Ozine Fest Philippines 2014 Day 1 + Day 2

Hello my lovelies ! ( ̄(エ) ̄)ノ

* wipes off all the spider web on my blog lol *

How have you been ?
I'm am very busy nowadays because I'm finally graduating soon ! 3 years for my diploma in Fashion Design seems a looooong time , and after many years of rushing assignments and sleepless nights ... I'll be graduating this August ! * throws confetti *

Of course I'm planning to go for a degree too !
I love art , design and making clothes very much. I thought going through college would make me dislike sewing but I grew to love it more and more ~ also I took up Japanese lessons and yesterday I passed my Beginner 2 level with Grade A ! With all my crazy schedule , I'm glad that I find some time for my Japanese classes , it's really fun ! (´∀`)♡

Anyways , back to my blog post for today ! Last month , I'm lucky to be invited to Philippines as guest cosplayer for Ozine Fest 2014 @ Manila ! It's my first time visiting Philippines , so happy that cosplay has brought me to many beautiful places and getting to know more people who shares the same interest ! (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧

DAY 1 : 6.00 am

This time , I was travelling with my princess Hermes to Philippines ! It's our second trip overseas together , so it was like an ultimate bonding / friendship experience. 

It's really fun travelling with Hermes because she is a very funny person. It's like I'm laughing everyday with her with me. That feeling lol.

We safely arrived Manila around 5.30 a.m  but I think we look like ghosts.

Because I planned to doll up and wash my hair , blow it nicely for my flight. Unfortunately , something happened ( looks at Hermes ) . So I don't even have time to make up or do my hair nicely.

Hermes don't have time to wash her hair too. LOL.

The hotel that we were staying for 5 days had really yummy breakfast ! We look forward towards breakfast everyday. Really nice eggs and sausages.

... and freshly squeezed orange juice.

A great way to begin our day !

DAY 1 : 5.30 p.m

Bryan and JP brought us to the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Manila !
Such amazing and gorgeous architecture ! Hermes and I were like in aweeeee.

But we got there too late so it was closed.
Maybe one day we can get to see what's inside too.

It's so huge and beautiful that my camera couldn't capture the whole cathedral. These photos doesn't do her justice ~ !  (ノ≧∀≦)ノ

After the meet and greet , I had a little break before dinner so I went out to check out the booths ! First booth that caught my eyes is the Tomodachi T-Shirt booth from Thailand ! ( I've seen someone wearing the Sonico shirt during the meet and greet so I got curious and asked where did he get it lol )

THAT SONICO T SHIRT IS GORGEOUSSSS !!
Unfortunately by the time I get it , only size L is left orz.

But still , I like it a lot so I bought it anyways !

ANIMAX Carnival Malaysia 2014

DSC_2714-Edit


Hello Everyone !

ANIMAX Carnival Malaysia is my first event as a cosplay guest for this year ! Always a pleasure to be working with ANIMAX ~ my first experience was Hong Kong Halloween Treats back in 2011 and it was really fun to be able to visit Hong Kong during Halloween month !

This time I'm invited as one of the cosplay guest judges alongside Arisa Chow , Yuki Godbless and Jiaki Darkness from Thailand. I'm cosplaying as Uka-sama from Inari KonKon Koi Iroha with Arisa as my Inari ! It's my first time meeting Yuki and Jiaki , they are well known for their amazing costumes - plus they are really friendly ! (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧

Arisa made Kon-chan to go with her Fushimi Inari cosplay too ! It is mad adorable !

ヽ(^Д^)ノ



DSC03802


This year's ANIMAX Carnival is bigger and better compared to the previous years !

It's held in MidValley Mega Mall Convention Centre , with lots of booths to keep their visitors entertained ! It was really packed and people starts queuing as early as 9 am ! Anime fans are super passionate people ~ ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ


DSC03805

Brand new season of Fairy Tail , my all time favorite !

Loving this quote by Lucy Heartfilia = " You have three choices , you can give up , give in or give it your all ! "

Go Fairy Tail Mages !!

ヽ(=^・ω・^=)丿

Inari KonKon Koi Iroha.

You must watch it if you want to know why I love it so much !

It's such a heart-warming anime , with great emphasis on relationships and friendships. Definitely one of my fav anime this year !


DSC03810


They even built a Dedication Booth for visitors to make wishes for their loved ones !

(❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*


DSC03812


So many wishes , I hope that all will come true !

I wrote down some wishes for my loved ones too. ( and for myself lol )

Hope that everyone will have good health and good fortune ! (❁´‿`❁)*✲゚*


DSC_2714-Edit

Did you know that Inari KonKon Koi Iroha is based on a real shrine in Kyoto , Japan ?

The whole setting of the anime is in the town where the " Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine " is. It's a collaboration between Shrine and the Kyoto City government , fully supported the making of this anime !

How lovely if I can visit the shrine Japan one day and bring along my Uka ! It would be a dream come true ! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

( Thanks guys for sharing the information about the shrine with me , appreciate it lots ! )

Whoaa- look at the crowd !!

It's always an honour to be invited as a guest cosplay judge ! I had a wonderful time watching the cosplay performances and everyone is so creative and came prepared. I really admire the amount of effort and craftsmanship they put into their costumes and props. Good job guys !

Congratulations to all the winners ! (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*

Special thanks to Soo Weai and Kenneth from KennTee Photography for dropping by with yummy donut and for snapping photos for me ! I'm so happy !

☆*✲゚*。(((´♡‿♡`+)))。*゚✲*☆

My Uka-sama costume roughly took one month to complete.

One of the costumes that I'm really happy with , besides my Queen Esther from Trinity Blood ! This costume has many layers - two layers of Gi , one hakama , an apron and a skirt with long train. The skirt is made detachable so it's easier for me to move around during breaks !

My favorite part of the costume is the skirt/train , with more than 70 ++ flowers , all handmade and hand-beaded with pearls and crystals ! It took me few days to make all the flowers but it's all worth it , I love how it looks as a whole ! (❁´‿`❁)*✲゚*



DSC03818

First episode of Inari Kon Kon Koi Iroha showing on the main stage !

One of my fav part of the anime is the OP and ED songs. The OP song is by May'N , my goddess ! The ED song is by Maaya Sakamoto , whose voice is equally awesome ~ (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Uka-sama's board ! (❁´‿`❁)*✲゚*

DSC_2717-Edit

Overall , it's another great and successful event by ANIMAX !

I loved the crowd very much , everyone is so passionate about anime and all the anime fans unite together in this lovely event ! Especially when everyone screams " ANIME DAISUKI ~~~ !!! " 

How much the Japanese anime/manga/cosplay culture have expanded throughout the years in Malaysia ~ I'm really happy that so many people are enjoying anime/manga/cosplay now ! Long live anime !! (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*

With Love,

Cosplay | Kyoukai no Kanata with Hermes


p-01475


Hello April !

Oh my , time really flies ~ a blink of an eye and it's April already ! Which marks the beginning of my final semester in college. Can't believe that it's my final year and final semester. Gosh , but there's long way to go . . . want to pursue my degree perhaps next year ? * smiles *

Today I want to dedicate this blog post to my dear princess , Miss Hermes. She's my bff ( safe to call her that since it's our 3rd year together lol ) and this is our first cosplay together ! I miss her like mad especially when she went to Japan for holiday recently. But she still spend time texting me at night which is so sweet. ;-; . Yes , you are very important lol happy now ?

Hermes used to cosplay a lot last time but now she's more to a fashion blogger so I'm really honoured when I managed to convince her to cosplay with me ! Kyoukai no Kanata is one of my fav anime last year ~ lot's of heart wrenching moments and I especially love the baka aniki x imouto moments ! I really like Mirai too , she's a special character I must say !

I'm really happy throughout the photoshoot even though Hermes keep telling me that her Mirai cosplay is not good but I think that she is very cute in my heart. May our friendship last for many more years to come , my Princess ! Thanks for always being there for me (❁´‿`❁)*✲゚*

It's just a very simple and short photo session with Blur from Naneee? Photography , but he can make such pretty photos ~ always a fan of his photography ! Though we don't have a school to shoot in , I really like how the photos feel very autumn-ish due to the trees ! ( which I kept telling Blur , I want the trees lolololol )

Thank you so much , Blur ! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ
