some superstitions and beliefs in the Philippines relating to death... and I don't know if this is true... check them out... and maybe you can share some of yours superstitions .....

1. If a black butterfly lingers around a person, it means that one of his relatives has just died.

3. One must not organize teams of 3 or 13, otherwise one member will die.

4. Eating sour fruits at night will cause the early death of one’s parents.

5. At a funeral, not all members of the family should be allowed to look at the face of the dead person. If they do, he will visit them and all of them will die.

6. If a sick person on his way to the hospital meets a black cat, he will die.

7. If someone smells the odor of a candle when there is no candle burning, one of his relatives will die.

8. If one dreams that one of his teeth is being uprooted or pulled out, a member of his family will die.

1. If a black butterfly lingers around a person, it means that one of his relatives has just died.

Yeah. People (some) believe that black butterflies are souls of dead relatives or somebody close to your heart.

6. If a sick person on his way to the hospital meets a black cat, he will die.

I am not aware of this but it is a belief that if you are about to go out and a black cat crosses the street then something bad will happen (accidents and the likes).

7. If someone smells the odor of a candle when there is no candle burning, one of his relatives will die.

A candle or flower (like the funeral flower) odor means a dead relative wants to remind you about their presence in your life. They said it is usually happening if the soul wants a prayer or want you to visit the graveyard.

8. If one dreams that one of his teeth is being uprooted or pulled out, a member of his family will die.

They said so. I believe so. It happened to me not just once. Coincidence? Perhaps.

10. During a wedding the one whose candle goes out first will be the first of the couple to die.

I am not so sure about this one but old people believe so. What if it is an outdoor wedding and it is windy?

12. When a group of three have their picture taken, the one in the middle will die first.

Old people said such thing. They are strictly prohibiting us to take pictures in three.

My friends,

When I was just a little tyke, I followed Caloy Loyzaga in his glory days. Needless to say, he was my favorite athlete at the time, and I hollered at every hoop he made and gloated at each rebound he grabbed. Then, in my early teens, I adored Flash Elorde with every knockdown he scored in the ring, and later, in the late sixties, my attention was focused on Robert Jaworksi, basketball legend turned politico, and a classmate of mine at the University of the East. The three guys mentioned above were by favorite athletes when I was still in the Philippines.

I came to America 35 years ago, and I began to lose track of the sports in the home country. My eyes, nose and ears were then glued to the National Pastime; matter of fact, I was at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum for a World Series game between the Dodgers and the A's in 1974. During my early years here in the good old U. S. of A., I learned to like Pete Rose and Catfish Hunter. Lee Trevino, Johnny Miller and Rick Barry were also on my short list of revered superstars. Oh, man, I'm old, but hello, knees, don't give up yet; please allow me to marry my ex- sister in law!

Those were the days when my stars were bright. Now, I reckon my teams are going south as the Padres are close to the cellar and the Chargers just lost in their season opener.
