Halloween 2015

This was our (my baby and I) first experience to get candy for Halloween!

Halloween is getting bigger everywhere but it the Philippines, it's not really celebrated, since the country is mainly Catholic in population.

Now Llyr and I are in the US, we can trick or treat! Yes, me too. XD


Llyr as a pumpkin!
This was what he wore in the morning. :)


Kyle and I as Mad Hatter and Alice from the videogame American Mcgee's Alice.

Sadly, because of rain the trunk or treat becamr indoors. Antway, we were still able to get sweets!

My 1st Pumpkin Carving Experience!

I've always been interested in Fall. I think there's so many things to do! A lot of good food to eat since it's harvest season, and there's Halloween!

2 weeks ago, I experienced my first Turkey Shoot -- which is on my Youtube Channel, and then I went to Holiday World last Saturday (my first amusement park experience in the US).

Anyway, this post is about Pumpkin Carving, so here goes!!

I've never imagines that I would be able to have this experience, and I didn't expect it to be technical, to be honest. O_o It's a good thing my father-in-law was guiding me through it, and was helping so that my baby wouldn't go to where I was working because -- I have to use a saw! xD

I picked the pumpkin, with a good face. (They told me to have one in a bit of an angle so it would look good with a face on. xD)

The process:

My father-in-law, Bob, cuts the top off in an angle, so that it won't fall inside.
Also leaves a square cut so it won't move or swivel.

Who knew. xD

This is me gutting my pumpkin!!

It was a bit tiring, coz it was my first time. 

It took me 13 minutes to have a smooth inside.

Pumpkin fully gutted!

Then I chose a design and pinned the pattern down.

Onto the poking!

I used a pencil to poke the stencil!

16 minutes.

Now, onto the actual carving!

I used a small saw, from a carving kit, and I started cutting the design.

My father-in-law gave a lot of advice on how to make it easier to carve.

I did it for about 20 mins!

I'm a beginner.

This is the finished product!

Of course we had to test it, so we lit 2 candles inside of it and~~~

Do you know who this is?

^_^

I'll give you a hint:
He likes Christmas time! xD

Today's the DAY!

OMG. I have been waiting for so long to have a snack like this!
The only thing not ideal is me being at the park, under a tree.
(I can do that .. but I didn't know it'd be so cold for me during Autumn)

Yes, it's my first Autumn! The tree outside my house is FINALLY turning red!

Anyway, this blog is about ---

Finally, I can have my matcha latte and taiyaki <3

I know, it seems so childish, but I have not eaten Taiyaki until today! So I'm super excited! I love it! Every bit of it! And I also made the matcha latte by myself! :)

See you again for the next blog!
I promise I will write more!
