New Year's Eve in Manila

It was a relatively quieter New Year's Eve this year and hopefully, I won't be reading any more New Year's fatalities in the news later. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Manila has always been noisy and dusty during New Year's Eve so it's something we have always looked forward to. It's just that in the past five years, the noise levels have gone down significantly and most of the fireworks and noisemaking just last for an hour, unlike in the 90s and the 00s when it lasted so long and the dust was so thick!

Nowadays, it's not that rambunctiously noisy anymore, which is actually fine with me!
