Halloween Party

October 31, 2008



So after some days of preparation we finally had our Halloween Party which also happens to be Tina's(my officemate) birthday , during the a.m. we were still finishing up on the decorations , calling Goldilocks and Ambers to make our order(spaghetti, cake, palabok, shanghai rolls and drinks), at around 3 pm our guests(the kids or our officemates) started to arrive and they changed into superhero costumes and they look so cute, some of my officemates had a nosebleed from talking to them(they are all used to speaking in English by the way) so when Edvie found out that they can understand and even speak Tagalog, he got a little pissed and said "Eh marunong ka pa lang mgtagalog pinahirapan mo pa ko ! " hahahaha, when everyone is already there we started the party.First we had a prayer, led by Val, then a small speech from our Team Manager Ms. Dainty and of course the birthday girl Ms. Tina , then we played games like charades,pinoy henyo( where there would be a word sticked on your forehead, but in our case it was posted on the wall behind the player, who will then try to guess that word by asking questions to his teammates,and they can only answer yes, no or it's possible) well it was pretty hard considering that I never expected the word to be manananggal hahaha, and then after this game we played "arrange yourself" that was also fun because you will get to find out a lot of things about your teammates,(arrange yourself according to the year you graduated high school in ascending order) hahaha now we know who is the oldest in the office, we even know who is the fattest, heaviest and who has the biggest foot.After the grown up games the we had the kids play hep hep hooray which is very easy, actually it's the only game we can think of the won't end up with the kids getting hurt . And Ardee and Edvie interviewed them one by one which is really funny because of their answers.And then it's time to eat , in a few minutes the food is already gone I guess everyone was so hungry after playing, so now it's time for giving out candies the kids have so much fun , I can tell because there was I think twenty of us who had loads of candies to and seven of them so their pumpkin jars have been filled to the brim after passing just three stations so Sherman had to push the candies in to make room for more candies on Juliana's jar it was really funny, it was really nice to see the smiles on their faces, I should have remembered to give out toothbrushes as well because I'm sure they will get cavities from eating all of that candy, well the candies we had were too much so when the kids finished filling their second sack of candies and gave up taking more, we( the grown ups trick or treated on each other, in short we exchanged candies, but I gave all of mine to them I just saved some cheese cupcake for merienda, because I know I can't eat too much sweets, it's bad for my skin condition and also because we have a history of diabetes). It was a lot of fun, we'll probably do it next year , if I'm still working there :)
