Let's go to the next house
Earlier, I was talking to my father about the upcoming fiesta in our place; that would be 3 months from now. Why we came with this topic early, is that our church officers decided that after the mass on that day, everyone will gather in our house to eat. This is one of the tradition in any fiesta, that there must be one house that the priest will stay to eat. Actually, we always set our house for that matter, we always gather here until discouragement occur.
There are some point of mine that I don't like when our house is choosen is that. I observed that everyone in my family are so busy in preparing the food. Others will say, "don't worry, we will help you in preparing", but at the end it's my parents who are struggling, until it's only me and my grandma who can go to church. I really want us to attend the mass as a complete family, just like how I'm eager for all of us to completely attend the mass during Christmas Eve.
Way back 3 years ago, after mass everyone gathered in our house to eat. Btw, we didn't cook all the food, but each member of the church have his/her share. Speaking of my title, it is somewhat a tradition for everyone to go in each or different house to eat. All houses are open, and all welcome to eat; unless you're shy to do this like me, I just only stay in our house besides I have something to eat.
But did you know, especially to my co-filipinos here that eating in different houses can give bad effect? I have watched a documentary on TV about a group of friends who eat in different houses during their fiesta, they don't care if they know who's house is it, but the important is that they can eat.
There are three of them, they enter in a house which is somewhat creepy. They eat all the foods prepared on the table, say bye and everything change at night. One of the girl noticed that her sister always wakes up late at night, she thought that it is just normal. Until she observed that her Sister was going out in their house, and when get back she sometimes have blood, smells bad, then have this dirty and pierced clothes.
One night, she hide behind their wall and look what does her sister's doing. To her surprise her sister changed into an 'Aswang'. Again, for those who don't know Aswang is a Philippine mythical creature, who eat flesh of a human. You can check here is you want to know more about it.
The next day she saw that there's a body part of a baby outside their house. Because of her panic, she immediately dig a hole and buried it so no one can see. She asked her sister on what's happening to her, and it said that she can't control herself during night.
They asked help to those who are expert in this case, and finally they found out that the girl unconsciously eat a black stone which lead her to become an Aswang. They also conclude that maybe it's in the last house that they visit during fiesta. Lastly, they successful get it out from her body; she vomit and with it there's this black stone. They buried it, and they are starting to live again peacefully.
Why I shared this one is to remind everyone not to eat in other's house during fiesta. Charr! Just joking. I just want to remind us that we must be careful in engaging with other people, especially when you don't know who he/she is and even the place you are in.This story might be real or not, but at the end this still teach us that We should be careful in our actions,as it might lead for a lifetime problem.
Just a quick random topic everyone, trying to be productive. Hope you understand my story:D
