To make the welcoming of the New Year more special, we invited some friends over to our house. When we asked some of our friends what they did in the past year/s for New Year's eve, some of them said, they just slept and didn't do anything at all. So, that's why, we thought of inviting some Pinoys. So, we had New Year Celebration Filipino style :). I think it's not really common for all the Thai's to celebrate and wait on the New Year. Last night, our neighborhood was sooo quiet the whole night. There were fireworks at 12 oclock from the other areas but it didn't even last long. Or maybe, their way of celebrating the New Year is just different from ours. Oh how I miss the amount of food and noise we make in the Philippines when it's already New Year. All the stereos will be blasting, cars will be honking, children blowing horns/trumpets, the men lighing up the firecrackers and etc. And I remember when we were kids, we would be jumping up and down so we would grow taller. Hahaha!!
Anyways, back to Thailand, New Year's eve : We had a great time of fellowship together. We started with food, then worship, testimony and prayer for 2008. For a complete and more detailed entry, check out Ate Litlit's blog. She's one of the guest-host and did an excellent blog about party. :) She even advertised my lasagna. hahaha! Hmm..I wonder how much I need to pay for that blogvertise huh?
Anyways, all in all, I'm glad we decided to spend our New Year here in Thailand. There is indeed a purpose for everything and I'm glad that this party has been used to be a blessing for others. We have been tremendously blessed too through the presence of our friends.
I'm looking forward for next year's Christmas and New Year celebration, as we're planning to be in the Philippines that time!! WOOHOOO!!!
