A recent strong storm had hit our country and it was considered deadliest storm as per the news.
'Sendong' world's deadliest storm for 2011
Tropical storm "Sendong" (international name Washi) is the world's deadliest storm this year, latest data shows.
The storm, which struck Northern Mindanao, the Visayas, and Palawan over the weekend, has now killed at least 957 people, the country's disaster management chief said Tuesday morning.
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) Director Benito Ramos also said they have lost count of the number of people who have gone missing following the flashfloods spawned by the storm.
American meteorologist Dr. Jeff Masters, citing data from insurance broker AON Benfield, said 902 people died during a storm in Brazil in January. Meanwhile, 657 people died during the massive floods in Thailand from June to November.

After reading this post I got the idea of why people say 'happy new year' to each other.
It is a new year after all, and thank goodness we have the chance to get it right this time (yes I'm a very big optimistic). At least I know I'll do my share to make it that way, and only hope that others will make the same effort.
