For eight years now, Bacolod City where I live has been celebrating the Chinese New Year with a bang! It is becoming a tradition for both Chinese descent Filipinos and Filipinos to celebrate the turn of the lunar year. I myself loved the festivities with all the colorful street decors, gimmicks, promos, fireworks and entertainments as provided by the organizers. Lacson Street in Bacolod City is again closed for three (3) consecutive nights just for the festivities.
This year is the Year of the Snake. My second daughter Ceci was born on the year of the snake. And, so I took this opportunity to have her pictures taken with the different snake lanterns that were being displayed at the Capitol Lagoon Park.
