Believe It Or Not

I'm officially sick now. I have a headache and I sound funny because of my cold. Ngongo ako.
Anyway, I just want to document what happened to me this morning. Well, part of what "happened" to me.
Backtrack tayo 2 years ago. Tom my friend has been telling about his friend who is psychic. He would keep on bragging about her, kesyo she's gives good advice and all that. Siyempre skeptical ako, I know manghuhulas are just that: manghuhula. It's not that I do not believe all manghuhulas or that I haven't tried going to one. Whenever I talk to one I am always on the look out for their slip-ups. Most manghuhulas tend to give general readings, tipong applicable to any person or any situation. I never really paid much attention to his stories about his friend.
A few days ago I decided to send Tom a message. I told him I'm sad and I need to talk to someone. He told me about his friend, let's call her MissTerious. I decided to give it a try. If he had asked me to meet her around Febuary, I would have said no. My state of mind now is different. I'm living on the edge now! Hehehe.
So I went to Tom's place 10AM. MissTerious was already waiting for me for 10 mins when I got there. Tom introduced me to her and left me with her.
Before we started she gave me instructions to remember everything she'd tell me because once she leaves the room she would forget everything. She brought out a deck of playing cards, shuffled them a bit then asked me to pick out a card without looking at it. Then she picked 3 cards from the top of the pile. She described me at first. The stuff she told me were things that anyone who knows how to read people would have figured that out. But as she went along there were details that struck. She said stuff about my parents and my family that almost made me cry. I was on the verge of breaking down 3 times while she was doing her reading but I was able to control myself. She said I feel that my family doesn't appreciate me, that I don't get the credit I deserve for doing the things I do. She's right! This is something not even Tom knows. She said that I'm starting to realize now that my parents love me, especially my Mom. True, my Mom's been good to me lately and now my Dad's with her and he has his work now, he even promised to help me out with my studies. *sniff*
She mentioned this guy who broke my heart. Natawa ako. She said, "Matalino ka pero pagdating dito sa lalaking ito parang nabobobo ka. Hindi naman sa bobo ka pero nasisira ang diskarte mo dahil sa kanya." Words to that effect. I was grinning from ear to ear. She said a lot of things that were true. Amazing talaga!
Here are some stuff she said:

MissTerious: Sabi ng mga nakapaligid sa lalaking ito wag ka na pakawalan kasi siguradong mahal mo sya. Sabi ng mga taong nakapaligid sa iyo i-drop mo na sya. This is so true! Hehehe!

MissTerious: Lagi mong naiisip na sa hirap ng dinaranas mo nagtataka ka kung bakit pinarurusahan ka. Sinasabi mo sa Angel mo na ginagawa mo ang lahat pero hindi ka pa rin binibiyayaan ng para sa iyo. I keep complaining that I've been a good person, I've done everything I could to be good in the eyes of man and God but inspite of my efforts I still don't get anything good in return, like it doesn't pay to be good.

MT: Hindi dahil sa masama ang magpahula, pero pinipigilan ka ng guardian angel mo kaya hindi ka nagpapahula. Iba nasa isip mo pag hinuhulaan ka. Hindi makakapasa sa iyo ang kahit sinong manghuhula. This is true, I really am not inclined to see a manghuhula to consult my problems. She added something that I won't mention here but she definitely knows why I don't like going to manghuhulas anymore. I'm just going through a rebellious stage now.

After the general reading you are allowed to ask questions. Most of my questions were answerable by YES or NO. But there was question that stood out because of her answer:
Me: Ang mga tanong ba dapat answerable by Yes or No o puwede kahit anong tanungin ko?
MT: Puwede kahit ano.
Me: (Pause for a few seconds) Saan siya?
MT: Nandito siya sa Pilipinas. Hindi ko masabi exactly kung nandidito pa sya pero alam ko dumating sya dito this year. Puwedeng umalis na or papaalis na.
This is highly unusual because he's from the US and he's supposed to have arrived this month here and he was here a few months ago. I never mentioned this to her nor Tom. Tom doesnt even know anything about him. Coincidence? Of course you could say she was making a general statement but why say he's here in the Philippines when it is usually assumed that he should be here. Why mention the Philippines?

Of course there were instances where she couldn't give me a definite answer, but she would tell me immediately. There was one statement she said that was not true, she said "nakatapos ka sa eskuwelahan dahil sa sarili mong sikap, dahil sa sarili mong kayod..." Paanong mangyayari yon eh hindi pa ako tapos?
I hope I'm not deluding myself into thinking that she's omniscient, she's not. There are certain details that I won't be able to verify anymore. There are certain fine points which I would rather not accept as true, lest I would give myself false hopes and get hurt again. But in fairness hindi naman sya nagsabi ng mga bagay na paapasahin ka sa wala.
She also gave me sound advice. Sabi niya, "Nasasaiyo yan kung gusto mo. Kung gugustuhin mo mangyari puwede naman." I like the idea that a person is still responsible for his/her own destiny, hindi yung sinabi ng manghuhula eh gospel truth na or when a manghuhula speaks feeling nya absolute truth sinabi nya.
O sya lang yan share ko. I think I'm coming down with the flu. Lakas ng energy na na expend ko sa hula na yan ha! Hehehe.
