All Hallows Eve
Posted by: dane in my experiences, wala lang!, tags: cute kids, halloween, meaning
After picking up the kids from school, we went straight to Otay Ranch Mall. We have these coupons that will expire on November 1. So we used it… We went to Wetzel’s Pretzels with a buy one, get one coupon… Hehe! Ok… Segue… Last night we almost got our dinner for free, as I’ve mentioned, we have these coupons right? Well it says there “Get a *whatever* for free!” but if you’ll read the fine print it also says there “with your second purchase a *whatever*” well, Ate Fanela and I went to different fast food chains. We went to Chick-fil-a (I don’t know what free food we got from there), to Burger king and got a free whopper and ICEE, to Mc Donald’s and got a free Big Mac and Chicken Premium sandwich… Well we did buy some other stuff too but we did get a lot of free for stuff just because they didn’t read the coupon very well… Back to my story, so we had pretzels and hotdogs, checked out some stores, had Starbucks and went home to prepare for the trick or treat-ers…
After our malling… Kuya Ace and the kids went trick or treating, and Ate Fanela and Lucas took Lola Betty home… So I was left at home… Well I chose to stay home; I wanna give out candies! Hehe! Another reason why I wanted to stay home is I want to look at the other kids’ costumes and take pictures of them… But I didn’t, I was too shy to ask them for a picture… hehe! Let me tell you about these four cute kids that I really wanted to take a picture of… They were Superman, Red Ranger, Snow White and Winnie the Pooh! They were so cute and adorable… Especially Pooh… he said “TWIK O’ TWEET” haaay! Hihi! If only you could see them!
I saw different kinds of costumes; I saw pirates, fairies, goddesses, knights, super heroes, vampires, zombies, witches, princesses, storm troopers… You name it! Hmmm… I also saw Goofy! He’s another cute kid! Hihi! Oh yeah and I saw a “hunter”! He was just in his shirt and shorts and he’s just carrying a plastic shot gun. Hehe!
Hmmm… Well, I really don’t get why we celebrate Halloween… Like decorate your house with scary stuff, dress up and give out candies or go trick or treating! I know that the ancient Celts believed that the world was populated by evil spirits that controlled everyday events like the weather, harvest, and bad luck of all kinds. They got the idea that to control the world they could appease these spirits with various sacrifices… and we are commemorating that event or ritual. (beat that Wikipedia!) hehe!
Anyway, I still don’t get it… Why spend $20 on your costume and just get a bag of candy? Why not use the $20 to buy yourself a bag of treats!?! (selfish!) haha!
Well, maybe I’m just not used to this Holiday… ‘cuz I was thinking… I was comparing it to Christmas, and they are kinda alike, they both celebrate something memorable that happened to us or to this world…
I may not be used to it… but I’m beginning to like it! Hehe! Well, you can click here to see our pictures.
