I spent my new year with my family and we had pork bar-b-q, pancit and spring rolls. My sister and I bought a chocolate roll cake f and it was sumptuous as usual. It was a quiet new year in our parents house since we’re 45 minutes away from the city so just imagine how we’re so far away from the all the noise. I had dose of coffee morning of the 31st so I did not really felt sleepy until t’was late in the aftie. That was about 6pm that slumberland started calling me and then I dozed off but woke up around 11pm so I was just on time for the countdown.
We watched couple of movies during the afternoon of 31st. my sister and I watched the sorcerer’s apprentice and captain America. welcome 2012!
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, which begins on January 23, 2012 and ends on February 9, 2013. The Dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 Animal signs. The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. In ancient China, the celestial Dragon represents an emperor and power. Today, it is the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying success and happiness. May the celestial Dragon bring great good luck to everyone.
In Sung Dynasty (a Chinese imperial dynasty lasting from AD 960 - 1279) texts, the dragon is described as having the head of an ox, muzzle of a donkey, eyes of a shrimp, horns of a deer, body of a serpent covered with fish scales, and feet of a phoenix. The dragon usually clutches a pearl symbolic of its super-natural powers. Invariably accompanied by thunder and rain, dragons move like lightning and whirlwinds - - all powerful yet totally unpredictable.
Have a prosperous new year ‘ya all!!!
