BERdays

September, October, November, December...

it's the first day of the -ber months. when this time of the year comes around, i begin to feel the holiday spirit. it's time to start saving, thinking and maybe buying of gifts. knowing myself too well though, i'm pretty sure i'll be part of the crowd, rushing on the last few days before Christmas. i'm a crammer, which i admittedly am not really proud of.

time to bring out the boxes of balls & tree again! (one of those few traditions i start early enough:P)

on an unrelated note: yesterday, we had to give up one of our maids who's been with us for quite awhile. surprisingly i kind of miss her. on the outside, i might seem tough & nonchalant but i think i'm the type who really gets easily attached. this maid of ours is crazy with a security guard from a bank near our house whom unfortunately is already married & with children. since this maid is still young, i think about 19, we had to ask her dad to come from the province & bring her back home. as much as we wanted her to stay with us, we didn't want anything bad to happen to her. we had to protect her.
