Happy New Year Everyone!

Another 365 days were gone and another one is about to come. Or should I say 364 days only? 

Happy New Year everyone and don’t you all worry about the Fiscal Cliff deal, it has been signed already. 

What I am worried about is the sad news of another senseless loss of life caused by a senseless way of celebrating the year of the water snake. I was watching the early evening news today when I heard the passing of the innocent child who was a victim of a stray bullet as everybody celebrates New Year’s Eve 2013. 

It is indeed great to celebrate the New Year but it is very awful and ridiculously unreasonable if it is done at the expense of a parent and loved ones without their precious child. Indiscriminate or not but firing a gun at a blank target surely would result into something. Hopefully it won’t cease a lovely life, much to it if it is from an innocent angel who probably have so many dreams and desire to achieve something either for herself or for her family. But that we cannot know anymore as the little girl passed away with a bullet that enters her skull, passed through her brain and lodged on her cheek just behind her left eye. 

According to medical reports, she was already comatose when she was brought in the hospital and suffered several cardiac arrests but survived until they reached the maximum threshold of resuscitating her before they call it. 

Is this the way we suppose to celebrate New Year’s Eve?
