Hallowe'en this oct 31st

Halloween, or Hallowe'en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31.

Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, Halloween festivals, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and viewing horror films.

Halloween originated from the Pagan festival Samhain, celebrated among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain.

Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century.

Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is now celebrated in several parts of the western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom.

The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day",[1] also which is now known as All Saints' Day.

It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions,[2] until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 to November 1.

In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day.

Liturgically, the Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints, and, until 1970, a day of fasting as well.

Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st. The Vigil was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the post-Vatican II calendar.

Many European cultural traditions, in particular Celtic cultures, hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world, and when magic is most potent (according to, for example, Catalan mythology about witches and Irish tales of the Sídhe).

PS: as for me this year i'll be home to take part in "trick" or "treating" for the kids around our blocks !! heheheh cool cool !!!!

Be my Bra

aladdin lamp we all have ^__~

We are all born with an Aladdin's Lamp but most have forgotten how to rub it.

Each one of us can manifest all that we need and more, if only we would believe in ourselves!

The bumble bee flies although aerodynamically it is not supposed to fly.

The wings are too small and the body is too heavy. But the bumble bee doesn't know this, and what it doesn't know doesn't inhibit it.

It flies because it believes it can fly. Each one of us is invincible and capable of the most magnificent things, if only we would believe in ourselves.

"Ask and ye shall receive" is as true now as it has always been. We just need to ask and give Spirit some earth time to arrange for what we need as well as for the right astrological doorways to become available!

e day of e dead

On November 1 and 2, Mexicans celebrate the Day of the Dead to remember their ancestors—and to offer the dead a chance to visit those they've left behind. Cemeteries, shops, and homes blossom with an array of brightly painted puppets, decorated skulls, candles, flowers, and themed candy. Watch dances and parades and partake in traditional food and drink.

ayako smiles in turtle island

we took a package to do water sports in Nusa and one of the highlights is to bring us to "turtle island"

we thought its really an island full of turtles but its only a small place where locals captured animals and allow tourists to come aboard to take photos of them and theres a small drink area and a small gift corners where one can purchase turtle shells accessories ....

its kinda sad to see captive turtles and different types of animals here but it also brought a smile to my face where i come face to face with the turtles that i 've always loved and managed to snap a few photos with them all ...

its also my first time touching / holding a flying fox and a big snake on my shoulders !!

The weather was scorching hot at Nusa beach and i guess thats when i fell sick too as i went into the sea water without drying myself properly and went straight into the air-con car back to hotel ... journey took us 30mins to travel from Sanur ..

But all in all .... it was fun ! But theres a bad experience too along the 3th day ... and my face grew very dark ... i even ignored most of the people .... i think thts the first time cindy & ian saw me being so angry too hahahha i didnt even want to talk to anyone at all .... i hoped that incident didnt damper anyone's moods .... so sorry if it did ..... but thts me alright ..... hahahaha

A real friend comes early to help you cook and clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about their problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.

A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after u've had a
fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!

A simple friend will read and throw this letter away.
A real friend will send it away to his other friends.

Are you a simple or real friend ?

Be it a listening ear,a complaint or a cup of tea,

Thanks for being there when I need help.
