Live like We’re Dying

“Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it” – a classic Cady Heron line, I know. But with its proximity to the first days of November, which means Undas, and the recent natural malevolence going on, I think the recent theme has been death. From Paul the Octopus to Kookie Ramirez to Indonesians to Blake-Penn romance, death is all over!

But seriously, a lot of us don’t even know what Halloween means or how it originated. My stuck knowledge says that people dress up just because the ancient Celts feared that the spirits would mix with the human crowd. So we have to dress up like them to not be given the leer.

Yesterday, kids squeezed in the newsroom for Trick or Treats. How cute they all were!

Darth Vader’s mom was like, “Smiiile” when she urged the kid to come pose with me. Again, people.

The hour-long event was thrilling enough for me who didn’t get to TrickorTreat when I was a kid. (Dressing a la United Nations doesn’t count.) So here are shots in the office taken by co-writer Shiela Reyes. Worth the pictoblog cos the hell with me being busy 😦

HAPPY HALLOWEEN anyway guys!

Sabaw.
