because something good indeed can work this season

November has been very intense for me, so far. It started out fine with my new as well as returning clients. (Thanks, folks.) I also was able to spend more time with my brother again as we both prepared for All Saints' Day, & we got to visit my father & sister's grave after a long while. I was also able to join new friends (younger, kickass, creative girls) go boxing at least every week. I felt intense pain after 3 long days, though, during my first try before the Full Moon. I had to reschedule most my appointments as a result. I'm expecting to at least have a couple push through again this Tuesday, then I'll be taking some more time off just before the next New Moon in Sagittarius. Funny enough, New Moons are supposedly lazy days, but with the next one in rambunctious Sagittarius, if you feel antsy, anyway, go right ahead. I can totally feel the Sagittarian energy now, while Venus is in it, so I'm totally wearing a lot more solar colors (red, orange, pink) for more energy, talking to more new people (like a whole bunch of foreigners, who are more often than not surprisingly fellow Librans!), planning my next faraway getaways, & getting more in touch with spirituality while trying to incorporate more of it in my day-to-day temporal drudgery.

Like I'm really switching back to healthier habits. That deserves a separate entry completely, but I might as well post it here. We got a new blender so it'll be easier to force-feed me fruit, as I can't eat the damned stuff fresh everytime (unless we're talking about mangoes, avocado, melons, & pineapple). I'll be cutting back on fancy alcohol, too, even if I can't resist this lineup. Everything I've dutifully sworn off in 2006 long before this blog was first operational via WordPress (sodas, fraps, excess carbs lacking protein) will be painfully set aside, too. Not to mention everything I've fallen in love with in 2006 before my grueling old day job sucked the life out of me (yoga, tai chi, Pilates, guided meditation) will be pursued again, along with my childhood favorites (biking, iceskating, long introspective walking). Looks like I'll be so on-the-go more often, & remind me to stock up on Advil until the holidays are over & done with. I really need to get my strength back. Psychic work is draining (especially lately, when things get eerily accurate on the spot even sans my Tarot cards, yikes) & now that Neptune has gone direct, I've just realized how disconnected I really am now to my physical body. & that has got to change by next year, especially now that I'm thinking of adding Muay Thai, surfing, & wakeboarding to my weekly routine. Don't ask.

Basta, what's important is that I get back on track with what I've started in 2006. Speaking of which, I was reminded of my 5-year-long reading for myself from that year using my Samurai Tarot deck. Now to be both feminine & badass at the same time.

This song isn't so badass as I intend to be again from now on, but it's light & fun & it's good for affirmations. I'm definitely getting things started. How about you?



I'm still very swamped with e-mail & texts so please bear with me. Just making this update is draining, but I'm so glad I'm back online here. Now if you want to schedule a reading (most likely in person) starting next week, my only available times would be early Tuesday (2pm-6pm) & Wednesday (5pm-7pm). If I don't get to sign up people by Monday, that's it, the next round's on the week after, same timeslots.

For people interested in remote readings with me, here's a tip I'd like to share & quote before we proceed:

"There are many people who think that the psychic will know about their problems in just a couple of minutes. In an online psychic reading, it is not at all practical to expect this. To get the best help in the least possible time, it is very important to prepare the questions well in advance. The caller needs to first decide on the problems that he would like the psychic to solve. This would greatly help the psychic in giving the best solution."

& I totally abhor people who don't respond politely while inquiring about my services, especially while I'm asking them their names. PLEASE. I'm a very exhausted person & it takes a while before I can pick up on anyone's energy via text or phone or email, especially when I've got my hands full or my mind's processing 5 other pressing things. So onegaishimasu, it's best when you introduce yourselves properly, before or after taking time to read my FAQs, & I'll be more than happy to accommodate you.

& to end this post on a rather nice note, the first 3 people who comment & share their thoughts here will get a quick online reading from me. Make sure you have working links or valid contact information. I appreciate all my blog readers & patrons, but I think it's time for you sweeties to be heard. Have a happy weekend! ♥

order quick readings via email! (2011 edition)

Thank you to the first few lucky people who've ordered my special Tarot email readings! I made your readings pretty extensive (worth $35), & I hope I made sense, hehe. Remember, you get $5 bucks off a 2- or 3-question order. & it's best if you frame your questions so you get more clarity that way. But if you don't really have anything in mind, & would just like to see what the future holds for you, that works, too. (Remember, in the end, only YOU can make decisions for yourself! YOU create your OWN future!) Kindly let me know upon placing your orders via PayPal. This is a limited offer (only until the end of this month) so grab it while it lasts. :D

Email readings are just as good as face-to-face readings, & they are very detailed & personalized. No, I don't go pasting generic meanings of the cards I've drawn. I relay them exactly to your situation, & say things as you need to read/hear/know them. They're also convenient if you want concise answers, & when you're on the go. If you've read my first FAQ listing, you'll get further ideas on what to expect when availing such a service from me. Satisfaction guaranteed, no matter how cliché that sounds, hehe.

I usually respond right away, shortly after the receipt of your questions, so don't worry. If you still want to meet me for a face-to-face reading, especially after a quick reading, please email me so we can schedule one ASAP.

So far, my next available reading schedule in person would be:

Friday (October 21st) 3pm-5pm4pm
Tuesday (October 25th) 2pm-5pm
Thursday (October 27th) 3pm-8pm
Monday (October 31st) 2pm-8pm (tentative)

& again, for more information on how I do my readings, please read my FAQs. Take your time doing so, & get your questions ready. It will help you relax (a major requirement before getting your cards read) & focus on what you really need to know + do. & I've learned the hard way that I won't ever need to coax an inquiring querent for a session — it's either you're truly up for it, or not. I only inform my contact list of my schedules every now & then so I'd be able to streamline my tasks. Please note that what I do isn't mere fortune-telling; it's more often than not a cathartic 2-way street, with a little creative brainstorming (especially for business or career decisions) thrown into the mix. If you haven't tried this before, but you're raring to go, do yourself a favor, then — I'll be more than happy to assist you! :D

Anyway, have fun, & leave a comment here for instant feedback! ♥

(P.S. I'll be providing a few more surprises for my blog followers, so stay tuned!
The comments section is the place to be, where the next virtual Tarot party's at!)

love = sick

I'm sorry for being gone again for so long, but I've already updated my calendar for October so people can schedule face-to-face readings with me more easily. I'm so tired. Forgive me. I really haven't recovered yet from last month's craziness, & I'm truly sorry for my last post. But I mean well. I always do. I just want everybody else to be responsible for their own feelings & lives, the same way I'm desperately trying to take care of myself. To my ardent patrons, you know me, I go the extra mile whenever I can for you fine folks. But the curse of being too accommodating is just too much to bear sometimes. & I really care about you. Tough love, baby. & please don't wait for me to tell you that straight to your face.

Though it truly made my week when a prospective Leo client texted me about how he loves my blog for being witty & upfront. Honesty, he says, is "a trait that is slowly dying in this digital age." & thank heavens despite my profanity he doesn't see it as crass, hehe. Thank you, Y. (& I'm so sorry, but your strong Venus in Cancer is what I've been picking up for all this time! :P)

I want everybody I come in close contact with to be happy. Now please remember that happiness is a state of mind, & it's always fleeting. The only way to really make the most out of a happy moment is truly revel in it while it lasts. Well, taking pictures & videos can help. But memories are the best things to come out from it. Cherish those, & always count your blessings. Things can — & will — be anticlimactic more often than not, but that shouldn't put a stop to you feeling happy every single blasted chance you'd get.

In our pursuit of happiness, though, we tend to lose ourselves in the process. The more we feel it's elusive, the more stressful it can be for us to handle things. Take my own struggles with gardening & adjusting to new health + fitness schedules, for instance. Then there were these premier events I had to go to, to show my support to some of my most awesome clients, & I still need to recover from the hubbub. My auld lang syne friends are MIA when I need the most, & I feel more alone than ever. Worse, my lovelife (say what? LOL) is going nowhere fast. But whatever. I'll just share this article that brightened up my day:

"Here are three tools I use on a daily basis to keep getting to know myself amidst (& sometimes because of) my challenges:"

1. Do one small thing to make today better than yesterday.

Allow yourself to settle into the idea of small little shifts that add up to a more peaceful, centered you. Say a prayer for someone you know who is hurting. Put yourself to bed early. Pack yourself a healthy lunch.

[It's always amazing] at how one little thing can have such a drastic impact on our mood. You reclaim a piece of your day, even if it's just a small one.

2. Begin to embrace your own brand of happy. Don’t ask it to look exactly like "everyone else’s."

Be open to the hobbies, places, & people who make you jazzed about your future, regardless of what others may think about them. You were given specific skills in order to shine. Cultivate them in small & big ways.

If your current friends aren’t interested in your new passions, ask the Universe to guide you to others who might be.

3. You’re holding the remote; go ahead and press the pause button when needed.

Make an effort to turn inward & reset your frequency if you feel like things are getting funky. Whether you take a two-minute walk outside, meditate before you go to bed at night, or simply pause in the doorway before you zoom into “go, go, go” mode, you create a split-second opportunity to be present & show up for a day full of possibility and miracles.

I'm still counting my blessings, & I'm just praying this maddening lull will ease out soon. If you're feeling like the Universe is grating you like a citrus fruit for your zest, leave a comment & let's talk about it, haha.

Anyway, since it's my 6th blogging anniversary this weekend (technically, October 13th), I'll be throwing in a few surprises on my Facebook page (please Like the damn thing, haha) & you can try my quick readings that I'll be offering only until the end of my Venus return next month:

Yes! Get US$5 off if you ask me 2 or 3 questions via email! Please give me until Monday (just in case) if you're availing of this today to fully respond to your questions, just so I can get my personal stuff that I've planned beforehand out of the way. I usually respond right away, shortly after the receipt of your questions, so don't worry. If you still want to meet me for a face-to-face reading, well, you know the drill. ;)

Text me beforehand should you want to be scheduled for Friday, October 21st, 3pm-5pm: (+63) 0920-433-5420. Please note that I might be in the middle of a reading session so if you call, I might not be able to pick up immediately. Text me FIRST before calling. I'm adamantly sticking to my schedules but I want to accommodate everyone as much as I can this month. Meaning, I'd rather read on these particular days at MY preferred places so, please, I beg of you. (House calls will have extra charge, up to double my standard rate, depending on location & weather conditions. For now, I can only accommodate requests within the Makati CBD. For more information how I do my readings, please read the updated 2nd FAQ.)

Email readings are just as good as face-to-face readings, & they are very detailed & personalized. No, I don't go pasting generic meanings of the cards I've drawn. I relay them exactly to your situation, & say things as you need to read/hear/know them. They're also convenient if you want concise answers, & when you're on the go.

Thanks for reading, & happy weekend. Stay tuned for updates! :D
