Here’s my Halloween Story!
When I was younger, Halloween was always an adventure in search of candy. That night, I dressed up as a ghost and went out with my friends, going door to door and asking “Trick or treat?” We filled our bags with all kinds of sweets.
In one part of town, we found a small stall where an older man with an unusual look waited. We called out, “Trick or treat!” and to our surprise, he answered, “Trick!” before handing me a red apple.
Thinking he meant “Treat,” I took the apple with a nervous laugh. But when I got home and emptied my bag, I found a surprise: the apple was bad on one side and had spoiled some of my favorite candies. The apple, which looked so bright, had ruined half my treats.
Moral of the story: never underestimate Halloween—or the wisdom of older folks. They know the best tricks...

Hello everyone! I'm going to talk a bit about my new favourite Halloween candy... or perhaps my favourite candy all year round, hehe. Although it may not be a "candy" in the traditional sense, I'm talking about bubble tea! For those who are not familiar with it, it's made of tea (of course), milk and... bubbles! But these are not actual bubbles, they're tapioca pearls! They're sweet, chewey and delicious (they kind of remind me of jelly candies, which are another favourite of mine!)
Now, you might be wondering what bubble tea has to do with Halloween. Since we don't really go door-to-door getting bubble teas from trick-or-treating (unfortunately >.< it would be too good!) Well, last year I went to a Halloween party at my favourite Bubble Tea café, and tried their special Halloween drink! I've included a photo at the end of my post. Last year's special was a cinnamon, pumpkin and coffee blend with, of course, my favourite part - the tapioca pearls!
Not only was it a very yummy drink, I also had a fun time with my friends and even met some new ones! I’m going back this weekend for this year’s party, and I’m super excited to try their new apple crumble drink!

I'm not sure if those will qualify as favorite candies since they're not actually candies, so I'll give you the story behind them since we can also share those here. Living in country from Eastern Europe means we don't really celebrate Halloween, especially older people.
So last year my cousins called my mom and asked her if she couldn't take the whole family to visit them for dinner (she used to work as a chef and had a very impressive kitchen at home), and also because she has some serious pain in her hand and would like my mother (who's a nurse) to check her out. Now this was weird enough because she didn't give many details, but we hopped in the car and drove off to them (we didn't even really realize it's Halloween during the ride there because my mother was more concerned about my cousin's pain).
Once we arrived, my other cousin opened to greet us and as soon as mom stepped in my cousin came up with her hand wrapped in a bandage saying that she cut it off almost entirely with a butcher's knife, and pointed towards the kitchen. Luckily my mother didn't have time to panic because my cousin was just joking and what she actually wanted to show us, was this:
She actually prepared some Halloween-themed food and decorations! And there was a severed hand in the kitchen, as well as the cutest and best pumpkin pie I've ever got to taste! It was a very wholesome moment despite initially making my mother concerned about the hand on the way there, haha.
Thanks for the chance and the event! Sometimes the Halloween horror is not about being scared, but very concerned regarding how bad a cut hand could feel and look like.
