The Filipinos have a lot of curious superstition during a lot of holidays and celebrations, especially during weddings - no pearl jewelry (shaped liked teardrops) and no black clothing (only for funerals).

The New Year is no exception. This Same Day Edit runs down a list of the more popular.

Some text in this SDE is written in Filipino so to explain:

1. “Magsabog ng barya” - throwing off coins
2. “Para tumangkad” - to grow taller

It was great spending New Year’s Day with Jen and Sieg as well as fellow supplier friends veluz, Dino Lara, Madge Lejano and Nina of weddings by Victoria.

2008 was a blast and we hope for an equally awesome, if not better 2009!
