Kung Hei Fat Choi!
Another new year to celebrate, a Chinese New Year but almost all Filipinos are celebrating it too! Maybe because there are a lot of Tsinoys in the country and we in a way embraced their many traditions.
I missed Tikoy for years now, it’s a must in a Chinese New Year celebration. Tikoy or nian gao means ‘higher year” in Chinese and eating it would mean a better year.
Have you seen a Dragon Dance? Dragons are mythical and symbolic creature in the Chinese mythology. The Dragon Dance is said to bring prosperity and good luck, so the longer the dragon means more blessings.
Feng Shui is another tradition. There are Feng Shui for almost anything such as location (of house, furniture, etc), decors, charms, lucky color, number, day, etc.
Will 2012 the year of the Water Dragon be lucky or not?
We are all responsible for our lives, lucky or not, just persevere and your efforts will be rewarded.
Yeah I do believe too that we are responsible for our own lives. I dont believe in luck, for me whatever happens in our lives are the by product of our decisions and choices.
We are all responsible for our lives, lucky or not, just persevere and your efforts will be rewarded. – I believe in this too! We create our destiny.. not based on astrology or what-have-you!
agree with your last statement. we do create our own luck…and I miss tikoy too hehe. Happy Year of the Water Dragon Yuuki! <3
