Tanáw: Halloween at SM Center Las Piñas 2012

Happy Halloween everyone! As usual, my son decided to join the Halloween activity at SM Center Las Piñas. Obvious ba na tambayan namin ang SM Center? October 31 was a blast, terribly exhausting but fun just the same.

We arrived at SM Center around 2:30pm and realized that we were already late for trick or treating around the mall. Not to worry cause I already bought Ethan Halloween goodies a couple of days earlier, so he was not really empty handed even though we failed to go around the mall for treats.

I was not surprised at all with the large turnout of kids in costumes joining the Halloween costume contest as this was a well publicized event that seems to grow every year. There were 3 categories to compete in: cutest, wackiest and the spookiest costume. A lot of participants in this year's event really took effort in assembling the costumes of the kids. Compared to last year though, those that entered the spooky category was a notch less terrifying. And, those that entered the wacky category are impressively wackier this year. There were a lot of entries for the cute category which made me realize that Ethan needs to level up and leave this category if he intends to join again next year. If you read my post a few days back, "My Little Viking," you would know that my son wants to be a Viking for Halloween. Yeah he is cute alright, but his competition is mostly babies still in their diapers who can naturally be cute even without the costume. Then again, I reminded myself that its not about the competition but the experience and the fun that matters. Besides, who knows what the judges' concept of cuteness is diba?! Anyway, my son did not win any prizes. A Lolita maid, a red hot baby devil and Ghost Princess Perona got away with the prizes for the cute category. Oh well, competition was tough!!! All the entries were really great! Di bale, we had fun naman.

Anyway, here's sharing with you pictures we got from the event.
