Fireworks :D
It's the last day of 2010. Woah! Time really flew fast. It's just been a few days of this new year and it still feels like the last year. Can't you believe it? It's the last day of 2010! And like what I expected... everybody was busy. This afternoon after I woke up, me and my mom went to market to buy the necessary things that we weren't able to buy yesterday. We bought some fireworks like "Lusis", Fountain and "pop-pop". We are not allowed to use other fireworks, it's really dangerous and we are also scared with the gross and creepy commercial about fireworks, you know, the thing where in they didn't even gave privacy to censored scenes like the hand covered with blood... and many more. I know they did it with purpose, so people would be aware with what will happen if they'll be clumsy this new year. Too bad we were not able to buy my favorite firework. sparkler, because it wasn't available at market anymore. When we arrive at home we then prepared for dinner, after dinner we arranged and prepared the things that we need in welcoming 2011. We follow
A little photoshoot with the fireworks.
some myths like putting some coins in the pocket, having 23 kinds of fruits in the table, we cooked different kinds of noodles to have long life, having different kinds of sweets this new year and most importantly jumping 3 times when the clock strikes 12! We followed the folk traditions, there'll be no harm in trying like the oldies said. ;) So i helped mom in preparing.. we went outside to see the beautiful fireworks. We watched the countdown. We are so excited! Fireworks are everywhere. I text and greeted my friends a happy new year, I called my other friends. We turned up the music so loud even our neighbors can here it. =)) Haha! I watch Loko Moko U first because all you can hear outside are fireworks and fireworks and fireworks! And when midnight hit.. it's time to party! Cheers for a happy new year! Everyone's attention was on the
spectacular fireworks. So I go outside the house to see those dazzling fireworks scattered at the sky. I really have a good view with the fireworks. I jumped 3 times, I haven't captured the
The food :P~
jump shot. I screamed at the top of my lungs "HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!" haha! After the celebration I go back inside the house again to eat. :D You know, who can't resist those yummy and tasty food? I mean, nobody! haha! I opened my YM so I can greet my father, good thing he's online. hahaha! After the party of course it's sleeping time. Before I go to bed, I pray to worship and thank the almighty God. We thanked Him for all the blessings the trails-- physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. And ofcourse for giving us another year. I prayed that this 2011 i'll have a better, happier and more prosperous year. :) The morning I woke up, I came to think of my new years resolutions.. and then I realized I will never achieve those plans. It's not that I don't want to change my self 'coz I do but Im so lazy and I'm pretty sure it will never be achieved. hahaha. I'm so nega! :D Well, by the way have a happy and prosperous new year everybody :)

Dec. 27: It's Divi day! \m/

@ the alley way
Divi day, shorted for "Divisoria day". Another story worth blogging. Mom and I decided to go to Divisoria since Christmas had ended, we hope there'll be less people. I told my mom that we should commute so I can tell lots of stories to my blog. We first rode in a jeep. The barkers yell here, yell there, it's kinda annoying but that's their way of finding a living. We  rode in the jeep for about an hour, cause it's traffic. When we got to monumento we waited for a jeepney going to Divisoria, we waited there for minutes. Then we have known that the place where we are standing is really not the place to wait for jeepneys. So we walk along the road and search for the jeep. It's not my first time to go to Divisoria, it's probably my 2nd time already. I'm not used to the sidewalk vendors on the street! and I even saw a train and beside it are small houses, it's really dangerous out there. When we saw a jeep, we immediately rode on it. We waited for several minutes 'cause the jeepney won't move if it is not full yet. I got annoyed cause the driver keep on calling for passengers. We're all in a jam. When we got to Divisoria a sea of people
The vintage necklaces we bought.
welcomed me. Everybody was pushing and shoving. Even if Christmas had ended there are still lots, and when I said lots, really lots of people came to spent their money. It was like you don't need to walk anymore cause the people will automatically sweep you off. We went to 999, mom told me it was the modern 168. I'm very thankful the mall has a/c! So we walk around. There were lots of stuffs at a very cheap price. I was able to buy blouses, shirts, pants, shorts, vintage necklaces, gifts and stuffs for friends and many more. It was like heaven! It's just awkward cause people will stare at you. After a long walk, we decided to eat at Chowking. Then after that we walk again because the vehicles going back to Monumento are on the other block. While walking, there was this kind of toy store, and I really don't know that it's a toy store at first and at the corner, I met a replica of iguana, it really looks like its real. So I panic because it was moving like a real one. Unfortunately there was a canal in front of me, I wasn't able to look down because I was running with the wind! My right foot fell. >.< Good thing mom was able to buy a towel so I sat at the bench and clean my self. It was really gross, seriously. T_T Then we finally reached our destination. But there were lots of people waiting in line also for an FX going to Monumento so we decided to rode on a tricycle. Then we waited again for another vehicle to drive us home. I was excited to open the plastic bags to check the things. The best thing about going to Divisoria besides the great deals and cheap prices is the moment when i get home and i think to myself that i really didn't spend that much. I can't wait to go back again, but I'll probably won't commute anymore. :|
