Very. Tiring. Probably the most tiring convention that I've ever attended. But still so much fun. I costripped on that day, together with some very cool friends. Our costrip group were intriguing. Akatsuki. White cloak. Black clouds. I didn't expect such a very good reception on our group costrip. Thanks to those who appreciated our "trip!" (Though some had doubts on our idea, and a few didn't quite like it... but who cares?! Read between the lines, pal!) Magic Five!  Shalnark-sama the "Manipulator" as Kakuzu Rumel the " Malaking bagay" as Zetsu " Likod ni Alex" as Hidan "Hands down" Bell as Konan "WTH?!" Kej a.k.a. Myself as Sasori Further elaboration:I call my character Kurosuna no Sasori (Sasori of the Black Sand). Well, because I retain my black hair instead of changing it to red. Oh, and I don't care if you won't care!! (More M3 con pics uploaded by Shalnark http://gravitybind.multiply.com/photos/album/65/Mangaholix_2k8) Lots of people took pictures of the group, so we can barely move on the convention premises. Really cool! But despite the 15-minute fame, the rest were really hard. Posing - "nakakangalay". I had a hard time dealing with my inner costume: the "Sasori body" It's really hard to move around with the whole thing. Also, after a long time wearing the suit, I had these blisters on my skin on my forearms because of the foam rubber sheets that were stuck on my arms. (Don't ask me how the heck I got those blisters from the rubber sheets.) I know my groupmates experienced difficulty, too, especially Zetsu. Even though he had a lot of fan girls in his arsenal, Zetsu couldn't be so happy because it's hard to maintain that huge black rubber thingy in place and someone made fun of his face by painting it black and white. *evil laugh* Some girl in the convention even called him " malaking bagay." Specifically, I heard her say "Uy, gusto kong magpakuha ng pic dun sa malaking bagay." Poor thing. Because almost the entire time we had in the convention were spent on picture taking, we hadn't catch a glimpse at the catwalk at all. Though I still found some impressive cosplayers loitering around. My favorite cosplay would be that girl with some kinda white suit with leopard design on the sides; the one with a half face plate. Don't know what she is cosplaying, but that was really cool. Plus, we have a picture with Tricia-san! (slumberdoll of DA.. I'm her fan. =P) But man, luck wasn't always in our sides. I didn't have the time to look on the amazing artworks there. Napagalitan pa kami sa MoA ni Manong Guard, agaw atensyon daw, at walang permit. Nyaha~ Worse, I didn't see Urbandub perform, the one thing I truly anticipate in the event. T_T Hmm, I met some people whom I now only know online before. Yuki, Llyngee and Hani! (Meron pa ba?) Nice meeting you! Also met some old friends. (And the elbi guys, idol nyo pa rin ako?! Salamat! Bat wala kayong Multips?! xDDD) Didn't see some people I'm expecting to see though. Special thanks to Maki (supposedly our Itachi), Donna (sunod ka lang lagi kay Kuya Mak ha?) at kay bf ni Bell (forgot your name yet again, pero galing mong photographer, pinagod mo kame LOL) Thanks na rin kay Kuya Alex ng van haha! At kay Ate Mananahi for our cloak. So that's it. Very wonderful event. After this convention, I'm probably back to my normal life again. (Un)finishing artworks, reading manga, and some other boring stuff. Well, two weeks from now is Toycon '08. Hmm... Mood: Delighted

|  | Soul Eater is my current obsession, so I browsed for some cosplay pics. Basically, almost everything here are from cosp.jp; the Soul Eater booth girls are from the International Anime Fair 08 in Tokyo.
And is Kej planning for a Soul Eater cos? Maybe Soul? Or Kidd? Or Dr. Stein? Can't decide yet. XD
(Will add more pics soon...)

O yan, convention uli! Visit http://www.toyconph.com/ for details and updates. Thanks to sephiroth of cosplay.ph for the info!
| | Shots taken by Sheena-chan. She's so kind she let me upload these photos on my Multiply account! ^_^ Well, it's only day 2 since Sheena-chan wasn't present on day 1. And I think, you freely grab them, but it's better if you leave a comment before grabbing them! =P

Oha-lucky! My monthly monologue! =D Oh how I love talking to myself... Ep.1This past weeks, I've been bothered by a number of, well, problems. And I needed a quick mind, to think like the wind, and ended up... Problem # 1: Practicum Dilemma Last month, my classmates were preparing bigtime for the upcoming practicum this summer. Because my mind was fluttering away slowly, everyday, that time, I couldn't decide if I would go for it or not...And I even attended a job fair (without any resume xD) that was held in our college to somehow influence me so I caould decide. Would I take the practicum course this summer?
Pros:
- I can finish a bothersome task quite early on.
- Fresh work on summer, a change from tedious classes.
- I can have money, in case the company offers.
- I can a take a topic early on, so I won't ran out of ideas if I delay the course.
Cons:
- I can't start my so-called "REVOLUTION" this summer. (Don't ask me about this! xD)- I have to spend more money if the site is too far from home.Decision:
Well, I didn't take it. Actually, the "last minute" for submitting the requirements and stuff, I decided that I would take the course, but realized that I should just take it easy, meaning next time. (I really didn't contact any companies. >_<) I can even get ideas from my classmates who are ahead of me... (Okay, I don't really used my thinking caps on this; I used my instinct.)
Problem # 2: The Job Offer
 Though this is still quite uncertain and the details are not yet clear, I'm really anxious about this. It's a job offer from my tita in Denmark. She said a shipping company back there needs a lot of workers and employees, specifically engineers. Tita said she'll give the details later, and she'll find a way for me to get a job there. Promising huh? No Pro/Cons Analysis:
Since there's insufficient data so far, I think I''ll jus t have to wait. I'm quite surprised myself for thinking ahead for my future plans; or maybe I'm just too tired... Problem # 3: Cosplay Time!! Oh shi~! A lot of anime conventions are coming soon, but I still can't decide who to cosplay!! I'm choosing from about four characters, though I would want to cosplay all of them soon. I'm using total cost as a factor to choose my next cosplay. But I don't want to rush things 'cause it may turn into a disaster. More like, I can't tell if I'm going to cosplay soon or just postpone it and do a better, well-prepared, and decent looking cosplay. And the most annoying factor that holds me back from cosplaying: tight budget. Really, I'm in near bankruptcy right now. (And I still want to do cosplay. That's what I call "passion"... =P). Think I would postpone my cosplay, from the planned date April to May? Pros:- Less worries for these coming weeks; can concentrate more on exams. LOL - My purse, if it still exist, will be so happy! - More time for preparation, much much better-looking cosplay! Cons:- But I do want to cosplay on April! - And cosplaying is not just about costume, right?! - I don't want to be a LURKER again!!! (Now I'm losing my reasoning abilities...) Decision:I'd say I'll postpone it. I'll work hard for my next cosplay! =D But then, I can be easily tricked... Problem # 4: The Unexplained "REVOLUTION"
 Though I love to have monologues every now and then and post it on my blog, I still have some things about me and my goals that are needed to be kept as secrets. (The hell I'm posting this if it's a secret!) It's the afore-mentioned "REVOLUTION", which consists of short-term goals that connects the shards of my broken ego; the strings that wind to form my lines of my unparalleled dreams; and the rush of bursting emotions that I must stabilize. OMGWTFYGQDDH@#&*^?!! Am I going insane?!!
Ep.2
And YES! The semester is about to end, so I need to tolerate, for things will turn out good soon, hopefully...
Mood: Optimistic Reading: Xblade manga, EE lecture hand-outs... Listening to: Vocaloid2 songs Playing: SimCity4 Watching: Gundam 00, Shakugan no Shana II Eating: Special Filipino Black Rice ( Tutong) Drinking: Unsterilized H2O ( Tubig Poso)
| | Some cool cosplay photos from two of my favorite mecha anime! I was looking for reference pics for my next cosplay, but I ended up looking at different cosplay pics from different anime! Well, actually, I already had most of this pics before, but after I saw that Lancelot cosplay, I decided to post this. That was not the best mecha cosplay, but I think it's still cool. And the first CC pic here is miss Lenneth, whom I'm friends with at deviantArt. =)
I'LL BE ADDING SOME MORE PICS SOON! ;)
And of course, these pics are NOT mine. All rights are reserved to their respective owners/models/photographers. |
| | Ciaossu! Here's some great Hitman Reborn cosplay photos that I've found in the net. I'm just very obessed with the manga right now! NOTE: Of course, these pics are not mine, therefore all the rights are reserved to their respective owners/photographers! Just uploaded them for the love of the manga and cosplay! xD Kudos especially to ~kyoistheology (the one cosplaying as Rokudo Mukuro/XANXUS/Superbia Squalo; he's my friend in deviantart.. :D) And yeah, some of the characters are portrayed by same persons, though I can't pinpoint them out...
And yeah, I can't find a Sasagawa Ryouhei cosplayer... to the extreme! xD |
| | Okay, here's part two! So it's about my life on the latter half of the year... Though there's a lot of event this time, there's fewer pictures here... Who cares anyway? It's still my ugly mug that is on (not all) these supposedly random pics! So, my journey to nowhere continues...
1. SKRAM V Churva pics (3 photos, courtesy of Maki)
- Yeah, the first 3 pics are filthy. We are self-centered SKRAM V (Shalnark/Kej/Rumel/Alex/Maki/Vernie). Those are our shadows; the next one is our hideout a ala Hueco Mundo; and me eating in a bowl outside our house near the manukan of my tito...
2. World Cyber Games/ Animax Convention - July (5 photos, courtesy of katsumi)
- Well, since the convention is kinda boring, we just kicked some gaming-asses and heed our way to the WCG as the Philippine representative for DotA... *continues daydreaming* (there's no DotA competition in WCG anyway)
3. Multiplexer finals - July (7 photos, courtesy of Seles pips)
- We were havung fun here. We can't show the other pics... XP
4. MakBan Trip - Sept. (2 photos, courtesy of Drew)
- We we're not able to take much pictures during our field trip because we were afraid that the geothermal plant will explode if exposed to digital camera flashes... (I'm a complete liar) So we took a few shots with the hard hats on to have that "engineer-look"
5. InSOMAnia - Sept (4 photos, fr Alex/Gzel)
- Yeah, we just took pics of us getting eliminated in the Tekken Tournament. We did enter the semis, though... And we caught some gold fish... (Please don't ask what's the connection...)
6. Skram V on EK - Nov (15 photos, courtesy of shalnark)
- Okay, at least I love the Space Shuttle... And someone I knew hates the Flying Fiesta... Tsk tsk..
7. Habitat For Humanity in Pasig - Nov (8 photos, courtesy of shaknark courtesy of philotakusociety) ^_^
- Construction work sure is hard. So is wire-twisting... xD
8. Orientation (9 photos, courtesy of shin-nee)
- One of the two orientation in the year, we really had a lot of newcomers to the organization... I gotta know them more...
9. Hataw Hanep Hero 2007 - Dec (17 photos, courtesy of Maki)
- Actually, we have a lot of pics here, but I posted only a few. Thanks Maki for capturing my faces together with great cosplayers! Your phone rocks! xP And yeah, you know where to buy tickets whenever you go to such events, so you won't look like noobs...
10. Skram V Year-Ender Swimming/ Reunion Sana/ Anong Nangyari - Dec. (5 courtesy of shalnark, I think...)
- This is stupid, I had no good picture in here... Maybe that's my punishment for using the videoke too much...
And that's about it! I have high hopes for 2008! May we all have wealth, luck, fame, and charming looks this Year of the Rat! ^o^ |
| | I'm Kej, and I'd like to leave a memory of the wholesome year of 2007! This past year, I've experienced a lot of ups-and-downs, but here I am, still alive and kickin'! I'd like to upload random pics, but it seems my randomness had me uploading pics in almost chronological order, and handpicked those that feature my ugly mug. xD Basically, these are pics from anime conventions and org activities of the year. Do note: THESE PICS ARE NOT MINE. Yep, because I don't have a freakin' camera (or phone)! So, I'll try my best to give credits to those who captured these pics. The photos in the part one of my 2007 journey to nowhere include:
1. PSICOM Convention 2007 - Jan. (25 photos, courtesy of Alex - Gzel's Camera)
- My first time to cosplay! I'm so very happy here... My tears washed away my eyeliner... Ulquiorra, you're EMO! Rumel seems to enjoy bringing around that huge Kaigetsu...
2. Random Iskul Shots - Jan-Feb (3 photos, courtesy of random people xD)
- We hate taking pictures at our EE building. Camera flashes can cause unwanted static electricity and can make the walls ignite. Yes, believe me... And we brag each time we wear those batch shirt, and the shirt's design is mine! ;-)
3. Eng Meet 07 and other org activitie. - Feb (16 photos, courtesy of SELES dudes)
- I don't have enough pics and I'm so inactive that time. And there's no cheering pics?!
4. Alumni Homecoming - Feb. (9 photos courtesy of... kanino to?)
- It's 70's theme, and we look like the Beatles! (wrong timeline?) And the girls, we call them "Headband girls.." I wore a ladies pants (i dunno how it's called) Haha!
5. OZINE Fest 2007 - Mar. (30 pics, from Alex/Gzel again, and some pics from shalnark's phone and I think there are other pics from other people... )
- I cosplayed again, but same character... This one's tiring, yet satisfying... Maki thought he won the individual cosplay category... xD
6. Mangaholix MangaMania - May (16 photos, fr. Alex/Gzel)
- Yeah, this is the convention where we stroll around MoA, then looked around the convention venue, sat, sat some more, slept, watched the first five people on the catwalk, then went home, while singing SREI Hymn in van. No kidding... >_<
So that's it for now.. yup, there's part two, because I'm lazy. If you like the photos, freely grab them. Of course you don't like them! XP |
