Actress Yasmien Kurdi said she believed in the so-called eclipse curse.
In her Facebook post, Yasmien said she followed all the procedures in preparation for the eclipse last April 8, 2024.
According to her, she didn’t go outside to avoid the curse and even installed curtains to prevent sunlight from entering her house.
However, Yasmien realized she made a huge mistake when she mistakenly thought the eclipse was over due to the time difference between the USA and the Philippines.
“Yesterday, sumunod ako sa mga payo ng karamihan na wag lumabas kasi eclipse…nag pa install pa nga ako ng mga curtina para walang pumasok na aninag ng araw sa loob ng bahay namin… hindi din ako dumungaw sa bintana… anyways, madaling araw pala ang eclipse sa Pinas, ginutom ako ng 1:07am,” she said.
“Nag order ako ng grocery tas lumabas ako ng bahay para kunin yung pinamili ko… nakalimutan ko na eclipse parin pala! OMG! kasi April 9 n… sabi niyo April 8 kaya naman dali dali si Pangga… nagulat ako kung bakit siya tumatakbo… bigla akong hinagisan ng bulaklak sa likod hahahahaha naligo naman din ako after, so I guess na save ako ni Pangga sa sumpa ng eclipse. Ayun lang,” she added.
According to the superstition, a total eclipse delivers negative energy and bad luck to anyone who goes outside during the celestial phenomenon.
