2009 is here but for the chinese community their Chinese New Year will be on January 26, 2009. This year will be the year of the OX which is also known by its formal name of Yi Chou.

In the Philippine Chinese New Year is also celebrated by our chinese brothers and sisters. Is that of the year where you see red envelopes and chinese wears new red clothings to symbolize a the Chinese New year – Kung Hei Fat Choy. It is said that red will scare away evil spirits and bad fortune.

Before New Year’s Eve came I spent updating all of my blogs and made it as scheduled post for January first. But of course I still made it to play with fireworks with the kids.

Since it is still New Year’s day I’d like to greet and wish everyone a happy new year and may we all find the relaxation we all need this 2009. Let’s all strive to make this year even better that 2008.
