a week late, but because I feel so bitter for missing out on dressing up this Halloween (insanely jealous of everyone’s pictures back in Hong Kong), I’m posting a picture of my costume last year just to feel as if I celebrated somehow.

Just got home from Attica with Nina and Carla. They’re dragging me into participating in a Dating Game next week, and since there’s no backing out for Carla, she won’t go down without bringing me along! :|
This is what I look like tonight with 17mm (bigger than the standard 15mm) brown contacts! Creepy or cool?
covering “Love the Way You Lie” on the piano (I’m Rihanna, he’s Eminem); before I cut my bangs :|
Who me?
You’re actually talking to me?
My name? -
And you want to know my name too
Well it’s Jonathan
But don’t bother telling me yours
Yes, I know who you are - Julienne
You’re 5’4 and your favorite color is
Well you don’t have one
That’s just the thing
You’re way too interesting to have one
Your eyes are brown though
Saw them once
When you sat across my bench
Skimming through your calculus book
Which class you held
In the building across mine
On the 3rd floor
I was on the 2nd
Always looking up
Hoping to catch you dillydallying
Hoping to catch you
But I never did
Not even a glance
But that day on the benches
I saw your almond eyes -
The way I’ve always wanted to see them - seeing me
When you looked up from your book
Only to catch my glance
Okay fine
My stare. - It was a stare
And I saw them - brown as they were
It seemed to be your theme
Brown so was your skin
Golden though
As you were
The first time I ever saw you
Funny, I know
No?
Sad?
Okay
Sad and alright, maybe a little funny
*flight 5J679 bound for Shanghai now ready for boarding
But it could be different you know
I could be the man of your dreams
As you are mine
I’m still waiting to catch you
If only you’d fall.

Happy Halloween!
I spent All Hallow’s Eve in Ponti dressed as - can you guess? - the Angel of Death. Halloween proper (October 31) was spent at Las Casas Filipinas de Azucar (Bagac, Bataan) with the Carlos Clan. That place is truly something Filipinos can be proud about. A remaking of history and genuine preservation of heritage. More on that in coming posts.
It’s also the first time trick or treating was practiced in our village, Paseo de Magallanes! My sister and I bought lots of candies and made 28 mini-lootbags for the kids who trick or treated here :) Too bad we weren’t here to see their happy faces after giving them candies, and too bad Gru wasn’t here to be dressed up in doggy costume and showered with affection by them!
And last but not the least, I am so happy with the shoes I’m wearing in this picture. It was a last minute purchase after going to Philippine Fashion Week last Saturday in theMall of Asia Complex. I was looking for combat boots-inspired heels, and voila! They were perfect!!!! And much, much cheaper than their counterpart at Aldo. I was trying to pose as an angel who just landed on earth, but I wasn’t able to get the effect I was aiming for =/

"you, the great confidant. the robin to every batman, the satellite to every planet. you're a bright star shining behind the shadow of another. a great spectacle of magnificence dying to be discovered. a great enigma it is that no one cares to notice. that none dared to see through and beyond the lines and your flaws. a brilliant dancer waltzing away alone with little people who dared to watch.
