A Gloomy Morning

ON A GLOOMY SATURDAY MORNING

Clouds heavy and dark

Inside sadness fills the heart

Trees lift my spirit

Unilab Run United 3 2011

Unilab Run United 3

Run United 3, the third leg of the RunRio Trilogy 2011 was held today, November 13, 2011 at the SM Mall of Asia.  There were about 14,000 runners who participated as announced by the emcee and I was one of them.  I missed the Run United 2 this year.  I registered but on the day of the fun run,  I got a terrible migraine and I was not able to make it.  Just like last year, there were areas intended for  Active Seniors, Active Adults and Active Kids.  Proceeds of this fun run will be donated to Charitable institutions :  Gawad Kalinga and Hero Foundation.  There were other SunPower employees who participated today but did not get the chance to see them during the event.

I saw Coach Rio dela Cruz, the 27-year-old high-speed roadrunner, running coach, and running events maestro and had a photo with him.  There were a lot of people lined up to take a photo with him.

Laguna Bel-Air 1 Trick or Treat

Halloween Trick or Treating is an annual event in the village where I live.  As early as first week of October my family is already planning for the stuff that we intend to put up as our halloween decorations.  It is always one of our project every year.  My stepmom also loves doing it and we combine our ideas to create some scary stuff.

OUR HALLOWEEN DECORS

Scary husband and wife

Parents and kids who visited our house were amazed by our halloween decors.  Many had their pictures taken. Young children were also afraid and were screaming.

THE GRAVEYARD

This is our neighbor's halloween set-up.  The owner incorporated sounds, lighting, and smoke.  Their daughter (child seated) also played a role. With all the effects, it really looks like a graveyard and it is hair raising.

CHILDREN'S FACES DURING THE HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT

My Disney Halloween ~ SunPower Trick or Treat !!!

It’s been a yearly activity at SunPower to celebrate Halloween. The highlights of the event involves a program and games for the children followed by “Trick or Treat”, best in costume competition and a Halloween décor contest. For two consecutive years, it has become part of my agenda to decorate the Administration area not to join the contest but to add fun and excitement to the Halloween spirit. To make those decorations is time consuming and very tiring but I am happy to do it for the children. Last year, my theme was “Creatures of Darkness” so it was so scary. This year, I have lighten it up and put a touch of Disney characters for the children. I ended up with the theme “Disney Halloween”. My colleague and I combined Disney and some scary characters. I hope next year, I still have the motivation to dress-up our area during Halloween.

Our Disney Halloween Castle

I made this Snowhite from card board, cartons and colored papers.  Her face is so cute

There is something new this year, SunPower celebrated Halloween with our new Vice President for SunPower Operations, Mr. Jascha Ortmanns. I advised him to bring some candies and he brought a lot of goodies with him for the Trick or Treat. I asked him to stay in front of our Disney Halloween castle which is our Trick or Treat area. Maybe next year, I will ask him to wear a Halloween costume. He could be Count Dracula…he, he, he. Do you think he will do it ?
