Feliz Halloween ~ David Archuleta
Posted by djafan on Saturday, October 26, 2013
A big shout out of thanks to my friend Micki Hansen for the above glorious photo shop work! Can you imagine him in a Western on the big screen?
Oh yeah. I think he has the voice for it. The speaking voice, I mean. Kind of soft-like and velvety but with a bit of a husky tone. Uh…where was I? Huh? 
Oh yeah. Happy Halloween Week y’all!
So what do you love about Halloween? Any plans? I plan to make a gazillion of these cupcakes to take to work and to everyone I know. Click on photo to get the recipe. Tell me they aren’t adorable! No, they’re not David cupcakes, but it’s Halloween, and as Otis once said to Barney, “Sometimes I like to see a bat!” haha. If you’re a fan of the series, you know what I’m talking about. I have everything I need to get this pahtay stahted!!!! Because we have a lot to celebrate! Halloween will come at the end of this week, the 31st of October. When it does, Abrra will draw her wand at midnight Thursday and blast to smithereens another month! Yippee yi ki yay!!!
Speaking of Abrra, I reckon by the looks of it, she’s been busy with Halloween projects too. She just sent me this photo of jack-o-lanterns she carved with her family tonight. Awesome job! I’ll let you know how my cupcakes turn out and post a pic of how mine compare to the photo. Let us know how you plan to spend your Halloween and send any pics you want posted. And since it’s time for all things scary, I just have to share with y’all this short film I found several months ago and was so blown away by. Directed by Rodrigo Gudiño and Vincent Marcone, it presents a murder mystery in an excessively short time frame, only 6 minutes, but the over-all pure spookiness of it is huge. They are real actors, but they barely move, yet in a brevity of time and motion, so much is conveyed. Here is what Vincent wrote beneath its YouTube posting. “An image that tells an entire story, THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF MISTER HOLLOW centers on a single photograph that dates back to the early 1930s. As the camera begins to investigate the particulars of the photo, however, it reveals a tapestry of secrets hidden in the details, and a tale of murder, kidnapping and sacrifice captured in a haunting moment.” Check out all the awards it has won on this Wiki link here. And, more impressive to me even, since I am addicted to IMDb, is its rating of 7.0! That’s huge for any movie, of whatever size. Click on it and go big! Can you solve the mystery?
And another video, not so incredible and not even new, but it’s Halloween so it must be Thriller time! Mwahahahahaha!!!
The Voice David Archuleta

Angelica,
I was going to say “lovely post” when I saw that edit of David as a cowboy. 🙂 Great job by your friend on the edit! (Wait, wasn’t there a photo floating around at one time of him on a horse?) and the delicious looking cupcakes. Yum! But I think I’ll amend that to say very “Interesting post” after watching that film.
That film!! I watched it a couple of times and it’s just downright creepy! 😯 I can see why it won awards, though. It’s definitely different. As I watched, I could see so many things that weren’t apparent in the photo when originally shown. On second watching, I caught many slight changes in the details. I could see a lot going on there and I can see a definite story unfold. Creeeeepyyyyy!
As for Halloween, I was invited to a party where everyone is costuming. I’m not too sure I’ll go. I might just sit home and watch the kiddies with their costumes coming for candy. They are always so adorable. 🙂
I might put a certain little Howling video on replay, too. Isn’t it amazing how there is a video of him singing for every occasion? 🙂

Betsy, thanks for pointing me to the Shaytards channel on YT. I watched the missionary homecoming video. Will watch the baby being born another night. Just want to share with you guys a pic of my finished cupcakes. First try didn’t turn out too bad. I am bringing them to work tomorrow and to church Wednesday night for the Halloween party. They were easy to do. Just be sure you cut the cookies in half slowly with a sharp knife and a sawing motion.
MT, love that howl.
Sky, you had to bring up the violent pumpkin. And since it’s Halloween , I have to post the video. This has to be one of my all time favorite David vlogs rivaled only by the incomparable “little sister one and little sister two” vlog. I guess I just love seeing him interacting with his sisters. 🙂

So.. I forgot to say that your Cowboy theme inspired me. Skydancer – I too, loved that movie soooo much. And DA has at least that much charm. “a mans gotta do, what a mans gotta do”.
Loved the short movie, Angelica. I want to know if the guy by the priest shoots the gun and saves the girl and baby. But a hollow man probs can’t be shot.
Happy Halloween, troops!

Bluesky,
Yep, I figgered it was the reason you posted the Western clip. Shane was my mother’s favorite movie.
Mr. Hollow is just his name. He is already dead in the car. It does leave you wondering how it ends. Does the young priest shoot or does the old priest stop him and one of them goes for the police? Either way, I’m sure they don’t allow harm to come to the woman or the baby. How could they?

Love David as a cowboy! haha Oh, that stubble is quite nice! ♥ Thanks Angelica and Micki. I done the puzzle when it was on FB. Another fun one.
The Mister Hollow video was a real spooky one, but I loved Thriller Time with David. Super!
Your cupcakes turned out really good. mmmmmm I made 4 dozen caramel popcorn balls for the party at church Tuesday night. It’s kind of become a tradition, since I’ve done it for about 10 yrs now.
Ah, Shane, they don’t make em like that anymore!
Abrra, no matter who carved them, they look really good! I never could carve a pumpkin very good!
David’s video is one of my favorites too! When he said “well, I’m home now” that sounded so dang could! That made my evening! or night! haha
Will have to watch the “baby” video tomorrow since it’s 1am and I need to hit the sack to go to work! 🙂

David as a cowboy! Who woulda thunk? Kudos to Micki Hansen on the excellent edit. I collect Halloween candy the week before Halloween and give them to the kids when they ring the bell. I remember how much fun I had on Halloween and want to keep up the tradition today.
Do you dress up your pet for Halloween? We once had a tuxedo costume for one of our cats but all he would wear was the bowtie. haha
Found these online:
Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!

#5….Finally got to watch the baby’s birth video. Hard to believe it’s been a week already that I watched my ggdaughter born. Child birth always brings tears to my eyes. Kind of like a wedding. That guy sure was a talker, totally opposite of my grand sil. 🙂 Wasn’t any kids at ours either, but I thought the siblings bonding with their new brother was very endearing.

Jan, so glad you watched the video. I wish everyone would, it isn’t your every day average thing. It made me cry, so beautiful. I figured you’d like it,
since you’d just went through the experience. 🙂
A little backstory on the family in the video. Someone had tweeted a video of returning missionaries. It was this guy who happened
to be in the airport at the same time. But it was just a small part of a large video. This family makes videos of their everyday lives constantly.
I think they were originally from Idaho, then Utah, now LA. The kids are precious. Love that they let the young girls into the birthing room to see their
new brother being born. It’s like the father said. “There’s nothing like loving something more than yourself. ” ♥

Betsy, I like that it shows that childbirth can be a pleasant experience and not like some horror story of the old days. I know that sometimes things are worse, but most generally with all the good medical technology childbirth is so much more pleasant. Another granddaughter that gave birth last year practically laughed through it all. It was very similar to the video.

The videos in comment #15 and the gifs in comment #24 were from the concert I went to in Atlantic City on November 1, 2008, almost five years ago to today. Memories! had a VIP upgrade and although my seats were in row 4, they were were all the way over to the left, and it was so hard to see David onstage. Anyway, a funny thing happened that makes me laugh every time I think about it. It was a David/Demi show and there were all ages in the audience, kids with parents, teenagers, adults without kids, etc. During David’s set I couldn’t help but sing the songs with him. I wasn’t loud and was sure nobody heard me. There were two little girls with their mother in the row in front of me. During the show, they kept whispering to their Mother and then turning around to look at me. I repeat, I wasn’t loud. How could I have been distracting them with the noise level in the arena? Then, their mother looked at me and wanted to say something. Uh oh, I thought. Is she really going to complain? She got closer and very politely whispered in my ear…
“My daughters said that you’re David’s mother. Are you?” hahaha (I look nothing like Lupe!) I couldn’t help but laugh. I said “No, I’m not David’s mother but I would love to have a son like him.” Memories!

In case you wondered why there was no official NA chat last night, we had a discussion with some of the regular NA chatters last Tuesday and the outcome is that I’ve decided to have the Nandito Ako chat twice a month, with some impromptu chats thrown in. I’m glad some of you went to chat anyway and kept up the Tuesday Night Popcorn tradition! See you next Tuesday!

Well, I shut the door, turned off the front porch light and the laughing pumpkin and called it a night! 🙂 Had tons of little goblins, spidermen and princesses. All so cute. My last visitors were my almost 1 yr old ggrandson that was a turtle and his cousin that just turned 1 week Wednesday. She had on her little pumpkin onesie and socks and sleeping through it all! 🙂 It’s good to know that David will be back next yr!
Never in my life I would think that I would refer to David as “the big ape” haha 🙂 Love the side pic, Abrra!
Bebe, good story! David has left us all with some very good memories. I was thinking of that today, that it’s been almost 2 yrs that I went to the MKOC concert in Utah and heard the big announcement. Not that that was a “very good memory”, but in the long run it was, just being there to see him sing live for the last time in 2 yrs! And here it is almost time for him to come back! Yea!!!!!
That little “stick” baby sure was cute. Never seen anything like it before. They are always coming out with something new.
Now to get ready for Thanksgiving….then Christmas and New Years….then Valentine’s Day and St Pat’s…….THEN DAVID WILL BE HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

#27 dja, I wouldn’t want to run into him in a dark alley…or would I?? Lol
I think that Mr. Hallow video affected my brain. In a good way, though. Last night I dreamed it was my birthday and my co-workers decorated this cubbie-like thing for me. There was confetti, lace and many David Archuleta birthday cards in it because they knew how much I love David. I picked up one of the cards. The texture and illustration in it caught my eye because it was really pretty. The front showed a very handsome David walking up the sidewalk looking up at a pretty house with ivy and flowers around it. Then I noticed David was actually moving towards the door! “Hey, it’s changing!” I said. I opened the card and as if I had answered the door, there he was. His beautiful face began to talk to me. Somewhere among what he was saying in his velvety husky voice, I heard “happy birthday”. I woke up and I could still hear his sweet talking voice. My birthday is not till July but hey, I’ll take this kind of strange wonderful greeting from David any time! ;). It gave me such a warm feeling throughout the day. Thought I’d share that with you all. ❤
