Eve of 2012


In preparation in ushering the new year, went to the mall with Manong to buy fruits and cake for tonight. Must have been adopted from the Chinese, the dinner table should have twelve (12) different kinds of round fruits on it when the year changes, for good luck and prosperity. After buying the items and ate lunch, asked Manong to bring the purchases at home. Plan to watch another movie included in the Metro Manila Film Festival.

The movie is Shake, Rattle and Roll 13. It is a movie series that is always included in the Metro Manila Film Festival. I believe, I have not missed one. Always consisting of three episodes, with one episode in a horror-comedy genre. Have always expected that the horror-comedy episode would carry the movie, like that in the past. But not in this case. The first episode is titled "Tamawo". Bigbo, a young boy who moved in the provinces with his blind mother, abusive stepfather and step-baby (don't know the gender of the baby.. hehehe!), encounters a group of monsters that are after something that was stolen from them. The second episode is "Parola", which is about two best friends who enters an abandoned lighthouse; thus, unwittingly unleashing the spirits of rival witches. And the third episode is "Rain, Rain Go Away". A couple experiences paranormal activities relating to water.

After, proceeded home.


While waiting for 12 midnight, my niece and I sang ourselves hoarse. Thanks to Magic Sing. Played Uno Stacko and Monopoly Deal Card Game.


Our neighbors, who adapted Chinese practice regarding new year, set-off firecrackers infront of their houses in the belief that the noise wards off bad luck. I guess we also benefit from that? Never have a thing about firecrackers. Instead of buying firecrackers, you can use the money for other things. c",)
