Hello everyone ! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Taking a break from my college assignments to continue writing about my trip to Philippines for Ozine Fest 2014 earlier this year . * plays LoveLive songs while blogging hehe *

Do you guys know that I love to travel a lot ? Especially for conventions because I enjoy meeting people and cosplayers from another country !. It's surreal being able to experience all these and I'm very grateful for each and every opportunity that I've gotten so far ! Thank you for all your support ! ヽ(´□｀。)ﾉ

I will try my best to share more about my sweet memories and my travels with you guys here in my blog ~  I have three more events this month and I'll definitely blog bout it ! 

Saturday. Ozine Fest .

I have my #spy Princess Hermes walking around to take photos on my behalf during the event !

She's my eyes and ears . lol

According to Princess Hermes , there are lots of people in the event hall ! You can see from the pictures how packed the event is ~ There's an on-going cosplay competition and I heard that there's more than 200 ++ participants ? Gosh , I wish that I can witness all the lovely skits !

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 : 11 a.m

We took a short nap , showered and dolled up for lunch !

Guess what's our first meal in Manila.

*drum rolls *

JOLIBEEEEEEEEEE !!

Jolibee Brunch with the beautiful Korean guest cosplayers , YannByul , Aza and JDoll !

Guess what again ?

YannByul can speak a little English ! 

+ She loves Rilakkuma !! ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿

First stop !

Manila Ocean Park !

I've been to the one in Hong Kong , so I was pretty excited for this too !

It's very sunny and hot here in Manila , but not humid like in Malaysia. So it pretty good weather !

Thank you so much Ozine Team for this wonderful sight-seeing experience !!

Bryan and JP  ~ I think they didn't get much sleep from setting up for the event and all but much thanks for spending time to bring us around Manila for sight-seeing ! Appreciate it lots !

ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ

Reminds me of ... the ikan pari panggang in Malaysia lol.

* hungry *

Highlights of the Manila Ocean Park trip ~

WE GET TO FEED EM PENGUINS !!

Actually , I'm scared that the penguin would peck off my finger thinking that it's fish but .. I'M SAFE . The penguins are adorbs !!

Group pictures with the penguins !

P/s : Aza looooooovessss Penguins a lot. You'll know what to get her next time !

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

DAY 1 : 7.00 p.m

Get to visit the event hall for Ozine Fest 2014 !

All the booths were setting up , there were lots of booths and I can't wait to check it out !

* makes an excited face *

This is the part when I say - SEE YOU TOMORROW @ OZINE FEST , PHILIPPINES !

=======================================================================

DAY 2 

Ta-da ~ ! Transformed into my cosplay from Danganronpa , Junko Enoshima !

It's my final round of Junko already , cosplayed her in Malaysia , Singapore as well as Indonesia ~ it's time to retire this costume. Make way for new ones !

I ... only have sweaters and shorts.

Meet and Greet !

We had meet and greet whole day ~ it's really nice meeting people who like my cosplays in Philippines for the first time ! Of course , I was a little bit nervous but everyone here is so friendly !

Thanks for coming to the meet and greet !

I know that everyone queued for a long time , waited too for us !

Thank you very much , we are very happy to see you ! (´；Д；｀)

DAY 2 : 7.00 p.m

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 !

（。ˇ ⊖ˇ）♡

With lots of Kancolle T Shirts too !

I hope that they make Haruna Shirts too.
