The Witch's 100th

Hooray!

My last post, the one about the Zambales Coves, was my 100th blog post and as of writing, my blog has a little more than 10,000 visits. Doing the math, that's 100 readers per post, on average, and that makes me crazy!! That could be the same 100 persons every new post i publish, or maybe 10,000 different people reading just one post, but I don't care. I'm just so happy! You guys... Thank you so much! My thankful heart goes to each one of you out there, all 10,000 of you. Well, if you read more than one post, that means more love goes to you. ❤️❤️❤️

Anyway, by now you might be wondering who "The Witch" is. Well, it's me, of course. haha.

Last Halloween, the first I spent in the city, my niece and I went to a trick-or-treat event at a mall. She dressed as Sofia the First and I went as a witch, but I want to be called The Witch, just because. haha. Actually, I was the result of my niece's rejects. She was supposed to go as a witch, thinking halloween is only for scary costumes. When she was told she could go as a princess, she decided she would. We didn't want the props she already bought to go to waste so I decided I'd use it.

From my closet, I took out a dress I used at a friend's birthday so I could use it the second time. Yes, I had just used it once after I bought it last Christmas (almost a year now) because the dress is just so maarte and so papansin if you use it on normal days, well at least I think it is. Also, it matches my niece's witch hat! For the shoes, I have this favorite pair of black heels that is unfortunately not mine. So I had to call my sister to borrow it from her. With my niece's props, I was ready to go. When I saw myself in the mirror, I thought I'd give it an Angel twist so I put on patterned stockings and Voila!

What amazes me is that I really like how all the borrowed things came together. I just added those pretty stockings and had fun. What matters is how you put your stamp on things and werk it with attitude. Because really, what we contribute in this world is our unique personality. *wink*

Zombie Night Run 2015

Happy Halloween! There were a lot of events for the halloween weekend including a night run, trick or treats, and halloween parties.

This year, no holidays were declared giving us just one day to go to both my parents' hometowns to visit my grandparents' graves. My parents decided to skip the province, which means I get to spend my first halloween in the city and enjoy all those events.

When I heard about the zombie run, the first people I honestly thought of going with were my friends. At the day of the event, some had more important commitments, some cancelled, some already went to the province, leaving me with no choice but to invite my parents. I initially thought they wouldn't want to go because they're busy or they just don't enjoy events like this. This was why I was shocked when they said yes with excited smiles. They knew my sister and I are going to that night run but never said that they also want to join.

Our parents respect that as adults, we live our own lives that's why they allow us to go out with friends when they 'secretly' want to spend time with us. Sometimes, they're just waiting for an invitation from their children because they want us to want to be with them instead of being with other people.

So, here we are before and after running from and playing patintero against the zombies.

finally finished the race! my dad has 2 'lives' left while my mom and i only have 1 each..

one trick my dad showed me - misdirection. zombies rarely looked down. that balloon is pinned to his socks. :)

No offense to my friends but I'm somehow thankful they cancelled because I really had a great night with my family. I invited my parents because I have no one else to ask but I'm super glad I did and I would do it again. It surprised me how great it felt when I was trying to survive the zombie-infested area and heard my parents call out my name looking for me, and when my dad gave up one of his 3 life-balloons just so he could stay at the side to wait for me get through the obstacles. This night is an unforgettable family bonding experience.
