Preparation for New Year 2016
How was your Christmas?
We’re at the tail end of a great 2015, and we’re looking to have an amazing 2016. I’m pretty sure all of you are excited for good food, music, and parties. If you are already doing your preparations for New Year’s Eve, here are a few tips that could come in handy.
Food – Homemade is still the best, but cooking can take a lot of work. From buying the ingredients, chopping them up, up to their presentation – it’s not an easy task. Since Lucenahins are known to have a passion on for cooking, here are some of my tips on your shopping day, for those really passionate about cooking, though, there are ways to make the process simpler.
For example, you can make a checklist of all the items that you would like to buy at the market or mall stores. This would help you practice becoming a wise buyer and it would also keep you from forgetting any items. If you don’t have time to cook anymore due to other tasks that you need to do on New Years’ Eve, there are different fast food chains and restaurants in Lucena City with delivery services.
All you need to do is call and you can have an instant New Year’s dinner at exactly 12:00 midnight. Just make sure to call at least thirty minutes or an hour in advance to avoid hassle.
DIY New Noisemakers – No budget for firecrackers? No problem! Try the latest Do-it-Yourself noisemaker tutorials online. It may not only help you discover your hidden talent for arts and crafts, it’s also a good way to bond with your family. Not only those, it can also help you avoid being hurt on the first day of the year. No one wants that – especially on the first day of the year – right?
Fashion – Who doesn’t want to have a special OOTN (Outfit of the Night) for New Year? I bet everyone does. Don’t worry, dressing up for New Year’s Eve should not cost a lot. We just need a little creativity and some time to figure out how we can reinvent the clothes from our wardrobes to make them perfect for the occasion.
If you don’t have any ideas, you can go online and check your favorite celebrities or fashion websites’ social feeds for some fashion tips.
Recharge your gadgets (Cell phone, tablet, etc.) – It’s the first day of the year! Who doesn’t want to have a cool first photo for 2016? Of course, many of us would like to have an ATM (At the Moment) selfie on our social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Due to our busy schedules, though, some of us may forget to recharge our gadgets’ battery.
To avoid this, assign one member of the family to recharge all your gadgets at least 2 to 3 hours before midnight (depend on the gadget’s charging requirement) to ensure that you’ll have the wildest and wackiest selfie for 2016! 🙂
Create a Planner – How was your year? Did you have an awesome time? I hope you did, but if it’s been kinda complicated, don’t feel discouraged! You have another 365 days to make the next year an amazing one. Get a planner and list down all the things or goals that you wanted to achieve in the coming year. Trust me, it would be a great help. Of course, that’s not only it because making it happen will also require effort and occasional sacrifices, but who knows, it might work for you?
