Otaku Expo 2013 Day 2

The Otaku Expo 2013, which happened first on January 2013, has been continued last weekend (August 17-18, 2013). It was held in SM Megamall Megatrade Hall 3. I had the chance to drop by the event and take pictures of cosplayers. 


I didn't cosplay for this event because I am preparing for next week. I was just your ordinary con goer/blogger gracing Otaku Expo 2013. It was so much fun to see the surprised reaction of people who didn't recognize me! So does this make me a master of disguise then? Wheee~~~

From left: Cosplayer Reeve and me (in human mode. LOL)
I roamed around the venue and found some nice swag! I bought three Assassin's Creed stickers and a Sakura Haruno printed bag tag. I also commissioned the artist Jade Ong to draw for me a chibi version of Rain! It's so cute! I can feel that this is the start of more Rain chibis in the future! LOL! 

My Otaku Expo stuff.
While going around, I also took  pictures of cosplayers who still went despite the threat of wind and rainfall. It is hard to travel whenever it rains, and these people trekked through the storm bringing along costumes and makeup!

Cosplayer Ryuga Hououji


Cosplayer Ianah 


Cosplayer Xtian Mack of arcadymac.com as Anbu from Naruto Shippuden

Cosplayer Myk Castillo as Green Arrow.














Cosplayer Arvin Clavo








Cosplayer Shaoron Tan as Naruto 









Cosplayer Florenz Sumalinog



Cosplayer Raphaelle Veronica Ortega as Ezio of Assassin's Creed


Hunter X Hunter group cosplay









 My favorite cosplayer of the day is Jerome Velarde as Hisoka of Hunter X Hunter. Though a villain, Hisoka is my favorite character from the anime series. Jerome portrayed him well! Look at the wig, the costume... everything from head to foot is accurate! Lastly, the pose and the eyes! That is how Hisoka does it!

Lots of cosplayers and con goers attended the event. So I can say that this Otaku Expo is a success. That just proves that nothing can stop otakus from celebrating the craft we all love, not even wind and rain.

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

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
