Happy New Year!

We greeted the new year this year with a bang!.. or a honk since Davao City has this firecracker/fireworks ban. I actually had some plans for this year's new year celebration but I got lazy and decided to just use "torotot" and use my Yamaha Chappy to make some noise. My Yamaha Chappy - that little baby can belt out some decibels. And aside from that, it can also produce smoke that would put the anti-riot's tear gas to shame.

So I was gearing up to ride Chappy and go around the neighborhood to make some noise and suffocate people. I cranked its kick start pedal and vroom, vroom, vroo... it went dead. I cranked it again and it won't start anymore. I checked the gas tank - lo and behold, it was empty. So much for Plan B. We were stuck with our torotot.

Five minutes past midnight, the family ate together, had a little chit-chat and we retired to our rooms. Sooki and Quinn were already in dreamland so it was really peaceful which, mind you, is a very rare occasion.

The day after, we went to the mall and bought some new stuff for the kids. They say that you shouldn't spend money on New Year's day but hey, if this means that I'll be spending money for the kids the whole year, then so be it. This is the reason why I'm working right?

That night, some friends came to the house: Sdna, Jun-jun, Kim, and Tristan. I took care of the booze, Sdna brought tilapia (big ones!) and the others brought food too. It was a fun night for me since I seldom see these guys. It was a night of catching up and laughter and traveling down memory lane.

So that was my first day of the year.

Family and Friends. Life is good.
