TRICK OR TREAT

I researched the history of trick or treat on the net and found this and I quote "Trick-or-treat is a customary practice for children on Halloween in many countries. Children in costumes travel from house to house in order to ask for treats such as candy (or, in some cultures, money) with the phrase "Trick or treat!" The "trick" is a (usually idle) threat to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given to them. In North America, trick-or-treating has been a customary Halloween tradition since the late 1920s. It typically happens between 5:30pm and 9:30pm^[1] on October 31,^[2] although some municipalities choose other dates.^[3] Homeowners wishing to participate in it sometimes decorate their private entrances with artificial spider webs, plastic skeletons and jack-o-lanterns. Some rather reluctant homeowners would simply leave the candy in bowls on the porch, others might be more participative and would even ask an effort from the children in order to provide them with candy. In more recent years, however, the practice has spread to almost any house within a neighborhood being visited by children." - Wikipedia 

Halloween is one of the most awaited activity in the office. We stayed late at night to decorate our cubes and make sure that it looks spooky to the children. It was very stressful because we were hitiing 2 birds with one stone, we had to decorate while finishing all deliverables to the client making sure they are on time.

 I was supposed to have dinner in the upper photo but I cancelled it because there were so many things to do. I was the one who initiated the dinner but I was the one who cancelled it, funny right? I know I left my friend disappointed that night but I'll make sure to catch up with him this week. 

We really had fun that day and ate our lunch together at Brown cup and I ordered Hungarian sausage with cheese but was not satisfied with the serving if there's a sunny side up egg on the side would really made a difference but thank you to Leslie and Mildred for feeding me with their extra rice and left over pork chop. 

 Priceless friends

Yummy but cannot satisfy my big appetite. hehe :)

I really envied Ludge's meal. I will really go back to Brown cup and order this! Thanks Ludge for giving me a part of the pancakes. :)

After the sumptuous lunch we headed back to the office and slept. But for me no sleep happened because my dad called and invited me over for a family lunch. I said NO but my father insisted so I gave in.I was really full that day! While with my family over lunch, Leslie texted me for Ludge's make-up so I hurriedly went back to the office and was shocked to see a flock of people and children with their costumes waiting for the elevator to open. There are 7 elevators in the building but that afternoon was different, it was really a busy elevator afternoon and you really have to wait.

I was cramming over Ludge's make-up, I was really scared that it will not turn out the way I wanted it to be, I didn't want to fail Ludge's expectation on the "zombie look" he tried to achieve. I was praying the whole time while doing the make-up asking for God's wisdom on what to do next with Ludge's look because first of all I'm no good at scary make-up looks, I just researched in Pinterest and followed diligently the steps there. God is really good though it didn't turned out the way it should be but still Ludge won as the BEST zombie look that day. 

Congrats Ludge :)

November 1 (All Saint's Day) I spent the entire time with my family at family park. At first I thought it was just a joke that we will go to Family Park but NO they were really serious and I told my parents we could spend it somewhere like in the house why Family Park? But I ended up enjoying the seesaw. I miss playing like a kid.

TOP FIVE TIMELESS ROMANTIC SONGS

I'm a music lover and I usually update myself with new tracks yet I stay in love with timeless pieces that will never fade with time.

A romantic song is one of my favorites.

I'm sharing my favorite love songs that I find timeless :)

5.) Just a kiss - Lady Antebellum

The lyrics of this song and the melody amuses me.

The video begins with a young woman, Joy, entering a train and discovering an iPad in her backpack. The iPad has a video of her boyfriend with a sign written in French words that mean "Don't forget about me," and also some videos of the couple's travels throughout London, Paris, and Berlin, after which the couple bid each other farewell. A subsequent scene shows Joy's boyfriend finding her sitting on a train seat and they share a kiss. Joy is then seen awoken from sleep as a man named Brady, who looks exactly like the boyfriend in Joy's dream, sits next to her. Brady apologizes for waking her and asks if she minds if he sits next to her. The two make introductions, and Joy mentions her dream. Brady then takes out his iPad case (exactly the same case as the one Joy had in her dream), and smiles at her. Joy smiles back, having experienced this deja vu moment. - Wikipedia

4.) Terrified by Katharine Mcphee ft. Zachary Levi 

Katharine's voice is magical :)

"Terrified" is the second single from American singer Katharine McPhee's second studio album, Unbroken, which was released on January 5, 2010. The song features singer/songwriter Jason Reeves. The song was written by American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi and Reeves. - Wikipedia

3.) Marry me by The Train 

I love this song so much!! the title of the song is the most romantic words ever... I love the harmony, the melody, the lyrics, the video and the band it's a WHOLE PACKAGE

The music video for the song was directed by Lex Halaby. The concept of the video consists of three main outlets - it starts off with separate shots of different couples sitting on a couch and reminiscing about the start of their relationships and the details of how they met. The rest of the video alternates between two different environments, starting with a diner in which a love at first sight moment occurs between Pat Monahan and the waitress of the diner, played by Anna Camp, when their eyes meet. The second alternate environment is the band performing the song, with drummer Scott Underwood on piano and Jimmy Stafford on guitar, with a gray background. The story of the video progresses with the waitress looking at the table where Pat was sitting only to find that he has left, causing her to become regretful of not taking a chance to talk to Pat. The waitress eventually runs out of the diner, hoping that her true love has not gone far, but is disappointed to realize that that's not the case. She then returns to the table where Pat was sitting and finds that he's left his hat. She looks up to see Pat return to the diner, their eyes meet, and he smiles. The final shot of the video shows two steaming cups of coffee on either side of a table in the diner. - Wikipedia

2.) All the love in the world by The Corrs

I love this song personally because I find this a reflection of myself. A girl who believes who has everything, a family that she loves and loves her, friends that will always be there for her, A career that keeps her busy and happy but every time she looks back she misses one thing and that's her heart. She's afraid to love thinking its not gonna work out, Afraid to be rejected and afraid to open up. She needs someone who will prove to her that love is not an illusion and gonna stood up for her weaknesses. She needs someone who really sees her and gonna stay for a lifetime and just for a moment. 

"All the Love in the World" was originally included on their third studio album, "In Blue" (2000).^[1] The song was later included on the soundtrack of the 2001 romantic comedy film America's Sweethearts, starring Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones and John Cusack.^[2] It was released as a promotional single to the film, with a remix version being available in its soundtrack^[2] and in a promotional single (which includes the album version, as well),^[3] and with a music video with scenes of the film being released to further promote it.^[4]

"All the Love in the World" was written by The Corrs (Andrea, Caroline, Sharon and Jim), while Robert John "Mutt" Lange co-wrote and produced the song. - Wikipedia

1.) I knew I loved you before I met you by Savage Garden

This is my ultimate favorite romantic song.. This song depicts a love that is meant to be. Falling in love with someone whose characteristics were embedded in your mind right before you met him. When a time comes you finally say the words " He is the one ".

The music video was filmed by director Kevin Bray in August, 1999 on a New York City Subway set that had previously been used on the sitcom Seinfeld.^[1] It features Hayes playing out a romantic plot on a subway train, with a female passenger (played by American actress Kirsten Dunst) as the object of his affections. At one point, the train comes to a stop due to a power outage; red emergency lighting comes on and everyone in the carriage joins hands. Hayes, who is sitting opposite his aforementioned love interest, extends his hand to her. As they touch, the video cuts to a montage of the couple walking through a park, bathed in sunlight, laughing and holding hands. The video then cuts back to the carriage as the power comes back on and the train pulls into the station. Hayes and the woman exit with the other passengers, and share a fleeting glance before going their separate ways. Shots of the band performing alone on the subway platform and in the carriage are interspersed throughout the video. - Wikipedia
