KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!

On January 23,2012 ,Chinese New Year will be celebrated. Declared non working Holiday, by the Malacanang Palace. Excited? yes I am  because it’s an extra time for me. Anyway, whenever Chinese New Year comes. It is common that we see dragon dance as one of Chinese tradition.Nowadays , we are privilege to witness in more socialize places like shops  and park this kind of presentation . We do enjoy watching the dragon dance performed in group inside the long dragon mascot. To us, the colorful dance would only  mean entertainment  but to our Chinese brothers and Sisters that follows this tradition,Dragon dance is more than just  a dance that gives entertainment and smile  to everyone watching the show.

And so to have also a deeper knowledge about the dragon dance I went to consult mr.wikipedia for more details. And per information ,

The Dragon Dance itself originated during the Han Dynasty and was started by the Chinese who had shown great belief and respect towards the dragon. It is believed to have begun as part of the farming and harvest culture, also with origins as a method of healing and preventing sickness. As the dragon gives people a feeling of great respect, it is often called the Sacred Dragon. The emperors of ancient China considered themselves as the dragon. The Dragon is also the emblem of Imperial Authority. It symbolizes supernatural power, goodness, fertility, vigilance and dignity.

Now I know, so tomorrow if I  see a group of skilled people dancing in the tune of the famous dragon  I will remind myself how this dance was originated and the reason behind it is being dance in most of Chinese festive.Kung Hei Fat Choi!

TECHIE THING

There is no permanent in this world , all things will come and go. This is true in our technology today now there will be a new stuff that seems to make our being want it then come another time that stuff is no longer in the lime light because a new  thing is introduced in the market, that is five times the features and capability of the old one. But it is not always like that because some stays to last to serve the needs of the computer generation. Just like the gps truck tracking  that I heard my father was discussing with his friend online. You see, even my father that I least expect to have knowledge on those techie stuff has surprised me. Internet has brought me to conclusion that even my old is discovering. His age did not stop him from learning. Nice one Pap!.

SMILING FIGURE

First month of the year is almost half way , while tomorrow it is the Chinese New Year , this afternoon while heading home I passed by a group of people participating the activity  booth for the Chinese New Year. That must be exciting and fun but because I have some errands to do I went my way with my eyes busy observing the crowds. And just when I am about to go down the stairs  an old  man with a hat smiled at me dearly so to my curiosity I slowly look back to see if there’s a familiar figure he might, and after I have confirmed  that the smile was meant for me , I return the gesture with  a conservative smile, thinking maybe he might have known me for somebody else. Well, the pleasure is mine, It’s not everyday stranger would give you a sincere smile.

Time to assess myself as early as now, Here is the list of symptoms that might have say on fear of criticism.

BOOKISH

Having a decision of going through hardship when everything seems to be fine and favorable ,means stepping out in faith for me. But since I have a goal, I believe the situation will help me be  victorious.  I have set my mind for bigger challenge this year, so I ask God for strength, endurance and wisdom.

Since the review class has begun for a month now , I know I have so many things to do, specially reading and understanding the topics downloaded by our reviewer. I want to maximize my time, time is of essence to me which is why I have been looking for an e-book-readers that I can install in my portable gadget, in that way I could have a look on the topics without bringing all those bulky handouts that the review school is providing us every time.

MIND POWER

Reminding myself as early as possible of this year, my mind is overwhelm. If I may describe it that way, since tend to procrastinate most of the time even if I am aware of the consequences , still the hard headed me overpower the mind’s reasoning. I needed a boast and encouragement before I totally be dis organize this early. Thank God, some books are truly made to wake up your senses. Meaning, I get up and have that confidence and composure in me, plus the discipline , desire and prayer I think there would be no more reason for me to just seat and watch for my own fate.

To share some uplifting recommendation for H. Eker. According to him, practice thinking and creating ways of having both. And whenever alternatives are presented to you,ask yourself, how can i have both?.Stop watching trash tv and stay away from bad news.Change your focus from active income to passive income.   I have chosen these recommendations because they are more relative to me  although I am at work for the 2nd and 3rd recommendation,the first one is challenges me on putting actions over those creative formulation. So help me, God give me the ability to create both and implement both. Amen.

PARTY PLANNER

Being gone for a week and doing productive relieves me of other pending task to be done, and since time is essential I decided to just focus on things that I can work out for this moment. First , I wanted to visit my sites and take myself a tour around the blogosphere. Second , update myself of the current events and latest happenings in the net, Third unwind, relax , light up the k6 herbal incense, chill for tomorrows tomorrows work.

While I was doing my second plan, a friend of mine called and discuss to me some stuff that we both like to do. Since we missed each other for almost a month now she open up her plan of gathering us for a get together party, to wake up our spirit like a spiritual powders  ready to explore. I gave her my support as I wanted also to meet them up even if the time thus not permit us every time. Knowing that most of us are becoming lukewarm thus I think  party enhancers   time to make way . In fairness to this super friend of mine she never loses her hope towards us. I love you friend, I am sure you know that well. I do hope the plan will work out as far as excitement as herbal  city LCC is concern in the matter.

GIVING IS BLESSING

Amidst tragedy that took many lives of our brothers and sisters  in CDO and Iligan  because of Typhoon Sendong that makes  Christmas strange in most cities in mindanao region, life still goes on for the survivors, their very hope to locate  the bodies of their loved ones keeps them moving , gives them reason to fight and stand in the battle.

On the other hand, if typhoon Sendong  causes turmoil to  hundreds of family members in the said region, Almost everyone that saw the  situation  in that province has their heart broken also.  So most of  us were moved with compassion to help, to care , to  ease the pains they are going through . This just goes to say that, in times like these, (though we are not praying for this kind of tragic event) we can always find ways to extend our hand for our fellow country men who are in  need.

I chance to watch the documentary on Sendong aftermath, and the victims were saying their Christmas is bloody and the spirit of Christmas  can  hardly penetrate their beings.  But to some, it was the perfect time to be unselfish, to share what they have and give without reservation. To let go of those treasured possession for the benefit of  Sendong victim.  I just hope and pray that we be move and have the heart to mend our neighborhood that are in crucial position.

COMFORTING SEASON

To wake up early in the morning is a struggle to me, and this season of Christmas my struggle has increased. The cold weather is tolerating my laziness which makes me hard to get up and prepare for work, no wonder I reach the allowance for tardiness. I was sharing my story with my friend abroad and she was laughing out loud with and offer her  winter jackets so I can overcome the cold weather. And shes really serious, so I told her I am accepting cash other than those stuff.:)

CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS

Few more days to go and its Christmas day, generosity is in the air which makes me feel bless and that feeling is contagious that everyone in my circle are infected with the spirit of generosity and thanksgiving. Blessing is overflowing, what is more excited about Christmas is that the children as we know this is the holiday for kids. Who can forget those joy kids would bring  every time they open their gifts.They don’t mind how expensive or cheap  what gives them thrill is the present wrap inside the box,  There’s the suspense kids reserve  for the unwrapping the gift and those expression in their faces are  priceless.

Honest to goodness I am still yet to rush in the shopping center for the Christmas day, and I hope I could do it this week no matter how busy the day it is. I know it would be bloody day for me to join the crowd also making there way to complete the holiday for their family friends and loved ones. Wish us luck guys.
