Year 2011 is “Year of the Rabbit” according to Chinese Zodiacs.

Fortunetellers in Asia predict that the year will be anything but cuddly. Those years include 1903, 1915, 1927, 1939, 19515, 1963, 1975, 1987 and 1999.

Among their predictions for the Year of the Rabbit beginning February 3 are terrorist threats, continuing tensions between China and the United States, natural disasters around the world and wobbly global markets.

Here are some of other key predictions from fortunetellers:

Hollywood celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is not immune from the grim prognostications. Both were born in Rabbit years, and one fortuneteller sees their longtime relationship coming under increasing strain as the year wears on.

“This year the West will suffer from a vicious energy and will be prone to more terrorist attacks,” Tsai said.

“The East will also be affected by a negative energy, reflected in ongoing tensions on the Korean peninsula.”

“People think the rabbit is very gentle, but it’s not going to be a mild year at all,” Yong said. “It won’t be a good year. There will be a lot of world conflicts.”

And here is the 2011 Horoscope for the each zodiac sign in the Year of the Rabbit:

Baguio City celebrated its Centennial year yesterday through a lot of events and activities. Over 7,000 residents and foreign and domestic tourists participated in the centennial parade that was held last Tuesday. The parade started at the Baguio Convention Center and ended at the famous Baguio Athletic Bowl. It was highlighted by the performance of a group, called the ” 100 Dancers with 100 Steps ” that drew the attention of the spectators on Session Road, Magsaysay Ave. and Harrison Road and in the Athletic Bowl. The celebration posed a theme, “Fostering a Culture of Caring” as city’s business establishments, institutions, and streets were decorated with flowers and signs depicting the centennial logo. It was intended to keep the centennial spirit alive up to the end of this year.
