It's NEW YEAR'S EVE and we're counting the hours till it's 2022.
Dear Andrei was especially excited because we got lots of fireworks for the night. You could say that we all saved a little bit per payday so that come October 31, we'll have enough funds for a whole lot of ka-boooming!
As for the rest of us, I'm sure you'll know, that we're here for the food. Although we're not going to go so much for the homecooked route like in Christmas, we still plan to get all fat and full as we bid the old year goodbye.
And yep, as expected, we did THAT plus so much more.
Sharing our night as we bid "paalam" to twenty-twenty one and halooooo to twenty-twenty-two!!!!!!!
Wooooo to the HOOO!!!!!!!!
HAAAAAAAAAPPPY NEW YEARRRR!!!
And like with our Christmas celebration, we started the New Year table set up early.
(Don't wanna rush anything)

And then finally....
WE'RE DONE!!!!

We know we'll be eating a LOT for media noche so for our early dinner, we just had some Korean noodles.
Mati and Andrei liked to do this again (we also did the same at Christmas) that they said this should be our new pre-buena tradition.
Online mass!!!
The others were at the other side.
I wonder if next year this would be for reals na.
The mass is done, so let's get this party started!!!!!!!
After mass, Andrei and I did a bit of firecwackers!

Andrei proceeded to light up more rockets.
Keeping our distance.

Andrei and I took a break from all that poppin' because it's time to EAT!
Again... thank you Mommy for this!
Mommy asked for a picture with the "chefs." He he he he he!

Trust me though that the sight and the feels of fireworks during New Year's cannot match these photos. Super saya talaga!

Mommy's not a real fan of fireworks but whereever we are, she'll go!
Wohooo!!!!
This was our light for 2022!!!!!!
We were all jumping and shouting... Another unforgettable night. Too bad lang ate Jojit and Anthony were not with us.
YOHOOOOOO.... HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finished with our fireworks before 1:00am! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Yeah seriously.
Most of our stuff naman were fountains. We only had one 16 shots that we used at 12am!

Another year is done. Hay..... Not used pa nga so much with 2021, and now it's already 2022.
So much has happened and though there have been many unfortunate incidents for 2021, we all remained hopeful and happy that New Year's Eve. I don't know if it's the power of family but somehow we all felt comforted, and awesome that night. Really so thankful that we all have each other.
I'm sure too that food had something to do with it. Ha ha ha ha ha!
So cheers to you, 2021. Though it was indeed such a wild ride, thank you for making it work out everything in the end. It's all something to look back upon with a thankful heart to family, and of course (God, Jesus, Mother Mary, Padre Pio, and Guardian Angels -- you may find it corny, but They have helped us all in very difficult times and I want to acknowledge them here for it. ALWAYS BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER).
If last year I wished for EVERYTHING TO BE BETTER, this year, I'm going for LET EVERYTHING WORK OUT with the help of the power of prayer.
Sorry if I'm becoming off course but it's what I feel right now. He he he he he!
Soooo... Happy New Year y'all!!! This was our best New Year's Eve celebration yet (yeah I know I always say that but it's really true.. ha ha ha ha ha ha... you know me... I always appreciate the present).
LET'S ALL HAVE A YEAR THAT WILL ALL WORK OUT WITH PRAYER....
(sige and good food na din... bwa ha ha ha ha...)
SO
THERE.
