Halloween Fever

Halloween.

Trick or Treat?

Who wants candy?

Haha. I never really tried that "trick or treat" thing even as a kid. I never experienced dressing up as a monster or as a ghost but I think that may be fun. I realized  I could never escape the Halloween fever. :D

Ok. I probably suck at parties like that because I drink coffee too much. You know what I mean. Aside from that, no matter how hard I try to ignore the Halloween season, it always gives me the chills. Halloween specials on TV, Halloween costumes on the street, Halloween topics on the internet, Halloween everywhere! I just can't escape the season. :D

While watching TV, I hate the feeling when I saw a trailer of a scary movie, then I don't want to watch it but I just couldn't take my eyes off it. Uhrgh! Then, that scary ghost or whatever appears (with a scary loud sound effect), *GULAT* haha! Then I remember that ugly, scary face until I reach my bed.

I remember as a kid, I used to watch "Verum Est" (if I remember right) that was hosted by Raymond Bagatsing. It was so scary that I could not sleep at night so eventually I stopped watching it though it was one of my favorite shows.

I saw a news article that Halloween parties are banned in Catholic schools. I don't have any comment on that  since I do not know all the rules of the Catholic Church regarding that. Maybe they don't want to see devils and other scary and demonic costumes lurking around their schools. I studied in Catholic Schools from Elementary to High School, they don't really stress Halloween parties and I have not seen any class during my time who celebrated this event. In college, they were not really that strict.

I have not yet decided where to go during All Souls Day. I might not visit in Loyola because I don't want to see my "other" relatives there. I don't want any more "chismis" to come up. Well, that's too bad if you have relatives like that. I might visit my grandparents after Undas.

Well, so much for that. Till next blog!

Happy Halloween!

Lamig ng HALLOWEEN, UNDAS o PASKO

Nararamdaman nyo na ba ang lamig ng pasko?
Or is it just the coldness of Undas?
Alin ba talaga dun?

Ano ang topic?
Undas o Pasko?

Syempre kahit na Pasko ang topic ko, mauuna pa din ang Undas kahit anong gawin ko.
Pero bago mag-undas may halloween muna. haha!


HALLOWEEN

Hindi ako fan ng katatakutan pero mukhang enjoy naman ang mga haloween parties. Kung may pera ka. Kasi hindi naman ganun ka-uso ang halloween dahil hindi naman dito sa Pilipinas nagsimula yan. :))
Hindi ko pa nararanasan umattend ng halloween party. Kayo naranasan nyo na ba? Anong feeling? Kwento. :) Feel ko tuloy ang astig pag takutan. Mas nakakatakot ang costume mas astig. Haha. :)

UNDAS

Ang Undas ay ang pag-aalala sa mga ating minamahal sa buhay na nilisan na ang ating mundo. By the end of the month puno nanaman ang mga cemeteries sa buong Pilipinas at sa ibang mga bansang gumugunita ng araw na ito. May mga kakilala ako na nakatira sa mga bansang hindi nagcecelebrate ng Undas kaya sumisindi na lang daw sila ng kandila para sa mga mahal nila sa buhay.

Eto na, ilang araw na lang at

PASKO NA!


Ang pinakahihintay ng lahat. Mapa-bata man, matanda, SMP man o hindi. (Hmm, that gave me an idea for another blog) Anyway, iba talaga ang diwa ng pasko sa Pilipinas. Hindi ko ma-explain pero iba yung nararamdaman kong saya pag parating na ang pasko. Feel ko lahat ng tao masaya, may pera man o wala.  Sana ganun lahat. Sana mapawi na ang kalungkutan ng mga taong malungkot para pagdating ng pasko, maramdaman na nila ang tunay na kaligayahan. Syempre, ang Pasko ay pagdiriwang ng kapanganakan ni Kristo. Yun ang pinaka-importante. :)

So ano, saan kayo excited? :)
