Daily Report: New Year

We were out for New Year's Eve to visit our friends, Warren and Jen.

Here is Epril all made up for a New Year's party.


Warren had spent a bunch on food and fireworks. The dozens of kids were in for a big treat. (The adults too... God, the food was good.)


Warren lights sparklers for the kids...


Who ran around the neighborhood... uh... sparkling.


There were roman candles...


and lots of happy faces...


Here we are, just after midnight.


Here is a bit of video of the fireworks that Warren bought (one box is about $7). There were fireworks going off everywhere, all around us in the neighborhood. To be honest, in terms of fireworks, it was almost as good as Pattaya Beach at New Years.

I always wonder why people here in the Philippines ask why we would want to live here instead of america. Of course they don't realize that the women are prettier here and the country is freer. In america we couldn't have a new year celebration like we had here. There would be cops being called and the fire department would show up. LOL God Bless the Philippines.

Heh. Forgot to mention: The police did stop by. Warren's friends, three senior officers... uniforms, police truck. They stopped by, had dinner, 3 or 4 beers each, enjoyed some fireworks, and then got back to work.
