Early For Halloween Costume Party

A former officemate came in today wearing an all-black attire, high heel wedge and with a fully made-up face and dark shady eyes. She looked all set for a party and it was only late afternoon when she came in. What completed her attire was she was carrying a scythe. It was a plastic one but it actually completed her early Halloween costume.

She told us that her co-passengers in the jeepney she rode on our way to the office also made fun of her. She said that the driver said she looked scary enough even in broad daylight. Anyway, she brought along with the scythe her godson's Halloween costume. Apparently, the boy was afraid of scary Halloween costumes that her mother and godmother decided to buy him one so he can wear them for the Halloween party that night to enlighten him that those costumes are really unreal and made-up.

Happy Halloween!

Sexy Halloween Costumes

I was riding the jeepney on my way home the other night. There were three girls talking about what they will wear on their coming office Halloween party. One thing is common among their wishes, they wanted some sexy Halloween costumes. I was thinking, whatever happened to just cute, fun, or just really scary Halloween costumes. It seems that younger people prefer sexy things on anything. Nothing wrong with it but somehow, I find it overboard sometimes.

Like rainbow beacons, they sparkled colorfully in the dark. I couldn't make out their shape as we got nearer the entrance of the cemetery. Definitely, their sparkle caught the attention of the kids passing by the roadside. When we got there, I stopped and that's when I saw that they were colorfully lighted toys for the Halloween :) The red ones were plastic horns on the headbands while the multi-colored sparkly long ones were plastic swords. I heard two kids begging their moms to buy some as we moved along.

Halloween Is Coming!

It seems like it was just yesterday that we were all busy preparing for our Halloween Children's Party at the office. Now, Halloween is just around the corner again and I am curious if we will still have the same party as what we had last year. It was so much fun putting up the Halloween decorations as we were trying to win the Best Halloween Decorated Department. It was also quite amazing to see the Halloween decorations made creatively by some of my co-workers.


I had more fun though with our Halloween Children's party as the kids came with their best Halloween costumes. The party was held at our training room which was decorated with beautiful Halloween decorations. Most of the decorations were made by hand by our creative co-workers.

These were the kids in their Halloween costumes while participating in the Halloween trick or treat games:

Office Halloween Party 2008

I almost forgot to do this slideshow until I saw my co-employees’ pictures yesterday. We had our Halloween Party for kids last week after a long hiatus due to budgetary constraints. The party was a blast and employees used a lot of used carbon papers for the Halloween decorations and for some decorations, they pooled up their personal resources to come up with really cool Halloween decorations.

There were more than a 100 kids plus another more than a 100 more of wanna-be kids who made the party a huge success. Here’s the slideshow:

Happy Halloween!

…to everybody! I hope the Dallas, Texas earthquake did not dampen the Halloween spirit of the affected people. Nonetheless, let us be reminded that Halloween is not all trick or treating but a day to remind us of our dead.

Here’re some Halloween text jokes I got from a friend:

• One Sunday, a guy plan to go to church to pray for his girlfriend that died a week ago. That church was where both of them attended mass together. While walking for the entrance of the church, the guy suddenly felt weak, the more he gets further inside, the heavier his body become. As the mass ended, the guy was approached by a flower vendor and asked him, “Sir ang sweet mo naman.” He asked, “Bakit mo nasabi?” “Kasi, pinasan mo pa ang girlfriend mo papasok ng simbahan.” Happy Haloween!
• A girl was on the way to the dorm. She’s the only remaining passenger on the jeep. She had taken this route many times before, so she was surprised when the driver suddenly changed his course. Alarmed, she told the driver she’s off to the dorm. After few minutes, they returned to the original route and the driver dropped her off the dorm, but before letting her, he gave her few words of advice. “Ineng, pag uwi mo, hubarin mo agad yung damit mo at kung pwede, sunugin mo agad. Iniba ko yung ruta para makaiwas sa disgrasya. Kanina kasi, pagtingin ko sa salamin, wala kang ulo!” Happy Halloween!
