HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"

We screamed at the top of our voices...We even did this "jumping" thing that according to "PAMAHIIN" that as soon as the clock strikes 12 ...we JUMP! as high as we can so we can become more taller!! [hehe :p]

As we say goodbye to 2008 and welcome 2009 ... Fireworks started lighting up the skies...we enjoyed watching the sparkling colors of each fireworks... we lighted up some fireworks too..not to mention...my ninong bought some "pla-pla" ....OMG! it's like a bomb.. we even got shocked when he lighted one. We also enjoyed playing with glowing sticks [lusis/loses/luses whatever!]

Food was serve right at our dining table. Different kinds of food was made by our own families. It has been our tradition to have a joint feast together in my grandma's house. 

but this year's strange...very strange...

When me and my sister went at home to get some more food...we saw strange red-orange sparkling light at the eastern part... We started having thoughts that there might be fire or something... Actually we saw it first when we lighted the fountain but we disregarded it... As soon as we saw it... We told our mom about it but she said "Maybe it's just fireworks, dear." Again we went back at grandma's house and started spreading about what we saw...my cousins thinks the same too...that it is possible that it is a fire ... after a while, my phone started vibrating and there were group messages sent by my friends telling me that there is a fire scene at Salcedo St.... It was FQ. Store ...a seller of different kinds of firecrackers and grocery items. As I read the message i started telling to everyone...Then my ninong opened the radio and there we were all shocked. According to the reporter...The house fire started from a drunk-smoker fellow who throwed his cigarette right infront of the firecrackers..there the fireworks began exploding until some fireworks went inside the said building where it started the fire..few minutes later the fire extended to the east and included the Formoso Lumber and Hardware ...from there Firemen started extinguishing the fire ... Good thing they had control on the fire scene after a while. But one thing is disappointed ..there are still 4 missing bodies left by this incident.

Yes, it is still the first day of 2009 and there is an incident already...

Will 2009 bring us luck or not?

Well...it only depends upon our actions!
