Chinese New Year! / myLot

January 28, 2025 7:31pm CST

Don't get me wrong, I'm a pure Filipino, but we celebrate Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year. We eat tikoi/tikoy, Hopia (Mooncake Filipino version), and the elderlies would give out ampaos (red envelope with money inside). This has been a tradition ever since, maybe it's because my family is a huge believer of feng shui (Chinese geomancy), and we also have friends who are Chinese, so that's why it became a custom to celebrate it. And the school I'm working at has Chinese students, so that's why we don't conduct classes every Chinese New Year. Happy Chinese New Year!

I have nothing against celebrating the Chinese New Year in fact, it is holiday in our country so it's part of our culture. I even bought a cake from SM Supermarket for the Chinese New Year. Enjoy.
