    From the dates of the incidences mentioned in the article, I am guessing that the ghost month is dynamic. Is that true?...

    in the medical business,
    kung bumababa nga ang chinese costumer,
    tumataas naman ang non-chinese costumer.
    bottomline... business as usual.

    aralin ko nga history ng ghostmonth kung bakit seryoso sa pagsunod mga eastasians or ginawang gimik ritual lang pangpaswerte.

    Kasi kung sino pa walang dugo chinese mas seryoso nagfollow sa ganyan.

    Last year and 2years ago nakalimutan nga yan.

    Niregaluhan kami ng mooncake in a box from Shangri-la many years ago. It was a beautiful heavy duty box which we still for storing whatever at kung di alam ng makakakita, di nya maiisip na hopia lang pala laman nun dati.

    tsikoteers alamin nyo kasi difference ng mooncake

    - real mooncake usually lotus paste, salted egg, tapos may version pa madami nuts & seeds.

    - entry level mooncake uses black monggo.

    - regular hopia uses basic monggo beans.
