Last day of year '08

Well obviously this is the last day of 2008! Some countries are already celebrating right this moment the coming of New Year but here... people still have to wait until later tonight to celebrate the new year's eve. I am chatting with my family right now in the Philippines not our usual schedule but they said they can't sleep anyway because of the fireworks going here and there. We this neighbor that they don't even care at all if it's too much fireworks they do. They are loud and the kids are throwing firecrackers and stuff like that. I know we can't say anything in this time of the year but sometimes they are so annoying. Poor people that doesn't really into this thing. I used to recall when i was still there when new year comes me and my sissy put a cotton buds to our ear so less noise we will hear! lol. I'm glad here in the states those things are not really very common to neighborhood, they just done it in particular places that open for the public to witness the fireworks! So, eventually tomorrow will be the first day of year 2009! farewell 08 and welcome 09! winksz..
