HALLOWEEN 2019
2019 was our first year in our new office. We used to occupy a small office space in Gorordo Avenue which apparently hindered us to gather due to lack of space. But when we moved to our new office here in Osmeña Boulevard, we had ample space to hold company-wide employee events and gatherings.
Hence, last October 30, 2019, we had a Halloween celebration in our Head Office participated by both Sales & Marketing Department and Finance Department.
Prior to the event, HR announced that there will be a costume contest with three categories to choose from, namely: funniest, fanciest and scariest. I really didn't have intentions to join any of the categories. The end of October is always busy for me so I don't have much time to look for outfits and other accessories.
On the day of the event, my Business Information team convinced me to join one of the contest categories. And because I don't have any outfit whatsoever, we just have to make use of whatever accessory we can find from our old marketing stuff. Jaya of 
And of course, I had to take a cute photo of myself after the judging period. Here, it was clear that I was trying to be a witch. Lol! 😂
Here are our other group photos. It's undeniable that others really existed effort in their costumes and make-ups.
Our company prepared a lot of food (sadly, I was too focused on my act that I wasn't able to take photos of them). Here are photos of us enjoying the afternoon snack.
After the deliberation, HR called all employees and announced the winners. I wasn't sure if I'd be happy when my name was called as the winner for the funniest category. I was asked to move forward together with the two other winners.
As you can see I was still on character when I got my certificates. Haha! I exerted no effort in doing this. This is all-natural. 😂
As you may have read from my previous blogs that I'm a sucker for taking lots of pictures. I'm definitely glad to have this attitude since this allows me to share past experiences here in Hive. I even took a photo of my accessories and all the things I have to bring just to look funny or crazy, you decide. 😂
I didn't expect to receive these goodies because as mentioned, I didn't prepare for this! But sometimes, last-minute decisions could bring great results. Such as this one. 👇
HALLOWEEN 2020
When the pandemic hit us last year, we didn't expect any physical celebration. Fortunately, we managed to pull off this celebration even at a day's notice.
And similar to 2019's celebration, I didn't really care about fancy costumes and any preparation at all. All I knew was I'll pull it off with little effort.
Here's a photo of my face covered in foundation, "before" all the blood came out. Haha! 🤣
And in a matter of minutes, my angelic face turned into this.👇 My investment, just an old red lipstick that I no longer use. And voila, I'm good to join the year's contest again. 😂
Unlike me who didn't really exert much effort, my Business Information team was all out in their costumes, make-up and even the stories behind their look. Amazing, right?
Our marketing team, together with our VP for Sales and Marketing looked cool in their makeshift costumes as well.
Here are the other group photos we took during the event:
Our Marketing team, together with Business Information, managed to decorate our small conference room and turned it into a rather colorful stage where we put our food and where most of the pictorials happened.
Too bad I wasn't able to take photos of our food only this scary-looking cupcake that I devoured after taking this picture. 😋
Lo and behold, with only a used lipstick (that I no longer use), I was able to grab 3rd Runner-up for that year's best Halloween Act. It was not just the costume since we have to perform an 'act' in front of everyone.
Hint: I crawled on the floor and scared the shit out of everyone. 👻
Here's the winning look. Hope you won't be that scared! I was a battered wife in this act. And I died hating my lover. Haha! I didn't prepare that as well, the idea came out when we were told we had to perform a short act in front of everyone. 😂
My Scary Experience
Now for my scary experience... We used to laugh that I've basically lived in the office because of the long hours spent working even after office hours. I can remember working as late as past midnight just to finish my tasks.
When we moved here in our new office, the overtimes weren't as bad as before. But of course, there were still instances that I had to render overtimes. On one of those busy nights, when things were finished as scheduled, I'd hear random "typing" sounds faint enough not to cause any hysterical response. But one night, one of the telephones near our Creatives team rang. I had no other option but to take the call (I was the only one left in the office) but no one spoke in the other line. There was only total silence.
It wasn't the last incident but I managed to not think about it and focused on what I had to finish. People in the office would say that there are kids and a security guard roaming around here. Creepy.
This was supposed to be a chill blog but looked like I ended up scaring people who report to their offices and who work late at night. That wasn't my intention. Haha!
That's it for this write-up! See you in the next one. 😊
