My New Year’s eve was spent the same way as my Christmas eve, with my friends at their home.
They cooked delicious shrimps, carbonara pasta, and hamonado, while I bought some leche flan which I happened to find in a Filipino grocery stall at Pasir Ris interchange.
I love how everyone was game enough to go along with my crazy photo ideas.
“Selfie”
“Sparklers” (thanks to Nantoy for the Photoshop 😊)
“Hello from the underside of 2016” (thanks to Nantoy for the Photoshop 😊)
“Yoga Mat Toast” (They didn’t get what I was trying to accomplish at first, but loved the final product. Sometimes you just need to trust the photographer! 😁)
We also watched some funny Jimmy Fallon videos which inspired us to play our own “catchphrases” game, but instead of the Jimmy Fallon way, we used Pictionary, which is our new favourite game.
The funny thing was, I ended up not just drawing but also giving a lesson on idioms. 😂 That moment gave us all a teachable moment – for them, a lot of idioms and what they mean, and for me, the realisation that I know too many Western idioms for the average Filipino. 😅
The above are some of the hilarious drawings I made. Could you guess what I was trying to draw? I don’t blame you if you don’t! My drawing skills definitely leave a lot to be desired! (Hey, this is an idiom too!)
Answers:
- Hold your horses
- Everything but the kitchen sink
- Let the cat out of the bag
- Rise above the blues
It was a very fun way to celebrate New Year’s Eve, and less tiring than going out of our way to see fireworks somewhere. #signsofaging
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year! xx
I got number 3! Yay! Ok, so we won’t play drawing together… Food looks delicious as per usual. MMMMM. Happy New Year, Dee.
Good job dee. You will be an excellent english teacher! Btw it was raining kittens and puppies earlier!
Happy new year, Dee! I’m sorry, but the creative drawings are tough to guess. LOL.
Oh, I didn’t know the sparklers were photoshop-ed when I saw it on your Instagram. I seriously thought they were sticks with sparklers alike frills. (Y)
