On June 10 (Saturday)
Kasuy,
Gigi,
and I were supposed to watch this dance-monologue at the CCP. At the
last minute we were informed by Direk Chris that he had misinformed me
the first time and that the event was actually for 3pm the day after.
By the time we found out we were already on the road. So, rather than
go home and do nothing, we (with
Jon in tow) decided to go to greenhills instead.
First thing we did - go to this KTV place and bawled and croaked for 2 hours.
Then we went to Figaro for a cup o' coffee and some conversation. While
having coffee I asked Kasuy if she wanted to go to Fully Booked (which
was on the same floor) and pick out her birthday gift. She said "SURE!"
so off we went!
First we went to the sci-fi/fantasy section.
Disaster! There were too many things we wanted to get that we couldn't
settle on anything in particular! To make it easier on ourselves we
decided to go to our other favorite section, the NEW AGE section on the
3rd floor.
When we got there the book selection wasn't that
extensive, just ok. Kasuy and I initially chose this book on reading
and writing Egyptian Hieroglyphs as her present but as soon as we saw
the tarot decks we were transfixed! There were just so many and they
were all so beautiful! We each saw a couple that we really liked. They
say that for a tarot deck to work properly for you, you should not buy
it yourself. It should be given to you as a gift. After oohing and
aahing for a few minutes we both decided to get each other tarot decks
for our respective birthdays.
I got Kasuy the Tarot of the Mermaids, which she chose for the artwork. If you want to see more of the artwork click
HERE.
The cover art is The Magician card. At first I pointed her to the
Vampire deck, then to the Nefertari deck, which used to be her default
choices. Apparently, Kasuy is not as dark and gothic as she used to be.
For
my belated birthday Kasuy got me the Tarot of the Gnomes. I, too, chose
the deck for the artwork. The cover art is the King of Pentacles which
represents Success! This deck is just too CUTE!
To see samples of the cards click
HERE. I think this deck suits me well. It certainly appeals to my sense of humor and love for fantasy and middle earth.
This
deck is cute and fun and easy to use as it comes with a newbie guide on
each card. You can use it for regular readings or simply to make short
stories. The world of the gnomes is simply fascinating!
