The CK Daily – Love and Luck This February
Happy mid-week, CK buddies! How has the start of February been for you? Last January, we had the first typhoon of the year, but luckily, it wasn’t too strong. This February, another typhoon is being monitored, and my area is one of the regions it may pass through. I’m praying that it will dissolve. It’s quite unusual to have typhoons during these months.
This February, we have Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year to look forward to. Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday, so I guess we’ll be having a chill night with the family. I am also thinking of stepping out for a bit and leaving my mom and dad some time alone so they can talk and fix whatever they need to. After all, that’s the essence of Valentine’s Day, right? Strengthening affection for one another.
Chinese New Year falls on a Tuesday, the 17th. Normally, we just watch the Chinese parade with dancing dragon mascots, and we cook Nian Gao, or what we locally call tikoy. The belief is that since it’s sticky, luck will stick as well. We’re not Chinese, but we believe in these small customs about luck. After all, there’s nothing to lose, so we just do it.
Do you have any plans for these upcoming holidays? Do you have any Nian Gao recipes you’d like to share? Any traditions you usually do during these celebrations?
