alice29 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. The Chinese year 4709 begins on Feb. 3, 2011. Chinese months are reckoned by the lunar calendar, with each month beginning on the darkest day. New Year festivities traditionally start on the first day of the month and continue until the fifteenth, when the moon is brightest. In China, people may take weeks of holiday from work to prepare for and celebrate the New Year. B)
pjbabia Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Happy New Year! Kung Hei Fat Choi to all Chinese and to all who celebrate new year!... now it is the year of rabbit.. I wonder whats waiting for me ahead.
alice29 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 maybe you should search for it, it depends on what year you were born. it's the chinese zodiac sign which composed of 12 animals. mine is rooster.
pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 ok, i made a few searched, well, it would be just another boring year for me ahead, but there are also instance where it would be a bit exciting and a bit challenging for me,.
alice29 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 really, that's the result of your search? i wonder whats your sign. :wacko: if it said a boring year ahead of you then go break that prediction by doing more exciting things this year. anyway it depends on what we do and not a hundred percent on these signs lol. :biggrin:
pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 ya, i actually do not believe in such "predictions" from horoscopes. they are a bunch of crap. they do not tell truth and if it hits you, its just a coincidence because what is written there is generalized...
alice29 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 yeah you can say that but did you know that most girls believe on it lol. some of my facebook friends even added the application. so about chinese new year, have you watched a live lion dance as it related to this event. :smile:
pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 no, i havent seen a real live lion danced.. i think it is amusing to see a lion dance.. do you have a video about it? maybe il search in youtube later..no wonder why girls like horoscope in such a way that they add facebook apps about horoscopes.. and it shocked me when i saw some of my male friends actually do have those apps in facebook...Olala!
alice29 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 hahaha, are they really male or female? :rolleyes: you must be thinking of their real gender now lol. well it's just an image of a lion made with cloth and then persons will go inside it and make it dance. they say if you have seen it live then you'll get lucky that year. :rolleyes:
pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 no, its not lion. i guess you are talking about dragon.. it is a chinese dragon dance... they practice a lot especially during new year and in places where there is a filipino- chinese community...
alice29 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 no, its not lion. i guess you are talking about dragon.. it is a chinese dragon dance... they practice a lot especially during new year and in places where there is a filipino- chinese community... no it's the lion dance, thats what they call it, if you search for the images you'll see it. there is fil-chinese community here but it's far from where i live. :biggrin:
pjbabia Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 really? i thought you are talking about dragon dance.. i just learn now the difference between dragon dance and lion dance. dragon dance have longer tail and it involves a lot of human to perform probably 3-6 people. while lion dance has only two persons.
alice29 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 really, didnt know about that one pj, did you search for it? or some of your chinese friends told you? both are being done in new year right. they go from one store to another. :smile:
