DON'T FORGET THE DOMINGO 7. THOSE ARE THE LUCKY DAYS

Well, ur talking to the superstition princess here.  The Domingo 7, that's for real.  I have a story about that.  Before I got pregnant with my first daughter, a friend and I went to a baby shower.  We bought the gift together.  We'll at the baby shower our gift was picked 7th.  They say that when ur gift comes up as the 7th in a baby shower it means u'll be the next one pregnant.  My friend and I were like "no, not us, no way".  Well the baby shower was in April, In May I found out I was pregnant.  And the most shocking thing is that my friend had been told by the doctor that she couldn't have kids.  We'll guess what.  In July she found out she was pregnant.  And my daughter was born on a 7th.  See, the number 7 has amazing powers.  I know a lot of friends who got the 7th gift at the baby shower and they ended up pregnant. Coincidence????

BTW - Martes 13 is bad luck in Colombia too.  But my mom was born on a 13th and she says that's actually a lucky number for her.

DON'T FORGET THE DOMINGO 7. THOSE ARE THE LUCKY DAYS

          ES una bracelet de coral the coral or red helps divert the mal de ojo away from you because the red distracts the eye! they say that when ur pregnant and new born to always wear something red cuz it causes the "maldicion" to direct and fall on red!

         They also say to wear gold porke si te estan haciendo brujeria te calle en el oro and doesnt affect you. So if u are were gold y se te parte then that means that somebody tried to do brujeria on u!

This actually happened to me when I was a baby, my mon had to baptized me because I almost died and up to this day she think que alguien did this ("mal de ojo" o aojamiento).

That's right! I didn't think about that ... Here is something interesting:

• Mencionar o formular verbalmente cualquier cosa no deseable o desgraciada.

• Escuchar el nombre de un getattore (aojador, gafe, cenizo o persona que transmite "mala suerte").
  
• Ser víctima de un "trabajo" de vudú o magia negra.
  
• Rezar con las piernas cruzadas.
  
• Usar ciertas "cábalas" para eximirse en un examen académico, ganar una competencia o ayudar a ganar al equipo deportivo favorito. Por ejemplo usar la misma ropa (como la ropa interior o una camisa, etc.) o realizar la misma actividad (como repetir la posición relativa de varios amigos sentados en un sillón viendo un partido de fútbol en la televisión) que cuando en el pasado se obtuvo un resultado favorable.
  
• Pisar en primer lugar con el pie izquierdo al levantarse.
  
• Casarse o embarcarse un martes 13.
  
• Bautizar a un barco el mismo nombre que tiene otro barco.
  
• Sentarse a comer 13 personas a la mesa (por La Última Cena de Jesús con sus discípulos).
  
• Estornudar (sólo durante la Edad Media).
  
• Abrir un paraguas bajo techo, dentro de una casa.
  
• Que se caigan las tijeras con el pico abierto.
  
• Hacer girar un objeto.
  
• Mirar fijamente a una persona ("mal de ojo" o aojamiento), que desde entonces sufre mala salud periódicamente o muere. Se documenta desde la época romana.
