Or Day of the Dead, All Hallows' Eve or Halloween is one of the biggest holidays here in the Philippines (and in some parts of the globe). Other than Christmas Day, from October 31 to November 2, Filipinos prepare (a lot!) to honor their departed loved ones.
Our office had a little Halloween party last October 31st. I said little because it was not as extravagant as it was last year. Considering the short span of time to prepare, HR peeps pulled it off. I volunteered to be one of the judges.When asked why I wanted to be a judge, I couldn't admit that I have already told everyone that I'm a judge and I've accepted bribes, right?
As always, the creativity of Truelogic members is amazing. Look at these photos!
Ops Night Shit - Plants Vs. Zombies theme. Had there been more time to prepare, I'm sure they would've done better.
The boss attempted a selfie with me. Looks like he loved the kitty cat ears Ciara lent us.
More photos in FJ's album.
I think people took a bunch of photos during the party. Everywhere I go, there are groups taking photos. Never a shortage of photos. I am sure the Halloween party is just one excuse to take photos of themselves in fancy costumes. Just my theory. You can always prove me wrong.
The following day, we visited my daughter's grave. She passed away on All Hallow's Eve 16 years ago. Sucks huh? You left her all smiling and giggling that morning. Then in the afternoon, you find yourself holding her tiny hand in the ICU while she drew her last breath.
They say time heals all wounds but this one is definitely not healing at all. Never.
We brought her pretty flowers and had a picnic. The nieces and nephews ran around. There were so many people in the cemetery, with some even playing loud music, probably enticing the dead to wake up.
It was all good. But Hallowen will always be a sad sad day for me no matter what...
