To a Filipino middle-class family asics gel lique australia , the New Year celebration is not complete without 12 kinds of round- shaped fruits on the dining table which the family members partake after the stroke of midnight on Dec. 31.
This is a Chinese tradition in welcoming the New Year which the Filipinos have adopted.
The Chinese, however, need to have only eight round fruits on the table because the number 8 signifies good luck.
For Filipinos the belief is that the 12 round fruits represent 12 months of the year and assure good fortune to the family members all year round.
As a tropical country, it is not difficult in the Philippines to find round-shaped fruits such as oranges, watermelons, mangoes asics gel kinsei 6 australia , pineapples, guavas, rhambutans, jackfruits, pomelos and peaches.
In the Chinese tradition, the pineapple is an important fruit for the New Year celebration because the "eyes" of the fruit symbolize success in one's career and more opportunities in the coming year. In the Philippines asics gt-2000 australia , however, the pineapple is not given such importance. Filipinos do not place pineapples outside doors or on windowsills as some traditional Chinese families do.
But most Filipino families have adopted the Chinese custom of presenting red envelopes with new crisp peso (the Philippine currency) bills to children. Usually the children and even adults are asked to hold coins of various denominations and jump at the stroke of midnight, another Chinese tradition to usher in a prosperous new year.
The belief is that when children jump at the stroke of midnight, they will grow up a few inches in the coming year.
Many Filipinos also believe that having money in their pockets and wallets at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve will ensure a prosperous coming year; the crispier and bigger the better.
The Filipinos, like the Chinese, also believe that what you do at the beginning of the year will have an effect on your life at least until the end of the year.
The most popular New Year's Eve tradition around the world is display of fireworks.
In the Chinese tradition asics gel gt II australia , firecrackers or fireworks supposedly ward off misfortune and drive away evil spirits. But Filipinos tend to overdo the firecrackers and hundreds of children and adults suffer injuries or even deaths as a result of the wanton use of firecrackers.
The local government of Davao City in the southern Philippines has adopted a total ban on firecrackers because of the harm that the firecrackers have caused during New Year's celebration.
There were those who suggested that the firecracker ban should be imposed nationwide but many Filipinos, particularly in Metro Manila, want to welcome the New Year with a "bang" literally.
Some gun-owners, including the police, have the penchant of firing into the air as part of welcoming the New Year. The bullets sometimes ricochet and hit innocent bystanders.
Every year, the Department of Health launches a nationwide campaign warning the people of the danger of exploding firecrackers asics gel ds trainer australia , especially the bigger ones. But these exhortations are often ignored by the public. Two days before the New Year, authorities reported that some 200 have already been injured by firecrackers.
Some Filipinos now hit metal pots, pans and basins or blow their car horns just before midnight of Dec. 31 to make as much noise as possible in welcoming the new year.
As in other Southeast Asian nations, the large Chinese community in the Philippines has been exerting cultural influence on the Filipino way of life long before the coming of the Spanish and American colonizers.
PARIS, June 7 (Xinhua) -- The second-seeded Karolina Pliskova beat host player Caroline Garcia in two straight sets, while the No. 3 seed Simona Halep came back from the brink of elimination to overcome Elina Svitolina in women's singles quarter-finals at the 2017 French Open here on Wednesday.
Pliskova was one win away from the top position on WTA rankings asics gel atena RF australia , as world No. 1 Angelique Kerber bowed out in as early as the first round.
Pliskova and her French opponent were dragged into a tiebreak in the opening set, where the former won 7-3, before she went on to seal the win at 6-4.
The two players did well on their own serves, as Pliskova outscored 8-7 in aces, with her 79 percent of winning on first serve also bettering her opponent's 67 percent.
"Definitely there were a lot of free points from the serve, a few aces as well asics fuzex rush australia , and I think that was the key. She was unlucky in the first set, but I think I was a little bit better still," said Pliskova.
The biggest challenge for Pliskova to move atop the rankings was set to come from the third-seeded Halep, who could achieve that by winning the title at Roland Garros.
After losing the first set 6-3, the Romanian almost stopped her quest for the trophy after trailing by 1-5 in the second.
However, it was just the beginning of her epic comeback.
Halep won five games in a row to turn around at 6-5. Although Svitolina managed to force a tiebreak asics dynamis australia , the Romanian still won the thrilling tiebreak at 8-6. Then she dominated the decider to ride on a six-game winning streak to move forward.
"I feel that she played unbelievable tennis in the first set until the end of the second set, 5-1." said Halep. "I just sat down at 5-2, and said that the match is lost. Then I started to feel more relaxed maybe because I thought it's finished, and I change the rhythm."
"She started playing much better. I let her a little bit back into the game, but she knows how to come back in the matches, and she always fights for every ball. I was expecting this. It was quite normal asics dynaflyte australia ," commented Svitolina.
"But I don't really need to talk about this match as a bad experience or something. I think it's good. I am sad today, but tomorrow is another day, and life continues," she added.
"I have to be more aggressive, going into he.
