Trick or Treat?

Happy Halloween to everyone. Perhaps most of you (especially the kids) are busy trick or treating around the neighborhood or celebrating a Halloween party. Halloween is usually observed at the last hour of October 31st. It also derived from a Scottish word meaning All-Hallows-Even or 'evening'. Common activities during this day is the trick or treat, costume party, pumpkin carving contest, ghost story telling and horror films played at the movie house.

So, to all people celebrating Halloween all over the world, enjoy and have great hallow night!!!

Book By Zafon

Yaay! My friends let me borrow their books and I felt guilty because I have not yet read it, hehe. Right now, I have here The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I don't know the plot of the story yet and my friend just told me it's quite dark, and that what made me curious about this book. I'll just post later my review on this book. But if you have read it, you're welcome to share your opinion with me here. Perhaps I'm going to start reading this book as soon as I'm done with this entry, hehe. Oh, Halloween's almost near. I guess some of you are preparing for a hallow or costume party or others may be busy carving their pumpkins.. So, have a great one!!!

Pumpkin Carving 2010

It's already October and people are already looking forward for a Halloween celebration. Others thought of buying of their Halloween costume. Perhaps some of you are more interested in pumpkin carving. Yeah, it's really interesting to see other people's work of art. What we see commonly during Halloweens are pumpkins that has eyes and mouth. But there are some people who really go out of their way to make the pumpkin look like somebody famous. I heard that there's a contest of pumpkin carving out of Lady Gaga's image.. hmm, that would be interesting considering her various styles, it's gonna be quite challenging. So, what's in store for you during Halloween?

Halloween Costume

Halloween may be over but I can still see costumes being displayed at the mall these days. The great advantage now is that these costumes were sold with big discounts. I guess some people wouldn't mind buying it for the next year's use.

My daughter has plenty of costumes because we bought her a new one each year. She had a fairy costume, Little mermaid costume, Vampire, Princess Belle, Wizard, Angel, and a lot more but most of them won't fit in her anymore. She grew up so fast that some of her costumes were worn only once. This year, however, I told her that I will not buy a new one and use the old costume instead during their Halloween Fun Day. She didn't agree at first but after a lot of convincing, she finally conceded.

Recalling the incident two years ago, my daughter used to be very scared just by looking at the scary looking costumes and masks. Once, I had a hard time getting her out of the store because she was so frightened looking at the displays on the stalls. I almost lose my patience until finally, the female guard helped me to get her out. I could not imagine ourselves being stucked in there for the whole day!

Now, it's quite ironic that she preferred to look scary just like her classmates. She even wanted to buy the ghost costume but I declined for I find it so simple and I could not see her face, too. But I have to admit that it was fun looking at her donning different costumes.

Still, I am thinking of buying her a new one right now after I found Indian Lady Halloween costumes at the net. Their displays looked good plus it's for sale, too! Guess I'm going to avail it!
