When was the last time I blogged about an anime/cosplay convention..? Aside from TashaCon (which I only blogged about because TASHA), I honestly don't remember! Because I've been part of the local cosplay community for so long (I started going to cons in 2007), I kind of lost interest over time. I used to take a lot of photos before, but now I don't even bring my cameras to cons. But ever since Kawaii in Manila 2, I found the urge to attend cons again, mostly because of all the new friends I met. And so, we went to SM MoA last weekend for Best of Anime. I had a lot of fun, surprisingly! The event hall had a "No Ticket, No Entry" policy, so there weren't that many people.. which was a good thing, because one of the things I hate about local cons are the crowds ;; Being able to move around inside the event area without getting hit by anything was a nice change of pace, haha. Also saw a lot of friends I haven't seen in ages. Fun, fun. Because our main reason for going was to see heidi. perform, I only brought my phone with me, so my event photos are mostly selfies with friends, ehe.

A quick recap: mandatory kuro-shiro photo with Aian before leaving · selfie while in traffic · saw Xandra and her super pretty monochrome coord · there was SO MUCH SPACE inside the hall I felt like doing cartwheels · saw cutiepie Chibi-tan ♥ · dropped by Denise and Eru's sports anime hell booth · took photos of the pretty ManikaManila booth and all the pretty dorries · met Eri-san and Sachie-san, the two lovely ladies behind Canmake PH · finally got to meet Kristin, one-half of Elle Poupee ♥ · remembered to take a photo with Aian during the con.. only he wasn't looking at the camera lol · heidi. was super awesome live.. our first ever visual kei live..!! · our friend Henry caught Kiri's drumstick for me omg · met this pretty Nechi outside the hall before we left· feet hurt so bad after the live, but at least my shoes were pretty · all of the presents I received that day - Elle Poupee Totoro shirt, Kiri's drumstick, TonyTony Chopper babies from Aian.. thank you so much ♥

Hi everyone! I finally found time to sit down and write about my #KawaiiInManila2 experience. The reason why I took so long was because I didn't have any photos to show! I got so busy taking streetsnaps (and talking to friends and blog readers in between) that I completely forgot to take photos of the event itself! (Luckily some of my photographer friends were able to take photos, so I asked for some for my blog, haha. Thanks again!!) But better late than never, right? More under the cut!

Not a lot of interesting things so I didn't blog as much, but I was active on Instagram as always. Here's a quick recap!

Slowly turning into a cat lady • tried Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen's Ajitama Tonkotsu.. so good • posed for Dr. Sketchy's PH with Aian • had burgers for lunch one lazy day • spent most of my Sundays out with family • having goto for breakfast became a thing • met up with our cool friend Xandra • dug up Aian's old, untranslated Rurouni Kenshin manga in time for the second movie • finally had isaw after so long • went out to run errands and died because of the humidity • checked out the RuroKen mini-exhibit at Glorietta • went to the Spiral Cats Meet and Greet event and met Tasha (!!!) • spotted a copy of Stuppy at one of the booths at the con (and begged Aian to buy it) • Mimi turned 5 months old.. kitties grow up so fast • watched Kyoto Inferno and died because of the awesome • had milk tea and takoyaki, nom • went to Aian's parents' place and saw SO MANY KITTIES • but, as I thought, nothing beats coming home to your favorite kitty in the world • attended a mini-workshop by Heroine Make • more Mimi, more food, and even more Mimi.

As you can see, my Instagram is pretty much a mix of my face, food, and cats. (Also, wao, do you see how much crap I stuff my face with? I can't help it though.. I'm the type who values taste over nutritional value orz) I really need something new to do to break the monotony, like a new hobby. But, as expected, real life is hard, huh. The good news is, it's already September! Just a little more until December. Can't wait to go back to KL~! Comic Fiestaaa 2014~!! (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ But first, Kawaii in Manila 2!! It's finally happening tomorrow!! Are you readyyy~? I'll be there the whole day. See you all there~!☆
