New Years Eve - Dec 31, 2007

While I was cleaning my stuff, I found an old hard bound cook book that i purchased years ago. I remember i bought it for only P100. While i was cleaning it my mom went inside my room and she scanned through the pages and saw a recipe for calamares. We read thru the procedure and it was mentioned that when you dip the squid into the egg then into the bread crumbs, you let it stand for a while before cooking it. Interesting huh? The reason was so that the breadcrumbs would not fall off while you fry them.




So when we prepared the calamares, we followed the recipe and true enough we observed the bread crumbs did not fall off. But it was just scary coz "tumatalsik" ang cooking oil while you are cooking it.









It was the first time that my nephew stayed up for the new year coz i told him not to sleep coz its going to be new year soon! They were teasing him to go to bed but he kept telling them no i won' sleep coz di-i told me its new year already! He was very excited to light up the sparklers that we had. These sparklers were leftovers from the sparklers that my brother purchased in Pagadian City last Dec 2006.
















While waiting for 12 midnight, we sang some songs with the karavision player. My brother Mark and his wife Glenda were also here to spend the new year with us. A few minutes before 12 midnight, we went out and played with the sparklers. After consuming all the sparklers, we went inside and ate our media noche. We started the new year with a prayer thanking the Lord for all the blessings He has given to our family and asking for guidance and protection for the New year. Of course everybody started with eating the sweet stuff first, and of course no chicken meat for new year.
