Embracing the luck under the lucky tree (from left clockwise) Chuckie, Rezzell and Paola.
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Xi Nian Kuai Le! Kung Hei Fat CHoi! no matter how we say it the most important thing is we welcome the year of Water Snake with renewed hope, luck and prosperity.
Speaking of moving forward, we know that every time we celebrate the Chinese New Year, people always awaits for the year prediction of different Zodiacs. But before we go to that, let me tell you a story: When I was in high school, we read these predictions so we will know what we will be expecting for the coming year, and all I am looking at is “HORSE” because I was born in 1990. But last year, when my cousins and I were discussing about the ‘year’ we were born, we found out that I was an “Earth Snake”. Merely because Chinese New Year were celebrated in February and I was born on January so I still belong to “Earth Snake” following the chinese calendar. Funny right? But it is true. ehehe
Anyway without further ado, here’s this year’s prediction for the Snake:
Your mesmerizing ways are a source of wonder for others. You are quick and graceful, with that gift of perception that makes you aware of things going on around you. You adapt well to what life deals you and can be quite determined. As a result you seem to have everything you need within your reach. Tenacity, resilience and inner strength are the defining traits of a Snake-born individual. These are qualities that make you a prized team member. You are always on your toes but have no need to crow about your strengths. Those who know you well can only stand back in admiration, but you seem to be oblivious of their awe. You can be single-minded about your goal, and with your persistence you seem to be able to get what you want, whether it has something to do with your personal or professional life.
