A late lunch at home alone.
Replenished our soda supply.
It's become quite chilly. Rather than wear one of my jackets, though, I'm wearing the full-length, black, Islamic robe that CatCat and her boyfriend brought me from Lebanon some two years ago. It has black embroidery along its pocket edge and front opening, and makes me look like The Hermit in the Rider-Waite deck.
Asked Lennoel to bring some food over to M.'s cafe staff.
Night chores.
My favorite time of the day has come again: an evening shower, and then spending some time with Patty Mayo and Bounty Hunter D.
Lit palo santo and copal joss sticks in the incense burners at three altars on the ground floor.
A bedtime snack.
Our kitchen is well-stocked since Angelique and Jazz did major groceries today.
Checked whether M.'s cafe is well-stocked for a stormy weekend; it is.

Such dreams occur when the dreamer has been dishonest about himself to himself and to others.

My reply:
Hello ___________!
There is NOTHING in both of the photos you sent me. Never trust swiped, defocused, or dimly lighted shots--all of those are sure to contain images that you will tend to read like Rorschach inkblots. That phenomenon of perception is called anamorphosis.
I have seen many authentic photos with spirits in them and, in those photos, the spirits were clear and unmistakable. After all, why should spirits choose to manifest in blurred photos when they could very well manifest in sharp ones?

"Good Morning Sir Tony. I just need your opinion. I often see 911 everywhere. In the clock, house number, and everywhere. And everytime I see it I feel something weird. Is my spirit guide wants something to convey, is their any significance of this number or just coincidence? I search about the meaning of this number pero magkaiba iba sila ng meaning. Thank you"
My reply:
Hello _____!
Always add up the digits of recurring numbers. In this case 9 + 1 + 1 = 11 = 2. Eleven and two are the numbers of the joyous twins. You are being called upon to celebrate a special occasion, whatever that is.
Your Messenger message:
"Sir Tony, good morning! I wanted to ask you about this watchtower in ___________, ___________ because I experienced something supernatural while my friend, A., and I were inside it. As I was taking photos of the interior of the watchtower, I saw through my cellphone an orb of light pass before us. It looked and floated like a bubble before it disappeared in the shadows. I looked at A., who said nothing. Apparently, he had not seen the orb. I checked the sources of light inside the watchtower both with my naked eyes and my cellphone's camera to make sure that it was not an optical illusion or my imagination. When I could not come up with a plausible explanation, I felt a heaviness in the air, as if something unseen was enveloping me. I asked A. to step out of the watchtower with me. I did not have the guts to tell him about what I saw inside the watchtower. Sadly, I was not able to capture the orb with my cellphone camera. Eventually, we went back inside the watchtower, but I never saw the orb of light again. Did I experience something supernatural then, or was it just an optical illusion? Thank you in advance!"
My reply:
Hello ________!
First of all, there are orbs everywhere, especially where there are elementals. They act up and become visible whenever they are disturbed. Note, for example, that whenever a parade with drums marches down the street and you take photos of the trees, the photos will show up orbs all over the place.
I am certain that you and A. did something to disturb the elementals in the watchtower. You must have been conditioned by all those videos of adventurous persons who visit unusual places and immediately anticipate something horrific to happen there.
Just ignore the incident, since that watchtower isn't a place you would go to everyday. And remember that, wherever you go, you need to show respect not only to the people there but also to the spirits in that place.
Unexpected goodies came with the Gandalf The Gray hat: a dozen B/W publicity stills from Enter The Dragon, a TinTin and Snowy maquette from The Crab With The Golden Claws, a Slytherin journal, a Bruce Lee watch, and Harry Potter keychains!
(Should I be bemused as to why he perceives me as being of Slytherin House?)
Originally practiced by the Native North Americans and the shamans of Siberia, the tuob is the supernatural equivalent of the lie detector test. It causes immediate relief to the afflicted--and has no effect at all on persons who are merely pretending to be ill.
It was bright and sunny this morning.
Lunch at home alone; grandchildren still resting upstairs. Then Aubrey came down to have lunch in the dining room.
Neil and I spent the afternoon cleaning the kitchen floor, the rear passage, and the laundry room.
Now Aubrey is off to visit Roi.

"Good evening Sir Tony. I would just like to thank you for all the guidance and learnings.
"I can still clearly remember the first time I met you around 1998 inside Ateneo campus. You told me something like I can be your daughter. You also said I looked like somebody from your family. I was very grateful back then when you invited me to attend and observe your psychology class at St. Scholastica's College."My reply:
Hello __________!
Yes, I remember, and you are most welcome for everything.
Teaching was most stressful to me. I had to be well-dressed all the time, I had to juggle my time between that and my full-time job, I was writing plays and attending rehearsals, I was writing and proofreading books, and I had to be attending to my family. I now intend to be relaxed and happy through the rest of my life.
Your Messenger message:
"Hi sir Tony, good evening. I have been meaning to ask you about my recent experiences seeing mermen/mermaids.
"I think it started about 2 weeks ago wherein I had a dream where I visited you and asked you about your Halloween costume. You jokingly replied in your usual manner 'Ay, you will drown!' then you showed me it was that of a merman. After which I realized I was reminded of the Bagting ng Dagat - whose talisman flashed for a moment after my realization. "A few nights after I had another dream, this time at a coastal town. And the part I remember is that I was to bury in sand a figure of a merman in a bottle. I even dropped the figure and had to go back for it. After which they became 2; one was inside the bottle, the other I was holding on top of it. "Days after that, I’ve also been seeing merman or mermaid figures on some shows that I watch or on my Facebook feed. "I also realized after looking through my dream journal that I have been having many dreams where water is involved. And usually I dive in, or wade through it. "Thank you for your time sir.
"Your Messenger message:
"Sir Tony I had a very vivid dream last night. In my dream, suddenly there was a deluge and my entire surroundings were flooded.. and I was swimming to safety. Then i saw a bayawak swimming beside me.. I tried to swim away but I wasn't really going anywhere. Later on I saw a sawa swimming in the water with us. First it swam away.. and then it was being swept closer to me. So close that its head was near my nose already. I was anticipating it to bite but it wasn't biting me. Then the bayawak was swimming right beside us. I was also at striking distance but it didn't bite as well. My dream ended with the Sawa and the Bayawak terribly close to me in the water.
"What could this possibly mean sir Tony? Is this an omen?"Do not make the mistake of making psychism, spiritualism, magic, and/or alternative healing your full-time occupation/s. None of those are real careers and only lead down a dead-end road, at the very bottom of which is your hovel called Poverty.
If, however, you are fine with being poor, then by all means feel free to do so. You will find that neither your friends who like being entertained by you nor your enemies will stop you.
Lit another pair of candles on our family altar and columbary.
A cup of sweet lemongrass tea.
This year the only semblance of our celebration of Halloween month is the fiberglass statue of Witch Glenda at our side porch entrance. I didn't take out any of our fabulous lamps and decor from Sydney. Neither did I wear any of the 31 Halloween-month T-shirts that are kept in a small suitcase, which I used to wear in rotation every day in the month of October. I have been wearing my Halloween hats though.

"good morning sir Tony. i reread your post last weekend and saw the advise to relate to your power animal. I often remember with great fondness, and I have told my kids the story of how I learned what my power animal was in your class.
"we had another meditation exercise and you asked us to go inside a dark cave. while inside, you asked us to stop and wait for our power animal to appear. to my surprise, suddenly the cave became brighter and revealed a large body of water. out of the water rose a _________________. when I shared this in class, everyone was laughing and could not believe it, but you said, no, that's fine, that's a fantastic power animal.
"i was a poor kid in college, living on meager allowances from my poor parents, so I made myself a pact to meet a _________________ once I could afford it. 20+ years later, I still have not had the chance to meet one in person. only on TV. it makes me sad, but also inspires me, as I have read a lot about how _______________s are such fantastic creatures. to have one as my power animal makes me feel super blessed and lucky.
"so my question is this, what advise would you give to me in terms of harnessing more fully the power of my power animal? there is a little guilt inside me that I have somehow "forgotten" my _______________s as it has now been 20+ years, though I'm pretty sure _______________s will understand I have had to set the needs of my growing family first -- it's not very cheap to go meet a dolphin hahaha. but I'm very anxious to meet one, and to, as you said, "relate more" to my power animal. all the best and have a great day ahead po!"
My reply:
Hello _______!
It is not necessary to physically be in the presence of a particular animal that represents your power animal, for every power animal is the essence or spirit of whichever animals it represents. It stands for ALL animals of that species in this world.
To stabilize your connection with your power animal, keep an image, artwork, or figurine of your power animal in your room. If it is a fantasy animal, simply make a painting or sculpture of it or create a collage using cut-outs from different photos.

The Filipino-Chinese community revere Ma Tzu and even hold their annual raffle to determine who keeps her image for a year--a very expensive affair. I used to have an altar statuette of her. I believe that she is syncretized as Yemaya, since she is patroness of seafarers and the sea. I even recall that, years ago, when a very strong typhoon was raging in Luzon and was en route to Taiwan, you said that the typhoon would abate before hitting Taiwan because Ma Tzu is the patroness of Taiwan.

Spent the entire afternoon and early evening with W. at Maryhill School of Theology. We successfully installed six paintings. Father Rene assigned two personnel to work overtime to assist us, it being a Saturday. Father Richard served us refreshments afterward.
Met two seminarians, one from Congo and the other from Indonesia, who'd just completed their theological studies.
An early lunch at home alone.
W. arrived. Served him lunch.
Angelique and Aubrey came down and took their lunch in the dining room.
The Maryhill service vehicle arrived. W. and the Maryhill crew loaded the first batch of three paintings and they are now off to Maryhill.
Now waiting for the men and the vehicle to come back and load the next batch of six paintings.
Can't wait to finally photograph the paintings on-site.
I love caterers who go out of their way to feed our servants and compound security guards. I then go out of my way to pay them extra and give their waiters substantial tips. As for caterers who do not do so, I never hire them again. I find that they think too highly of themselves and seem to be unable to conceive that, as far as I am concerned, they are really merely a convenient food service at the mercy of clients who couldn't care less whether they have culinary degrees or Michelin stars or not.
In this world, who pays, rules.

"Hi pai. Good morning. I am sorry to bother you. This may seem trivial butbit is creating some problems now. 2 weeks ago i purchased some vintage/antique brass cauldron and vase on line. I was looking for a container to use as oil lamp in my newly erected altar. The items arrived 2 weeks ago. And i pkaced the items on quarantine. I started to have hearing loss in my left ear 2 weeks ago. As a ________ i knew it was probably a dysfunction ib the eustachian tube. Saw ny ENT friend and he concurred. At the back of my mind. There is a nagging whisper to get rid of the items. But of course. I did not listen. The hearing improved. I unpacked the items. Smudged it sage. And even anointed it or placed some drops of exorcised oil. I have a creepy sensation whenever i peek inside one of the i cense burners. 2 days ago i used it as an oil lamp. And while reciting the breviary and rosary. I keep feeling a tingling sensation at the back of my head and my nape area. I also kept on looking back since i am facing a different altar. I had this nagging feeling that something is not gonna be right. Woke up at around 3 to 4 am feeling feverish. But my temperature was ok. Yesterday. I fixed my pillow and found out that the exorcism cross of St Benedict and St Anthony that i keep under ny pillow is turned uoside down. Last night the dullness in hearing returned and i woke up with a stye in the left eye. I also begin to have anxiety. Which i never had before. Alas. What else to think but the connection with the items and the things that is happening. Things are better when i light joss sticks in my altars. I would like to ask for your guidance pai. I am planning to disoose the items. By the way. The vase i use had an engraving of mv princess something so i assumed it used to be a decor in a ship. Thank you pai.
"And i use to buy vintage items anf sacramentals like rosaries crucifixes. But this is the first time these things happened.
"Though sometime i feel this is Gods way of making me reakize that i dont listen And see the signs that I should practice the craft to help people..."
My reply:
Hello _______!
When items appear to be haunted, it is because they were stolen and then sold off to someone else, if not to a series of buyers. It would be difficult, of course, to even attempt to trace the original owners; two of the items even seem to have been taken from a domestic temple in Binondo.
You do not have to dispose of the items. They are simply telling you that you've been intending to use them the wrong way, and that there is another way to use them while they are in your hands.
Here is what you should do:
1) Clean and polish the items.
2) Fill the vase 3/4 to the brim with salt water. (Since sea water is not easy to obtain from your location, tap water mixed with rock salt will do.)
3) Fill the coal burner 3/4 to the brim with dark wine.
4) Fill the incense burner 3/4 to the brim with fresh milk or extra virgin coconut oil.
Scry on the surfaces of all three in rotation as though they were crystal balls. You will receive images and messages. I AM SURE OF IT. Each vessel will impart a different type of communication.
You may keep all three if you feel that you have a need for all three.
Night falls under a dry sky in Cubao, and the halogen lamps on our street come on again. There is something sad about halogen lamps, for they are the color of a dying sunset, and they always remind me of myself before I retired, trudging home with other weary workers eager to come home to dinner and a night of rest.
Bought two, battery-operated toy cars running on lower tracks, slopes, upper tracks, and through a bridge and had nowhere to place it but in the ground-floor toilet and bathroom. I like placing motorized toys and toys that jingle and jangle in the bathroom. The toy cars on the tracks remind me of the hotel room I stayed in when I was in Brisbane under the auspices of the Australian Embassy. The windows from the bedroom and bathroom looked out on a highway, and I used to sit and watch the vehicles on the highway and the pedestrians on the pavement.
Dinner at home with Angelique and Aubrey.
Asked Lennoel to bring some food over to M.'s cafe staff.
M. sent me some puso ng na saging ukoy that Jay cooked. Interesting concoction.
Night chores.
My favorite time of the day has come again: an evening shower, and then spending some time with Bounty Hunter D and the Cheaters.
Also currently reading Herman Melville's "Benito Cereno" which is becoming, as I turn the pages, as grotesque as the short stories of Paul Bowles..
The Parolan Christmas Bazaar on the West End parking lot of Araneta Center is open once again. Can't wait to buy Vigan empanada, which I have learned to enjoy more than Christmas ham, and other goodies.

Back from jalan-jalan at the center. Changed money for the weekend, though our water bill hasn't arrived yet. Most of the shops that'd been closed over the past seven months are now open again.
Did something I haven't done for the longest time: had a mushroom and sausage omelette with cinnamon toast and iced tea at the Cubao Leaky Cauldron. According to the cashier it looks like they won't be producing 2021 planners.
