Hi! I'm working on a new story about an angel, some mysteries, and a relationship between a human mother and an angel daughter. I'm currently drafting the story then I'll publish each chapter.

Hey everyone! Shout out to all my Muslim friends and classmates at school! Ramadan will be ending soon. Ramadan is a time for people to be humble, please Allah, and show respect to everyone around them. Even if the person isn't being okay. I am impressed by the people too for being able to fast for such a long time, you are pros! Happy early Eid-al-Fitr(sorry for the misspell).

大家好!Hey guys! Chinese New Year is coming up. For the elders, gives them time to badger their kids, nieces, nephews, or great-nephew and nieces. Foods play a big part in Chinese New Year, especially wishing them prosperity and fortune. 恭喜发财!年年有余!Helth and prosperity, abundance through the year everyone! never wear mourning colors or say anything related to ghosts or death, because then your Chinese parents will give you a hard time. Stay safe and good luck!

You can check out my Chinese New Year book that way you can get some insight on what you should and shouldn't do that way what the Chinese say, "lose face" or reputation.

....Aaand those people who are spreading support for the ethnic cleansing of the Uyghur people. And those people in Myanmar who call out the virtues of Buddhism and with the same tongue support Rohingya genocide And Lukashenko and his police forces too are annoying, altho I can understand that the police doesn't have much choice either...still

Hey guys! Zhongqiu kuaile! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! This holiday is the 2nd most important holiday on the Chinese calendar. This celebrates the full moon, Chang'e(Moo goddess), and mooncakes are always necessary! In the countryside, it celebrates the harvest season so there will be a lot of food! PS-Chinese believe if you point at the moon, your ear will be injured because it basically says you are insulting her. so stay safe and Happy Autumn Festival!

yep, it's the beauty of personal experience that makes superstitions true sometimes.

@ReghanJaio It's nice. You know what this might sound a bit dumb, but I find some superstitions like this one aesthetic and pretty. Idk why. I like superstitions (as long as they are harmless) Being Asian means having more faith in superstitions abt luck than physics, personal experience. It's nostalgic lol.

Yep, Chinese are superstitious. But pointing with one finger can make the Chinese think you are cursing them, it's why chopsticks are never pointed vertically. While the superstition maybe superstitious for the Americans to them, it's not superstitions to us. At least, those who believe in it. I don't point at the moon out of cultural respect.

Hello everyone! Today is the Ghost Festival party, or in China, we call it the Mid-Year Festival. Some rules to layout. 1. never go swimming, shui gui(water ghosts) will drown you for revenge of them being drowned then steal your identity. 2. No celebration or moving or starting your business. You will accidentally invite a spirit with you 3. No going out at night, pretty obvious. It's where you can find a Korean ghost called the cheonyeo gwishin(virgin ghost) They aren't lovely ladies, I can promise you that! 4. Stay safe, indoor with lights on, or night light.

Sorry for the late reply, I love ghost tales, but it's only if I can't see them. Some things are best left unseen.

Hey guys, I wanted to say Appy Ashura to all my Muslim followers out there! Ashura is the 10th day of Muharram Month! Which celebrates Prophet Mohammad(Peace be Upon Him)'s grandson's martyr. While I am not Muslim, I want to be respectful. It also celebrates When Moses opened the Red Sea so the Hebrews and Israelites could run away from Egypt because the pharaoh wasn't a big fan of the Israelites.

Further update, on the day of the Zhong Yuan Festival(Mid-Year, AKA Ghost Festival), my book, "Ghost Month" will be published so that way you guys will stay safe during this special festival to where your ancestors will visit you once a year for 15 days. Whether your superstitious or not, best to "stay safe than sorry," as the old saying goes.
ReghanJaio
The Ghost Festival is only one day a year, but it's believed that your ancestors will stay for 15 days. So that one-day celebration is more of a welcome to Earth celebration. The 15th day is believed to when the worst spirits like the jiangshi(hopping corpse) appear. They're vampire and zombie mix. There is the mogwai, a shapeshifting demon.

Hello guys! The Qixi Festival is on August 25. For us, it is a festival like Valentine's but we instead women will be doing needlework as a representation of a weaver who fell in love with a cow herder. Her parents were pretty unhappy since she was a goddess and the cow herder was a humble mortal. They can only visit each other on the 7th Lunar Month very year. While I'm raised in a Christian family, I still hold up my Chinese culture and heritage. Happy Qixi Festival to those who celebrate it!

I didn't do any needlework, but if I ever get to live in Taiwan, the Qixi Festival traditions are starting to decay which is sad, but it's also a time for family members. I haven't exactly celebrated it. I just celebrate it in my head! But I do embroidery. I did do knitting, I guess that could count.
