I really miss New Years celebration in the Philippines especially in
my province - Batangas. Compared to New Years celebration here in
England where the usual thing that people do is go to the pub and get
hammered as a celebration of new year (not as if they don't do it
most days or nights for that matter, hmmm that made me think, maybe
British people thought it is always new year in the UK,LOL).
Anyway, how do we celebrate New Year in the province?
Well, New Years eve, Mum and my sisters were busy the whole day food
shopping then cooking and prepering everything for the family meal at
midnight. Kids would be busy running around and playing which they do
everyday anyway.
My eldest sister and her 3 kids, (my brother-in-law works overseas),
my only brother and sis-in-law and their 5 kids and my yougest sister
(she's 37 and still single)celebrates new year with my mum in her
house with my 10 year old son.
At stroke of midnight, everybody were outside to welcome new year
with a BANG!(Fireworks) afterwards, family meal and then church.
In the afternoon of 1st January, there were games for the kids in my
village where they can earn prizes for winning in a game competition.
As for my New Year, I was working from 7 am to 7 pm New years eve,
home by 8pm, went out for a couple of hours for a curry with my
husband, came home watch the recorded Coronation Street, went to bed,
wake up and go to work AGAIN! And that was my celebration of New Year
in England. I don't even see the living daylight! I MISS HOME!
