Another New Year

And it means the season is drawing to a close. Last Sunday, we went to one of the small malls in the area. I noticed that the mall has Christmas trees on the fountain, and they are white. I decided to take a picture through the glass panel from the third floor. It kinda looked cool.

And it also means there will be smoke in the air and ear blowing sounds from the fire crackers. In the Philippines, firecrackers are easily available to anyone. Most of those who enjoy setting them off are usually children below 12. It is easily accessible in the near bye sari-sari store. I can't help but wonder so many things.

1. How is it thay they have money to buy firecrackers when they complain that they do not have enough food on the table?
2. Even if it is something dangerous, the more they are drawn to it.
3. What satisfaction is there from setting off something to blast off the eardrums?
4. Despite the images of people on tv who have been victims of a firecracker gione awry, it seems people would still use them

May be I cannot relate because I was musch to scared to try one. The closest that I got were the lucis and the fountain other than that I leave it to my cousins to set off. I just hope that families would prioritize and buy food or something remotely more useful than firecrackers.

Anyway, no matter what you do for the New Year celebrations, have a blessed, prosperous and happy one! =)
