what's new?

Besides the fact that we have entered a new year, what I like about last 24 hours were...
> the families from Bilbao and La Rioja were well represented and shared a quite early dinner of Chinese                                  claypot rice (with chicken, Chinese sausage and shitake mushrooms) and grilled milkfish. We enjoyed a short after dinner talk over mango cake (created by sis' bff shine)  and maja blanca.
> To avoid my pet peeve, (firecrackers,  since 4th grade when a classmate, Glan, threw a watusi in my direction), fed the dogs with Mary and had Pooh on the leash before going on our way to sis's crib before 6:30 (it is already dark with the orange red sun peeking from the horizon).
> Waiting for bro to join me, I finished watching three movies (When in Rome, The First Daughter and Danielle Steel's Safe Harbor) while nursing a mug of instant coffee and nibbling a big slice of the butter frosted mango cake.
> Surprise! Surprise! New Year wasn't as scary as I have experienced. Bro arrived at midnight. I spied kids happily blowing their disposable horns or holding sparklers. From time to time they oohed and aahed at the display of lights under the dark sky. We were able to share the experience with the neighbors (though behind closed gates)

Change for the good, therefore, is not impossible.
2012 promises to be a better year.
Amen.
