Dream: Cosplaying

I have dreamt about cosplaying since I've been in my first year of high school. But blahh-- I don't wanna reminisce that much. Long story short, cosplaying for me was just a mere dream, like a fish wanting to step out of the ocean.
A few months ago, a grandfather of mine gave us extra money. He's been giving us money whenever he can. I heard my aunt talk about him before. He wanted to help since I don't have parents to ask for stuffs. To be honest, I want a job right now so I can at least help lessen the expenses of my family, and of course, help myself.

Cosplaying costs a lot of money and effort, and it's a bit hard to balance the incidentals between school and hobbies. So what do I do? I sacrifice.

When I realized that I had enough money to buy my very own wig, I turned to an online cosplay shop and searched for people selling wigs online. And luckily, I found the perfect one <3 div="">


The length of the wig reaches my butt. XD Anyway, I have loved it since then. I got Shiro's wig from the anime No Game No Life (I recommend you to watch it if you haven't) and of course, what's cosplay without the costume? 
Days had passed and I found the perfect MTO shop online and decided to have mine made. It didn't take the shop long before they made my costume and I was glad. The owner's friendly and I was sure to order from them once again.
I was almost there. All I needed was a skill in make-up. As you can see, I sucked. XD

Days turned to weeks, I was wondering when I'll ever use this costume. Then I scrolled through my timeline and Facebook and read posts about a cosplay event happening at the nearest Robinson's Place so I said, why not? 
Well, to be honest, I was REALLY REALLY shy to just go out there with a costume, so I went in casual wear, with my costume in my bag just in case I changed my mind.
The event was amazing. I had my friends come with me and we had the most wonderful time. I was pretty shocked when a lot of people came to me and asked if they can take a picture with me, because really, I'm just a potato standing in the corner with a costume on. But to be honest, it felt great.
I had regrets after though. I NEVER TOOK A SINGLE PIC. I had my phone with me the whole time and I never took a pic, not even once. Wanna know what I did? I searched all over Facebook, searching for people who might have went to the event and had some pics taken, and luckily, I found these.

I remembered what was going on in my head while that picture was being taken. 
"How do I smile?"
"What pose"
"What do I do"
"What am I doing"

And a whole lot more. Apologies but this is my first time cosplaying.

And eventually, I think I improved.

Moving on!

Months have passed and I got enough savings to buy yet another one! After a few resolutions on who to cosplay, I have decided to cosplay Taiga Aisaka from ToraDora!
I bought the wig first, and it took me a month to complete the set. Christmas break arrived and I was pretty low on budget, but I believed it was worth the wait.


Here I am now. 

Cosplaying, which was an impossible dream for me, became possible, and now there's nothing that can stop me from continuing. <3 p="">

Choose: My Happiness or Yours?

We can’t deny that we’ve all been through this rough decision. You wanna go home but your friends want you to stay? You wanna buy your favorite shoes but your mom insists that the shoes she picked was better? You wanna be a teacher but your parents wants you to be an engineer? Those are just some of the hard decisions to think over. Whether you’ll go for what you want but the other side gets disappointed or you follow the wants of others and you just have to bear with it.  But to think of it, sometimes you have to fight for yourself. I mean, yes, you want to make them happy, but what about you? Are you gonna be happy? Yes, sometimes you have to think about others before yourself but it doesn't mean you have to do it all the time...because sometimes, people can abuse you for that. Would you want that? Definitely not. But then the thought that you're risking something over your happiness might come into mind. Take for example, your friendship. Yes, they

Maybe Life Isn't As Bad As You Think It Is

We all think that life is a challenge. An RP game that we are all a part of. We go through things that we think are our last challenge because we're just gonna pause it right there and not even think of a way to get over it. And now you're stuck at looking at a flat wall, and it's staring back at you. A tough life, that's what we all have. We have problems that we think will never arrive at our doorstep, but it did. When something goes wrong, we think that we rode the wrong train and there's no turning back. But maybe that's just how it's supposed to be. We've focused enough on the normal things that we didn't even wonder what's behind a mountain. We think that we're safe if we do things normally, and by doing things the normal way, there's nothing that can waver the norms. When we look at people smiling and laughing, we wish that our life will turn out to be like theirs, and we're not even thinking that maybe they have their own

If You Have Thoughts About Suicide (Like Me)

If you have been crying in your room all night wishing to end everything, If you have been waking up thinking if you can make it through today, If your thoughts are louder than the sound of your friends pounding and endlessly knocking on your door begging you to open up, If you have ever faked your smiles and your "i'm okay's" so you don't end up crying while telling someone how you really feel, If you have ever felt like a burden to anyone that you think the best way is to disappear, and If you've ever felt too much that you need to feel something burning on your skin to remind you that you are alive, you are not alone. I thought I was going to be okay. I was healing. I was meeting with my psychiatrist once every month. I buy my medicines every week and take them regularly and on time. I was on track. I was going to be okay. Or so I thought. My family does not understand "depression" and "anxiety". They don't understand w
