Feng Shui

FORTUNE

Sir!

Sir!

Here's your bread. I'll get your cupcakes.

Biring, is this all for twenty pesos?

There's nothing I can do about it.

-The cost of everything went up. -Here's your cupcake.

Is that yours?

Someone left it in the bus.

The Chinese call this ''bagua''.

It keeps away bad luck.

We have one right there.

That's why I think we're lucky.

But this one's an antique

with an unusual mirror.

It deflects bad spirits, so they can't harm us.

But this one, you shouldn't hang indoors.

-Instead… -Outdoors. I know.

I have a book on feng shui at home.

That's supposed to give you more luck, because you didn't buy it.

I hope so. I really need it.

-What's that? -There's an accident!

-I think someone got ran over -Help please!

Thank you, Nestor.

-At 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, as usual? -Yes, ma'am.

-Good night. -Good night.

These kids are impossible!

What's going on?

-There's a gecko, Daddy! -It's a slink, not a gecko.

It's harmless.

Where did you get that?

I got it from Billy for a pet.

It might bite.

Slinks are harmless.

It only eats grasshoppers.

I don't like grasshoppers!

I'm scared of grasshoppers.

Stop crying, okay?

Who's that kid?

He's our neighbor's son. Your son's playmate.

Is dinner ready? We're hungry.

It's okay, baby.

Why are there so many strange animals here?

There aren't any at Grandma's!

Get used to it, Ingrid.

We live here now.

Come on. Help me cook.

Denton, take that outside! Right now!

-Not in my laundry! -Yes, Mom!

-Nestor! -This fell from your things.

Good thing it didn't break.

You know, I look handsome in that mirror.

You can have this corned beef.

-It's my youngest's favorite! Thank you. -I wish you brought a dragon instead!

-Tomorrow, Nestor. -Thank you.

This tastes delicious!

You're a good cook.

Yours is different. It's full and tasty.

Where's your mother?

In Korea…

She's been a factory worker there for three years now.

My father's a cop, but they're separated.

Who do you live with at home?

Aunt Ellen,

my mother's sister, and Uncle Teodoro.

They're usually out.

What does your aunt do?

They just started a new business.

What business?

They sell pirated videos.

Good morning!

Be careful, Billy!

Joy, we're leaving now. You?

You know my schedule. Nestor will pick me up.

-Dad, I'll sit in front! -Use the seat belt.

Yes, Dad!

Ma'am?

Coming, Nestor!

Good morning, ma'am!

Let's go to the bank first, then to the bus stop, okay?

Yes, ma'am!

I almost won the lottery last night.

Just missed it by one number!

Don't you find it hard to adjust? Your place is far!

The new house takes getting used to…

but I can really see Inton is determined now.

I feel that we're really a family.

You know what's also great? In that house, it's just us.

Nobody meddles.

We're going.

Let's go.

Since you are full of positive energy today…

you'll enjoy recruiting possible members.

Since I am migrating to Canada…

I'm leaving them to you instead of giving them to others.

Alice, there are so many of them!

I might fail!

You can do it.

All right.

I'll cover you if you buckle.

I'll be there for you.

Let's go.

-Alice… -Come on! You can do it! Let's go.

Let's go inside.

Do you want to earn fast?

Then let's give a hand to my friend…

Joy Ramirez!

How's everybody doing? Can I request a smile?

Do you know why we should all smile?

Because all of us will soon be wealthy!

Denton?

Include this on the bill, okay?

Alice, I'll just take this pink one.

I'll return these three. I'm sorry.

-Good evening, ma'am! -How are you, Beth?

I'm fine, ma'am.

Mommy's here!

Where's your daddy?

He called and said he's still out with a client.

How's life in your new house?

Let's go home while it's early.

Go get your things!

Are you better off now?

-Can't we stay here longer, Mommy? -Unbelievable!

I wish your life finally improves in that house.

We have our own house. That's why we're going home.

Mommy, there are so many insects there!

Ingrid, don't be difficult.

Joy, they can sleep here while waiting for Inton.

Please tell Inton I picked up the kids.

Get your things now because a taxi's waiting!

We're taking a taxi?

So you are better off!

Blackout?

It can't be. There's light on the post.

Stay here, you two. Mommy will get the flashlight.

We should've slept at Grandma's.

Ingrid…

You're weird!

Guard, what are you doing there?

Just checking, ma'am.

The lights were on a while ago.

Seems there were people inside.

But when I approached, the lights went out.

How can that be?

-We just got home. -Who's that?

Can I borrow a spare fuse?

Okay, I'll check.

Mommy, my pet!

What happened to it?

I'm sorry, son.

-Sorry about your pet. -It's okay.

Mommy, something broke!

Pity. This was a gift from Aunt Thelma.

She said it attracts good luck.

I hope we don't get unlucky.

Daddy, my slink died.

-Then my basketball got lost. -Daddy, there was a blackout earlier.

There are more crickets now.

Inton, these two did nothing but complain the whole time.

Let's talk about that later.

Listen, your daddy got promoted.

I closed my 1.5 million contract with a ten percent commission.

We get 150,000!

You think you're the only one?

I did well too.

I exceeded my quota today.

Guess how much commission I got?

How much?

Won't you congratulate your mommy?

We're so lucky!

So I proved your mother wrong.

About what?

That I'm a burden in your life.

Don't be silly.

Daddy, look for my ball!

-Come, Ingrid. -Why me?

-Denton, your daddy hasn't eaten yet. -Daddy, please!

-Hey, we're eating! -Okay, i look for it.

Dad, did you find it?

I can't see a thing.

It can't have just disappeared.

Maybe it rolled to the far end.

I'll look for it when I have time.

Not now.

This is my list of prime clients.

I'm giving this to you here instead of at the office.

I don't want them to get envious.

Really? Thanks.

So this means you really won't be coming back?

I thought you'll just try it out in Canada.

Dado doesn't want us to be separated again.

Isn't that sweet?

If ever, we'll be back only for vacations.

Maybe in Laguna.

Why is the bagua on the door?

It will move and swing here.

Do you have a hammer?

The bagua is like an altar.

It should be fixed on the sturdiest part of the house.
