The celebration of the Chinese new year traditions of New York and San Francisco are two of the most interest cultural events, and best parties, in the country. A lot of people are familiar with the basics of the Chinese new year celebration – the dragon dance, the fireworks, the parade – but until you have seen it all first hand, you can’t really imagine what it is like. It can be actually a little bit scary the first time. Traditional American parades with car horns, sirens, and marching bands are raucous enough.

Because the Philippines is an archipelagic country, its geographic resources mainly include beaches and mountains. Among the great destinations in the Philippines are Bohol, Puerto Galera and Cebu.

In Feng Shui terminology, water is one of the most important words that everyone is concerned about.

When “Feng” is to mean “wind,” then “Shui” is to stand for “water.”

The basic principle of Feng Shui dictates that “winds carries the energy wherever it travels and yet it stops when meeting water.”

Hence the importance of employing the element of “water” to serve as an “energy collector” or “energy accumulator” that further explains why seashore real estate is so much in demand and thus expensive everywhere.

The human body is basically composed of water, and the chi of the water inside your body has a similar frequency to that of any water nearby, rendering it possible to create a strong connection between the two.

If the chi of the water outside your body is pure and clear compared to the chi of the water inside your body, then the outer chi can improve the strength of your inner chi - very much like charging a battery.
