Adrenaline rushing...the eagerness to hear and watch those firecrackers brightening up the moonlit sky is fueling my excitement. For a moment, I felt I was in PI but as I lean on the window and looked down I saw nothing but parked cars. No kids running around with "torotots" and no one is throwing the infamous "watusi"; nobody is firing those loud banging firecrackers. My eyes are scouring the whole place below but they're nowhere to be found. Down from where I am is nothing and is at its usual state of strangeness which brought me back to reality. Time check, 8:00pm, we're 4 hours behind but PI's on it; I can feel it...home is within me, calling me to be one with them. Their merrymaking is contagious...intoxicating my whole being; the more I see them, the more excited I become.
The time difference is prolonging my agony of welcoming 2011 but even so, it didn't dampen my already hyper soul. I'm in a state of effervescence and nothing can break my spirit when I'm in it. Waiting…waiting...finally, it’s 12MN! I ran out and wished everyone a Happy New Year. Dusted and shook off 2010 by jumping (haha - no kidding, been doing it since I was a child). It felt so good to see them all up; I was so giddy and felt like a kid once again. Lights on and volumes up as we help ourselves to our simple noche buena.
Good food with good people, a best way to end the year that was and welcome the New Year. Hope you had a blast one and all and wishing you a marvelous year ahead. Keep your head high and conquer your quests. Cheers!
