Makati City, Philippines, 31st Dec, 2006 - I was torn between free food (but for the difficulty in finding a taxi) at an aunt's far far away and the concert and booths in Ayala corner Paseo de Roxas in Makati City.
The latter won the contest as to where to spend New Year's eve by a hair's breadth (thanks to the difficulty in finding a taxi willing to ferry us to that far far away place)...
Makati is still a small place, or it could really be because its the center of action. The same with Mall of Asia. - I still bumped into two developers from my current company in the midst of the large crowd which gathered at this junction.
OPM was emphasized and enjoyed with such bands as Imago, Itchy Worms, Rocksteddy, Sandwich etc. etc. (sayang walang sandwich na binigay!).
All the activities and booths were for a good cause, proceeds and donations were to be given to the victims of the recent typhoons (though if you ask me, some of the organizations could have donated more you know *wink*)
I had a couple of funny experiences that night, but all in all, it wasn't a bad end to 2006! Sure, its inevitable that fun was poked at the single people in the crowd, and yung mga may "sungay" but hey, I had 20 minutes of fireworks to look forward to that night.
