Exciting New Year Celebration

For the first time since 1995, I did not enjoy watching the fireworks that I setup for the new year celebration.

No, its not the fireworks.  In fact, it was great as what our neighbors, who were able to watch it, said..  Its our other neighbor. Well our neighbor’s bahay-kubo to be exact…

Apparently, the wind was blowing to the direction of our neighbor’s bahay-kubo so when the fireworks display started, the sparks that shoots out are blown to their yard directly.  I was watching while the our neighbor is washing out sparks dropping on their car while my husband is trying to figure out how to mitigate the possible damage on their newly built bahay-kubo in case the sparks dropping on it are big and hot enough to set it on fire.  I tried to move the fireworks box away from our neighbor’s house (while the fireworks are shooting out of it), but it only resulted to more sparks dropping on the bahay-kubo.  At least no more sparks were dropping on their car.  Hahaha, like that’s a relief.

The whole duration of the fireworks display, we spent not watching it, but watching out for our neighbor’s bahay-kubo.  At least there’s the thrill moving the live fireworks box.  I mean our other neighbors who were enjoying the fireworks display were amazed to see me actually pushing the box away from our that bahay-kubo with my bare hands.  At least I can really say that the Dragon Fireworks are really safe.
