Halloween switcheroo

Halloween is the only time in the year in which young-uns and kids-at-heart(like me) dress up and let their creativity run wild. Some dress up as witches, some dress up as wookies, and others dress up as cookies. But one thing's for sure is that Halloween is the only time of the year in which people can dress up whatever they wanted to dress up in no matter how crazy it is. But in my case, Halloween is not only imitating someone's style for one day but also realizing if that someone you dressed up as is in your place for one day. I planned on dressing up as Lady Gaga(so i can wear my crazy, Lady Gaga-isque hairband) at first but Mark Malabanan suggested that i should dress up as Bill. I took his advise since i realized if im gonna be Lady Gaga, i should wear swimsuit.(I only wear swimsuit only of im gonna swim in a swimming pool or beach.-lol)

October 30, 10:30 AM. Irish Uy came home from U.N day in school. She took off her favorite black school jogging pants and black "Proud to be a MONTESSORIAN" tshirt to change into her H&M skull tshirt, Mango skinny pants and Tribal skater shoes- part of her costume that she will be wearing tonight. She planned on going as her major crushie/ Potterforums hubby/ probable old internet buddy/ probable guy who thinks im a Hong Konger/ fashion icon/ favorite singer/ favorite German/ favorite androgynous person Bill Kaulitz. As she took off her school clothes, she felt that Irish Uy left her. The moment she put on the clothes that resembles her crush's, she no longer feel like she was herself anymore but she was Bill Kaulitz. Like what Bill does whenever he had a performance later that evening, she decided to do her makeup and hair later an hour before she'll attend the party her best friend Gt will throw.
Some time later, her dad asked their household helper yaya Becca where on earth Irish is. Inside Irish, she wants to tell her dad that Irish is in To Kwa Wan, Kowloon... Probably wearing a white dress with a dark blue tie, dark blue sweater and black shoes like her cousin Lily. Irish Uy right now is probably reciting in Cantonese about mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Maybe when she goes home to her uncle and grandaunt's small apartment near the old Kai Tak airport, she would have a hour for memorizing all her lessons for the day, log in to the forums where she and Audrina first met(Potterforums.com) and then play her electric guitar inside Lily's room while Lily is busy watching TVB or updating her Facebook. In short, the real Irish is probably in somewhere Bill probably thought her to be in.
After helping out in their family business(not really helping out since im too young to memorize codes of autoparts. I would rather learn income taxes formulas, trigonometry, sound waves and sentence diagramming- which i all suck at-now since studying is a bigger priority than helping out in the business. It's only once in a lifetime that someone gets proper education). Bill Kaulitzified Irish Uy went upstairs to wash her face clean and open up her potterforums, stardoll and facebook to relax her off. It's only some two hours before she'll have to leave for school again and that time she decided to do the last parts that will make her completely Bill Kaulitz- putting on her silver blings, make up and tease her hair to make it look like Bill's infamous lion mane hair. After some time of surfing the net, Irish began to complete her transformation by ironing her hair straight. Then she went to put on some black eyeliner, dark eyeshadow, blusher and lipgloss(with the help of one youtube vid tutorial). Then here comes the hair part. With the help of another youtube video, i finally figured out how to make my hair defy gravity more than my previous attempts to imitate Bill's hair last summer- so far back then, i only mastered Bill's "Spring Nicht" and Comet 2007 awards hair.
After doing myself, i went to the Halloween party where i met my friends who had strange remarks. Some said i look cute and others say i look too freaky. Just like Bill, i just smiled and thanked them for their remarks. Leniel even said " Si Irish, mukhang rockistang nabuhay... sa patay." and Dean said(when he was introducing the teams for a certain game that i forgot) "Eto ang group ni Bill Kaulitz- na galing Germany."
It was fun anyway, even if it's only for a day. It made me realize how would Bill be if he was on my shoes.
