It was no easy feat for me to write 18 posts this month as it has been a hectic one. I was away celebrating Raya and then was plagued by some PC problems, followed by an internet breakdown, which really cut into my blogging time. My hopes to accomplish what I started were momentarily dashed but thanks to all my friends who continued egging me on to pursue my mission till the end, I am happy to say that this is my 100th post! YAY! :)
To celebrate my joy with all of you, I’ve decided to give you another Halloween treat! Are you guys ready for the Mariuca Halloween Mug contest? YES, I’m having another giveaway and this time, I’m adding a twist to the contest to make it more fun, see rules below! Happy Halloween!
Rules
2. Contest starts on Oct 31, 2007 – Nov 13, 2007.
3. Winner will be announced here on November 21, 2007.

About the Mug
This Mariuca mug was specially ordered by me from the very creative Emila. It was hand painted using Pébéo Porcelaine 150 paint, and then laid to dry for 24 hours before baking in the domestic oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 35 minutes. Remarkably resistant to dishwashing and normal detergents, the paint does not wear off after washing.

Yay fianlly First Commenter on your 100th post too...and now probably second too! LOL As usual I didn't read the rules until later...I've got to write a spooky encounter...does it have to be true or can I just make up one! :)
Hey Marzie,
Congrats on your 100th post :)
I have a little way to go on my Free PC Security blog only having done 83 posts, but my Life blog I am now on 140 posts, but didn't celebrate the 100th as it was covering missing Maddie, so it didn't seem appropriate.
Now, my spookiest story has to be meeting Blog Elf in the middle of the night screaming like a banshee on a borrowed broomstick because he's just scaryyyyyyyyyyyy LOL
Happy Halloween and have a great time/
Love & Hugs to you
Colin
Thanks LJ, I'm so happy that I finally reached my 100th post woo hoo!!! :):):)

Hola Raghav! Thank you for being such a great supporter, I'm happy to share my 100th post moment with you!
Thanks for sharing ur scary encounter! I know I'm not supposed to be laughing, esp since u sprained your foot and had to go to the clinic, but I'm just imagining your scared face at that time! Your poor friend, his prank went awry! But I bet it's a little bit funny now? LOL! Great entry, you are now in the running to win this mug, all the best and Happy Halloween! :):):)
Marzie,
when i remember tht incidence, i now laugh for a min... but at mid of the night, at a new place, if u see a mask, with a cigrette in the mouth & smoking coming out, wht the hell will u think.
i had been to my friend's hostel & as it was too very late to return back, i slept in one of the cots the was vacant & they stupid guys just wanted to play some prank which turned disastrous.... it took around 5-6 days for me to walk properly. till then i just to limp & when ever i used to see my friend, used to scold him again & again....
but wht i got at last was a most trustable friend for ever....
now a days even though we don't meet regualarly,
when ever we meet, he makes fun of me by sighting tht incidence.
this happened before 5yrs...
2002.
itz all fun...
i would love to be with u.... in every walks of life & to help u with any thing & every thing tht is possible by me.
it is all the devotion tht u show in writing tht have won u such a huge fan club....
i'm u'r fan & u r my star falling from the sky!
r u not sleeping at this time of the night?
Congrats on your 100th post! I would sure love to win the mug but I don't have scary story!!

GK, otw to ur blog...hang on!! :)
woot woot! congrats mariuca on your 100th post. what a great achievement!
now, that mug is a BEAUTY. if only I'll win this one i'd be really happy. the spookiest story I have had is that one halloween night I was for sure, the decor in front of a house was a fake batman. I touched the hand and I was stunned when he moved and lashed out a sound. I ran away and started to cry. what an experience that was! I was too scared, the following day I had a fever. That was the last year I ever went trick or treating on a halloween night.
~juliana
Marzie, congratulations on reaching your 100th post. You must be ecstatic. Here's looking to another hundred :D
Oh, and Bobby, Adrian and me will chip in and get you a mug to spare you the anguish of not winning the mug for her 1000th posting ... LOL!
ps. anyone else wanna chip in? LOL!
I guess I have no chance for this nice mug. I never take note of halloween and I freak out to merely thing about spooky stuff.
**grumbles** there goes my nice mug dream designed by Emila again!
Congratulations. Wow kecapaiannizationness juga 100th Post, yes? Tahniah dek. Okay, nak dapat mug susah ni. Dari mula tak dapat-dapat, asyik-asyik Apriqa jer dapat. Cammaner neh, nak tulis, sebab tak caya hantu. Okay, ini tipu punya, khayalan semata-mata dan semulut mulut nya. Okay. Here goes: *Our first Team Building Training was at D' Talang, Tanjung Ipoh, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. 1945. The Resort, surrounded by water and jungle. It's Halloween! Woo scary. The Resort Owner in his opening speech mentioned that, the most important point to remember is to NOT sleep naked. I was a virgin then. I have been sleeping naked all my virgin life. How can I change this while sleeping here? Jeng! Jeng! Jeng! After the opening, some instructions, and supper, then the Principal Consultants, Trainers, Facilitators, Participants, and me, were given group keys to each of the Chalets. Women were staying at the bright rows nearing the ponds, and Men were all staying at the dark rows nearing the deep end jungle. As I move with my Chalet mates, toward our Chalet, a beautiful girl, a participant, came to me and asked, "Can I sleep naked?". I told her, "Please do, because I too cannot sleep otherwise, and I am wise". She nodded, and that is the last time I saw her. That night, I slept. Yes! You know. As I was about to doze off, I feel a Pumpkin so large, being placed on top of my body. I am suffering. The Pumpkin is so huge, 100 times bigger than Phoebe. It is growing heavier every second, because one by one, Naked Lady Ghosts keep on piling up upon another, resting solidly on the Pumpkin. I am beginning to feel the pang of breathlessness. I ask for help. None. I shouted. No one came to aid. I begin to scream, as more Naked Lady Ghosts piling up. I am gasping, and to the last and final bit of strength left, I scream so loudly that I cannot hear my own voice. I am gone! I do not know how long I slept. In the year 2006, Halloween again, woo scary. I woke up and found myself in my own home. My family members were excited, because I have been sleeping ever since. Well, tonight is Halloween again. Do I sleep naked again, or...

Janice Ng
Anything for the beautiful mug.
I will try this weekend. Be lenient with me ok. I really freaky about spooky stuff. Last night I "accidentally" watched a horror movie, when I slept, I made my hubby promised that he would hold my hand or hug me through the night when we slept. Haha..
Silly me right?
hello marzie, i haven't given up my hope yet, to win mariuca mug, tough luck, i missed one before, lol
well, i never see ghosts in my entire life, and if i do, i hope it would be a nice one..
well if im going to share one, it would be a posessed person by demons,
to be continued~
Hi Marzie .. Poem 4 u.
I met Genie Princess 10 years ago
Wishing endlessly for free Hugs
If only I had my “chance at Hello”
I would endlessly receive free Mugs
Can't be spooky coz I'm such a 'sweetie' .. ahaks !! :))
-Naz-
Hi Karen, not silly at all... cause I'm a scaredy-cat too LOL! But I will of course read all the spooky entries received for this contest, looking forward to what u have in store for me and good luck! :):):)
Melody, ur so cute!! Hoping to meet a ncie ghost it seems, ha ha ha!! A person possessed? Wow, that oughta be interesting, when can we hear the rest of the story? ;)
Thanks for the poem Naz, nice try too but make it more scary can or not? He he he... :)
Hey Jan! We are all waiting for Nick, hope he enters with something good! I'll prob have to read his entry with B around to hold my hand! :)
Lovely!I'll come back latter!
Hola Belinha, thanks for dropping by. Looking forward to ur entry! :):):)
oh dear, i wish i can push my luck in here, hehehe, but i think its maybe a bit too personal about that hated person, apparently, he is not posessed person literally, i think he is more scary than the ghost because he got a destructive mentality.., whhooooaahhhhhhh..
Hi Mel! Oh I see what u mean ha ha ha...okay okay, we'll save that story for another day if u ever need to vent about this guy! ;)
GP.. my post is up... enjoy!!!
http://ladyjava.javaura.com/2007/11/haunted.html

Prepare to be scared at Speedcat's house of horrors... (well a little scary maybe)
Congrats to you! This certainly is one impressive blog, and I'm sure the best is yet to come. Happy 100
Hola Eric! Thanks for ur well wishes. You've made my 100th post even more special with ur nice comment here! :):):)
Hi! Just wanted to stop by and say congrats on your 100th post.
Hope everything is well in your world.
Hi Andrea, long time no see! Thanks for coming by, I'm doing great and hope u are too, take care! :):):)
Hi Mariuca,
Congratulations on reaching your goal, have you set another goal for the following year yet?
I should set a goal of 100 posts per year, and get a life! You could say I am your exact opposite with almost 2,500 posts on my blog, not counting my five contributors either..Oouch!!!
Take care and stay positive,
Edward in Los Angeles
Welcome Ed and hello LA!!
I have yet to set another goal for next year, I like to go with the flow and see how it goes before setting another goal for me LOL! :)
WOW!!! 2,500 posts sounds unbelievable, how do u do it Ed? I must check out your blog and see what it is you have so much to write about!
Thanks for coming by, hope to see more of you. :):):)
Marzie!!!
Im here to visit you!!
Horror encounter ah...I don have any real one but I think thats the ghost during my primary schooling time.
After school, my brother and I wait for the aunt who drove alot of children back to their home. While waiting, we went to the nearby apartment with few friends and is located beside the forest. Quite silent.
When we walked to the front gate of apartment, one of us notice theres a skull (skeleton head) on the grass field beside the forest. Everyone looked at there for a second only and ran like HELL to the aunt car including myself.
Honestly, I did not see it properly. I just followed what people said and take a look and run for it. I never go that apartment again after that incident. So penakut ah me!
Kinda funny for others cos what for you run if you did not see it closely? Apalah...hehehe!
Hola Jamy! Nice to see u here, you've been so busy at school huh?
Anyway, thanks for sharing your encounter here. It msut've been scary then for u to remmeber the incident until today, I would have run away too LOL!
Good luck to u dear, you're now in the running to bring home this mug! :):):)
Hi Marzie, our dear sweet Genie Pincess, as usual I am running very,very late. For this I beg your forgiveness. These past few weeks have been very difficult. But, that still is no excuse. But, my mother always said Late is better than never....so I hope with all of my heart that you will accept my very deepest congratulations on your 100th post!! And wow so many friends have dropped by.
I don't have any real bad experiences to share. I am afraid I was usually the instigator rather than the receiver of Halloween pranks as a youngster. I was a little stinker sometimes. I feel so bad now that I look back at some of our crazy stunts...never anything serious....just kid stuff. But, still we were guilty of scary some others. For that I feel bad now. But, I have to admit that I remember that it was fun then. See there's still a little bit of a stinker in me..LOL!! AnyHooo....you have been on my mind and I wish to be around to see your 200th post!!
Hugs,
Jackie
Hi Jackie, missed you! Am glad u came by to wish me, that's so nice of you. Sounds like u were a naughty lil kid back then, but who wasn't huh? I hope u had a nice Halloween this year and thanks for sharing! :):):)
Marzie, I just posted my spooky story, well not really spooky la. Not that I'm going to win that mug with all those other great scary stories out there but you can always disqualify them all and let me win ... LOL! Besides I waited until 12.00am sharp to post it. Gave me the shivers ... hehehe ... that should count for a lot right? LOL!
Oh and don't read it at night. Better to wait till morning ... hehehe
Oooh I bet it's going to be scary and I'm going to read it now! It's okay, hubbs is just outside watching football should I get spooked! ;)
Hi Marzie!!!!!
Around six years ago, my grandmother moved in with me, up until she needed constant attention, and she was placed in a nursing home. She got all freaked out that it was Halloween and believed something bad would happen one night.
It wasn't Halloween, it was around March3rd and she believed it with conviction. She was lost mentally and getting worse but physically in good shape. Later on I was just getting to bed when the scariest moment of my life left me drenched in sweat and nausea.
My very confused grandmother opened my door in a red nightgown and she had bizarre look in her eye. Her hair was fixed up plus she was wearing heavy make up and lip stick. She said."Benny, you my date? Come here sugar..." and began walking towards me.
"GRANDMA!" I screamed to snap her out of it. I explained that I was Bobby, not Benny. Though she was incoherent, the nightmarish memories shall always haunt me.
Hi Bobby, you sure have lotsa funny stories abt ur grandma! I remember the flavoured lotion or something you supposedly got her for Christmas and now this! ;) Thanks for participating! :):):)
GP!! How many post is it now?? I lost track of mine...lolzz!!
I'm looking at your NeoEarth now.. Woweee.. all the lights are over the place...awesome!!
You even got visitors from Guam!!!
Great story Bobby! My grandma had Alzheimer and she prayed 20 times a day instead of only 5 required prayers. She bathed more than 10 times a day and smoked cigarettes 2 packs a day!
yelah lj!!! macam lighthouse kan?
hehe.. tulah Emila.. very attractive.... kalau i ada.. mesti tak as bright as GP nyer...
I can't remember what I wrote for my 100th post.
I don't remember my 200th post either. I am such an old soul!
phatelara aka debbie....

Get me while you still, can! :)
Catch me if you can.. ;) Eh that's Leonardo DiCaprio's movie with Tom Hanks.
