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.

I love you, more than you ever knew. More than I ever knew. 

Wake of my mother, Maria Josefina (Josephine) Carlos-Raboca, is until tomorrow (Friday) at St. Alphonsus Parish, Magallanes.

You were a cut above the rest. I can’t believe you’re gone. I miss you so much, and I don’t know how Papa, Joyce, and I will ever go on without you.

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 =/
