Halloween Night at LBA
Our village had its annual halloween celebration highlighted by some games and costume competition among kids followed by a "Trick or Treat" about two weeks ago (Oct. 27, 2012). Weeks before the event, my stepmom and I were busy making our decorations for halloween. We actually start doing it during the first week of October. We enjoyed making those scary decorations and had been participating in the Annual "Trick or Treat" for kids.
Halloween Trick or Treat was not popular in the Philippines long ago. But Filipinos nowadays due to western influence had started making it a traditional practice in the city villages, malls and even in companies.
Our halloween decorations consist of two (2) white ladies, a witch, skeletons, zombie, demon, scary pumpkin head and masks, lighted pumpkins and an owl. We also placed some spider webs and dried grass. My family were in black attire and each one of us were wearing a lighted devil's horn. It was always a great feeling to see kids and some were accompanied by their parents visiting the house and enjoying our scary decorations. Most of them had their pictures taken and I also took some photos. Some children were very scared of what they see and would cry. The halloween scary sound that my father down loaded and played also added a big impact on the decorations. It was more scary !!!
By the way, our dogs were also in halloween costumes. My Mama Zen made some witch hats for our dogs and they all looked so cute. You will see them in below photos. Enjoy !!!

This is my dog, Cupid seated beside the candies the whole time. Some of the kids thought she was a stuffed toy. She was behaved and not moving.

- Mama Zen’s good! That’s Ascot worthy head gear!

- Cupid is just like me – she chose the best seat in the house!
It’s a week into the new year, but it’s Orthodox Christmas today, so here’s wishing you, Elvie, and your family, doggies included (of course!) all good things in 2013.
Thank you for your words of support. Looking forward to more stories (and pictures) from you.
