Oracle of the Cards
Mood:
"I lay my deck flat as I split it up and shuffle it. I shuffle it so many times till they can feel my aura. I divide them into three separate piles and stack them up again. As I draw three topmost cards, alas, the Oracle is fulfilled…"
Sounds like fortune telling, indeed. But for me, it’s like another Magic: The Gathering duel.
"I place a land, a mountain then I said ‘Done’."
I rarely believe in such fortune telling, but hey, I am a clairvoyant myself sometimes. I wished I have my own Tarot deck.
Last Tuesday, another house party was held, again it was at Noey’s place at Greenhills East Subdivision for the Gamer Clan’s One Year Anniversary. I enter the closest gate to EDSA then I meet the people I never meet within some short period of time. It was Kei. And I hope his girlfriend, Madi was with him inside. The gang waited for him to finish smoking. Then we came in. I was so amaze to see whose inside: A bunch of new people from Gamer Clan. I tell you, if every one of these people swims simultaneously, the entire pool will be overpopulated. I showed them off my new collection of signatures for the forums, including those on my last post in my blog. Everyone were having fun as I begin to jump on my swimming attire until Noey’s grandmother enters the scene telling us off that we make such a lot of noise, the neighborhood were reprimanding us. Almost all of us stopped and ceased even stopped swimming. Then her aunt entered too, questioning us why she has so many friends that were guys and if are all of these people are invited. Noey becomes powerless and cried while some of the girls stand by her side and comforts her. Good thing, RG speaks for us as her aunt interrogates us like the FBI’s doing to suspects. As if we were loosing the will to swim because of the commotion made by her two relatives. But what can we do, we must still enjoy for Noey’s sake. Then I talked to Noey if she did the things necessary, because we are inside a private subdivision and the guards must have know that we are celebrating the GC’s Anniversary at Noey’s place. She told me that she did informed, and her grandmother and aunt was only making stories after all. I did not comment, and made the conclusion, she’s going to be fine. Sometimes, I can’t understand anymore of the elderly people. After some few while, we never feel these two auras and continue to swim. Kei invited me to smoke with him, with Madi and Sonar. Then we talk about a project we ought to accomplish and I was marveled with some of the revelations from Kei. Night falls, we returned inside. We enjoyed talking much about our religion (for Yui came out also followed by Shawn and Koji) and some other stuff. As I return to the pool, the Waterboys Nightshift was born and amuses all of the non-swimming people. I hope somebody upload these wholesome and amusing ala sentai videos in You Tube. The party has come to an end. Her father came and asks Noey if we enjoyed the night. Of course we say yes, in spite of the dilemma earlier. Then her mother was there, still supporting us. Then I politely ask Noey the box of Magic Trading Cards like she promised us. Then she did. When she returns with the box, her aunt came back and tells her off things that made her cry again, hurting her with such words ‘I wont appreciate it if you are going to tell me that I am mistaken’. Obviously her aunt is guilty about it. Then her friends comfort her again. I felt something that is not sympathy but deeper. It seems that I am the one who’s ashamed. But to hell with it, all that matters is that she’s alright. Then we left the palace-like house, saying our last goodbyes for the night. Then all of us parted near Robinson’s Galeria. I have her box of Magic Trading Cards inside my bag. As we came in Galas, Karl and I came with Yui to his place, and it seems safe, someone’s out. There we check the cards, along with Chi, Yui’s brother figure. Then they constructed trash decks. Karl made a trash deck somehow a pain in the ass. It’s quite strong as we test it out. Then by four thirty in the morning, we retire for the day. My head’s aching because of too much chlorine in my head. The next day, I left at afternoon, after taking a glance at Gamer Clan.
Thursday, I came to Nash’s place. I found Shobe and Ron there. Good thing Ron has arrived from Davao. It seems like a get together, but I need to depart by the afternoon. As Ron and I talked, I learned something from him around me. Then we parted at the LRT 1 station. Just within forty five minutes I arrived at Megamall to meet up with Roy, for he will help me along with Karl with the props. I found no one in Food Court so I decided to look at Club Synergy. There was Jbob, playing SVC Chaos, and ask him to text Roy. So we did. After beating the game, Roy replied and told us that they were at the Food Court already. So we came and there they are, Jeff, Roy, Ianne, Sonar and Noel. After sometime spending at the place, we left Megamall and head for Shangri La to loiter. Sonar head straight home. As time flies, Ianne felt thirst and asks us to drink water from a nearby restaurant. So we did, after that, Roy mentioned about the five hundred bucks he saw while walking along with Sonar, Luna and me. So we manage with our luck to find another one again, but it was in vain. Upon hearing this, Jeff enters 7 Eleven shop and asks us which snack we want. With the root beer in hand, he get his wallet and brought up a thousand bucks. And did treat us all. With such enjoyment we eat at the side of Shangri La. After having fun snacking, we played wall walking like Prince of Persia. Then we head home. Noel invited me again to his place along with Roy. Then Nash text me that she’ll call me at home, but as I arrive to his place, I texted her that I am at the different place and I give her Noel’s number so she can call and she did. We were chatting for hours as Roy and Noel played with their celphone’s composer, composing Ai No Shirushi by Puffy AmiYumi. Then we take a break.
Next morning, no I mean afternoon we wake up, we eat and prepare for departure, but something was pulling us… we were sitting next to the TV and got us entertained. Wrestling, Anime and some, till we watched Chobits in Animax. Roy, I and Noel found these lines disturbing:
"The one that’s the one for me can touch me (Chii-chan takes Hideki’s hand and place it in her ‘switch’) and the only one who can come to me…"
What the fuck!! We laugh our asses out!! The meaning’s quite solid for the malicious ones. Now that’s what we call a punchline that knocks out totally. Then after eating again, we left. Sometimes, I cannot tolerate Noel’s hospitality anymore… he’s to kind to us. I should return the favor.
Ah, Sabbath. Again. I have plenty of bucks here to spend. I reached Megamall, and found only a few there.Then one by one they came. Sonar, Yui and Karl came from SM North, with some of the PinoyCosplay members. They are also having an EB there, which totally divided us up. The GC gang, Noey, Aren, Cheng, along with the happy and loud boys, Andrew, Aaron, Louis, Ianne were there. Kei with his brother Cholo were there and some of the girls, Tessa, Liz and to name some few. WAA People were there plus some from FilCosplay. It seems that day is totally messed up. I dunno why, I just felt that something’s missing that day. It was incomplete, until Roy came and others. It’s kinda getting better though. Jet and Jade were there, Noel is been dating Elise and so forth. Then some of us, Roy, Sonar, Ric, Kei, Cholo decided to head to Robinson’s Galeria for some Drummania action. Just for a peso. Yeah, a peso works in the DM machine there. No need for tokens of seven bucks each. After enjoying the game, we returned to Megamall then played more. I approached my fellow Deviant Artist from the DA Meat. One of them, a fellow artist, Lico was making a Tarot reading so I decided to try it out. First, what would happen to me in the first five years. I separated the deck into three piles and he does his thing:
Current State: Two of Wands
Obstacle: Three of Swords (I dunno, I forgot… )
Outcome: Four of Cups
Interpretation: I would be thinking of traveling, plans of going abroad, then something would cross my path resulting me to not acknowledging the graces I am receiving. Sounds right, but it is happening to me now. That means, after five years, these problems will be still present? No way, thanks for the reading, I can now control it. Next I ask him to read my general reading for the present:
Current State: Queen of Wands
Obstacle: The Moon
Outcome: Justice
Interpretation: A female figure will guide me, help me in my career, and then a supernatural or an invisible force will cross my path. But still, Karma will work in my favor. Lico said, it is very strange, because something supernatural appeared in his reading, along with Karma. Strange, indeed. And I hope this reading is perfect (and turns out to be good). I thought it pertains to my friends, about the woman I will choose to love but… enough of that. I always think of myself as the Justice Card I draw.
After the reading, we go to Time Zone to play another session. Jet started to cheering Roy with the newly found Tamayura Gun that made us laughing our asses out. After that we went to Shangri La, for Jet is looking for her sister, Jade. After staying for while and letting her eat after a tragedy happened to her earlier about classroom nemesis, we left. Jet and I talk about some Magic Trading Cards tricks for spiting decks. Then we all parted. I head to Galas to find what’s going on, but unfortunately nothing’s going on. Karl were there, informing that we must work on well on Lexy’s canon. She’ll join the National Cosplay Competition, so do I… (Prepare to meet another High Priestess in action!!) Then Markel and Shawn arrived and we all talked together about certain matters, like new arcade games. Guilty Gear XX Slash is now out on PS2. Twelve in the midnight already, we decided to go home. Another Sabbath has ended.
I just remembered the Tarot cards Lico have drawn for me last Sabbath. Now, I am bothered about the ‘invisible/supernatural force’ that would cross my path but still manage to overcome. I have just recalled some people conspiring me to destroy my name in the community. Now doubts again circulated in my mind. Who would be this people? Are they the same well established people I know in the community months ago that dumped me? Or that fucking horse that my intuition says that he’s the same person who PMed me in a different account, spying me right now? Or a far greater threat that would return to the community from the depths of the Core? I got plenty in mind. The placidity was lost, replaced with doubt. But the last card is a trump. Maybe I should stay like this, calm and gentle, keeping Lico’s words, Karma will work in my favor. Hopefully.
