FORTUNE: (noun) things that happen or are to happen to a person in his or her life.
Do you believe in fortune telling?
Malas (misfortune) and swerte (fortunate) are just some of the Filipino beliefs where they depend their life of. They also believe in tadhana (destiny) and even to hula (). If something good happens to them, they will feel so "swerte", then "malas" if it's the other way around.
People's perspective to swerte is that whenever all the things are in favor of them, that they are not encountering any problems, when they are happy and contented. But when things or events are against them, they will look at them as malas. All the misfortunes are on them, that even their self-esteem and goals in life are affected.
These two things are also fixated to stuffs, such as lucky charms, fung shui experts' advices and more, where people rely on them, thinking that those things will guide their lives.
