Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
New Year celebrations by Filipinos start with the traditional midnight dinner called media noche just before the clock strikes 12 when the loud welcome forthe new year starts with firecrackers, fireworks and all sorts of noise.
On my part, imagine a big, spacious house, not mine but of my kuya, with no less than ten hyperactive kids running around in circles. Add to that my parents and siblings (with spouses) and you'll have a day full of shrieks to welcome the new year-- no need for firecrackers to pierce your eardrums with cacophonic sound!
These kids usually run around but would strike a pose automatically on seeing me or my kuya with his Nikon D70s in tow.
I removed noise on the last photo (but not the trace of chocolate on her lips) due to my use of high ISO to compensate for low light and a crappy kitlens (the hunter) using Neat Image.
This is how I, like most Filipinos, celebrate New Year!
