Halloween 09 costume!

Yep, it's halloween and everyone I know is excited about wearing something for their costume. I didn't grow up in a place that is so crazy about halloween. I didn't even know what it was until I saw something about it on TV when I was 7 or 8 years old. It's something to do with scary/spooky stuff !!!
Anyway, I have celebrated halloween since I moved to the U.S. in 2003. I have had to come up with a costume ever since. I have been an indian lady, cruella de vil, that lady who carries a basket of fruits on her head (I can't remember).
I took pictures of some authentic costume or interesting some of my friends wore yesterday:

Matt -- a mad scientist/doctor guy

Karen -- H1N1 virus ?!?! (notice her slippers)Jeremy -- Charlie Champlin

and my favorite is Daniel -- Moses, and he is even some geisha girl ?!?! Sorry Sam!

And finally Lyndsi -- Dorothy and me -- a munchkin/a lumberjack/a train engineer????Last year, I was a chimpmunk, I see a pattern here ... Next year, what kind of midget will I be?

The day after "halloween" which is November 1 is called the day of the dead where I am from. Today is the day when we remember our loved ones who have passed on. We would visit the cemetery and bring flowers and gifts for this day. I do miss my grandpa and my aunt. I know that I will see them again.
