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˜‹

  • My pregnancy journey

    My pregnancy journey

    Before getting pregnant, I imagined pregnancy would be a slow and predictable process. You find out, you watch your belly grow, you prepare the nursery, and then eventually the baby arrives. Thatโ€™s the version you see everywhere. My experience was different. I found out I was pregnant in early July. I remember staring at the test and just thinking, okayโ€ฆ this is real now. It felt exciting but also a little surreal. I didnโ€™t immediately feel like a โ€œmomโ€ yet. It felt more like I was stepping into something completely new and unknown. The first big moment for me was hearing the heartbeat. Up until that point, pregnancy still felt abstract. But hearing that tiny heartbeat made it real. There was actually a little person…

    Discovering Los Angeles: How We Spent Our Layover Exploring Iconic Spots

    As I mentioned in my previous post, we had a few days’ layover in LA on our way back to Cayman from the Philippines. I ensured we made the best of our short trip, so I booked a full-day tour from A Day in LA Tours. The trip was exhausting since the flight was 13 hours long, and immediately afterward, we went on a full-day tour. But to be honest, it was doable! We were able to visit Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Beverly Hills, Farmer’s Market, the Hollywood sign (from the Griffith Observatory), and the Hollywood Walk of Fame! The tour was so comprehensive that we didn’t feel like we missed out on any popular attractions. Santa Monica Pier At the heart of Santa…

  • I Didnโ€™t Expect Giselle to Haunt Me โ€” But She Did

    I Didnโ€™t Expect Giselle to Haunt Me โ€” But She Did

    Lately, Iโ€™ve been watching Natalia Osipovaโ€™s performance of Giselle, andโ€ฆ wow. I didnโ€™t expect to feel so much watching it, but I did. I still do. It wasnโ€™t just the dancing (though yes, she moves like sheโ€™s made of moonlight and memory). It was everything โ€” the music, the stillness, the way love and heartbreak and grace can live in one story, one body, one breath. Thereโ€™s something about Giselle that lingers with you โ€” like the echo of a song long after the final note fades. You think you’re just watching a ballet. But then it stays. Quietly. Gently. Like a memory you didnโ€™t know meant something until it started whispering back. Maybe it’s the way she loves โ€” fully, without hesitation. Maybe it’s…

  • Lazy Sunday

    Lazy Sunday

    Today is just a normal rest day for me. I started the day off with a glass of water and a 60 minute yoga workout. Ever since I discovered yoga I have been so interested in it that I want to do it almost everyday. I just stayed at home the whole day, cooked ramen, took a nap for a little bit, and continued watching Crash Landing On You. I live in the suburb part of the island so my view every morning is so peaceful and serene. I must say countryside is perfect for soul searching and meditation. If you haven’t tried yoga before I highly suggest you do. Especially if you are under a lot of stress and have trouble managing your mental…

  • We got married!

    We got married!

    I can’t believe it! I am now officially part of the married women club! Nothing much has changed, to be honest, given that my husband and I have been living like a married couple for a while now. But still, it’s nice to know that we’re now officially bound together for life.  We decided to get married in the Cayman Islands to avoid the tedious process of applying for a marriage license in the Philippines. We’ve been trying to sort out all the paperwork since January this year, but the back and forth of legal requirements took a lot of effort, time, and money. So, we decided to bypass all the red tape, get married locally, and do a destination wedding ceremony in the Philippines…

  • Hurricane Season in Cayman: Staying Safe and Finding Solace in K-Dramas

    Hurricane Season in Cayman: Staying Safe and Finding Solace in K-Dramas

    The hurricane season has started. Last week, we received a national advisory that a category four hurricane named Beryl was headed our way. This caused a lot of anxiety on the island, with everyone rushing to stock up on groceries and board their windows with plywood. Some might say we were overreacting, but those people probably hadn’t experienced the devastation of Hurricane Ivan. Although I wasn’t there, I’ve heard stories from friends and even my husband, who experienced it firsthand. Since then, the locals have been more alert and take extra precautions during hurricane season. It’s always better to be prepared and have nothing happen than vice versa. The government now requires new houses to be built according to specific guidelines to ensure they can…
