Learn To Shut Your Mouth, Woman

We had new curtains installed at home. The woman-in-charge and her workmen came to do up the flat. I wasn't home. The man's mom was taking care of it. The curtain woman was in our room. Apparently, she had this tone of horror as she told the man's mom that our bed shouldn't be facing the window. She didn't explain why or how or what would happen. But she was convinced that it was tragic for us to do that.

I bet you that the mom felt uneasy all afternoon after hearing that. Anyway, the mom came to talk to me about it to see how I felt about that statement. I dissed it. Of course. For that one claim by the silly curtain woman, I googled and found over 25 refuting statements from international geomancy institutes and sites on ways to 'block' the whatever bad energy received from having a bed face the window.

The man's mom and I read those ways of prevention very thoroughly. We realized that in the room, we had all these suggestions done already. Unknowingly. Because yours truly here placed things in the room according to faerie instincts. The man's mom definitely felt better after that. So the bed is staying where it is.

I'm a little more than mildly annoyed with the curtain woman. I'm not happy that she made the man's mom nervous and a little scared about a thing that has never ever occurred to her.

1. Don't bring your fengshui beliefs into a household that doesn't follow it.

2. Don't make sweeping statements. And don't make stupid suggestions blindly if you don't know your fengshui.

3. It's none of your blardy business.

As a young girl, I've always been ultra sensitive to vibes in a house. I've always been sensitive to my feelings and surroundings. I've demanded hotel room changes simply because I didn't like the vibe in some.

Fengshui is just not my thing. I place the furniture in my house according to the vibes I feel in ratio to how comfortable I am. If I want my bed to face the window, I shall have it facing the window. Since we shifted in, it has brought the man and I nothing but good luck, love, harmony and riches.

I'm not shifting my blardy bed just because it doesn't adhere to some random woman's beliefs. However, should the man's mom be still worried about it, I am quite prepared to shift the bed to whatever other position necessary.

And after that, I might just go slit the curtain woman's throat.

in theory all the bad fengshui can be negated by whatever placement, additional decor whatever. so no need to worry. can 'solve' one.

the woman ought to have learnt some manners. did no one teach her that?

she should work in a hotel and be advisor to all placement of furniture in the rooms.

what queenie said is right. u can counter them.

when i got my own apartment, i got a fengshui guy over too. why not? just to play safe. nothing major, very minor adjustments.

mamabok: hahaha. nah. but it was a very fun idea to think about.

kuro shiro neko: GROWL!

lms + elaine: agreed!

queenie + cavalock: from the furious research last night and this morning, i'm fairly sure that the whatever bad effects have been neutralized already. not consciously so. but through our unconscious placement of things in the room anyway, something that we do to our liking.

andrew: i wonder.

fern + dee: exactly.

meteor: HA!

i find it amazing the number of otherwise sophisticated rational people who live their lives paralyzed by mumbo-jumbo practices dictated by charlatans.

sinlady: when it comes to beliefs, it's so vague, yet so real to believers.
