Halloween Costume Contest

I've decided to be Misa Amane of Death Note for the Halloween costume contest at work. This way I just have to wear an emo-ish, goth look (something like that).

It's like recycling the costume I did last year - only this time without the fangs. Shinigami eyes - on! :D

Here are a few photos I grabbed at Facebook taken during the day :)

Chim dressed up as Death note's Misa
Well, I did try! I used my sister's dress this time. Buti na lang I already have this notebook noon pa (I'm a fan!). I love L btw, in case you're wondering.

In character - Fail. 
I was really just trying to show the make-up (Emo/Goth/Anime eyes) Frannie did. I should have closed my eyes a bit! :P

The Misa transformation. Thanks for the make-up Frannie!
Daanin sa make-up and accessories!
  • The Death Note-book
  • Last year's finger-less lace gloves (this was a part of my last year's "vampire" costume - maxado kasi mahal yun arm-length lace gloves, and since I'd only be using it once, I bought an arm sleeve instead - di nga lang bumagay sa dress so I re-used this na lang)
  • Forever 21 cross necklace (one look and I'm hooked. I just had to buy!)
  • Hunny's silver cross necklace (it was Nanay's gift to him, pero he gave me. <3)
  • Racq's cross earrings and bead bracelet (Thanks boy! so cute, makes me want cross earrings like these too!)
  • The Bling Project leather bracelet, SM accessories black ring, and my DIY choker haha! 
You'll only need a black lace, black ribbon and a Sew-No-More glue - voila! Choker na! :D

The Marketing Team Photo Stitch
(clockwise from upper left) The marketing department in their respective costumes; Frannie's zombie (oatmeal-cotton combo) face. (I vote for Fran!); Death Note's Misa, Resident Evil's Jill Valentine and The Waiter (haha!); We love our eye make-ups!

Photos with the marketing peeps! :D
(clockwise from upper left) Close-up with Reich; Misa with Inspector Charlie; at North Park with the marketing team. Yup! We went there with full make-up and costume on!

Kulitan
This was not supposed to be posted for all to see. But oh well. Reich already uploaded it on Facebook so I might as well post it here.

Us Three
Love this shot, I just had to post (full body shot this time). Death Note's Misa, Resident Evil's Jill Valentine and The Waiter? (pede din Tuxedo mask na lang para mas okay pakinggan) haha! :D

PopBooth-ing
'twas a spook-tacular Halloween costume contest (hinde talaga party. Boom!). Dami nag-participate especially the night shift OSRP-eeps. Scary santa, french maid, witches, head-less guy, ghost, Pokemon's Ash, MIB, taong grasa (astig!) and a lot of the unknowns a.k.a. di alam kung ano ba sila. Fun! :D

Goodbye, Mr. Steve Jobs

October 5, 2011 marks the death of apple's former CEO. The brilliant mind behind the iPod, iPhone and iPad.


Steve Jobs
1955 - 2011


Indeed this man has touched the lives of many, that a lot of tributes from different countries have flooded the news and the web. Source: Yahoo News

I myself has been deeply moved and would like to pay tribute in my own little way.

A letter to Steve Jobs from yours truly :

Dear Steve Jobs,

I don't know you personally, but in a way you've touched our lives with your contribution in technology. Your brilliant mind has been an inspiration to many, including me.

With utmost respect and admiration sir, thank you.


Sincerely,
Chim
