2008 New Year’s Eve
Posted by transformer on January 1, 2008 · 1 Comment
This new year’s eve, I noticed that there were less firecrackers in the streets compared to the previous years. I could come up with several factors on why:
First, the government, particularly DOH, put into law that firecrackers like triangulo, bawang, watusi, etc. would be illegal,
Second, firecrackers are getting more and more expensive each year (are those made from China cheaper?),
Third, people are beginning to get afraid of the burns from these explosives, and
Last, there are alternatives to celebrating with firecrackers, namely, partying while watching fireworks from afar.
Tradition has slowly been changing. I do not say that this is good but if I remember correctly, the noise created by the firecrackers was to drive away bad spirits. Now if we should make dancing as an alternative to celebrate new year, I guess, we just gave out invitations to these spirits to join us. Now, that is really what I call reconciliation. Ha ha ha Happy New Year guys!
