your creativity is well directed. Surround yourself with upbeat and positive people.
You may travel more than usual, which in all likelihood will be filled with exciting people and pleasure.
Control this year's tendencies towards glamour and extravagance, yet allow your self more room to enjoy and celebrate.
You communicate well this year and are more capable of getting your ideas across.
Love is in the air.
February brings changes; June sees the completion of a project and July signals a new beginning. August can be emotional, as can November.
Ack, in a matter of days — 48 hours or so — it'd be a brand new year na pala! I'll be posting my year-ender specials (which I wasn't able to post last year, boOhOo) in a few!
1. What holiday or holidays do you celebrate this time of year? Christmas (blechhh, for the heck of it na lang), & New Year's Day (which I'm rather excited pa about).
2. What was the best gift you have ever received? Uhm, this year? I got a lot of really cool gifts so it's hard to say which.
3. What was the worst gift you've ever given? I dunno. I've given out a lot of crappy stuff na rin kasi. Besides, I'd rather give away cards. Anyway, maybe the worst gift I've given would be collectively those presents I thought were fairly okay to dish out but weren't appreciated much, like this umbrella I gave to my best bud for kicks. I bought the damn thing since it was the only thing left decent in the newly-opened (but now-defunct LOL) Personalize-It store at the mall in my locale — & of course, I thought it was cute. Handy & symbolic of our friendship at the same time. Kaso, too bad. Sira na yung punyetang payong. She should've kept it even without using it, right? Fuck. Hehe.
4. Where will you be celebrating the holidays? Are you hosting?
Going away? Maybe I'll stay home again & sleep it all off. I've had it spending the holidays with other people. But wait, being online on IRC entails spending time with other people! LOL.
5. If you could spend the holidays with someone who isn't around, who would it be with? Why? Hehe, do you even have to ask? ^_^
"We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love."
LIBRA: Weed out your unrealistic goals. Getting through to people is the easy part today, but take it to the next level by making requests and demanding action.
Fuck. What goals?
But honestly, I've been thinking about pursuing career opportunities early next year, which of course, rolls out in a matter of days. I have to muster up enough gall to actually approach people to help me get admitted anywhere related in my future line of work. I'm really feeling down all of a sudden, but I have to get through this soon...
Flying in a dream is not too unusual but not everyone has these dreams. Our bodies cannot fly so flying represents the part of us that is not limited by the physical body — the mind. Flying by yourself in a dream indicates you have a strong mind (ie. are very rational / intellectual). This ability to 'project' your mind means you can develop hypnosis and absent healing among other things. These abilities work through projecting your mind onto another. The downside is that the person has to be careful to not be too much in the head all the time. You can miss a lot of opportunities in life if you always rationalize things and never follow you heart.
Flying with a guide in a dream is different though and it indicates that you have the ability to project your mind into the spirit world and communicate with spirits. A guide in these type of dreams usually appears as somebody who is an instructor on how to fly.
But mostly my dream sequence would end with me heading straight for & crashing into the pavement. Now what could that mean? I don't think I've ever "flown" with a guide before. Hmmm, lemme try to remember...
I don't feel the Christmas spirit this year, unfortunately. I guess I'm too bummed out. It just doesn't make sense anymore. The whole fuss used to be catchy, albeit melancholy. Now I could care less if people set up lights, wrap up gifts, write cards & make presentations all set for the season. Bah, humbug. Last year was so much more fun, though, even when everything here at home was so screwed-up.
I've fixed all the links in my long December 19th post. My best bud has fallen in love with the Haindl deck all over again as well, when she took a closer look at the Star card from it in my guidebook. The Two of Cups is the loveliest card in that particular deck, though, so far.
I feel light & bubbly today. Good morning. Thank you so much for the great conversation & sandwiches, Ate May. I promise to be a good godmother to Sean someday. & yes, you are so lucky to have a great father. As much as I'd like to give you my condolences for him, I think you should be happy because at least even in his last hour he was able to let you feel how much he loves you & the rest of your family. *hugs* I'm glad to be a part of your family, too, via my best bud & your sister-in-law shadowkat.
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
Or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
In secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in
Itself the light of hidden flowers;
Thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
Risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way

So I love you because I know no other way.
That this: where I does not exist, nor you,
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
So close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
LIBRA: It's a great day to clear your conscience — write out your mistakes, forgive yourself for all of them, and then throw the list away. Before you go to dreamland tonight, say goodbye to habits that no longer serve you.
For the sake of collecting decks, this, as I've realized only recently, would make a great addition if ever. I love its High Priestess card most. I wonder why I always get drawn to that card in just about every deck I come across with. But my brother thinks the deck is too creepy while other people find it dreamy.
I really don't have anything in mind this Christmas, until I came across this seemingly interesting book. Waaahhh, wtf.
I know I sound like a crazed idiot obsessed with cartomancy, but I really can't help being drawn to it now, especially that I've got 2 new fancy spreads to work with (enticingly called Moon & Cake, hehe) once I get the chance. But I have to reclaim my room first from my folks. They've been sleeping there this week since they got their a/c unit busted & they fucking couldn't find the warranty for it when the servicemen came over the other day. I'm getting tired of sleeping late as well as moving from one room to another. I'm glad my kid sibs would let me crash in theirs in the meantime. I terribly miss my room & my bed, the only spot where I can really be at peace with myself in this hellhole I grudgingly call home. I wonder how long will this madness last. Dammit. & I'm supposed to be happy this season? Bah, hum-fucker-bug!
My kid bro lent me his black cellphone cover out of nowhere & I feel weird because I don't feel like myself at all anymore with too much black & gray in my clothes & stuff. I love my worn-out pastel thingamajigs too much now. Hehe, how gurly. But I got a fancy black book, LOL, for my best bud & I hope she likes it. I can't wait to give it to her — among them other junk I've got prepared — before the weekend. I'm way overdue for observing our 4th friendship anniversary.
Rainblood made me download 3 In Flames tracks from him, & that me miss my other metal mp3's (that got obliterated last year because my bothered accidentally fucked up with the hard disk). Especially from Iced Earth & My Dying Bride. He gave me a full-length At The Gates album to download with 2 extra songs thrown in, but I wasn't able to spare that, either. Crap.
Oh, & boohoo, so long, strawberry & kretek cigs... I'm steering clear of you before I get hooked or something. I don't smoke, though! & I hate it because my parents do so my room stinks somewhat. Shit.
Been bingeing like crazy. My damned hormonal imbalance is very much responsible for it. Not to mention the irresistible food overload here at home. I wonder where I can get delectable leche flan quick. Yum. Hehe.
I decided to go see shadowkat again last night, after not getting to be with her for quite a while. We talked about how she was quitting work because she was getting fed up with the company she was working in for the last 5 months, how I've been feeling lately, & what happened with her bar-hopping spree with Marky the other night. I made her handle my tarot deck as we had this spread we were supposed to read but couldn't, because we had to head off to Marky's when mein uber liebe fUse & his best bud AJ came over. She also made me interpret her own reading — using the 7th Card Spread — that she did with this old Rider-Waite deck she borrowed from her immediate boss & had 'recharged' in my room a few months back. The results turned out to be similar to what I read for her before using the same spread, which basically represented her 'repressed' self. But the outcome card was the 9 of Pentacles, which is a good card to get anyhow. Our mutual card turned out magically to be the Hermit (hehe, damn him). Our favorite cards, respectively — 2 of Cups (hers) & Knight of Swords (I am just so in love with this baby!). We could hardly wait for the New Year to usher in. Maybe life would take it easier on us by then.
An excerpt from a poem I found on a fun e-page... *sigh*
I hate it 'cause I've waited so long for someone like you,
Should I say it,
Should I tell you how I feel,
It's so complicated, I'm so frustrated,
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay, Should I say it, should I tell you how I feel,
Oh, I want you to know,
But then again I don't,
It's so complicated.
LIBRA: Variety is easy to get with your eclectic group of friends. Even one new activity a week will open your world entirely to new modes of thought. Thinking differently is the key to changing what you don't like about your environment.
Are some tomatoes better for you than others? Research says yes.
Although all tomatoes are rich in important nutrients, such as lycopene, recent research has revealed that some tomato varieties may contain more health-protective flavonols than others. Small cherry tomatoes had the highest flavonol concentration of 20 tomato varieties tested in a study.
Flavonols are antioxidants that protect against aging and disease. There is no recommended daily allowance for flavonols. However, you can get your fill by eating five servings of vegetables and four servings of fruit per day, especially ones with deep red or purple hues, such as red onions, red grapes, and tomatoes. Over 90% of the flavonols in fruits and vegetables are found in the skins.
