Registration

As soon as you enter – there is already pakulo 🙂  Write your name and birthday and wish

Then put it in any envelope in any tree around the house – I put mine in the Year of the Dog since I am a Dog 🙂 This is the Sheep tree though

 Then they have us this paper which we was for a game ( though I did not reach it anymore )

You could buy lucky Charm Bracelets by Liza Bustamante who was seated in the den upon entering

All over the house were giveaways, trees, etc

Upon registration, they will tell you what element you are based on the year you were born

Then it will correspond to a prize in the tent by the garden!  

Metal – pick an amp envelope and if it has a coin inside you win a Chinese New year cupcake

Fire

The den with the lucky wishing balloons

You get the color corresponding to your element.  

I had to capture this balloon with all the hearts 🙂

Hi Dennis!!  I see Joy and Love on his balloon 

  Everyone was so busy writing so many things on their balloons and you will see the usual- Peace, Love, Happiness, Joy, Money, Prosperity, Money and Money and Money  haha!!  

 Joey and I were metal for the year 1970 ( now you know our age haha).   The most busy one was my friend Joey. She was so serious writing so many things on her balloon I could not even talk to her! I needed to borrow her pentel pen! haha ! That balloon of hers was full after awhile! Happy to be with Paolo, handsome brother of Tessa 🙂

  Good thing I could not think of so many because there is not much really. GOOD HEALTH and LOVE.  I only wrote two things! Of course LOVE  – ALL WE NEED IS LOVE. And I added one important thing which I always forget to pray for – HEALTH. Dad de Jesus always wishes this for all of us. We should always wish for good health. I have been having stomach pains every night for the past year and I am wishing it will go away. I can’t sleep well when the pain is there.  We need to really take care of our health and we should not forget to pray and wish for this. So I wish this for all of you and for me!

We all went outside and they told us to chant and then we let go of the balloons
