Happy New Year!!! I hope you had a wonderful, peaceful, and worry-free New Year's Day Celebration! I am glad to report that I have had a good celebration too, nothing broken or missing. 2006 had been a good year and I sincerely hope that 2007 will be a better year for all of us.

I am starting this year with a video! This one is taken at my family's big get-together, and I shot this clip right under the firework show. In the Philippines, everybody has their own version of a firework show which makes the total metropolitan area unbelievably crazy! A lot more polluted too.

I hope we all lose that habit of creating a lot of pollution to mark the passing of the old year and the coming of the new one. We need to do everything to help after all.

Here is another video, featuring a trumpilyo! Happy New Year to you again!
