My Halloween story.....;)

Tweet

*I associated halloweens before with vampires, snakes, fires in hell, demons and other scary stuff i could think of as a kid. That i thought when this day of the year comes, all of those creatures will visit the earth and attack us humans. LOL! TV programs here and there are all but scary stuff too. But now, i realized that those things are all but pure imagination of mine and since dako naman ko ( i'm a grown up already), i've come to appreciate halloweens better. Though to be honest, i'm still scared to hear ghost stories yah know. I can't help it! Anyways, i celebrate halloween nowadays with fun. I get the chance to attend trick or treat parties in our office.( In the Philippines, especially in our place, we do not celebrate the 'trick or treat' thing. Not unless if you live in a subdivision where majority of your neighbors agreed to come up with that kind of activity or event. ) I would be bringing along with me my nephew who is really enjoying his candies and balloon searching there, (not to mention that i am enjoying it too. hehe^_*) As well as the foods and preparations in store for us. But, we never forget to visit our departed loved ones of course. We light candles and say our prayers there the day before November 1 to avoid traffic jams. Also, it has been a tradition in the family to prepare something for the dead if they'll be visiting us. (yes of course they'll be visiting us! Why not?.) My mama will cook the so called lutong pinoy 'biko' and 'binignit' in our house. She will also include boiled eggs to offer it in the altar. .Though it's not that 'bongga'(festive) our preparation may have been, we never fail to remember our beloved who were once with us. Not scary at all right?.!
