Autumn is finally here



although i'm going to miss summer so much, there are a lot of things i like and anticipate about this season. i like how the colorful autumn leaves fall on the ground and hear it crunch as i step on it. i love stepping on things that crunch. i don't know why? sometimes, i even step on snails when i'm angry and somehow, i feel better after. i know that sounds cruel but oh well. anyway, back to autumn. i always anticipate Halloween and most especially Thanks Giving during this season. the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin is just everywhere. *sigh*

holloween, is always interesting here. you never know what surprises you find at home, at the mall or even in the streets.

take this guy for sample. he gave me the creeps when i was crossing the street. i can't help but feel he would attack me for some reason. he looked like one of those hooligans who kidnap girls and force them into their big white rapist van. i got to spend 5 minutes with him on the cross street though, so i got to know him better. haha. he pressed the pedestrian button for me. the traffic light took forever to settle all the cars, so, i took a picture of this kind monster. he didn't speak though, i relied on his hand gestures.



so, on halloween, i couldn't decide whether i should be the girl from the broadway musical "hairspray" or be an evil pixie or a dark angel (depending on which kind of set of wings i got from hot topic).


i got the wig from my mom. she bought it for me as a souvenir when she went to vegas to watch the musical. i didn't really have the dress for it and the white makeup and blue lashes. so, i decided to wear this whole look next year. or depending on what my mood is.


moving on to my next idea.. i thought, i should be a dead pixie but then, i thought being an evil one sounded better. so, i got the makeup and fake lashes from hot topic. and then, i couldn't decide if i should go for dark angel wings or the red pixie wings and whatever costumes that came with it. so, i skipped the whole costume and just got the makeup.
when i finally decided that i wanted to be an evil angel, the costumes sold out.

so, then, i decided i didn't feel like going to west hollywood anymore. i told my friend jenny the night before halloween that i couldn't make it anymore cuz i don't know what to wear and all my halloween costumes are still in the cargo being shipped here. but, she wouldn't let me cancel out on her, so, she let me borrow her swinging 50's outfit.



i worked on the day of halloween night and then, took the day off cuz i knew i was going to get tired from partying the night before. it was interesting cuz there were a lot of people shopping and all dressed up. if i wasn't so busy working, i would've taken a lot of pictures of people dressed up and all. i did take this one pic when the mall manager took the time to show me who he really was. he's a cool guy.. he always says "hi" when he passes by.

hhhmm.... i wonder..

before, i went home that day, i stopped by rhinomart to buy two of my youngest siblings the white and black makeup and trick or treating bags. and in return, i got a cut from their candy earnings. muhahaha. i figured since i'm too old to go trick or treating and really i was going some place else that night; it be a good idea to invest on my siblings. they've never trick or treated before, so, i thought this would be something nice for them to experience.

the loot..

i <3 picture posts.

step on snails?! you cruel, you! i'm scared of snails but i like to kill those worms that come out after the rain. i'd put salt on 'em until they cringe to their death. haha!

i never experience halloween that way except when we had those halloween parties back in the old days that we get to dress up. halloween here is all about ghosts and the unthinkable.

i noticed baskin robbins on the recent pic. argh! i'm starting to crave for their ice cream and shakes.

haha. who's cruel now? you slowly torture and kill them. i make it easier for them. hahahaha.

but yeah, i think halloween in abu dhabi is as close as it gets to halloween here. they do the same things at the schools here. except, they do it in the day time and no dancing. everyone's just dressed up for the whole day going about daily routine. which is kind of cool too.

mmmmm.. baskin! that was a $5 gift certicate. i wanted to jack it so bad! i didn't know who it belonged to.. hehe.. but then, i felt bad. so, i didn't touch it.
