Ulog #4: The Butterfly Superstition & Granny's Healthylicious Banana Pancake
Welcome to:
Earlier this morning while in the middle of making banana pancake (a healthy pancake recipe that I learned from my Grand mother) for breakfast, me and my husband heard a weird noise from the living room. When I check it out, I noticed a brown orangey monarch butterfly flying behind the curtains.
What made the butterfly’s appearance strange is that our apartment unit is on the fifth floor and all glass windows were closed. So how did this butterfly get inside?
In Philippines, a butterfly that flies into the house symbolizes the spirit of our love ones who passed away. Remember that a butterfly is also a symbol of transformation. From a caterpillar to a beautiful flying creature. Isn't it a coincidence that my Grandma was in my thoughts while preparing our breakfast and then this butterfly showed up?
It's probably my Granny greeting us a good morning and checking out if how's the banana pancake doing :D
According also to the World of Feng Shui, a butterfly in the home is a sign of good luck.
However, this is just a superstition. The best way to our good luck is to create and achieve them!

Pancakes look awesome, which reminds me I should eat by now, but I still didn't.
