It was a joyful but quiet celebration of meeting 2021 finally. Although firecrakers are prohibited during the general community quarantine, for a few minutes before the new year started and a few minutes after, it was so noisy outside. By 1 am, everything was so quiet.
Mom and I are alone in the house. Josef, Jovy and our two pets spent the new year with Jovy’s grandma. They will stay there until Sunday.
Here’s our simple lunch: a healthy veggie salad with mayo/garlic/vinegar dip, slivers of cheese and thin slices of crisp apple, two rolls embutido and baked macaroni. Blueberry cheese cake and brownies for desserts. Heaven🍎🥒🥬🧀
Turning a new leaf in the calendar of life, another 365 days to make life more meaningful.
Peace and prosperity to all. HAPPY AND BLESSED 2021.

And a happy new year to you Arlene.. 💛🌏

Healthy way to start the new year. Walang grand fireworks dito sa Melbourne so we just celebrated quietly with a few very close friends. Very different from what we usually do!

Oh, we still had them here especially in Manila and other selected malls. They had lovely fireworks display. Ang putukan dito sa area namin shortlived lang.
