Celebrating Chinese New Year 2025 in Binondo

By livelifeandlove on February 11, 2025

Lunar New Year is a significant cultural event celebrated across Asia particularly in countries with Chinese heritage. In the Philippines, Thousands of people celebrated Lunar New Year in Binondo, a district in Manila recognized as the oldest Chinatown in the world making an ideal spot for the celebrations. A large crowd of spectators filled Ongpin street renowned as the jewelry capital of the Philippines and this is the main street that serves as the central gathering and focal point for various activities organized by the city Government to celebrate Chinese new year. Numerous events and activities such as parades, fireworks display, Feng Shui talk, acrobatics as well as the lion and dragon dance and various cultural performances are commonly anticipated.

Red oval lanters hang gracefully around the lengthy streets of Binondo illuminating the path with a stunning glow.The rhythmic vibrations of drum and the resonant clangs of gongs reverbenate through the chest. Lion and dragon dancers showcased their artistry captivating people around with their impressive performances. Each year Fil-Chinese community in Binondo joyfully welcomes the new year embracing the vibrant red hues that are believed to ward off evel spirits and misfortune while inviting goodluck.

Binondo is buzzing with a vibrant and dazzling Chinese celebration. The night is filled with continous non-stop street parties.

They even set up a stage right in front of Chinatown Lai Lai Hotel where various performances by singers take place, their melodies and voices creates a happy ambience for the audience. The area in front of hotel is bustling with a large crowd, the event resembles the Mardi Gras in its lucky spirit.

The magnificent lion and dragon dance lands out as a cherished tradition of Chinese culture that Filipinos have wholeheartedly embraced as it also stands as my favorite photography subject. Additionally,Filipinos have taken the custom of wearing red symbolizing wealth, positivity and good fortune. With a billion Chinese worldwide reflects a rich tradition that has evolved a thousand of years serving as a significant Chinese influence that resonates throughout Asia.

There’s another street performers out here. A marching band jamming along with gay fire eaters right in front. The fire eaters exhibition takes a flaming object and put in his mouth and extinguishes it, however, before the act, they’re handling out red envelopes for small donations. People around showed their generosity by handling out red lucky envelopes known as ”ampao” to the performers, this is the most fantastic way to kick off the year with giving and receiving good blessings.

Entertainers in quirky and unusual costumes were also around drawing people to snap photos for a little extra donation.

Many customers gathered to grab fruits such as: oranges, apples, pineapples, persimmons, tangerines, cherries, dragonfruits to name a few.

Street vendors were all set up chowcasing variety of Tikoy, a sweet glutinous treat available in various flavors that includes: White sugar, brown sugar, buko pandan and Chocolate flavors.

The Magic Water is a perfect drink to chill you out on a hot day celebration. at First, I was just curious, i don’t know how it would taste so I gave it a shot! It tastes like gelatin with a sweet vanilla but it looks like crystal clear water. Another refreshing option, I really loved the Sugarcane juice with calamansi. It was such another refreshing drink to cool me down while I was wandering through the busy street. It quickly became my go-to favorite even before.

Roasted chestnuts on hot stone can also be found along the bustling Ongpin street where they are the popular choice among Chinese.

Pineapples surrounded by native green oranges and adorned with red ribbons represents a festive decorations. In Chinese culture, pineapple is a fruit of great importance especially during festivities of Chinese new year. The term pineapple”Ong Lai” resembles the phrase for incoming fortune. In Hokkien dialect linking the fruit to themes of goodluck, wealth and prosperity.

People of all ages hurried to grab lucky charms designed as sophisticated bracelets that symbolizes wealth, health, career safety and financial success. The most popular items in high demand this season.

Streets foods that a lot of people love, I waited in a long line to buy these favorite Cantonese barbecue treats.

There are two traditional stalls that offer Chinese cuisine located next to each other. They both specialized in Fried Siopao, Machang, Siomai etc.. Attracting long lines of eager customers. The queue seems endless with people continously coming to buy.

When it comes to food, Chinatown serves as an ideal location to celebrate New year’s offering, a variety of esteemed restaurants that provides authentic Chinese cuisine which has consistently proven its enduring quality over the years, known for their lasting excellence which has stood the test of time. The President Grand Palace Restaurant among the best and popular was the venue for our family dinner on New year’s eve. Thanks to the lovely ambiance and delectable menu options. Although we initially intended to order Peking duck but it was no longer available, so we choose another delightful dish instead. The restaurant was bustling with patrons. Thanks for the treat Maro!

We decided not to attend the fireworks display at Jones bridge where the Chinese new year countdown was taking place, as we are aware of the challenges associated being in a large crowd. The good thing, the glass window of our hotel where we are staying offers a splendid view of the stunning fireworks illuminating the sky in various shapes and brilliant colours. We are relishing the opportunity to capture photographs of fireworks which are distinctly visible from afar.

I was super excited, it was my first time to celebrate Lunar New Year in Chinatown. I have long desired to visit Binondo Chinatown initially planning to stay for two nights encompassing both New Year’s Eve and Chinese New Year. However, I’ve encountered fully-booked hotels in the past, At long last, my aspiration has materialized this year as we made an advance hotel reservations to avoid disappointment of being fully-booked again. I can’t wait to share this experience with you, you can partake and enjoy visual celebration while reading this blog!

Overall, it was a delightful experience to partake in celebrations with the Chinese communities in Chinatown Binondo, Manila

Chinese New Year 2025

By livelifeandlove on January 28, 2025

Lunar New Year begins on January 29 for this year 2025 with dazzling lights and fresh starts. Every year, Chinatown and Asia as a whole witness a spectacle Chinese new year, it is the most highly anticipated cultural event and a revival of rich tradition that will again come to life. Fil-Chinese community invited me to watch the Lion and dragon dance, Wushu exhibition as well as other cultural shows in Chinatown, it is the most important traditions during Chinese new year. As a blogger, I never miss the opportunity to highlight Chinese new year celebrations on my blog, it is the best subject to be featured, I started showcasing Chinese activities as a tradition and it became a customary for me to feature major events and activities related to Chinese new year.

This year 2025 would be different from previous years, I would like to engage in something new, thus this year of the wood snake would be something unique and memorable. I’d be celebrating Chinese New Year for the first time in Binondo, the world’s oldest Chinatown. It would be nice to experience the festival’s positive spirit and wonderful atmosphere. I can just imagine, it would be a lengthy day chasing and photographing the lions and dragons as they danced and paraded around the streets. Given how many people are expected to witness, it’s hardly surprise that there will be a big crowd.

Note: I apologize for turning down few invitations to capture the Lion and Dragon dance performed in major malls and big hotels due to conflicting performance of date and time. They perform sumultaneously and located far apart making it difficult for me to catch up.

Join me to celebrate Chinese New Year in Chinatown. Watch Chinatown kick off the ”Year of the wood snake.”

What to expect:

Lion and Dragon Dance
Wushu exhibition
Feng Shui talk
2025 Parade
Stunning fireworks
Festive fair
Long street food fair

My appreciation for all courses, I was trying to get a picture perfect for the first course. The first course, it’s a Birthday Misua with Shrimp and Mushroom.

The 2nd course is a Doubled-boiled Winter Melon Soup with Assorted Seafood. It is clear and tasty. Why clear? well, you don’t see any tiny floating particles, totally clean and clear! Winter melon was considered to be healthy, nourishing and cleansing to the body.

For me, a delicious soup is when you bring up the total hotness of natural flavor of seafood and vegetables.

Each round table is good for 12 guests and to every table, one Broiled-Winter Melon Soup bowl each. What a huge and heavy shell. It’s just perfect enough for 12 people. You can see the assorted seafood individual bowl down there, nourishing and full of flavor. The 4 empty wintermelon shell which serves as a serving dish for the soup.

In a small bowl, it is hot and delicious.It gives specific taste as it is appealing.

A Time and Space to Grieve

By livelifeandlove on March 22, 2022

The lengthy voyage of battle ended with the appearance of the morning star in the eastern sky, signaling the beginning of a new day free of tremendous anguish and suffering. He didn’t say a word as dawn broke around him. At long last, he knew the way to his final resting place. His death occurred at first light on February 12. It’s been over a month and the pain is still unbearable.

Gene passed away a year after being diagnosed with terminal Stage 4 prostate cancer. His final wishes and requests on his deathbed were spoken with such love and respect for his family that remembering them now is the most sad and hardest thing anyone has ever done. He was aware of his surroundings until the end; it was painful to watch a loved one in this state of decline; I can feel his growing exhaustion; despite our best efforts, I’m not yet ready to let him go; he passed away just two days before Valentine’s Day; we had big plans for the holiday; it’s difficult to come to terms with the loss of a loved one. Saying farewell is the worst.

Dealing with grief is difficult since it brings up terrible memories and recollections over and over again. I constantly feel the need to cry. Whether it takes a year or a lifetime, I will never forget the pain of losing someone close to me. I can’t help but think about the good times we had together in the past, the travels we took as a family both domestically and abroad, his compassion and generosity, his commitment to and love for his family, and the routines of our daily lives. I can feel his gentle touch and his closeness to me, and it makes it difficult to take the next step. I will never get over missing him till the day we are together.

nearby bedside in those final days

This is how devastating the loss of a loved one can be: my entire world feels empty and sorrowful. Going through a rough patch right now, trying to get back to normal while dealing with the pain of loss and other emotions stemming from shock and disbelief. The inability to eat and sleep has wreaked havoc on my health. It’s difficult to start over after losing him; in all likelihood, it will take many years of hard work to get back on your feet.

As time goes by, hopefully the hurt will lessen. God is our source of hope and love, and in Him I put all my trust. God is with us always, even at our darkest hours. To live is to be alive… To properly grieve, I require more time alone. Please give me the strength to carry on, it’s tough to let go. In the middle of my sorrow, I need words of COMFORT and ENCOURAGEMENT to help me regain my footing.

Note:

Sharing my story to raise prostate cancer awareness.

Winter Melon Bowl

By livelifeandlove on August 23, 2021

Winter melon Bowl is a vegetable shell and an excellent serving dish for soup. The good thing about the shell, it’s quiet thick and good enough to hold the heat of the soup.

Double-Boiled Winter Melon Soup with Assorted Seafood

This is the internal part, wide and clear white. I don’t see any damage parts.

Complete example of Winter melon shell, Four Winter melon Bowl on the table, wrapped in plastic Cling wrap to support the whole shell. It’s heavy that needs a support to stand but no signs of swelling at the base.

Two servers carefully ladled in assorted seafood inside the shell and scraped the flesh of winter melon using a long-handed cup-shaped spoon followed by the clear soup to fill each bowl. For our finale, picking a piece of shrimps over the edge of the winter melon bowl.

The first World Pyro Olympic took place in 2005, keeping the same venue year after year for 8 years and lasted 2018, their final fireworks show at Seaside Blvd. SM Mall of Asia. A sudden change of location the following year, venue was moved to Clark, Pampanga in support of Manila Bay Rehabilitation program.

The host country, Philippines didn’t participate in the competition but performs fireworks vibrant display on the last night. The competition started at 7:30 PM when spectacular explosion of colors and figures shot off from the floating barge and light up the night sky over Manila Bay.

Some pictures captured from different viewing spots, its hard to do proper shoot, it was crowded around my area. Polaris fireworks of China was truly good. So far, it was a night favorite, the best fireworks that I’ve ever watched live.

Sweet Love and Good Luck 2021

By livelifeandlove on February 14, 2021

This year 2021 is a double festive event the ”Chinese New Year” (February 12) and ”Valentine’s day” (February 14), merging altogether sweet love and good fortune to start the year right although this year is a different one because of the existing economic crisis brought by the pandemic and COVID-19 restrictions. The opening to normal life is very slow and uncertain, we don’t celebrate it the way we used to do in the past but It’s safe to celebrate at home with sweet and delicious simplicity.

If you prefer indoors at least you can move and enjoy more, you can serve at-home delicious dinner or just order out, you can also arrange DIY Valentine craft decors. Safety and health our prime responsibility. When you won’t be able to get-together in all ways, it would be better to send best greetings online and meaningful chat on screen, this would be more meaningful for both parties to be safe.

Wishing you all Happiness and Prosperity, Give Love and be Loved, ”Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Chinese New Year”

February 12, 2021 is Chinese New Year, the ‘’Year of the Ox’’ it signifies the hardworking trait, this is a good symbol that will help us through the pandemic season, it is also a symbol of spring and agriculture in Chinese art. Ox is compatible with people of rat, snake and rooster zodiac signs.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Stay Safe and Healthy!
