yay, 7 years! hahahahahhah

well hello again DA friends!

>_<
gaaaaaaaaa
3:30 am
am looking at my FB and all i see are AFA posts and feels.
like whoa, until now? yes.
AFA was that awesome and the people make it even more so.

I really really hate myself now, I think I wanst able to really get the best of my trip to SG this year.
was super tired and i didnt meet people i wanted to meet, wasnt able to get myself a saber toy (gift version and lion nendoroid) and I just felt so drained.
i think im getting old.... or maybe my hands were just to full....
/sigh

also, i do not know what is up with me but lately ive been growing more and more shy, am not usually like this. im losing my confidence i think...
I wasnt able to meet a lot of the people I wanted to meet coz I was always looking for someone to introduce me instead of having the courage to come up and say hi by myself. >_<
then there's people who i already met in the past years... it just makes me feel awkward and embarrassed to be all like "hey remember me? we met last year" only to be responded to with a "did we? am sorry, what is your name again?"

petty concerns, petty petty petty >_<

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
back to FB, I want to add people in FB but I fear that they wont accept my friend requests and even if they do, would we be able to connect since I wasnt really that memorable or brave during the days of AFA... so theres nothing really to work with...

mainly, i just stuck with friends who i was really comfortable with and wasnt able to establish new bonds and make stronger ones from those that were already existing...
am so sorry guys!
im becoming old, tired, boring and shy...

what is happening to me?! oTL

wast even able to have shoots or anything too, only cosplayed one day out of all 4 days we were in SG.
/sigh
guess, I was just too tired even though i had 3 costumes with me >_<

dont get me wrong, I really loved seeing old friends, being in SG, AFA and being a part of it in more ways than one.

it's just that... I wished I could have made the most of the trip, its not everyday one is in Singapore, and it is a very fine city (hey! i made a pun! hehehe)

again with the personal disappoints, yuu. petty petty petty >_<

ANYWAY, MANY THANKS TO EVERY ONE WHO MADE MY SINGAPORE TRIP MEMORABLE THIS YEAR!

Yah-hoooooooooo!
hello everyone!
it has been ages, yes?

it's raining right now as there is a typhoon in the Philippines.
i hope it doesnt get too bad as I dont want it to escalate and be proclaimed as a national calamity or something...
also...
I am going to Cebu! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
my first trip to cebu! yayay!
looking forward to bonding with friends and meeting new ones in Cebu.
cosplayers in cebu are just so stellar!
will be thar oct 26 to 28 only though... excited to experinece a con in cebu, will be in archcon on the 27th!
the rain is making it hard to finish what I have to do
and I still havent packed yet hahahahaha me and need to be at the airport @ 2:30am later.
so....
i have to finish a commission and send it out TODAY before going to the airport.
pack
prepare my princess emeraude costume
prepare my sarutobi ayame costume
make sacchan's breastplate





now, AFA!
YES! i am going again this year! hahahahaha will be in SG nov 9 to 13

still havent decided what costumes to bring...

originally planned on making a new costume which is Origami Cyclone but im having problems.
my team is really busy and we are having some troubles in the planning stage.
Im part of Team M.A.R.C.H. btw and we make costumes and compete from time to time,
find out more by liking our page: www.facebook.com/MarchPhilippi…
thanks!
that and the rain is making it hard to make costumes (makes us all lazy and emulsion and painting job is a pain with rainy weather) so for now, I have to scratch Origami Cyclone.
would have been awesome to photobomb people in AFA and they can do nothing about it as I am Origami Cyclone, oh Ivan, I love you hahahahaha

so now, I will definitely bring my Saber Gift version
but have to work on a new Excalibur as my 2nd one was rushed (yes, i keep remaking or modifying costumes when I am not happy with how it looks)
hope i dont get problems with luggage with all my armor and sword hahahahaha
will be saber for day 1 of afa.

for day 2, still nothing....
either:
princess serenity - but the gown is really poofy... luggage space is kinda valuable... and I dont want to leave my wings behind (wings are 4ft tall)... so this is 50/50
konata izumi in otaku mode -maximum comfort and I've always wanted photos of Konata in a convention hehehehe otaku much? hehehe
tachibana ginchiyo - just so proud of this costume and I honestly want to show it off but I cant leave the sword behind but I think extra luggage fees will kill me... plus, my hansamu friend will be bringing his Mitsunari, viva koei warriors! hahahaha but yeah... saber is already bulky enough hmmmmm
saber zero or her black suit outfit - again comfort plus I already have the sword with me...
tomoe mami in casual - i hope my madoka would agree to my proposal though hehehehe but this one seems vague

so many plans... so little luggage space hahahahaha XD and i really want to get the most of AFA and be comfy enough to support Adventure Team and all the others representing their countries
but definitely 1 cos is saber gift XD

anyone want to help me decide?
also, SG is a great place to shoot (what permits?) with spectacular views and great food and people so I want to make the most out of this trip.

dont have shoot plans yet, though hahahaha
am too shy to ask photog friends in SG XDDDD

so i can only bring 2 bulky costumes or 1 bulky + 2 light ones. XD gaaaaaaaaa
decisions decisions hahahahah

but really, i am having a hard time oTL
need space for my clothes, make up and personal stuff XD

will be staying with thanks so much man!

i look forward to seeing friends in SG, lets exchange coscards and have dinner pls! all of us!
one long and noisy dinner hahahaha!

i dont want to leave SG with out a saber toy and uhu glue and hugs from yeh beautifuru people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also, i shall be hunting my bb ami as I plan to propose marriage to her and hopefully be wed the same day too. hehehe

On Aug 19, 2012
Cosplay Network Philippines will showcase FANTASY QUEST 2 which will be held in Fernwood Gardens.

The place is glorious, perfect for those hard to book (not to mention very expensive) fancy schmancy cosplay shoots all (or most) of us who have been dying to get places like these for.

The venue is oozing with elegance. There is a lovely spiral stair case, charming gardens, a delightful koi pond with swans and more!
What do i mean by "and more" you ask?
just check their website and see what is in store: www.fernwoodgarden.com/

if the place wasn't enough to make you go, we have special guests, too!
one of them is from Singapore!~ yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
more to be announced, just to tease you hehehehe

Team Verdana:     presents our Event package to those who are interested to come.
(dang it, i dun has a premium account so i dun has the power to post pics in my journal, so sorry /sniff sniff)
