I blogged right away because I want to share what happened to me this day.

I asked my students to use it in sentences:

Student 1:      I like a halcyon place to study.

Z:                      Okay, another.

Student 2:     I hope that our country will be a halcyon place.

Z:                     Okay good. One more…

Student 3:    Ma’am, halcyon Friday.

And everyone laughed. :D :D

Happy Halloween Anyway! >_<

Halloween has been sensationalized today by Filipinos. We now have these parties for kids, and even for adults and they are really serious dressin’ up!

I mean, we didn’t have that when we were young, just only the spooky episodes in “Magandang Gabi Bayan” of Noli De Castro to make us feel that it is November 1st. I think Halloween is celebrated before November 1 because technically, the first day November is spent to pray and visit the graves of our loved ones.

Anyway, I might as well “join the bandwagon.” Haha!

How? Let me mention some of the halloween stuff I like..

I hate (but still watch) I Know What You Did Last Summer. This is a “hot” movie, if the guys know what I mean. ;) While watching, you would say, “Wag ka na kasi pumunta dyan!” or “Nasa likod mo yan, aaaa!”

My favorite movie scene would be the famous conversation between the killer and Casey played by Drew Barrymore. The movie is Scream. It was funny. :D

The horror movie that I screamed to is “Shutter” original version. I mean, I was just only watching it on television and whoa, I was screaming.. hehe. I even watched the American version of this first, I was screaming too.. haha!

My favorite psychopath character would be of course, Hannibal Lecter. Yeah he’s a doctor, but every time I watch Silence of the Lambs, I feel creepy over this guy. He could sense you and smell you. Adding the fact that he has an exceptional way of killing people. Just creepy.

My favorite horror movie sequels would be Shake, Rattle and Roll. Hey, this movie seems like forever.. And I think many movie goers are still fond of this movie since you get three different stories just by one watching. I can still remember the Undin episode, that cute weird creature!And many celebrities today have appeared already in the film. From Ruffa Gutierrez, Kris Aquino, Janice De Belen, Richard Gomez to now young stars Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Lovie Poe, Erich Gonzales and Jennica Garcia.

But I really like the recent episode “Yaya” with Izza Calzado and Nash Aguas. Izza played a mysterious nanny and Nash as a curious boy who has a baby brother. He finds out that the nanny is an “aswang” and no one would believe the young boy, so he did everything to protect his younger brother.

My favorite horror character would be CHUCKIE! Everytime I watch the movie, I would just laugh. It’s hilarious! But even though it’s  just a product of fiction, I would not choose to have this doll even as a display. Just imagine it in your room and the lights are off.. weeee…

Chuckie doll. A very nice toy!

And of course, horror music video would be Michael Jackson’s Thriller. The ever famous imitated by most during these times. And the dance steps are imitated as well. Zombies dancin’

If I would be coming to a Halloween party, I would like to dress up as a black lady or black witch.. And this will be my look!

Stolen shot.. It turned out to be funny! haha :D

Happy Halloween!
