Celebrating Halloween in Offices – Smart

By | halloween, Smart Infinity | No Comments

Halloween is becoming bigger and bigger every year in the Philippines.  And even in that short holiday, people really make an effort to dress up the place as if it were Christmas!

We must prepare for next year!!

I visited the Smart Infinity office the day after they celebrated Halloween and though they removed already some of the decor, it was still so festive!  In the Smart building – each floor has a different theme.  I only went to the Smart Infinity floor and this is what greeted mecelebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-5 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-4 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-3 Photos from their Halloween party 🙂celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-1 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-2 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-1 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-7 Past Halloweens at Smart – Starting with Jelly Belly Julie Carceller, Smart Infinity Head!  LOVE IT!!celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-6 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-8 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-9 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-10 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-11 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-12 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-13 Not only are the employees enjoying but their families as well celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-14 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-15 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-16 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-17 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-18 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-19 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-20 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-21 celebrating-halloween-in-offices-smart-1
