This pic was taken during our halloween night October 28 which also happened to be our last night as a team. The theme for that night was enchanted halloween so everyone was expected to dress up in their most enchanting costume. 2 weeks before the said date, we had our last meeting as a team, I was on training then for vacation package from 2PM-10PM but I decided to sleep at the office so I can meet my teammates for their 12AM-9AM shift. One of our teammates, Lee, the guy at the front and the one on the left side suggested that we all dress up like gods and goddesses. Everyone thought it was a neat idea. I didn't want to take much effort to dress like a goddess, I suggested being pirates. Reaction: hellow? theme is enchanted kaya! hahaha I guess they all loved the idea. Somebody from the group then suggested that we all find a seamstress. Everyone got so excited so GNET, denise and I went out to bargain shop the cloth and the materials for our costume. Gnet had a friend who could sew the whole costume for only P250. We asked for additional P100 for the materials. We bought the golden leaves that was supposedly for Christmas decoration. Then there it was, at first I laughed my heart out when I first tried on the costume cause I looked like a blue angel, without wings and without halo. I had such a difficult time trying on the gold ribbon all over the gown to make it look greek-like. It took me an ample time to finally figure out what to do with the gold ribbon. The night finally came, I had so much expectation from the whole team. I came in carefully piecing my costume together. I had noticed that not everyone was as excited as we were. There were only a handful of agents on the floor who dared to wear a costume for that night. Except for the sups, some agents wore their regular clothes and just had on some pixie wings or some crazy hat. I was utterly disappointed. I had been expecting that people would be in their best costume and look ethereal because of the theme enchanted. This is my first time to ever participate in halloween. Back then, i would just content myself watching horror movies or documentaries of real life experiences on what we call multo or aswang on Magandang Gabi Bayan. I had imagine that everyone would look enchanting. I guess they were not bitten by the halloween bug. Im glad we wore costume as a team I would have ended feeling uncomfortable if I was the only one among many others who did not wear costume. Since it was our last night, we brought food, some cookies, pizza and drinks. My team made my first halloween memorable and I miss them. A lot! I had such a great time with my team. I love the pic that is posted, this is the first time that we are all present for the pic. So much for my halloween! maybe next I'll be lucky!
