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!

    Ocho Rios Day 1: Fern Gully, Rio Cobre, Mahogany Beach

    Ahh, where do I even begin? Maybe with this: I think I have to come to terms with the fact that now that Iโ€™m older, I get tired so easily. Like, why does waking up early feel like a personal attack on my energy levels? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Anyway, we were up bright and early to pack and start the drive from Clarendon to Ocho Rios. If you didnโ€™t know, Ocho Rios is one of Jamaicaโ€™s most famous tourist spotsโ€”known for its waterfalls, lush greenery, and beach-meets-jungle vibe. Think tropical getaway, but with more culture and spice. My brother-in-law suggested we take the Spanish Town bypass instead of the usual route because of the potholes (seriously, Jamaicaโ€™s roads can humble even the best shock absorbers!). And honestly?…

  • A Slow Sunday in Mandeville

    A Slow Sunday in Mandeville

    Today was one of those slow-paced Sundays where we didnโ€™t really have a planโ€”we just drove around Mandeville with no particular destination in mind. Most of the shops were closed (as expected in the countryside on a Sunday), but that didnโ€™t stop us from exploring and soaking up the scenery. One of the most interesting places we passed by was what my husband calls the โ€œRed Lake.โ€ He told me that when he was a little boy, people believed the lake turned red because nearby factories used to dump chemical waste into it. ๐Ÿ˜ณ These days, itโ€™s no longer a lakeโ€”just a wide expanse of reddish dirt. According to one of the locals we spoke with, my husbandโ€™s story checks out. They said the dumping…

    Today’s my birthday!๐Ÿฅณ

    I’m spending it here in Jamaica with my husband, in his hometown. It’s a little extra special this year because tomorrow also happens to be our first wedding anniversary. Getting here was a bit hectic. I worked from 8:30AM until 3:30PM yesterday, rushed to the airport for our 5:30PM flight, landed and cleared immigration by 7:30PM, picked up the rental car, and then drove another 2.5 hours โ€” well, he drove not me lol It was my husband’s first time seeing his brother in a while, and his mom is also visiting at the same time (she’s based in the U.S.), so we ended up hanging out late. Around 1 AM, they surprised me with a birthday cake and sang happy birthday โ€” I wasn’t…

  • One Cayman Carnival

    One Cayman Carnival

    Today went to the annual adult street parade for Batabano / CayMAS in George Town. There were loud music, colorful costumes, people dancing in the streets, random strangers hyping each other up, drinks flowing everywhere! It was one of those events where you can just feel everyone letting loose and enjoying life for a day. If youโ€™ve never experienced Caribbean carnival before, itโ€™s basically a huge cultural celebration rooted in music, freedom, history, and self-expression. Different islands celebrate it differently, but the common themes are soca music, elaborate costumes, dancing, and community. Carnival in the Caribbean has deep historical roots tied to emancipation and cultural identity, evolving over generations into the massive celebrations we see today. What made this year interesting is that Caymanโ€™s two…

    Fun things to do in Cayman, other than water sports!

    Hey everyone! How was your week? Mine has been pretty hectic, a lot of changes in my workplace and I had to take on a big responsibility all of a sudden. I spend my 7 hours at work fully and productively. After work I roam around West Bay and George Town to practice my driving skills, and do some errands every now and then. Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is work, eat, and sleep! Anyway, back to what I was saying, my mentor resigned effective immidiately before I was fully trained so I had to take on the responsibility earlier than expected, with support only from the offshore team. So much drama and tea! Well I could feel that she wasn’t really…

  • Metro Manila Pride March and Festival

    Metro Manila Pride March and Festival

    Hey everyone, how are you? Today, I’m going to take you to a trip down memory lane when I was still in Manila celebrating the 2017 Pride Parade. This was my first time attending such event and I must say I had so much fun. Iโ€™ve never been to a parade this colorful and diverse. There were fun games, merch booths, food stalls, and live performances from well-known personalities. Not to mention the music was booming for 12 hours straight, so there were no dull moments. For those who are not familiar with the Pride Parade, it is a celebration of diversity, inclusion, social and self acceptance, legal rights, and pride for our LGBTQ community. The venue was in front of Marikina city hall so security…
