    "malas" is true, only if one believes in it.

    you might even argue for a bigger discount now, because car sales during GM are slower.

    Its an East Asian (Japan, China and maybe Korea as well) belief.

    In Singapore, the chinese people especially the elderly discourage us from doing overtime during the ghost month. Baka daw kami “istorbohin”...madali naman kami kausap eh. Hehehe

    5 Money Taboos Around Ghost Month | ABS-CBN News

    2. Let the seller beware too. The Ghost Month is also not an auspicious time to dispose of any assets. You are warned to likely get the raw end of the deal by not getting the best price, or worse, be made responsible for anything that can go wrong with the item after the sale. Those are at least two instances when bad luck is predicted to meet the seller, by not choosing to wait out the Ghost Month instead.

    let us not elevate it to SUA-status.

    Ghost Month starts on the 7th month of the Lunar Calendar. In 2018, it falls on August 11.


    Asians to observe Ghost Festival starting August 11 >> Manila Bulletin News

    Asians will begin to observe the Hungry Ghost Festival starting Aug. 11 until Sept. 9 as a popular feng shui master warned about the possible occurrence of a strong earthquake within the annual festival based on Chinese astrology.

    Some of the unforgettable events in history that happened during Ghost Month: 9/11 Twin Towers attack in the United States (Sept. 11, 2001), the death of Lady Diana of Wales (Aug. 31, 1997), death of King of Rock ‘N Roll Elvis Presley (Aug. 16, 1977), tragedies in Payatas, Quezon City (July 10, 2000), and Cherry Hills Subdivision in Antipolo (Aug. 3, 1999), hostage crisis in Luneta (Aug. 23, 2010), 7.7 earthquake in the Philippines (July 16, 1990), floating Pagoda tragedy in Bocaue, Bulacan (July 2, 1993), and typhoon Ondoy (Sept. 23, 2009).

    Hirap maging Pinoy...

    Ang daming influences ng ibang bansa...

    Yes, Chinese will hold off major purchases during the Ghost month...
    But other races will be business as usual.
    Did you deposit money nung Lichun? - It's a Singaporean Chinese thing

    e.g.
    Westerners see #13 is unlucky
    #13 is lucky sa Chinese

    IMO, important thing is respect.

    You see a friend whose house is #13... Don't go saying "bakit number 13 ang house mo, malas yan!"
    Don't step on Joss paper.
    Don't offer home cooked meals to Muslims (unless your kitchen is Halal)
    Ask Buddhist/Hindu friends if its ok with them if you eat/order beef

    I have a Chinese friend who freaked out when she found out some Pinoys keep the Urns at home... Had to give her the "keep it to yourself look" so that she won't mention anything...

    Kalokohan. Lahat na lang malas o swerte. 7 billion+ people on this planet only 1.3 billion are chinese. E di sana lahat na lang ng intsik mayaman at lahat ng iba e minamalas.

    At yung mga feng sui masters na yan dapat bilyonaryo na sana lahat sila e bakit hindi naman????

    ako fafa yebs, ayaw k odin maniwala pero three year in a row na ko takot sa ghost month coz of whats happening to me, kala ko nga tapos na eh kasi buong august sobrang lutang na ako sa mga things na I cant control lately. di man lang ako makapag-pagupit and I wear loose clothes lately kasi nga talaga naman sobrang heavy ng pakiramdam ko lately di ko alam. di nga ako gano nag-troll dito sa tsikot kasi baka ako malasin pa sobra


    sobra na nararamdam, ang tinde ng ghost month na ito talaga, everynight I pray that things will be better next day, pero talagang wala eh, i'm always caught surprised lately, from maling turn sa traffic route to wrong accounting, dami ko pa nakaaway at nasigawan ngaun sa tarbaho. wtF! I am not that person, Im always cool and courteous

    so kung ako senyo maniwala na kayo sa ghost month, it's there. who knows baka habang nag-type kayo sa computer, nasa likod nyo lang sya. pray for his soul para hinde na sya gano mag-create ng damage. I am so worn down lately haaay

    try salt bath or salt ritual... yun ung nabasa ko sa isang feng shui forum sa ibang thread. research nalang how to do it or try to ask someone who knows.

    or try to donate something sa charity or to the poor, no need for big amount naman just donate something.

    masarap pag ghost month sa pinas madaming three day sale mga mall na chinese mayari. lol.
