Don’t buy a house at a T-intersection; it’s a bad omen

Miguel:
Dude, I’m telling you… don’t take that house. It’s right at a T-intersection! Bad omen. The whole street’s energy will crash straight into your front door.

Ramon:
Energy? Bro, it’s a road, not a spiritual bowling alley.

Miguel:
You laugh now, but my aunt swears her neighbor’s house at a T-intersection had nonstop problems—car accidents, money issues, even her son’s break-up! Everything went downhill after they moved there.

Ramon:
Okay, first of all, every family has problems. You can’t blame the road. If a breakup is caused by a T-intersection, then half the country is doomed.

And second—accidents happen because of bad road design or bad driving, not because some mystical force is aiming at your house like a laser.

Miguel:
You don’t get it. The road directly facing the house brings “misfortune energy.” It’s like… all the bad vibes rush straight to the door. Feng shui, bro!

Ramon:
Feng shui is mostly about design and comfort, not curses. And if we’re talking science—there is one real concern: cars that might accidentally overshoot the road. But the house I showed you has guard rails, speed bumps, and even a tree in front. Worst-case scenario, a tricycle bumps the tree and the tree shrugs.

Miguel:
Still… I don’t want to wake up at 3 a.m. and see headlights shining directly into the living room like a horror movie. What if that attracts bad luck?

Ramon:
That’s not bad luck, that’s just bad curtains. Buy blackout curtains, not superstition.

Miguel:
You always say that—“science this, science that.” But why do so many Filipinos avoid T-intersection houses if it’s not real?

Ramon:
Because traditions stick. Like how people still shake coins in their pockets on New Year’s Eve. It’s comforting, but it doesn’t prove anything. If T-intersection houses were truly cursed, banks and real estate developers wouldn’t touch them. Yet plenty of families live happily in those homes.

Miguel:
Hmm… well, my Lola used to warn us about T-intersections. She said the road “cuts the luck.” And Lola’s beliefs never failed her!

Ramon:
Your Lola also believed that sweeping the floor at night sweeps away your fortune. But didn’t she sweep every evening because she couldn’t stand a dirty sala?

Miguel:
…Okay, fine, but that’s different.

Ramon:
Exactly. We pick and choose superstitions depending on convenience. If the house is good, safe, and affordable, you shouldn’t say no just because Google Maps draws a little T in front of it.

Miguel:
You really think it’s safe?

Ramon:
Yes! It’s safer than half the houses I’ve seen you consider. Remember the place next to the barangay karaoke kings? That was the real bad omen—eternal “My Way” at full volume.

Miguel:
Ugh, true. That place cursed my eardrums.

Ramon:
So there. Buy the house because it’s practical, not because of imaginary bad luck. And if you’re still worried, I’ll buy you a huge lucky plant and put it by the door. Science plus tradition. Hybrid solution.

Miguel:
You know what… maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m letting the superstition scare me. The house is nice. And the kitchen is big enough for my adobo experiments.

Ramon:
There you go! A house chosen with logic—and a little adobo-based motivation.

Miguel:
Still buying the lucky plant, though.

Ramon:
Bro, I’ll buy you a forest if it makes you relax.
