New Year, New Me

           
          The last month of the year 2012 which is December has ended and January came again. A new year for all of us. It's 2013, the year of the water snake in the Chinese calendar. It is yet another year for another chance to make our lives better.
           To celebrate new year, families have their meals in midnight of December 31 to dawn of January 1, it is traditionally known as the "Media Noche." In facing a new year, we are talking about fun, excitement and amusement. Some use firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate the new year, although it is very dangerous because some get bruises because of these. Others who are quite the non-law abiding citizen us gunfire, which is strictly prohibited due to safety measurement.
          But for the families that know the  meaning of safety, some just cling their utensils in their houses or anything that produces sound. Some use the so called "torotot," an object which is blown. Some use their vehicles' horn. Others watch fireworks from their windows because of the threat some things are bringing.
          Going to mass with their wishes flowing and floating in their mind. Having our own New Years Resolution, which actually started in the coasts of Rome, Italy.
          New Year is for new beginning, another year to correct our mistake. Another chance to have peace with your enemies, to fix what was broken. Another time to do what you want and chase your dreams. Another year to grow up and be a better person.
