Kung Hei Fat Choi to Everyone!!!!

Today is Chinese New Year and heralds the Lunar New Year of the Water Dragon, a once in every 60 years occurrence. The dragon is perceived as a mystical and auspicious creature in Chinese cultures and this year is expected to bring prosperity and transformational change. For the first time, the Philippines celebrate the Chinese New Year as a non-working holiday throughout the country. It is one of the most revered and festive events celebrated not only in China but also in the Philippines by both Chinese- Filipinos and ordinary Filipinos as well.


Aside from business, Chinese influence is also pervasive in other aspects of our lives. We celebrated the chinese new year at Festival Mall and Alabang Town Center where i bought Tikoy, a chinese ricecake also believed to bring good luck. Other Pinoys join in Chinese New Year celebrations by partaking of Chinese food, checking Chinese horoscope and consulting feng shui experts before engaging in any activities this year.
