This new year event had me enjoying one of the best views I've had of any new year fireworks show ever. My family and I had the good fortune to book a room at the Makati Shangri-la Hotel for this new year's countdown to 2012.
The last few seconds of 2011 had me videotaping the entire event happening in Ayala Avenue while the wife and kids cheerfully anticipated the fireworks show. The fireworks show came with its usual booms and bangs but the kids weren't scared because the glass panes of the windows muffled the sounds outside, and so we enjoyed the exhilirating view right from the comfort of our 16th floor room.
The Dawn's rendition of "Absolute Reality" and a slew of 80's hit songs prior to the countdown was the icing on the cake for me.
I've got to do this again next year!
