One day more and it will be a global celebration with people gathering at homes, hotspots and special events. Those who are well fed and financially secured enjoy themselves and wishing next year will be much more prosperous for them. The poor on the other hand might stay in their humble homes yet celebrate with what god has provided for them.
I’m not being rude or sarcastic whatsoever but it just that sometimes you have to think for others and not only yourself. Honestly one of my weaknesses is that I have a high empathy level which is quite good and bad at different situations. Yet living in the world with hidden sins and vendettas somehow felt like I’m part of a certain minority group that might not even exist.
Hahaha…. why am I being so negative suddenly when a new year is coming with new hopes and dreams. Dad would say, “Always think positive and something good will happen in your life” and indeed it does happen sometimes. I apologize for my negative mindset but as always those who know me, know me well.
Being the eldest sibling and the sole breadwinner (maybe), freedom is not endless but limit in certain ways. Dad and mom have ask how am I going to celebrate my new year and my answer as usual was “I’m not sure but I’ll tell you later”. They’re answer to my statement will be normal advices given to a child who has protective parents. This culture is actually a norm in my family even since college days. Just going out with friends and coming back late (after 2 a.m.) with me being 26 years old sometimes makes them worried too much. Guess this is what being a good parent is all about and I totally agree with it. Gee…. I do sound like an ‘anak manja’ which I certainly hope not. Yet I appreciate their concerns even with all the annoying moments I have been through with them. Life can’t be normal unless you have someone to praise or irritate.
To my relatives and friends, far and near, good and evil, alive and dead, rich and poor, wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
