Halloween in Cayman Islands 2020

Hey guys, you might have already read my post the other day about The Hallotober Tag. I mentioned there that I love Halloween because I like dressing up, going to parties, and having fun on spooky community events. Last year, I went on a Halloween party bus (with missions and games) and since then I’ve always looked forward to this years event. 

My costume was ready since the beginning of the year. Yes, that’s how excited I was! I even signed up on three events: Fright Fest: The Strand Block Party, Nightmare on Walker’s Road, and Dead On Arrival: All Inclusive Halloween Event. Finally, the wait is over! This year, I dressed up as… *drum roll please*… Sailor Moon!


The Fright Fest is an annual event and has always been my favorite because for only $20, you get access to 4 venues in The Strand and they blocked off the area so it’s exclusive! Also, since it’s an annual event, people look forward to it and they make sure to flaunt their amazing costumes! My top favorites are: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy (from Spongebob Squarepants); and Gaara and Kankuro (from Naruto)! Omg guys, Naruto made it in the Cayman Islands! I didn’t know these people watch asian anime!



Nightmare on Walker’s Road is a pretty spontaneous decision I made since I didn’t pre-order tickets for it. By the time I arrived, they were letting in the last batch for the season! I made it by a hair! I was with high school kids mostly and younger ones trick-or-treating around the area. It’s the first time I’ve tried a “horror house” here in Cayman because it really wasn’t a thing. I know in the Philippines there are a lot of fun activities out there, but this thing is so new here that I got so excited I felt like I was doing it for the first time. Basically, it’s a empty lot with cargo containers and old creepy school bus that they decorated. You follow a pathway and get spooked by the actors as walk. Fee is only $10 and all proceeds go to charity. The event is sponsored by Home Gas and The Rotary Club. It was such a fun experience!




Dead On Arrival: All Inclusive Halloween Event is last but not the least on the agenda this season. For $50, admission, full bar + shots, specialty drinks, and canape are included. The twist? It’s on a secret location and nobody knows where it is! The location was revealed shortly before the gates opened that same night. I definitely had fun dancing to songs, I haven’t been clubbing in a while. Since it’s a Saturday, the event ended at 12 midnight. So quick though! Just when we were about to get drunk lol. Nevertheless, it was a great afterparty and Halloween ender for me!



So how was your Halloween? I know the rest of the world is still in lockdown but I hope you get to enjoy being with your friends and spook yourselves a little bit this year. Til next time!

    Walt Disney World

    I went to Orlando Christmas last last year to do some shopping and went to Disney World while I’m there. My trip was only for three days and there was nothing much to do in such a short span of time. My goal really was just to spend some time away from the island and buy reasonably priced clothing among other things. I remember arriving on the 23rd of December and leaving on the 26th. I have come to realize that shopping in the USA at this time of the year, apart from Black Friday, is not a good idea — mainly because everywhere is packed with people and almost all stores are already empty! So in the end, I had barely bought anything lol…

  • New Beginnings

    New Beginnings

    This week has been productive for me. I’m currently in the transition phase of changing jobs and so at one point I am not so busy with my current job, but on another I need to set some ground work for my next job. I’ve been joining some networking events of finance professionals on island and fortunately met a lot of people in the industry. I’m pretty sure I’m going to see more often since I love attending conferences and fire side talks! The first event that I went to is hosted by the CFA society. They invited a speaker from the United States to come over and share outlook of the markets in 2023. It was a good event, although very technical at some…

    Coping

    Checking in today. This blog always lingers in the back of my mind, and even though I keep telling myself I’ll write something, I often donโ€™t. Is it that I’m getting older, or is it just that my energy drains faster these days? I promised I’d keep this space alive so I can one day look back and see how life wasโ€”even if itโ€™s the little things. Iโ€™ve said it before, but it still feels true: so much has been changing around me. Am I getting older faster than I thought? Lately, Iโ€™ve been struggling to manage my emotions and behavior. I havenโ€™t been great at recognizing what stresses me out, or how to stop taking everything so personally. And letโ€™s not even talk about…

    What happened in Miami last year?

    It’s that time of the month again, Halloween! This day last year I was on an adventure in Miami by myself. I was feeling nostalgic so I rummaged through my old blog and found this post about my trip. Definitely enjoyed my solitude in this one. This has been a long overdue post but Iโ€™d like to share with you some snippets of my short but sweet trip to Miami! I went there alone last Halloween, and stayed mostly in South Beach, at Freehand Miami Hotel. The beach was good but since I dunno how to swim, I wasnโ€™t able to dip in for a long time. Instead, I enjoyed the hotel amenities (it was hippy by the way and very millienial!) and ofcourse did…

  • Life Update: Week 2

    Life Update: Week 2

    Hey everyone, how have you been? To be honest, my week was somehow mediocre. It is not necessarily unproductive, but it isn’t as productive as I would like it to be as well. Unlike most people, I physically go to work every other day, and when I’m not, I’m either doing house chores, groceries, or bank runs. I thought everything was okay, until yesterday. To my surprise, I had a really bad panic attack. I thought I stopped having those a long time ago? It has gotten worse from how it used to be before. I was just having my dinner, and the next thing I know I was crying over my food, catching my breath; my hands numb and shaking. I had no idea…

  • The Hallotober Tag

    The Hallotober Tag

    I know it’s late to do the Hallotober tag since it’s November in like two days, but I’d like to go and participate in it anyway! Thanks to Izzy for tagging me, and Jordanne for this idea! Halloween has always been my favorite part of the year. I know some people would say Halloween isn’t something to be celebrated because of its origins, but common guys, it’s 2020! Halloween is fun because you can dress up as literally anyone and go to spooky parties! It’s that one time of the year where everybody suddenly becomes a cosplayer; and everybody suddenly has a supernatural experience to share. I love watching horror movies with my friends and be frightened with them, I don’t know, it makes me…
