Goodbye 2004, Hello 2005!
"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning, but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us." - Hal Borland
How fast time flies. 2004 had brought me a lot of challenges and hardships, but a lot of memorable things happened as well, so, I guess I can't complain. It's a bittersweet feeling -- being that it's going to be New Year's Eve. Bitter because it becomes evident that, yes, we are all growing old, but hey, "it's just another New Year's Eve, another night like all the rest" ;) Sweet, because a New Year is beginning, a brand new year that will bring us new challenges, more opportunities, and tons of interesting people to meet.
So. . .What's New Year's Eve like in Canada? Well, let's just put it this way...it's very different from the traditional Filipino New Year's Eve. Even though people dont light fireworks (they only do it in the center of the city), or Media Noche (a midnight snack), my family and I still try to celebrate it the noypi style, except without the fireworks because its illegal here.(Oh, killjoy!) We'd go to our family friend's house and celebrate it there, join the countdown and stuff. But of course, it's far more exciting and fun back home. I miss the Philippines more than ever during Christmas breaks because of our "astig noypi" traditions. Haayy...How I wish I could just go back home during these days. It just made me realize how "babaw" we can be...simple small stuff can make us smile and laugh. I remember when I was back home, I would always go outside during the day of New Year's Eve and play with "watusi", those little firecrackers that everyone used to love.
Good ol' days. . . *sigh*
Well, I guess I better get used to this kind of Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve celebrations, because I'm not gonna be able to come home during these occasions anytime soon. =( And next year, we'll be dual-citizens. Weeee! =) That will be such a relief, especially for my dear father, he's a "sigurista", he likes security. =)
Anyway to end this post, I've got just a perfect song for New Year's Eve. Hope you guys like it. (para akong DJ ah...)
It's Just Another New Year's Eve
(Barry Manilow)
Don't look so sad,
It's not so bad you know.
It's just another night,
That's all it is, it's not the first,
It's not the worst you know,
We've come through all the rest,
We'll get through this.
We've made mistakes,
But we've made good friends too.
Remember all the nights we spent with them?
And all our plans,
Who says they can't come true?
Tonight's another chance to start again.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Let's make it the best.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
It's just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we're through this New Year
You'll see, will be
Just fine.
We're not alone, we've got the world you know.
And it won't let us down, just wait and see.
And
we'll grow old, but think how wise we'll grow.
There's more you know, it's only New Year's Eve.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Let's make it the best.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
It's just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we're through this New Year, you'll see, will be
Just fine.
Have a very Prosperous New Year Everyone! Be Safe and Welcome 2005 with Arms Wide Open! ;)
Goodbye
2004, Welcome
2005! =)
