I remember when I was younger, we used to go to Pangasinan to celebrate the New Year on the church we used to attend there. We’d leave on the morning of the 31st, arrive late at night and attend the mass that end just after midnight when the fireworks fill the sky. Then we’d travel back home to Batangas to spend the New Year morning there.
There wasn’t much cars or other vehicles on the roads but there were lots of roadside assistance because there are travelers who get into minor accidents when they drive into something due to the morning fog and the remnants of the midnight fireworks. We stopped going to that church but I still miss them. I spent a great deal of my childhood there and I just can’t help reminisce whenever the Christmas season and New Year comes.
