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="">

Don't Take Love Away

If you know someone who has a girlfriend and if you're planning to flirt with the man, I'm gonna have to ask you to read this post until the end. This will be short. Whenever I'm outside, in a classroom, or in a cafe, I have heard conversations about a girl crushing on a guy who already have a girlfriend, and what I heard we're pretty bad. Their plans would either be: wait til they break up (adding "walang forever" / "there's no forever") flirt steal the guy herself Why? Why do you have to go through all that process on stealing someone's love? Why do you have to be selfish? Do you think about the consequences? Have you ever thought that you will ruin someone's view about love? How can you live thinking that you got what you want, but there is someone out there crying at night thinking why they WEREN'T ENOUGH. If it sounds as if I've been through that kind of pain... then yes, I have, and I still am going through ...

The Original Plan

The original plan? I'm supposed to study in my family's dream university... University of the Philippines.   But then I chose West Visayas State University because my desired course is there, and now, I am indeed happy of my decision. I told my family before that I'll just try WVSU at first then transfer to UP when I get to my second year in college... I guess I'll abort that mission. My original plan before I started my college life is to remain invisible...to be just another person in the corner eating burgers or whatnot, just another person passing by for a year because I'm not supposed to be there after a year anyway. But then I met these people that made me forget about my disposition. I see them everyday and it makes me tell myself that "there it is, here's that something that's too hard to leave behind." Friends, they're already my family. I hang-out with them everyday, I see them tease and annoy each other at times, we la...

Goodnight.

It's almost 2am and my mind is filled with reasons why I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep ... because when you've said your last "goodnight" for today, I wondered if you'll ever need me for the next couple of hours. What if you couldn't sleep, or have been woken up from a nightmare, and I wouldn't be there to tell you that everything's going to be alright? Tell me what's bothering you at 3am and I will talk to you until you fall asleep. And by then I'll bid you Goodnight. I couldn't sleep ... because when I look at the ceiling, I'd wish that by the time I look beside me, I can see you, and not this pillow missing the warmth of your skin. And maybe by then we wouldn't need to have our phone in our hands, because I would intertwine your fingers with mine, and they'd fit perfectly, almost as if it's meant to be. And we'll look at each other's eyes Not on our phones Because we wouldn't have ...
