“Wake up!, Wake up!”
Happy New Year!
What makes your new year happy? Is it the food of various kinds on your dining table? Is it the fireworks that explode outside? Is it the loud music that plays everywhere? Is it your friends around you that keep you laugh all the time? Is it the gifts that you received from your relatives? Is it your special someone that inspires you everyday? Is it your job or work that motivates you? Is it the enough money on hand that can satisfies your daily needs? Is it your healthy life that does not bother you? Is it the love and care that you receive from your family? Is it the blessings, faith and love of God? Well, whatever the things that make you happy, you have to thank God for another wonderful year to you.
Time passes by so fast and sometimes it is becoming shorter and shorter for us. We want to give our best to our family. We want to give our best to our job or work. We want to give our best to our community. We want to give our best in serving and worshiping God. How can we determine the quality of life that we have? Others say that it is not the length of time that we live on earth but rather the quality of life that we have while we are still living on earth. Quality life can not be measured only on how long do we live on earth but it is really be measured on how do we live on earth.
Perhaps this new year, it is time for us to reflect on ourselves. It is time to patch up things that seem lacking not only for ourselves but also to others. It is time to settle up conflicts as early as possible. It is time to move on and focus on your plan. Show concern to others as the Golden Rule states “Do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you”.
Hands-on 
Ang new year ay isinicelebrate hindi lang bagong ang taon kundi dapat magbago na ang lahat ng mga tao na nakagawa ng mali,kailangan ng baguhin ang nakaugalian natin.Hindi lang may handa ay masasabi mo ng bagong taon.Ito ay ipinagdiriwang dahil sa bagong pag-asa ng mga tao at bagong buhay at paghahanda para sa bagong suliranin sa buhay.
Sa araw ng bagong taon , maraming tao ang nagkakasiyahan. Pagpatak ng alas dose ng hatinggabi, sinasalubong ito ng masasayang ingay at paputok na ang siyang dahilan ay ang mga taong nagagalak sa pagpasok ng bagong taon. Masasaya ang mga tao na nagdidiwang ng araw na ito. puno ng pagbibigayan, pagtutulungan, at pagkakaisa. Halimbawa na lamang sa lugar namin. ang aking mga tropa at ako at nagluluto ng mga pagkain at kadalasan kami ay bumubuo ng sayaw. Ginagawa namin ito sa araw ng pasko at bagong taon. Nagkakaroon ng paligsahan at palaro sa aming lugar sa mga araw na aking nabanggit. nung nakaraang taon kami ang nanalo ng aking mga ka grupo. Sana sa darating na bagong taon kami padin ang manalo.
