"Is it New Year once again?"

That was the question playing up in my head as I heard fireworks being fired in our street. I quickly went out of the house to find out what was happening. For a moment, I remembered a scene from Mars Attacks. The way Filipinos celebrate New Year's eve was mentioned kasi. The film was a whole lot of fun to watch in a weird and absurd way. Meron bang ganun? Hehe...Ay back to my story pala...It turned out, a group of young guys were getting all wild and crazy, they fired whistlebombs and tons other of its kind as they walked their way out of the village. It was scary. I meant, they were scary. These kids who should be in their homes with their family are grouped together in the midst of the night, having a merry celebration of an unknown reason, shooting fireworks along every street they reach. They strangely look happy. Makes me suspect...Are they drunk? Fine if that's the case. But I have a feeling it's more than that. Oh God, these kids...these kids will turn out to be big-time thugs in the future. God forbid.
