Another New Year
Tuesday, January 01, 2008 @ 9:43 AM
Confused by the question "Why".Current Music: Mr. Brightside [The Killers] - drum cover. (see it on Youtube if you want, just search Mr. Brightside drum cover or search rebeat2u and look for Mr. Brightside)
But, before I start, I shall greet the reader...
Happy New Year~! :)
The year 2007 just ended last night, and it was the first time in our family that we didn't have any fireworks lighted. But, even though we didn't have those lusis and those kwitis, we still had fun watching different fireworks on our rooftop, and yes, there were too many of them.
I really don't know why the Filipinos are fond of lighting fireworks. They say its a tradition to warn the bad spirits away and that tradition came from the Chinese. But, what I'm really asking is, why do we light fireworks and hurt ourselves? Every year, in this country of ours, there's a hundred of people going to the hospital during the Holiday Season because of fireworks. You call that a long time tradition? A tradition...should be professionalized now, right? And with that tradition, we shouldn't have any injuries regarding those things now.
Well, I guess that's WHAT we Filipinos are. But, even if we put up fireworks and wish that the bad things would go away, we should also change ourselves. And, by changing ourselves, we can help our country be one 'nation' again.
Oh, and, I'm not thinking of making my own New Year's Resolution again. Haha. Well, I guess I have some, but, I would only bear it on my mind starting today :)
"Another year, another fear. Here's my cheer to the New Year."
