First and Last New Year ko dito sa Saipan. Nakaraos naman ng maluwalhati.
Naimbitahan kami ng mommy ni April to welcome the New Year at their house. So, Alex, April and I stayed there. Kainan. Kantahan (kaya umulan ng malakas). Kulitan. Nood ng DVD. Laro ng cards at billiards. And of course, I learned how to play Tekken. April's little brother taught me how. He got a PSP last Christmas. Nakaka-addict pala maglaro ng Tekken. (hmmm, para tuloy gusto kong bumili ng PSP).
After that, attend naman kami ng company party nina April. The New Year's party is part of their company's tradition, where (almost) all the employees are invited to the bosses' house. Of course, food and drinks were overflowing (typical Chamorro party), music is provided by a local band (cha-cha siyempre ang tugtog). I saw some acquaintances and exchanged new year greetings. There was a "talent" show by employees and children of employees.
The raffle draw is the highlight of the party. Prizes at stake were refrigerators, TVs, dining set, sofa, bed, and other consolation prizes. April won a phone.
There was also a fireworks display. We went home at around 10pm, tired and exhausted.
Hay, one month na lang ako dito sa Saipan. I am quietly saying goodbye to all these.
Here are some photos I took during the party.
