It all started with my deviantart page, [link] wherein my first submissions were artworks related to anime and videogames, until I gradually added in some cosplay photos and photos I took of my figurine collection. Since I'm currently active in the cosplay community here in our country, my journal entries often tend to lean on reporting about those events.
Okay, just a brief overview on my history as a cosplayer. I started cosplaying at the age of 15 by joining competitions here in the Philippines and fortunately winning awards in those events. When I turned 18, I've been getting invited as a guest judge to several cosplay competitions once in a while, which means I am prohibited from joining the competitions, right? But that doesn't really stop me from cosplaying. Occassionally, my friends and I hold cosplay photoshoots. We invite photographers, spectators, fellow cosplayers and anyone who could lend a hand. We try to share the love of cosplaying not just during the shoots or events here in our community but also online, from posting artworks to posting out-takes and reporting about the happening.
As for collecting figures, I've been into it for 1 and half years now and one of the people that inspired me to start my collection was Danny. Before collecting, I just used to browse through photos and reviews of figures online. After some time I finally received one as a gift and eventually they multiplied. After almost a year of collecting, I also delved into photography and started taking photos of my figure collection.

Guys? Who's interested with Cosplay?
Gosh! God, thank you for giving me good instincts. If it weren't for that, I would really go on a binggo for that subject. LoL... LESSON LEARNED: BE VIGILLANT ALWAYS. STUDY! STUDY! I have this feeling, everything would be harder starting from day on.(well, I surely hope not, but if it does, I hope I could bear it.) AJA!
He's present today, he attended his class I guess, but I haven't seen him. HATE it! <3 I miss chubby boy.

Well, I’ve really learned about few important things lately and Naruto did taught me a lot of it; things, which I couldn’t learn at school or at home. Naruto, had inspired me to reconnect my bonds with those I’ve hurt, and to face fear and hatred within the limit of my bounds to become better, not in terms of brains, but in soul. It is definitely my most loved anime. The anime of life. Good story. Beautiful life lessons, which coud really make you stop for a while and think.
Ikaw? Do you really know what true pain really feels like? =)
If you do, then I would really like to know. My part had been shared, now its your turn.
HAPPY BLOGGING GUYS! I'M REALLY ENJOYING THIS.
P.S. been seating na pala for almost 3 and a half hours! WEW! now... that's something, time really run fast... ginugutom na talaga ak...its past 6 na! guess, I really have to take dinner na... and reconnect my bond with my food... (YUM!)
NEXT ATTRACTION(movie? lol.kidding)ahemmm...
MY TOP 10 REASONS WHY I LOVE HIM <3 (secreto lang sana, kaso marami naman may alam, so better off blog it na lang...(bangin naman la, echus la...balit..hahaha) this is the suggestion of Sir Vinyl, so no harm will be done, so if ever(I know you know who you are) you've accidentally run on this page(Blog) don't overact... ;) di kita hahabulin... and its definitely out of my league. It would just be a drag. (haha...sniffs...pag nabasa to' ng nanay ko, ako talaga ang madradrag papalabas ng school,) so CHILL.. 'watashi wa anata ga suki desu'(remember?)hahahaha... Joke la ad2 nga part. But if I would really about to mean that joke, then I would like to share it with you... =)
There comes a time in a man's life when he has to grow up, and regardless of when and how, the best time is always now. And no matter how much it hurts, no matter how angry you're beat up deep inside it is never a good idea to shut people out, because you always end up shutting yourself in.
A lot of people live half alive, and half a lie.
It's so easy to hide you true self in the world, to hide behind your mask, to talk without really speaking, to hear without actually listening and to live and not be alive. Too many of us are scared of the world and what it may think of us. That if we smile, we're still weak. That if we laugh, we become foolish and that happiness always end up in hurt.
But that is of course, until he came and from one shining moment it all became graciously simple, and I have learned to live and love again and yet now more than ever i realized that I can never truly love someone without releasing the ghost of my past, the story behind this mask. I always believed that true love only comes once in a lifetime, so we must take it as it comes along and enjoy every bit of it, for it might never come again. People often ask what the best way to love is. After considering everything that comes with love, I think it is safe to say that the best way to love is to love like a child: pure, innocent and without hesitation. As joe d' mango defines...
Love isn’t when you can’t sleep … it’s when you want to keep your eyes open…
Love isn’t when you keep holding on … it’s when you learn to let go …
Love isn’t when you kill yourself with jealousy … it’s when you understand …
Love isn't when you fall for someone … it’s when you catch that person when he/she falls…
Love isn’t when you see him/her everywhere … it’s when you close your eyes and he/she is still there …
And Love isn’t when you think you were blind … it’s when you know he/she was wrong but you didn’t mind!
