Japanese Culture Festival at UP AME Monogatari

November 12, 2011 -the UP AME Monogatari was held in World Trade Center, Pasay City. What was most impressive about it is that it implied the 'spirit festival' theme (I'm not sure what it is formally called ^_^). It was focused not only on cosplay and anime, but also on Japanese culture. It took me to what seemed like an immersion in Japan.
The ticket! Love the graphics! :)

There are epic stories like this at the entrance hall. Cool!
 There were Japanese Kimono on display. Other than that, they had booths depicting a Shinto Shrine where one could make a wish. And wow! There was also a zen garden!




If I were to choose the best booth, it would be the Spirit Cafe. It reminded me of the anime Spirited Away. Some con-goers visited it. 


And now for the most awaited part! Here are the photos of the cosplayers from the event. The East Pavillion of WTC was so packed that it was hard to get a decent shot.

*Drum Roll* My favorite cosplayer of the day is.....(*Drum Roll*) this guy cosplaying Sasuke from Naruto Shippuden! The costume is very accurate and detailed. On top of that, he also embodied Sasuke's mysterious character well.He got the formula for the perfect Sasuke cosplay!

UP AME had a successful event! I learned a lot on Japanese culture. The venue was perfect for it too. Congratulations guys! I can say that this is one of the best anime conventions I have attended this year!

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead.  I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore  2019 planner!  The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did!  Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included!  He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench .  Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

[Review] Gluta-C Intense Whitening Body Scrub

Gluta-C Intense Whitening Body Scrub is a product that impressed me on my first try. Mostly, when I review beauty products, I use it at least a week to see the effects and results on my skin. I never thought that a body scrub can make me go "wow!" instantly! I got this from my Gluta-C Sample Room haul . And I used it the day after I got it. I was that excited!  This product is packaged in a tub. It is a soft, viscous, and grainy cream. The smell is nice, too! It has a cool perfume scent.  120g tub of Gluta-C Body Scrub This is how I used this: I wet my skin and then took an ample amount of the scrub and then applied it using circular motions. Afterwards, I put liquid body wash on a loofah then rubbed on my skin. I could feel the small grains from the scrub gently exfoliating my skin. I love the combination it does with the body wash. The bubbles and the foam make it comfortable! All the while, I know that my skin is thoroughly cleansed!  Here is the surprise!
