I've always looked forward to Nickelodeon Halloween events ever since I attended the Nickelodeon Shocktober event a few years back. As an avid Nickster, I make sure to attend any Nickelodeon event except maybe the ones made with preschool kids in mind such as events for Nick Jr. Why do I love going to Nickelodeon events? It's simple--I enjoy them so much because going to one gives me the chance to get to know fellow Nicksters and if I'd get lucky, I could even bring home an amazing prize.
So last October 31, I tagged along with my aunt Ching and headed towards SMX Convention Center where the Nickelodeon's Takotown (their Halloween special event this year) was held. Together with my sister Icy, we were both excited to be in our costumes. I wore my 'pumpkin boy' costume while Icy had a 'pixie forest shrub' costume. Since my sister and I were seldom together (we live apart from each other), this Nickelodeon Takotown event had given us a chance to be together even just for a day. More than the fun at the Nickelodeon events, bonding with my dear sister is also something that I anticipate.
It was my sister Icy's first time to join the on-stage games at the Nickelodeon Takotown. She joined the first game called Dora The Explorer's Mystic Brew sponsored by Lotte Koala's March. I'm so glad her group had won! She received Koala's March boxes as prizes. Icy looked so happy on stage when they were awarded their prizes. Nickelodeon's Robi and Lesley hosted the program in their halloween attire.
I also joined in one of the games called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ooze Rush, but my team wasn't fast enough so we did not win. But that's what I liked most about Nickelodeon events, everyone gets to bring home a prize--as losers have consolation prize as well. Although I totally liked the prize that the winners received, they've got for themselves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure toys each! I liked theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt which I got as consolation prize.
Dora the Explorer, Patrick Star, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Leonardo and Donatello graced the show. And our beloved character Spongebob Squarepants also made his appearance to the audiences' delight.
Illusionist Drag Cigam also wowed the crowd with his expertise on illusions and magic. Candies, sweet treats, toys and goodies were also given away with the game booths that abound the SMX hall.
For the brave ones, there was the horror walking tour where one will experience an interactive halloween experience meant to scare. I went inside by myself but it wasn't that eerie although it will surprise you from time to time. There were also mascots appearances and photo opps from Kinderjoy, McDonalds, Koala's March and Appebon. There were raffle prizes and best in costumes were also awarded.
My Nickelodeon Takotown experience is not a scary one but a joyous one worth remembering from time to time. Nickelodeon makes my childhood years a memorable one. From excellent entertaining TV shows to enjoyable events mounted, I'm sure time will come when I will look past all these and smile knowing fully well that I have spent my years having fun, the Nickster way--with green slime!
