The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you” (The Moldy Peaches)
The holiday season is officially over. Guests are gone and today hubby and I wrapped all the Christmas decorations and suddenly our home seems so dull. But it’s okay, now it’s time to get back to work.
These few days have been really cold and foggy too. It’s that time of the year to wear thermal clothes, and drink hot chocolate.
Where did 2011 go? I don’t know and I don’t wanna know, but I’m glad it’s finishing. I’m just counting the days and waiting eagerly for this 2012 to have a fresh start.

It was nice to watch the city full of lights. People seemed to be in a better mood, smiley and happy. I enjoyed shopping fo home decorations. During Diwali I visited some friends and ate many sweets. Maybe too many. Read the rest of this entry »
And continuing with the festival mood. What better festival than Diwali? The city transforms into a big christmas tree full of lights and live. Going shopping is almost madness but it’s worth it as you can find wonderful home decorations and deals.
