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 feel like we all have to collectively man up and be brave. Teamwork!

1. Whatโ€™s your favourite thing about October?
The thing about October is it makes me excited for the upcoming Halloween. It has that vibe where you want it to be festive like Christmas but at the same time you are looking forward to the trick-or-treating. 
2. Are you a big celebrator of Halloween? 
Yes I am! I make sure every year I have different costumes. Last year I dressed up as Medusa and went on a Halloween party bus! Stay tuned on who I am going to dress up as this year!
3. Whatโ€™s your favourite horror movie?
Thai movies will always be superior in horror for me. My favorite is Shutter (Thai version 2004).


4. Would you rather a cosy night in watching horrors or a big night out in a costume?

If you’d ask me that question 10 years ago I’d choose the first one. But now, I’d definitely pick the latter!


5. Which has been your most favourite costume to date?

The one I’m wearing tonight! So excited to reveal it in my next post!

6. Bobbing for apples or pin the hat on the witch? 
I have no idea what these are, but would love to try them!

7. How do you celebrate Halloween?

The past few years I make sure to dress up and attend parties. When I was younger, all I ever do is watch scary Filipino documentaries (e.g. Magandang Gabi Bayan), and make fun of the re-enactments. lol.
 
8. What’s your least favourite horror? 
The Ring American version. No suspense at all especially if you have already watched the Japanese version.


9. Do you have a favourite trick or treating memory? 
I don’t do trick or treating but my unforgettable Halloween experience was in 2018 when I was in Miami all alone walking around the streets at night. I saw three people consecutively getting arrested by the police. Such horror!
10. What’s your favourite thing about Halloween? 
I all want is seeing everyone dress up as a character and having fun!
11. Scary costume or Silly costume? 
A sexy one! Kidding aside, I’d go for silly.
12. What’s your favourite Halloween candy?
Kisses. I just finished eating them off now.
13. Ghost decorations or skeleton decorations?
Skeleton decorations are so lame. I like the ghost ones better!
I am tagging everyone who is reading this post. I hope you have fun this Halloween (and don’t take it too seriously)!
PS, I just got my new camera lens. That photo up there is the first photo that I took. ๐Ÿ˜‹

  • 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…

  • Halloween 2022

    Halloween 2022

    Hi friends! This is me trying to update my dusty old blog lol. As you all know, halloween is one of my favourite events in the year mainly because I love seeing people dressed up not just in spooky costumes but creative and cute ones as well! And since I’m a fan of Brooklyn Nine Nine’s halloween specials, I incorporated the same idea in my workplace. I recently joined the social committee and immediately took dibs of organising halloween this year. Last year, we had a spontaneous party and awards for best costume and best decor. So I thought of doing the same, but with one more additional competition: Amazing Race – Halloween Edition! I was not given any budget for this social so I…

  • Life Update: Week 4

    Life Update: Week 4

    Hey, how are you? Life update: I finally got to drive my car on the main road for the very first time yesterday. As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently got my driver’s license. It was nerve wracking but such a learning experience. The tip professionals would always tell me, assume that everybody else on the road doesn’t know what they’re doing. That way you’ll be more alert and cautious. Kind of helpful thinking that I am the smartest driver on the road lol. Weekends are always chill and slow for me nowadays, thankfully, unlike before where I work on Saturdays and  then do all my chores on Sundays. Can you believe? no more rest day left for me. For two years I…

  • Catching up

    Catching up

    Hi everyone, I’m writing to you now as a means of catching up for last month. I know a lot has been happening around the world especially in my home country, which makes me appreciate how privileged and blessed I am to be living here where the pandemic has been handled pretty well. I hope you guys are holding on. Anyway, last month has been (and I can’t stress this enough) HECTIC, in multiple facets of my life. Work per se has been voluminous,  CFA reviews and networking, home renovations, and finally launching our own business! All of that happened simultaneously in March. You can say yes I have been productive, but I have also abandoned a lot of other things like this blog, and…

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

    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?…

  • Batabano Carnival

    Batabano Carnival

    Since it’s almost carnival season (but has been postponed until further notice), I will take you to trip down memory lane with me in last years celebration! Batabano Carnival  is an annual festival held in the Cayman Islands every month of May. The island is home to more than a hundred nationalities, most (if not all) of which participate in light of community spirit. It is a cultural celebration filled with music, dance, food, costumes, heritage and culture, and ofcourse booze! lol. It is a pretty young carnival that has only been going on for 30 years (thanks to Rotary Club!) The highlight of the festival is the street parade composed of masquerade bands and *drumroll please…..* exotic costumes! Last years parade started from the Seven…
