Weeks before Halloween, my facebook, multiply and phone were bombarded with invitations for Halloween… And out of all the invites, I’m so glad I went to this one.
Rewind to last week — Ida’s text: “You’re invited to our wicked HalloWIN party! Come dressed as your Hero as we battle it out on board games! Bring your favorite food! 8pm, My place!” Last night, Miko and I arrived at Ida’s place at 11pm. We brought Purple Pesto Pasta. Ah! My favorite!
When we arrived, Ida, Marc and Tomas were already emerged in a card game. In costumes were Ida as a wizard, Marc as a Magician’s Rabbit (left pic), and Tomas as a …. hmm… the “Greenpeace” Guy (hehehe). Shortly after, Ronald and girlfriend, Jana arrived in costumes as well. They were so cute (see pics below)! Ronald was dressed as Iron Man with the amazing flashy heart and Jana was a Chinese Hero. As for my costume, nothing. Just came as my normal self.
So anyway, we plunged into our food, refreshments, and made chika-chika, then straight to Cranium. Cranium is a board game, a combination of a lot of games like Pictionary, Charades, Word boggle, Spelling, Multiple choices, etc. Sounds complicated? Hmmm… not when you get the hang of it. At first we were reading every word from the cards and the rule book, but later on we were on the roll. It was so much fun that most of the time I was on my toes anticipating our team’s turn.
Although only 8 people came to play and party with us, IIIIIIIIIIT WAAAAAS SOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUUCH FUUUUUN! I especially loved the fact that I didn’t have to oblige myself to engage in small talks with strangers or people you think you know and vice versa. I really wasn’t in the mood for that. The art industry in the Philippines is so small that it’s pretty crazy how we all know each other already. Anyway, in between food, refreshments and Cranium, we were chilling, having great conversations and just laughing at each other’s jokes and quirks. Towards the end of the game, I was so exhausted from laughing that I had to quit cause I was falling asleep. HAHAHA! Everyone lost track of time and we ended up partying ’til 4:30AM.
In the end, we all wished that someone would come up with a Filipino version of Cranium. With questions like: “Kelan naging laos si Nino Mulach?” or “Ano unang hit sa takilya ni Nora Aunor” or or or… “Nasan na ang Anak ni Janis?”. Somebody, please…
I really have to say that this was one memorable Halloween Party. Thanks to Ida and everyone who came for all the crazy memories! ‘Til the next game!
