Parties are fun and who says we can't have fun on a halloween? Well, not for Hive! Coz we've got Hivelloween! 🎃
I have only seen halloween parties and people doing 'trick or treat' on television and social media posts but never in actual sight. But a week ago, I just had my first-ever-halloween-party-in-costume!! 👻 Finally! It was a courageous thing to make (and challenging, lol) but at the same time a dream come true. I have always wanted to experience halloween parties but never really had the courage to dress up or join one. So I'm definitely not forgetting this!
Choosing a character to portray sure is a difficult thing. You have to consider your budget, the time left to prepare, and ofcourse how you might look! Needless to say, I opted for a low budget look that I'm sure I won't have to cash out and spend much time to prepare. And since I had an old student nurse uniform that would perfectly ensemble nurses uniforms back in Nightingale's years, I chose to play as a HAUNTED NURSE. Do you know any haunted hospital stories? Have you heard stories like nurses in old uniforms contrary to the uniform styles used as of today were the ones doing rounds or giving medications and regulating IV fluids to patients late at night? Oops! Didn't mean to scare you. Hahaha!
I know. Let's get back to the party. So as I ws saying, it was a last minute idea I had conformed since I was so busy with work weeks before the scheduled party. I had no time to prepare. Barely minimum at that. So I had to use whatever is available..
On the day of the event, I went to the venue a bit earlier than expected. I came with 
As soon as the Hive sisters' room was available, well, we hitched to change and dress up and we're so lucky to have our make-up done by the sassiest woman in Cebu

When we're all set and ready, we came down and saw all Hivers in their spooky character outfit. I was so amazed when I have seen the queen of death —La Muerte portrayed by 
Everybody was all hyped-up and the party started with an opening remarks by the organizers 
We had games, raffle draws and fun.
Hephep-hoorah! 👏👐

But would you believe it is scary in halloween parties too? Haha! The scariest thing happened when we were asked to walk the runway! Dun-dun-dun Uhh, my chest was pounding really hard! But it's insane when suddenly, I was on stage but I don't feel anything at all but happy. When people are cheering and all smiling —it gives all the feels. It was all great! I can't even believe I had won a place for my first time. Truly a day to remember.

One of the most awaited part was the dinner. I absolutely had an amazing meal at the hotel. Thanks for the lechon
And in all that, the rest is history —a night to remember and one day, to reminisce. Unfortunately, I had to miss the dance party and went home earlier than others because of work the following day.
Here are more photos from the party. Credits to the owners of the photos.

To my Hive family here in Cebu —the Hivelloween organizers
If I had something to say from this event, it is that all things has it's own time and purpose. This was my first halloween event that has somehow helped me come out from my shell while feeling welcomed to a community I have come to engage with for the first time. I have never had this before but that night, it felt as if it is why I have never joined halloween parties before. To feel more and enjoy more in this moment of time. And with this season of souls and saints, may we appreciate life more, and inspire before we expire.
I'd definitely be scrolling over in this post whenever I'll miss this day, that's for sure.
Thank you for reading this far. I hope you enjoyed reading my first halloween party experience (made possible with my Hive family) and made you smile with the photos, as we all welcome the first day of November.
Happy halloween, everyone!
Love and light.
