Feliz Dia de los Muertos!!

Hey its Starfier, well yesterday Nov 1st, was "el dia de los muertos" or in English Day of the dead. In the day of the dead, families in Latin America remember and honor their dead loved ounces. Families go to cemeteries, have a picnic with their dead relatives, and all the deseed. People cook the person who died their favorite dish and set it up on their grave for them to enjoy. Along with games, costumes, and songs.
This spooky holiday is Latin Americas version of Halloween. Expect it's much cooler.
Unfortunately, Juan didn't realize he had a potentially fatal marigold allergy until it was too late
According to costume on the day of the dead, the deseed come from heavens above and join the living for one day to celebrate and hang out. However some say the spirits that come out on this day are not so friendly and cause mischief.

 
The point of this holiday though is to celebrate the dead and respect them by honoring them. In this unique day people are able to understand death, and have fun.

 
El dia de Los muertos is a fun holiday to chill, play games, and spend quality time with your dead relatives.

Halloween Night!

The night of halloween everyone is excited and can't wait to get out the door, right? Wrong, this halloween I was excited to stay home and give out candy while my family went out trick-or-treating. My friend stayed with me to give out candy but before all this happened let me tell you what went down in the hours before. I was pretty much a make-up artist for about 2 hours. I got my little sister (age 4)  dressed up in her cheer leading outfit and did her hair, I also got to putt her make-up on, suprisingly it looked good. That gave me the idea that I was going to do everyone elses make-up on as well. So, next up was my other sister (age 12) she was some kind of gothic ballerina thing, so i put her make up on. The next thing was the best! My dad came in my room and told me to make him look like a zombie. This made my night, I got to put make-up on my dad! So I put black on his eyes and made his face look really gross. Then he told me and my friend to go outside and make his shirt look like something that would be on a zombie. So we hung it on the fence and sprayed ketchup on it like blood, and then let it dry, after that we ripped it up (it looked very zombie-ish). After that everyone went trick-or-treating, and I stayed home and gave out candy. It was fun, I saw some old friends, little kids dressed up in funny little costumes, and even had the occasional 25 year old dude come ask me for candy, I gave them some because I thought it was cool that they still wanted to act like a kid (but it was a little weird). So pretty much my night went well, and I had a lot of fun.
