December 31, 2013, New Year Countdown to 2014 at Eastwood City  

People in the Philippines set-off fireworks to mark the end of the year and to welcome the new start. The noisier, the merrier it is. Night sky was alive with the crackling noises of whistles, honking of car horns, ringing of bells, flashing of cellphone lights is done traditionally every year to drive away evil spirits.

Crowd gathered at Eastwood to witness the 2014 countdown. It was a midnight noise to wake up everyone and be merry for the New year 2014. Tourists from all over the world came to celebrate and witness how the year ends. American Idol Jessica Sanchez is back in the city to perform and lead the New year countdown to 2014 with other local performers; Bamboo, Mitoy to name a few.  Fireworks display draws thousands of people from different nationalities; Koreans,Indians, Turkish and many more. I was there to document the whole event. With the loud sounds and noises, I’m sure no bad spirit will stay alive, only good would be left around.

 Here’s some shots taken during the countdown to 2014

HOW ABOUT FACEBOOK?

By on December 5, 2013

Who among the people in this present generation doesn’t know about Facebook? Using social networking sites is the fastest and easiest communication to connect with friends especially to those relatives living abroad. Social networking sites available in the internet basically connect friends and relatives all over the world. All you have to do is to sign up for an account, it takes only 10 minutes to do it, you can immediately search for friends.  How easy to locate whereabouts of  old friends and be surprised to see them after those long years.You might be curious on how they look like, it would be fun to get the latest updates from them too. Aside from Application services provided in the internet such as; Viber, Whats App and Tango, all  family members has its own Twitter, Tumbler, Instagram and Facebook.

Almost all friends in my facebook list were former classmates here and abroad, few family friends, business associates, neighbors ,cousins and some close relatives. Facebook is good if you are wiser enough to keep yourself and your family safe by using the privacy setting. There’s a lot of options to choose from, you can control everything,who will see your status, photos, and who will post on your wall. That’s one disadvantage, and how about the disadvantages of using Facebook? Oh! That would be my next topic next post.

Recently, I’ve found my former best friend I haven’t seen for long years.I cannot even recall our last meeting we had before. I’m glad, She’s happy living with her own family in America now. Day after,She provided list of close friends to add on. For other friends, I was so desperate to think about some of my close friends just disappeared because of responsibilities until, Facebook made us closer back again.  Thanks to That! Here’s another, website of mine to connect and share my thoughts and ideas.

Finally, My FB  list of friends is almost complete, Definitely,Facebook is the place to collect all my friends and store them in. My former classmates in school before are now my present Facebook classmate although, we got different time schedule online. It’s fun and enjoyable to get latest updates and non-stop messages from them.It keeps me going! It will only happen here,I’ve gathered l my friends all-together in one place, Our best meeting place, Facebook!
