1. Don't sleep with damp hair; you'll go blind.
2. It's bad to trim your fingernails at night (If you ask why, the answer is: coz it's BAD!!!).
3. You have to take a nap in the afternoon to grow tall.
4. You will go blind if you play with yourself (I'm extremely near-sighted...is that the same?).
5. If you don't behave, the "mumu" will abduct you.

â€¢ Huwag mo kainin ang buto at tutubo yan sa tiyan mo. (Do not eat the seed because it will eventually grow like a tree in your stomach.)
â€¢ Santa Claus also. I discovered it on my second year already. LMAO. But still, I regretted it becuase I discovered it that early. LMAO again.

I swallowed a seed from the fruit santol. i got so scared because my dad told me a tree was going to grow in my stomach. i cried to sleep.

the next day i was still upset i tried to puke it out. My brother just told me, it won't grow to a tree since you don't have soil in your stomach..i got a bit relieved then...hehe..weird family ;)

another story was from my friend. he said he was so pesky while his dad was driving that his dad told him "look at the moon! its so mad at you for being too pesky it's following us". when he looked up it was there wherever they drove even if they've taken a left/right turn. from then on, he was always scared of the moon : )

One was about Santa Claus. I believed in his existence but eventually found out he doesn't really exist, only in stories told to children to make them behave and be good, otherwise, no presents on Christmas day. Another was about getting to college and being a professional; this is how your future will be, more of less, guaranteed secure. A fallacy. Not all college graduates and/or professionals get good jobs and have a nice, secured future.

There were a lot of things that, as a child, my father told me that I believed in but which, as an adult, I found were only fantasies or make-believe. These were stories meant to entertain an active and inquisitive mind of a child...mine.

That look doesn't matter. It does, you got a better chance of landing a good job if you're pretty. A rich husband if you're pretty. People will do things for you if you're pretty.
A lot of people will disagree but it is a reality. Take for example, when I was applying for a job in a electronic sector, there's two of us that was shortlisted. Almost the same qualification, but the other girl's qualification is more in keeping with the job entailed. We were interviewed by the prospective employer. I got the job. I thought it was luck but later found out from male collegue that the reason I was taken, the boss find me attractive and the other was not pretty but she was more qualified than me. I'm not that beautiful but I am pretty. I didn't have an affair with the boss, though.

But honestly, I still believe in them...no reason not to.
