Filipino New Year


Filipinos have this tradition of making sure that the new year is abundant and happy. We have this belief that if you start the year good, the rest will be good.
My first New Year here in America was spent with my relatives. I could not believe they have lechon here (roast pork). But they did. This was taken at my relatives house on New Year's Eve Dinner Party.
