New Year na liwat

It's New Year's eve, and what do we have? Well, people all over the place. Forget about the Cathedral, the faithful will be there later tonight yet. As expected, the market and the local stores are soooo crowded. And there are other areas in the city where people came in droves at least this afternoon - the areas where they sell fruits and paputok (but of course).

Here are some pix and vids which I managed to take (using my mobile phone, as usual) when I went around the city at past 5 pm today.

As in the previous years, Gelera Street was blocked off for the fruit vendors. They always rake it in every year, thanks to that belief of being assured of blessings if one is able to collect 12 fruits by the new year.

Now this is the most welcome sight for me - torotot instead of paputok to meet the New Year.

. . . and along Senator Tomas Gomez Street Extension (infront of Riverview Cinema) where the firecracker vendors are.
