one celebration after another.
new year is approaching again.
here comes 2007, time really just go by so quickly.
i'm gonna turn 21 next year,
and soon i got to step into the society to work.
and be more responsible haha.
was chatting with my spanish friend online.
he reminded me of how people in
Spain celebrate their new year.
He say, in Madrid,
Spain´s capital,
there is a
Puerta del Sol tower clock right in the center.
When the clock starts to strike 12 at midnight
people in
Spain will start to eat a grape on each stroke.
so 12 chimes, one grape each.
Just like eating 12 grapes, each a second apart.
which is, rather impossible i suppose. lol
how can you finish eating 12 grapes in 12 seconds?
but it was kinda fun to welcome a new year with a mouthful of grapes.
the grapes are thought to bring good luck and happiness,
ONLY...if you managed to finish eating the 12 grapes within 12 seconds of cos.
oh well, i better prepare my 12 grapes.
haha, who knows, i might finish it.and i will have a better year! lol...great year ahead fellas, cheerios.- sherri
