        When we got home at Santa Catalina Ilocos Sur, nothing really special happened except staying at home and doing chores. We went to practice our HIPHOP. Then here comes New years Eve, we started to buy groceries with my parents and made specialties to be eaten on the New year’s eve. We made a prosperity bowl and cooked many pastries and shared our time bonding together. It was very noisy outside and New year was near.   We started taking family pictures and waited till time hits 12:00am. After that we ate and did many traditions during new year such as picking up coins on the floor, fireworks, and made lots of noises with the cars and more. This new year, I want to save my allowance and spend it on important things or occasions and this year I want to experience new things, travel to new places and be a better version of myself. :>
