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˜‹

  • Mundane Moments

    Hey how is everyone doing? It’s been busy as usual for me, with work, business, errands, trying to get fit and a bunch of different things going on. It’s kind of hard to fit in documenting and sharing my life on social media these days. As you can see I am barely even writing anything on this space, well because of time limitations but mostly because what is even there to talk about? lol Anyway one day I had this bright idea of shamelessly filming myself to somehow show you guys how a simple day in my life is… and here it is. It was fun while it lasted but I have like 5% skills in video editing lol I hope I can be better…

  • Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park

    Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park

    I’ve always wanted to visit this tourist attraction ever since I came to the island but never really got the chance to do so because I live on the other side. I’m not a green thumb or a plant/flower enthusiast but I love going to botanic parks because of a lot of prospective subject to practice my macro photography. It is also a nice place to unwind, have a quick stroll, and appreciate nature in its most natural form. Last week, after so many self persuasions I finally decided to get up and get ready on a Saturday morning to go to North Side and enjoy Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park. It was very humid unfortunately so I ended up sweating all over throughout the…

  • 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…

  • 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?…

    Journey to Self-Discovery: From Humble Beginnings to High Society

    This post is dedicated to my dear friend Bea, who has consistently been my pillar of support and a trusted confidant whenever I’ve needed someone to turn to. Sometimes, I have this nagging feeling that I don’t fit in with the people I am surrounded with. I’m just a simple girl who once dreamed of being among the most intelligent and successful people in society. Sometimes, I feel like I’ve finally made it; other times, I wonder if I deserve to be here. There are moments when I feel like I’m trying too hard to fit in. I’m not sure if I’ve grown or if I’m just acting as the person I eventually want to become. I grew up in a modest background in the…

  • 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…
