Bad luck, Good Luck
MANGINGISDA
by Carlos V. Francisco
1. Omens
A black cat crossing your path is a bad omen. A black cat is a demon in disguise.
Encountering a yellow butterfly will bring you good luck.
If a brown butterfly enters your house, you will lose money.
If you are awakened by chirping birds at dawn, luck awaits you.
Dreaming of fish, trees, or snakes means good fortune, money, or happiness.
2. Dos and Don'ts
Lying down with your feet facing the door will bring you an early death.
Adorning your dress with pearls means you will shed many tears.
Do not mend your clothes while wearing them, or harm will befall you.
Stepping on a pillow brings misfortune.
A person who is headed somewhere should not proceed with her journey if she trips on something after leaving the house. Otherwise, something terrible will happen to her.
If you sit on your bag while travelling, you will not reach your destination.
A person who breaks mirrors faces seven years of bad luck.
At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, eat twelve grapes which represent the twelve months of the year. This will ensure money and good luck throughout the year.
Whistling at night invites evil spirits.
Wearing a diamond protects the bearer from evil-minded people.
