Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Holidays and New Years celebration.   Wish all the best to our viewers and friends around the World in 2011.  May all your pussy-chasing fantasies come to bare.

As with every New Year, the celebration in the Philippines was loud and costly.  They shoot off extensive arsenals of homemade fireworks that would make Al Qaeda bomb-makers proud.  And with that, scores of accidents, fires and injuries occur.  Everyone has at least one Filipino relative with some sort of New Year’s Eve celebration-related injury.   I had an uncle-in-law who was deaf in his right ear.  Big PVC-pipebomb.  Too much Red Horse.  Standing too close.  What?  Huh?  Can’t hear you.

Anyway, Fields Avenue became a virtual warzone on Friday night into Saturday morning.  Tons of tourists and locals packed the streets to watch the explosions.   Here are some pics courtesy of Tequila Reef:

Some Rizal Street “hand-held” fireworks…
