Is Your "Undie" Lucky?

It all began when a rich man, in his office, suddenly showed me his red briefs! "Is it lucky?" he asked, since he learned it from Kris Aquino's TV show years ago. "How is your love life?" I asked him back. He had a long face for a reply. "So there," I told him. "Not everything on TV or what Kris says is gospel truth. Ask James Yap!"

Before fantasizing as a loin God or a lion in love, try loin shui! Or feng shui of underwear to enhance or enlarge luck in love and making it!

First, avoid any lion or tiger or panther or leopard designs on your underwear, be it a brand, logo or print. Not that you will be eaten delightfully but your life will be at steak… or rather stake! You might suffer the plight of the late Versace when it comes to love life. You "wear monkey and you get banana" rule applies in underwear luck harnessment. Even sexual harassment so to speak!

What makes an underwear lucky? Not red on Mondays or other color coding rituals. Simply wear your lucky feng shui colors based on your birthday's Chinese element. If a wood person wear any of 50 shades of green! Fire, reds, earth, yellow and brown or earth tones! Water, blue or black. metal, white or metallic shades. This is unisex too! So now you know.

Change is coming to your underwear war chest! Here are samplings of how it works:

An aspiring lady was metal. On her third try in the law bar exam she wore white undies. She passed, and got drafted as candidate for vice mayor in hometown and won. Further, she asked me in front of Sen. JV, "Pare, white pa rin ba dapat panty ko?" I replied, "Forever!" Now she is happily married to a governor!

For his part, JV learned black is his lucky color. No wonder he allied with Binay back then? Joke! You naman! He doesn't wear panty.

Another case was a would-be immigrant who wore green bra and lingerie at her US-embassy interview and succeeded!

A nursing examinee in Cebu wore her lucky red bra and panty during the exams, and her copycat batch mates did the same. But only she alone passed. Why? Red was not her batch mates' lucky color.

Color therapy is best felt in underwear feng shui. Red is often used versus elemental attacks by dwarves or voodoo sorcery. But use colors wisely in underwear. Urban legend has it that in his early years on the way to becoming a taipan, this captain of industry wore yellow-orange undershirt to his jusi barong. He looked so barriotic or "baduy" that bankers or businessman he negotiated with dumbly agreed to what he asked of them, thinking they were superior to him.

By sartorial or fashion trend, yes, the man's garb was "baduy," but unknowingly to them, he was using feng shui to succeed by wearing his lucky-color undershirt despite looking dumb. So, when it comes to wearing lucky undies, as any investment banker from Harvard or Standford and Wharton will advice: In playing God, it pays well to play dumb!
