Last day of October : Trick or Treat *First and foremost, I want to greet everyone a Happy Halloween. We finally reached the last day of the October 2021, for sure a lot of us here already achieved thier goals. Tomorrow or days from now, we are going to read a lot of articles about achievements.* *Let me have this article to formally end my 2 weeks goal of sharing spooky yet funny experiences. Hopefully you found those stories interesting, but at last all I want to convey is to keep praying and strengthen you faith to God.* ***Let me Flex to you my sponsors, one of those persons who guide and support me throughout my journey here. You guys can check them too:)*** ________________________ I have mentioned before that Halloween is our biggest occasion next to Christmas. Halloween was like a reunion for most Filipinos; a time to gather and visit their love ones at the cemetery. Since it was a pandemic, most of us visit cemetery 2 or 1 week before October 31 - November 2 which was supposedly the exact day of celebration, it depends on the family on what day they prefer. Before, we have this ***Matanglawin***, an educational tv show which was hosted by Kim Atienza or Kuya Kim. It was a Halloween season that time when one of their topics was, why people wear horror costumes during Halloween. According to Kuya Kim, people before already believed that every Halloween, ghost and other spiritual entity have the privilege to roam around on earth. Since people are afraid of ghost, they wear scary costumes or mask to act as a ghost too. In this case, if a real ghost might see them, then it will think that they are with them. For example, you wear a White Lady costume, once a real White Lady saw you, it will think you are a ghost too and no need to scare or get you.

How do you celebrate Halloween in this pandemic? I spent my last two weeks of October sharing real life experience of horror stories, and I encountered some comments saying they are not celebrating Halloween. But what's good about it? They still greet and wish me luck, a big sign of love and respect. In our case, we only stay at home and prepare flower and foods to offer. Candles are also ready for tomorrow, but hoping that I can't feel something scary. *Lol!* And since I love horror and cartoons, I prefer to watch animated movies. If you want to spend your Halloween to bond with your family, then you like cartoons or have kids at home, these movies are the best to spend it: Monster House The Nightmare Before Christmas Corpse Bride The Addams Family Hotel Transylvania Caroline To end this article, I will share another short story. When my grandpa was just a kid, he was tasked to take care his baby brother when his parents are busy. One day, her mother need to go to the market to buy some vegetables, her mother told him to watch his baby brother until she got home. Grandpa said yes, then her mother go. Just a few minutes, her mother came back and took his baby brother from the hammock. My grandpa just look at her mother, and continue to play. After an hour, his mother came back, and asked *"where is your younger brother?"*. He was confused and said, *"you take him earlier".* They immediately went to a Balete tree, provide some food for sacrifices, hoping that they will bring back his younger brother. But none, after that incident, they haven't seen his younger brother again.
