1.1.11

My family wasn't entirely complete in welcoming 2011. My dad wasn't here due to his work abroad. My sister on the other hand has her own journey. Healing from a hurt that was caused by the years that has gone by. My brother has his own affair at his church.

But despite their absence, we welcomed the year full of joy in our hearts. We managed to laughed and enjoyed all the fireworks of our neighbors. It wasn't really that bad. I'm still glad and grateful for all these.

some captions from last nights fireworks

We went up the rooftop just to get a full view of what's happening. And I tell you it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! Gah! All the colors. The sound. Everywhere I turn there was that beautiful outburst of the fireworks.

every Filipino household has these on their table come new years eve

We only had little time left to cook so my mom made only a couple of dishes. But she sees to it that we have a handful of fruits on our table.

Just for fun!!

Here's a tip for the next year hahahaha! 

• Wear something pretty. Something that will add glow to your whole being. This will help you lift up your mood.  The design and the color of my top jives with the occasion. Plus, I love the bow embedded to it.

•  Do something outrageous. Just to add a bit of entertainment on your new year. I played around with the mask my boyfriend gave me.

• At the end of all the celebration, talk to someone you love before you go to bed. Let's start the year right by smiling before we close our eyes. Who knows! maybe we will end the year with this lovely gesture ^.^  Of course as for me, I had a chat with my boyfriend in fb, ym and on the fone lol.

Let's begin our year with a bang! 

Rock it baby!
