It's a very common & popular superstition in the Philippines to wear polka dots or apparel with round print on them on New Years Eve. Why? According to them (& to the Chinese apparently), polka dots & round objects is good luck & symbolic of money. I usually wear them every year...with the hope of having more luck &/or gaining more money. At some points throughout the year it comes true! and of course at others it makes me more & more of a non-believer.
Yet it makes me wonder...if that was true, would it be possible to bring this country out of it's financial misery? If certain superstitions were in fact for real, could it be powerful enough to raise us up from the country's rock bottom?
The only thing true to my heart is the power & grace of God. Many through this year have either gotten closer to their faith, or have grown distant. Unanswered prayers? false hope? The reality is this: Prayers are meaningless if you just sit there expecting. Get up & do something about it. God works in mysterious ways & answers prayers when you least expect them.
So whether you believe in the power of polka dots or not, keep your faith alive & do all that you possibly can to make your prayers reality. Happy New Years Eve.
Maraming salamat sa Diyos...mahal na mahal kita Bro.
