Yes. It's out of order to go shopping on 15 th November and see shops decorated with christmas trees and already playing christmas carols. In the past gifts were symbolic and mostly for kids, now they should be definitely expensive. Even the end of the year bonus has become a trivial "bonus for the pork" ( a hint that romanians should sacrifice a pig and do a lot of what I call "porkies"- different kinds of food using everything from skin to blood.).
Have you ever been poor?
Yes, extremely so at one stage. I remember going to bed a few times not having had supper as my mother didn't have money for food for us. I remember hearing her cry at night when she thought my brother and I were asleep. I was too young to understand our circumstances and gave her a hard time for not having food for us. It was only later in life that I appreciated the predicament she was in. I am happy to say that I am no longer poor and I cherish everything I have in life, most people don't :(
Have you ever been stuck in a situation that you thought you would never get out of?
Yeah, all the time. Can’t understand why the others get things so easily and I have to fight hard for the most ordinary thing. You can’t imagine the level of bureaucracy and corruption in this country. You need hard nerves and a thick cheek to survive. Unfortunately more and more often I feel I can't continue.
Have you ever lost an exam?
(Don't worry, we are as corrupt as your country is trust me! Our President has just spent over US$ 25 million on his personal home for "security upgrades". Didn't know Jacuzzis and disco balls were part of a security requirement!)
I failed a few exams when at school, more out of laziness than anything else. But since I have left school I have passed every test and tertiary examination that I have taken :)
What are your plans for this evening?
Hope to don't have extra work. I'll watch my fav show on TV - and definitely I'll fall asleep. Might spend some time on facebook chasing my "lovers". :p
Do you decorate a Christmas tree on winter holidays?
I've got 2 small boys aged 4 and 6, what do you think :p: :D And here in the civilised part of the earth it's summer, not winter ;)
What do you hope Santa will put in your stocking this year?
Nothing, as usual. :devil:
Is it necessary to remind this all the time? :(Quote:
And here in the civilised part of the earth it's summer, not winter
No :p: .
Are you traveling anywhere over the Christmas holidays?
No. I hate winter and we don't have a winter holiday anyway.
Do you sing christmas songs?
I absolutely hate Christmas songs! Radios have been known to take flight when they drone this nonsense out for too long. The modern ones are the worst, they are just plain awful badly written dribble... But that's just my opinion
Is it right that the Santa we bring our kids up with i.e. the fat man with a white beard in a bright red suit is an invention of the Coca-Cola company
