filipinos at new year

They have many strange traditions and superstitions. Right now, my mother is sprinkling coins all over the house. And she told me that I’m not allowed to shower until 2009 or something to that effect.

Balls to that.

Yesterday when she was leaving the house, the turned my plate around. “Because we are leaving when you are eating”. Wtf. I nearly had my head chopped off for clipping my nails the other night.

Yeahhhh.
