~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back in the Philippines, as soon as the 'ber' months start, people get excited. Why? It signals that Christmas is just around the corner. Here in the US, Christmas is not only big celebration that people are waiting during the 'ber' months. Aside from Christmas, people here are also awaiting for 2 other special events: Halloween and Thanksgiving! These 3 events are definitely big around here. Since Halloween comes first among those three, I'm sure that Halloween invitations will be finding their way into people's mailboxes in the next few weeks. Our little one is very excited already that in the last couple of months she has already started thinking what costume she wants to wear when she does her 'trick or treat'. Growing up, I wasn't even aware that there's such a thing as Halloween. What we observe around the time that Halloween is being observed in the west is 'All Saints Day'. It's when Filipin...

Finally, the candies that we bought for Halloween [and the ones we got from the T&T] are all gone. We didn't know how 'busy' Halloween would be around our new neighborhood so the husband got 2 bags of candies to hand out just in case kids come knocking our door. Guess what? No kids! That meant all the candies were for our own consumption....and consume them was what we did every chance we got. Lovely! Well, the candies are all gone now and I'm happy they are. My 'make-believe diet' has been in jeopardy for those couple of weeks because I could hear the candies calling me every 5 seconds. So now I am on a hunt for the best diet pill out there to help me get rid of the 'candy fat' I put on in the last 2 weeks ...err the last 6 years. Even the husband said that we have to go on a diet now since we obviously look a little 'thicker'....hmmmm.
