It was the first time I have encountered stereotype bashing from an asian (cosplay fan apparently, I'm not even sure if he or she is a cosplayer herself/himself) oh wait, let me rephrase that, ( cosplay racist apparently...)
He have written so many offending statements on his videos' description that I can't even understand since his english is so bad LOL
I grew up loving and knowing cosplay as a hobby and as a means of having fun so I was really disappointed and really surprised at how he even MADE UP laws concerning cosplay such as cosplay being only for asians and definetely was not meant to have FUN?!
It really makes my blood boil becauase apparently there are still people with brains the size of a sun dried raisi, known by the world as Racist!
Me, not caring about anything practically has no issue with racist, I mean I do drag races LOL (kidding)...O_O; ....but seriously, even for cosplay?!?
I was obviously so pissed off by ************** I was able to write this blog entry in no time (=_
Nobody is superior in cosplay, I believe in EQUALITY, if you don't agree with me then give me your lunch money and I shall feed it to the drowning kappa in the desert @.@ ...say what?!?

There are good asian cosplayers, sure there's Arisa Mizuhara and Kipi to name a few, but there are also not so good asian cosplayers, and the way ************** describes the physical traits of Asians, apparently she was sleeping during their geography class and failed to hear that India is part of Asia and basically contradicts the traits she believes how all asians look.
While there are not so good western cosplays, I am proud to mention that I am a fan of Adella's Aerith cosplay simply because she resembles the character. I also love the infamous Link cosplayers, they're gorgeous! plus I have quite a number of western cosplay pals that I'd love to cosplay with sometime soon and besides, Not all Anime or game characters fit asian physique, I cannot ultimately imagine even if I squeeze my brain out of my head how an Asian cosplayer could put off a good FF7 Barrett cosplay unless he's of mixed race, nor Tina of DOA aside from the fact that most Asians are flat chested *ouch!* Tina is a westerner (is there such a word? O_O I cannot effectively pronounce it lol)
So there! I just wanted to let it all outta my chest, I am very very pissed at how some people really tend to stain the purity of cosplay just for their own pointless problem/s concerning the other races

love and fish

Have also had the chance to have a mini north travel with our Suzuki Bandit... funny how the tollgate person mistaken us for another rider who apparently has the same bike.
It was like going to the moon running at a speed at the SCTEX! it wassssss soooooo funnnnnnnn!!!
I also noticed my cheeks has shrunk as my helmet seem to have become a bit loose on the cheeks area than before... have been looking for a full-face sized SM but apparently all the full-face ones only runs from size ME up (T.T)
Also went travelling down south and I strongly suggest one should try out the Mushroom burger there, it was just yyyuummmmmmmmmmmmmm

Anywaysss most of my cosplay plans and other motor/bike show plans was not met, even the ones with my friend from abroad as her flight was rescheduled... hopefully there will be a next time.

Anywaysss again, not that I am done (for now) with my annual travellie davellie, hopefully I will be more active on cons and other events, The World VOLKSWAGEN DAY is very near and I am looking forward to it

Also heard of a con by August though I will have to consult my cosplay partner Rosel if we can go. I am terribly hoping it would be held somewhere more ventilated like in MOA or any other venue other than Megamall (No offense but I find the need for Megamall to work on a more effective ventilation system for the trade halls, cons there are ALWAYS TOO CROWD-DEAD )


Hope to see my fellow VW enthusiasts, Co-Bikers, and Co-Cosplayers sometime soon ^_^ ja

My Best Friend and I finally found an event we can 110% be able to go to this Month
It will be on the 29th at the SM Mall of Asia
You can check the link [link] to view more details about the event

I will debut my KosMos cosplay on that event although I have to redo my headdress T.T
The wire on the previous one slipped out the fabric and I don't want to cosplay with my cheek bleeding O_O ... so I will have to redo it and fast since the 29th is next Sunday woooooooooo

I'm sooooooooooooo excited
My Best Friend will go as Shion and hopefully on the following tour dates, MoMo will be able to join us (probably on the last few dates since she will be arriving from Dubai around those dates....oh and it's gonna be her birthday too)


Hope the event will be as fun as my previous cosplay (To Love Ru) or maybe even better weeeeeeeeeeeee~~~

I hate the extreme sunlight =_= they burn me to a crisp
Summer is just basically the season of the year I am irritated the most.
Aside from the raging heat, I am completely stressed and depressed from a whole bunch of things.

1. I can't enjoy my day off
As much as I want to head to a spa and relax or simply just spend the entire day sleeping without doing or worrying about anything... I can't T.T; ...why? secret!

2. I can't enjoy going out without spending too much
If I wanna go out to have fun I really really have to spend double don't ask why

3. I want to cosplay regularly but can't!
As much as I so so soooooooooo very much want to attend cons and cosplay with friends, I can't due to personal restrictions and reasons =_= ; huhuhuh

4. My brother is sick and the only medicine that worked for him had been phased out!
It's the Bricanyl Turbuhaler huhuhuh anybody knows where this is still sold?

5. I've gained weight!!!
been having fast food too often lately and if you haven't watched the documentary "SUPER-SIZED ME" I suggest you do
so now I'm back to my all greens diet and aerobics


I really don't like Summer as much as I don't really like the rainy season T.T

I think... but there're still the difference) ... I mean... you can obviously see the difference in the anime and manga ...( kyaaaaaaaaa @ kyohei's kitty eyes )

I can actually see myself in Suna-chan... well NOT the weird part and gothic interests but basically the "cooking" part and the carelessness plus those "hate being a lady" part.... the "I hate make up, I'm not pretty, I hate dresses" stuff like those

Then I can see Kyohei as somebody really special to me (Specially the "ANNOYING" part .... and the "Ooohhh prawns! oohhh crabs! yumm yumm I don't care about girls stuff )

So I may say I really got addicted to it... (somebody upload the next chappies or be killed!!!!! )

I later gave in to the Ken X Omi pairing as witnessed probably in one of my old fanfictions.

Anywayssssss I was browsing through Takehito Koyasu's blog (which happens to be the BEST MALE SEIYUU in the whole huge blue and green turning gray world IMO ...) and I ended up being linked to this Anime Site titled VELVET UNDERWORLD ... at first I thought he was talking about Weiss' opening song way back when which I happen to still love listening to, but then when I got into the site I realized it was a whole new series and I'm honestly NOT surprised to see a character there who looks exactly like Ran Fujimiya only with soft BLUE hair instead of crimson Red and what's even less of a surprise is that the character's name is AYA

There are also a lot of other characters that greatly resembles characters from the original Weiss Kreuz, and there's even one character named PAWN who I think was supposed to resemble Omi but remembering that there had been a character named PAWN in WEISS GLUHEN I think makes me wonder if there is some sort of relation in the series (Sorry the other part were in Kanji and sadly I only know limited hiragana and katakana so don't kill me ) but you can check out the site here for yourselves: [link] I've directed it to the characters page.

How I enjoy remembering the bishounens of that series...

YUSUKE was my all time idol and favorite,I was boyish back then
YOUKO was my secret crush,2nd favorite *gets stabbed by fangirls*
HAGIRI KANAME was my 3rd favorite
KURAMA was my 2nd idol and 4th favorite (Although I WAS a Yaoist back then I just can't imagine Kurama with Hiei, sorry)
and JIN was locally known as Jinda, he was cute

I also laugh at myself when I remember how I used to see myself as Botan ( We were very very much alike and growing up, I oddly sounded like her local seiyuu but that was 6 years ago )

I have cosplayed her before I think around 2001 or 2002 but I was not confident to tell that I gave her justice so currently I'm thinking of cosplaying her again sometime soon ...

As I have stated in my most recent deviation (which is rather small) sorry, I was browsing through some old files and it led me to my old fanfiction account I have been laughing the whole evening while reading a very few fictions I have written when I was still in High School! Sadly though I think I made a mistake uploading them 6 years ago since some of the words, lines, phrases and even paragraphs were missing It actually made me regret how I wished I couldve kept a back up file of my writings. They still send shivers to my spine when I read them

Other than my own fics, I have been reading a few others of similar genre at fanfiction.net, (I actually missed that site I'm very thankful they're still there)Most of which are from Yu Yu hakusho with specific pairings of YUSUKE X BOTAN, KURAMA X BOTAN, YOUKO X BOTAN and I even found a KURAMA X BOTAN X YOUKO one they were all great, to the authors please keep on writing

I will be honest and admit most of the fics I have read RECENTLY are either Lime or Lemon but they were all decent with heartwarming contents ... contrary to more common Lemon fics with a "let's get it on" theme T_T

*sigh* I can't help but grin and squirm at the thought, as an artist I have quite an imagination and those fics just kept urging my imagination to make "suggestive" art ideas and inspires me completely to create art with love and intimacy ... ... and I'm starting off with Yu Yu Hakusho

I think what happened to me is still an awfully unpleasant way to
start the year...
This Morning on around 11AM Manila Time, I had a Motorbike accident.
This is the baby bandit I was riding: [link]

Me and Ojiisan was on our way to The Index Salon (PRC Makati Branch) to get a haircut. Just as we were nearing the salon, (exactly past the traffic lights just across Shopwise shopping center) This kid, approximately 3-4 years old, appeared out of nowhere! The worse part is, we saw the kid crossing the near-empty street! he was crossing just as a taxi (about 2 meters ahead of us) was rushing through the road, we swear the kid was hit by the taxi! but just as we were nearing the taxi who stopped in the nick of time before hitting the kid, to our surprise, the kid headed running towards us!?! Instead of crossing the road to safety in either directions (towards to where he was supposed to be going or back to where he came from), he headed straight towards us?!? We already saw the kid as I have mentioned beforehand so were already slow and on first gear that time, if the kid had headed straight back to where he came from everything could've been fine, but NO! he headed straight towards us (did I mention this like for the 3rd time )so we tried to avoid hitting the kid and ended up counter stirring the bike and sliding off in the middle of the road. Due to proper execution and a little bit of good luck, we only ended up with mere scratches and bruises, nothing serious or anything (otherwise I wouldn't be updating this journal right now). The bike's gearbox was damaged because of the slide, hitting one of the road's reflector, but it was fixed in no time, same goes to the bike's left slider. The good part is, it didn't cost much, heheh Thank you Thank you Power Bykes. Also, thank you Super Bykes for helping us (they were the first to help us and assisted us on their shop while waiting for pick up ).
Ojiisan managed to grab the kid to ask him where his parents are (we couldn't blame the innocent 3 year old, we could only blame IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS) but right after we took the bike and headed to a safe spot, the kid suddenly vanished ?!?

Residents there claimed the kid was from a "squatters area" near the place (so we weren't surprise if he was left there in the highway playing by himself...or so we thought). Other passersby who stopped by to check on us claim it was a "scam"... parents from the same area mentioned above INTENTIONALLY let they're young kids play in the highway while they watch secretly from afar and INTENTIONALLY let them get into an accident so they can milk some money from the driver/vehicle owner who was supposedly responsible for the accident... can you believe that?!? At first I didn't want to believe they could go that low! honestly! innocent kids, and to think their own?! ...but when I revisit the scenario I couldn't help but think:
During that time, the street was almost empty with vehicles... I could only remember us with the Bike and the taxi, there weren't even any vehicles after us (Thank GOD)... the kid could've crossed while the road was clear but NO, it seems too coincidental that the kid ran across the street just as the taxi was approaching.
Inside my head... I can't help but thought... could it be possible that their target all along was the taxi? (probably knowing the taxi would pay them handsomely for any damage) It's just that the kid was shocked and got freaked out that he ended up running away from the taxi and towards us (which I don't think he saw coming...he was staring at the taxi)...And when the "supposed watcher" saw that the kid had no damage BUT we sure do and probably knew that he/she had to pay (supposedly) for our damage, pulled the kid away from the scenario and hid away into safety.... coz we swear the kid just vanished when people started showing up to see what happened. *sigh*

We were really lucky enough to only end up with such minor injuries (same goes to the bike although I think we need to have it re-checked up, it was a bit shaky going back home, not sure if it's just me or the bike)

Happy New Year to everyone, hope your new year started way better than mine

Oh and unfortunately my Seigaku Jacket got some few ripz/scratches http://Yakult45.deviantart.com/journal/22284792/ Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:12:45 PST
1. I will try to update my DA more
2. I will try to spend more time with friends
3. I will try not to spend too much on food (even if I love eating)
4. I will clean my room more often
5. I will learn to properly put on make up (T.T) (because I have no clue how to use those)
6. I will be more feminine (in appearance and actions)
7. I will focus on a healthier lifestyle
8. I will work harder and avoid slacking off

just wish could comply to all these






The storm has past end of story.

Anyways I only have 5 particular items in mind

In no particular order:

1. A Volkswagen Kombi for my Kombi project (Bikini type preferred )

2. Sony Ericsson C902 in Black

3. KosMos ver. 4 Figure (although I already have one ordered at wasabitoys I sooo wub KosMos )

4. Coinssss for my Meez my username there is KosMos17 incase any meezers out there wants to donate hahah

5. Nintendo DS in Pretty Pink because all the games I want are released for DS instead of PSP darn! I hardly use my PSP anymore

It's ok if I could use my LaLa costume for the event but I promised a friend I'd lend it to her since I'm not wearing it for that event.

The C.C. costume is still ok but I lost weight and it'd have the same problem with my KosMos costume.

The only thing left for me to do is have a costume that's easy, simple and can be done in a day... and only one costume comes to my mind... TTGL: YOKO kidding! Although it'd only be a bra, boot cover, got the shorts and belt and can easily make the skull hair pin...My CHEST can't bear to do it (>_<
I'd put "monay" or "siopao" (porkbuns) but then again ...
or maybe this O_O [link] Ringo?

*Sigh* I am seriously thinking now maybe Mikuru's maid outfit (SOS B.) Aya of Ichigo 100% or Iori of I's ... their fuku can be done in no later than 2 days ...

*sob* *sob* *sob*



How I'd wish they could move the event date at least a week

It was my first time up there I'm not much of a traveling turtle after all.
The weather was nice and cold just the way I liked it, but other than that, the rest of my expectations were not met.
First of all, we were really expecting to see "Nature at it's finest"... unfortunately we didn't. Mines view park had some nice scenery over the mountains but most part of those mountains were already covered by houses, plus as expected in a public place, trash everywhere in the park (T.T)
Then, Botanical Garden contained 75% Plants, Flowers, Trees and the rest of the 25% GARBAGE!!! (>.<
It was also just the planting season for strawberries so we weren't able to do any strawberry picking at the strawberry farm *sigh* and to think that was basically the reason I went all the way up there
I was also expecting to see some natives (yeash the Igorots) and maybe take some photos but instead, we found the place crawling with Koreans O_O; yes, we can tell their Korean because they're definitely not talking Nippon go otherwise we would've understood whatever they were saying
Ojiisan and I were most likely mistaken as one of them T.T vendors whom we bought food and souvenirs from were rather surprised when we talk to them in Tagalog or English to those speaking in Ilocano. It seems they can't tell the difference between Japanese and Korean people...well can't blame them, the 2 races basically looks the same anyways

Anywaysssss I dunno why why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy but I seem to have been losing weight on my upper torso O_O huwaaa???
when I tried my KosMos Costume on again yesterday, it was rather very loose on the chest area (yes! where the hole in her costume is supposed to be!) I have been and will be very busy in the coming days with work after the holiday so I have no time to alter it myself, I'll have to take it to a seamstress who can rush the alterations needed

Of all parts that needs to get small why? why? whyyyyy????? The "Must Increase ..." exercise seems useless

I looked like I was the younger sib and I was surprised he was wearing the Aya Fujimiya (weiss kreuz) Shirt I made 5 years ago I'm really happy that the design I made was still whole, clear, and good as new since most shirts with hand-painted designs doesn't usually last that long, they either fade or get ruined in time (why Yes, I hand painted that Aya-Fujimiya on the shirt 5 years ago while I was still experimenting with textile paint on fabrics ....) Too bad I wasn't able to take a picture, come to think of it I didn't took any photos of anything I guess I was too preoccupied that I forgot to.

A lot has changed since the last time I've been in that part of Bulacan, there was now Robinsons SuperMarket in Pulilan
although it was kinda small, SM Baliuag is opening soon, A lot of older shops has closed down, new bars and grills were opened up NEAR THE CEMETERY OF STO.CRISTO! which I find *sigh* reallu saddening, seems more people are losing their conscience having no respect for the departed.

Anyways we went there to visit our old seamstress to ask her to make the costumes for my friend kohran (shion of Xenosaga)and my brother (Allen Walker of D.Grayman). We got lost on the way to her house haahahah, as far as I can remember she lives in a small lot with lots of vegetation near the road, I could no longer find the small area of plants and flowers going to her house because a big yellow house was built in the former vacant lot and it was hard to recognize the place anymore from 4 years ago.

Funny though how she still recognizes us. She had to step on a chair to get my brother's measurements by the way
She also remembered me as the little girl who's always sick ahahahhahahah now why do people remember me that way? hhhhmmm...



oh and on a very very sad note, one of our 4 puppies is very very sick and seems to be dying
She hasn't been eating and she doesn't want to take her medicine, among the 4 she's the youngest and by far the smallest in the group, I'm very worry and sad for her I don't want her to die no! no! no! I haven't even given her a name yet

I also found out through my brother that my dog from Bulacan whom I named Sasuke (Don't ask why, T.T; Naruto was just new that time and I thought Sasuke was bad*ss...that was 5 years ago) anyways, he's dead huhuhuhuh he was sick when I left but he didn't died because of that, apparently one of our drunkard neighbors killed him and cooked him! those Cannibals!!! those evil, bad, terrible, shameless people!!!!

On the other hand, Sasuke's brother (no not Itachi T.T;...) Eevee is still alive and doing... ]]> ~Yakult45 http://Yakult45.deviantart.com/journal/20966569/ http://Yakult45.deviantart.com/journal/20966569/ Mon, 13 Oct 2008 09:23:17 PDT

I am soooooooooooooooo very excited to be cosplaying KosMos
unfortunately I have deprive myself of sweets and sugary carvings
I have to stay on a diet to make sure my costume will still fit me by next month >.<
It's not NOT EATING ANYTHING kind of a diet really I just need to maintain my current weight so it's more of a healthy diet with entirely no SWEETS nor EXTRA SUGAR intake of any sort (not just desserts but all those sweeeeeeeet flavored drinks) I am now taking in only pure water (no ice, not even cold) and hot coffee with no sugar instead of the regular iced coffee with tons of sugar.
It may sound easy but for someone with a sweet tooth such as myself... it's torture

I am soooooo willing to give justice to my KosMos cosplay that I am actually considering getting contacts for her despite the fact that my eyes are small and sensitive and wearing contacts for the first time in my entire life might just be the scariest thing for me to do aside from getting vaccines or medical shots or anything involving pricking me with a needle! >_<

On the other side of my daily planet, we recently bought a 250cc Suzuki Bandit Bike and O__O whoa is it BIG! not to mention heavy! but super shexy hahahhahhah
I Love it! we called him Fenrir (yeah Cloud's bike hahahah)

I so so sooooooo wannna ride Fenrir! but I have to learn and practice first because he's really heavy and if I made a booboo and fell, his weight might squash my leg off O__O;; ....oh and yeah I have to get a license first of all too hahahha I don't even have a student's license yet

Back to Cosplay
I love my KosMos costume
anywayssss yesterday, I wasn't able to drop by cosmania coz I was too busy, I heard the tickets were sold out and like 75% of the crowd were cosplayers.

I really miss the earlier years of cosplay here...

Before:
Cosplay events takes 2-3 days usually Fridays through Sundays

Now:
Cosplay events takes 1-2 days, more often 1 than the latter

Before:
Cosplay events provides enough space, they'd usually rent out 2 halls if necessary to accomodate everybody ( that's why before, cosplayers in an event reaches up to a number of 300 more or less )

Now:
Cosplay events takes place on convention halls with the much cheaper value (Resulting to unaccomodated cosplayers or audience or simply not enough space for everybody)

Before:
Cosplayers took the time and effort to Make their costume or at least 50% of it

Now:
Most costumes are brought, or tailored or commissioned

Before:
You could recognize all characters being cosplayed, they ALWAYS come from a specific series be it game, anime or comics

Now:
Around 40% of cosplays I see these days are often marked with "Original" or "Own Design" "Own Character" etc. Not that I find anything wrong with it, I just find it unusual... I do not mean to be rude but wearing "Avril Lavigne" clothing line or wearing 2 different color socks and putting a caption on it as "J-rock/J-pop fashion" or "Harajuku fashion" is not really considered cosplaying. I'm sorry but I don't even think it fits in the Harajuku fashion category nor J-pop/J-rock. I've seen some wear mini skirts and knee high socks and says it's thei J-pop cosplay and it really embarrasses me coz I wear mini skirts and knee highs when I go shopping and I'm not cosplaying at that point O.o it's like ugmmm regular clothes so I don't understand how it could be cosplay unless it's obviously been seen worn in an anime like may be Naru's outfit from Love Hina?

*No I'm not in Rant Mode I'm just confused O_o?

Finally for now...

Before:
Cosplayers are willing to do the extreme for cosplay, I mean extreme for their hair. Back then 75% of cosplayers have almost wire-like hair because of hair bleaching (talk about the torture on your scalp! )

Now:

that would be a month away I know but that would be the only event this year that I am 110% sure to go

We will have our xenosaga groupie debut on that event.... hhhmmmm thinking of it, it has been almost 5 years since I last organize a group for cosplay, the last would be our Guilty Gear Group, (Since our Naruto Group which happens to be my last cosplay before temporarily retiring, was organized by my friend Jiraiya )

I am very very very very super duper excited
talk about posing it on my DA journal months before

Anyway there has been a change of plans by the way for our Xeno group. Instead of having only Kosmos ver.4 from Xeno 3, there will be 4 KosMos-es

KosMos ver. 1 - Maxim's friend...err forgot her name >.<
KosMos ver. 2 - Kohran
KosMos ver. 3 - Maxim
KosMos ver. 4 - Me

Anyways after a really long while, the Rainy season is over and although there's a typhoon right now, our area isn't THAT affected.
The end of the Rainy season reminded me of Ima, ai ni yukimasu (Be With You) an old Japanese Drama I had fallen inlove with from somewhere in time.

I am not the type of person who's really into drama, my movie preferences would often be asian horror (except filipino, sorry I don't mean to discriminate nor be rude but I don't find those horror movies... interesting nor impressive, probably because the country is dominated and united by a single religion with not much err... fictional? err... or rather superstitious beliefs unlike other religions with such rich and mostly horrifying superstitions)
but Ima, ai ni yukimasu really made my heart melt.
I'm not gonna spoil the movie but instead would suggest you guys watch it, it's really really really moving.

That would be the 2nd best drama movie I've watched in my entire life (I've only watched 3 movies in the drama genre in my entire life aheheh I'm really not into it, in fact I've only watched those since I ran out of good asian movies to watch and they were also recommended by a friend) The 1st and Best drama would probably be Tada, kimi wo aishiteru (HEAVENLY FOREST) OMG my heart melted away with that movie! I was like crying while and after watching it
again I won't spoil it and highly recommend you watch it but just a fact I'd like to share, I can really really really relate to Shizuru, I can clearly see myself in her character I swear!!! She actually reminds me of myself...how I was approximately 3-4 years ago... and if she had... I'm sure we'd be exactly at the same stance right now.

The 3rd drama I had watched and really liked was HINOKIO, it's actually pretty childish but I liked it anyways

Excited to be KosMos

aside from being sick literally ALWAYS( I USED to have asthma so the rainy season isn't really for me)... I have been eating nothing but instant noodles and canned chili beef&beans which basically consists of 90% beans and 10% beef T_T and been drinking only water... I MISS YAKULT!!!

I WANT MEEEAAAAATTTT!!!!! huhuhuhuhuh I was not able to make it at the con last 30th due to my health condition, I really wish the Rainy Season is over, while not true to all, People do lose their appetite when they are sick so basically I've been having eating problems. While I do have cravings for MEAT MEAT and YAKULT, I am not allowed to take any until I get well. MEAT and heavy meals including those with Rice (OMG SUSHI!!! yuuuuummmmmmm) are not recommended for me at the moment huhuhuhuhuhuh

While food with high sugar content (yes I am diabetic, I grew up in a province where people eat sweets for breakfast, lunch, snacks ad dinner, and did I mention I am a POCKY and CHOCO BABY ADDICT? )
are taken away from me , I happen to sneak a few oreo cookies in my safety sweets deposit box bwahahahahah so you could probably imagine my body contents at the moment:
BONES
SKIN
FATS
SUGAR
SUGAR
SUGAR

I could probably get the blame for not getting well but... I leave the blame to the terrible weather (SUPER HOT NOON, WINDY AFTERNOON, RAINY EVENING, DRIZZLING MORNING )

Setting health issues aside, I have been trying to contact Kohran ( SHION ) for the past few days there has been A LOT OF COSPLAY CONVENTION LINE UPS this coming -ber months so I really have to organize my groups *sigh*

in fact I still feel groggy that I'm not sure what else to say in this journal entry
...all the drugs... err medicines are making my head spin...
It started out a simple common cold that worsen and worsen each day...
It started when I gone out one evening under the heavy rain...

Anyways If my recovery keeps up I might drop by the upcoming con this 30th... it's actually an art convention and I wouldn't be here in deviantart if 1. I am not an ARTist and 2. If I don't take ART as a daily vitamin. I won't be cosplaying though, I've had offers to go as Iori from "Is" but sadly I don't want to commit to something I might not be able to fulfill as I have been sick and is still recovering...

My Xenosaga groupie is complete and will be debuting on cons after cosplaymania as I already have some plans for the said event and me being able to attend that convention has a 50/50 risk based on it's event date. I am thinking (if given the chance) to cosplay with my 2 female friends (Maksim & Kohran who'll be MoMo and Shion on my xenosaga groupie) on that event and we are thinking of an all girl mini group for it. Rayearth is out because it has been cosplayed too many times already, same goes for sailor moon ... so if you have any suggestions for the 3 of us feel free to send me note or comment


P.S.

I missed DA

I was beginning to think they were just saying what they were trained to say on cases like that being a call center agent. Their office sounded terribly noisy by the way unlike in other Contact centers, I swear I could hear a lady shouting "What's for Lunch?" in Tagalog when I called O,O Anyways so another 24 hours passed and I called again since there was no progress with my connection, I happen to ask around and it seems our neighbors that have the same ISP were experiencing the same thing. SOooo I called again and the guy told me there were NEVER any base station problem in our area O,O WTH?! BUT when I asked him to check my connection he suddenly said "Don't worry it should be ok in 24 hours"" then hung up before I could even say WTH!?! I was then really very very frustrated so I called one last time and got hold of another rep and told him everything and this time AGAIN, he said the problem was the upgrading of the base station in our area! Then, you guessed right, promised me again that the connection will be ok in 24 hours... adding all the 24 hours I'd say I've been waiting for like 72 hours already!!! That was it! I was fed up! Pissed!

The very next day We went straight to their service center and filed a complaint. The person talked to the person in charged in our area and apparently they had nothing but notes and NO ACTION! The person in charge said "Yeah we have notes here blah blah blah" and the really nice guy who took our complaint said "Yes but you see those notes had been there since MONDAY etc. etc. etc." (I think it was Thursday or Friday when we filed the complaint) Sooooooo I assumed the notes would've just ROT there if we hadn't personally talked to one of their representatives!

That very evening our connection was ok, the interesting part was that our IP address changed, so I really believe there was NEVER AN UPGRADE, all that was ever needed was a power cycle from the base station! You see in my understanding the base station is like a giant router in most cases, it's like a giant wireless router that supports an area's internet connections, that is why, in case you have always wondered, why your IP address is similar to your neighbor's IP address and that is why you often have downloading problems due to IP with megaupload or other similar sites that only accepts 1 download per 1 IP, now if that giant router is power cycled then the IP of course will change, unfortunately you and your neighbor will still share the same IP address.

I know this entry would've blasted your brains in outer space and I'm sorry if so but I just gotta let this our of my chest

I was told by a good friend that there will be an upcoming event/convention this August and I'd really really love to go.

I have been cosplaying since 2001 and I do have a lot of costumes in my closet although 90% of them are "retired"

Soooo I was thinking of maybe altering some old costumes to make a new and simple one that I can use in the upcoming con andddddddd I ended up with "Kuradoberi Jam" from Guilty Gear XX (FYI I cosplayed Dizzy before hahahah I think I was the 1st Dizzy cosplayer in the country :ROFL: yeah~ ) I am big fan of the game and I always use Jam if not Mito Anji in the game (yay for cheap tricks ~)

Sooooo I just need an opinion for the few people who know me if I should consider cosplaying as Jam or not for this August event just while my xenosaga group is still making its progress

Feel free to comment :LOL:

Oh and I dunno why but I can't seem to change my mood icon below, it has been "love dazed" for a number of entries now. I tried and wanted to change it but the pop out from DA only displays the euphoric icon and believe me I am not euphoric hahahhah my mood is supposed to be "HIGH" from all the meds I took hahahhahahah

too bad her love team Avocado Green will not be able to make it you see he lives in far away land and no he's not shrek hahahah being avocado green does not make you shrek

Anyways... I dyed my hair BLUE(just my tail because while my hair seem short at first sight, I actually have this really really long rat tail which most people mistook as hair extensions?! O.o; ) anyways (again XD ) I dyed it blue and got really really disappointed T.T because it ended up blue-black instead of the NEON BLUE I was hoping for and to think it was a well-known salon here that worked on my hair. Really disappointing, makes me miss going back to the province... YES, Salons and Parlors in the province actually do it better!

There was a particular Salon/Parlor in Baliuag Bulacan (near St.Mary's academy before now St.Mary's college) that was actually very very successful in making my hair NEON BLUE (Like Kos-Mos's hair in Xenosaga ep.2 which is a bit darker than her other hair colors in other installments of the game) I don't particularly remember the name of the Salon and am not so sure if they are still located there (since it has been more than 4 years when I last took a visit) All I could remember was the 2 hair stylists that worked on my hair (how could I forget? they were the 1st and might be the last who were able to give me what I want for my hair which is turning it to neon-blue) Their names are Elmer (I thinks Subas was his/her last name) and Pia although if I remember it right Elmer did most of the work. It was the BEST hair day of my entire life!!! unfortunately it only lasted a week because I had to obey my School's policy on hair colors or otherwise get suspended for it (I'd choose suspension just to keep that hair but my mom didn't aheheheheheh)

So now I miss them, how I wish I could turn my hair neon-blue again just like that specially now that I have the freedom to do,dye and style my hair however I want Oh guys I miss you, I wish you could still do your magic on my hair if I get the chance to visit you again huhuhuhuhuhuh

* I was Baby Spice on my school's performing arts club, we literally had a Spice Girls group of some sort way back then and we perform on every school event/occasion, I was chosen by our adviser to join as Baby Spice growing up with Japanese influence rather than western I was forced to memorized their songs and steps and gestures and I have embarrassed myself on stage for like a billion times since it was really not my forte.
FYI: Morning Musume was the girl group for me that time, unfortunately nobody in school have ever heard of it before since Japanese culture was not yet well recognized in the country that time

* I do not know how to smile on camera. I don't know why but I was never comfortable smiling for a shot, most of the time my jaw would tremble or my gums would show when I try too hard. That is mainly the reason I seldom choose characters who smiles too much for my cosplays as much as I want to choose them because in reality I love sharing my smile to everyone, except to the camera
FYI: I am trying to improve on that though

* I'm a Choco Baby addict... I will survive a year without eating anything but Choco Baby. (Not actually sure if that's embarrassing but I really couldn't think of any more ... I'll probably just edit if I remember anything more or REALLY embarrassing like the 1st 2

As much as I want to attend and cosplay in ALL the anime/gaming/toy conventions that comes my way, I just can't *sob* I try to but effortlessly fail.

I will be 110% attending the Comicon though and would cosplay if it's an open category cosplay, If you have read my previous journal entries, my next cosplay will be a game character and it doesn't sound appropriate for an event where the main theme is Comics If it is an open category though then yay for it will be out groupie's debut

we are still looking for the male cast by the way ...oh and did I mention specially Chaos? hahah

I have been reading fanfics and making them too lately and how I wish I have a decent scanner for my artworks, I so so sooooooo super love her being paired with Chaos *sigh* Chaos soo adorable

Speaking of Chaos, I am very happy that some of my friends will be cosplaying some characters from the same series with me, unfortunately (or fortunately I guess for some people heheheh) we are all girls hahahah Can't wait to have a skit with them sometime soon on the next con (after Toycon that is )

It'd be really great if find some Male casts to join us (specialy Chaos hahahhahah )

We are all having the costumes from ep. III and yes we have a T-elos to do yuri stuff with me hahahhahah kidding

First off, I am currently looking for a thigh-length silver or white wig with long bangs for my next costume (No it's not for Sepiroth nor Yazoo, I just need it to be white so I can use it as base and color it with the right hue oh and nope it's not Lala's either, sadly, I haven't found a dusty-rose wig for her yet ) so anyways if you have any idea where I can get it locally (Since I do not have paypal yet and I find using Credit Cards online too risky) please give this bacteria a bump

Also, due to personal duties and responsibilities, I will not be able to drop by and cosplay on ToyCon so you'll probably see Lala again on another con after that.

I am also very very very excited for my next cosplay plan for I will be cosplaying my DREAM CHARACTER EVER woooooooooooo! for me, she's the bestest best game character ever she just sooooo sooooooo *sigh* (No she's not from Final Fantasy ) I'll be doing her most recent costume from the 3rd installment of the game

I'll have to ask Dizzy Boi and Ojiisan to help me make her weapon wwoooo so excited


btw to those asking, my Lala costume was made by mr. Toto and Paz of Makati not Mang Poly (for the millionth time T_T)

soooo I am dedicatin this Journal entry to give thanks and credit to all the photographers and spectators that took my pictures during the convention, thank you thank you

Most photos that I found earlier are posted here on my DA along with credits to their photographers, other pictures are still out there and I am still deciding whether to post all of them here or not (cause I really don't want to flood my DA with pictures of me that basically has the same pose in like 50 pictures or more LOL hahah)

Would like to give special zankyuuu~~~ to
EKLEKTIK [link]
I have a number of pictures there and a lot of nice comments on them from other cosplayers thanks a whole bunch, you make this bacteria squirm with Joy

Also to
Hitomi 16 [link] & [link] for the very very flattering number of pictures I have O___O; thank you~~~

I laugh myself silly when I saw most of those pictures specially during the catwalk, I looked sooooo groggy ahahahhhaah I was really bouncy and Hyper and
all smiles during the earlier part of the con but after sometime of trying to look cute (like Lala-chan) over and over again for photos, my jaw kinda like went "awweee hey can we rest from for a sec?" hahhahahahhah

I was also in the 2nd batch of cosplayers (being late >_< heheh) so by the time it was my turn to get on stage, (due to not being able to have lunch and had limited gulps of water plus extreme heat from the costume) I was very tired and absent-minded and I basically ended up looking like Lala after running away or getting away (which sounds more appropriate hahhah) from Pikara LOL

Thanks again to all the enthusiasts who took my picture and who gave nice comments on them if you're one of them, don't hesitate to tell me so I can credit you guys ok? again, Zankyuuu~~~

again the answer (for the millionth time...ok well maybe just the hundredth ) the answer is NO, I don't even know who on earth or on Saturn that is

sorry I don't mean to sound so mean O_O hahahhah now that sounds weird ...
anyways, I'm not being mean or anything in fact if the costume was assumed to be made by that person then he or she must be really good in making costumes because making my Lala costume was really no joke specially making Peke ... It's really just that I don't think it's right for somebody to get credits for something he didn't do and has nothing do with at all

Love and Fish LOL I mean

I got Teary eyes in the middle of the con due to camera flashes that never seem to stop (flattered by the way by how photographers and most specialy spectators seem to make me their favorite subject..but then again it could just be me XD )

It was very very very tiring because I had work the evening before the con, then had to wash Mr.Bitol before going to the con so basically I only have like 3 hours of rest (not sleep at all) then due to traffic, me and my friends had to rush to get dress to make it in time for the registration whiched caused me skipping lunch (oh and I only had a banana for breakfast T.T) ..but it was all worth it, it was really fun.

I got to see 2 pioneer cosplayers I have knowned years back, Carla and... ugmmm (>.< sorry I forgot koenma-chan's name waaaah *hides* then I met the infamous sentai helmets maker gibbs and 2 of his other friends that I have failed effortlessly to remember the names *ducks at flying tomatoes*

Oh Yeah to those curious I cosplayed Lala Satalin Deviluke from To Love Ru Trouble, I don't have my own camera that time so I'll have to rely on the photographers' mercy to pass on some photos to me *puppy dog eyes*

I always wanted to try Photography and share my passion for VW bugs and VW cars through it. But unfortunately, Video game consoles has deprived me from being able to buy a good enough camera that would give me fairly good photos (I had always say that good photography depends 20% on the camera and 80% on the photographer).

I was really overwhelmed when I saw 3 deviants added the "Mr.Bitol" Photos I uploaded in their favorites/collection and to think all I used was a Sony Ericsson K800 Celfone camera hahahahahahah, depended on the street lights and timing

To you guys who added the photos I uploaded, you know who you are, thank you very very very much, you guys just made this little bacteria's core squirm with Joy thank you thank you

P.S.
I now decided to look into buying a more suitable camera for photography (^_^) hahahah
