Finally found something!!

Yeah, I know it was stupid of me not to have searched on Youtube sooner but oh well, better late than never. here are some videos of Ichibanzai 2009!! It's a damn good thing they didn't tape the karaoke competition. It was a HORRIBLE experience for me!!

And booooo!!! I didn't get enough screen time!! Haha... I'm being a complete attention hog...

Ichibanzai 2009 Cosplay Competition Day 2

I epic failed Jingle Bells...

That IS such a blow to man's pride. I know I was playing on Oni (hardest) difficulty, but still, it's Jingle Bells!! How could I have, not just failed at clearing, but epic failed it!!?? Well, there goes any hope of me entering the Taiko competition (as if there were any from the start) if I attend GACC2009, IF I can attend.

Anyway, I bumped into Mechanical Frog at Bayan Bay last night. Kanojouwa aikawarazu nee... We managed to talk for somewhat less than 5 minutes and she had to leave or her ride would leave her. Well, that breaks the haven't-seen-her-in-months streak.

And today, I went to Gurney Plaza with Youngblood and Bunny. We had nothing to do there (as always) and just went gaming at the arcade. Sigh... the games there are getting boring. They really need to put Taiko there! That should keep me interested for at least a year.

And thanks for the gift, Bunny. Though I have no idea how I'm gonna hang it besides drilling a hole in the wall. Oh well, I'll figure something out... maybe.

Ichibanzai Aftermath

Ichibanzai 2009 has been over for nearly 2 weeks now. Besides the sudden tidiness of my room and a lack of things to do in the middle of the night, there have also been several other changes I've noticed.

After that rather successful Haseo cosplay, I've been motivated to pull of more. The problem is, I have only a little more than 2 months left here. There's a relatively famous convention in Ireland called Eirtakon, but there is a possiblity that I won't be able to attend it because:
1. Possibility of exam period
2. Highly priced entrance fee. (Even London Expo doesn't charge that much!)

Okay, so my next major cosplay will be Haru Glory from Rave. I intend to finish all ten swords. Refer here. And yes, I forgot to upload pictures of the other swords. I love making weapons.

But that will be at least 3 years later. For now, I'm accepting suggestions for simple cosplays that I can pack in my luggage to bring to Ireland. Current choices and suggestions received:

1. Hamrio Musica (I get to make the spear!)
2. Itoshiki Nozomu (It'll be a great way to relieve stress from the med programme)
3. Seiichiro Sano (Easy to pack, that's for sure.)
4. Ash Ketchum (REJECTED!!)
5. Germany (REJECTED!!)
6. Itsuki Koizumi (REJECTED!!) (I do not intend to smile all day!)
7. Yosuke Hanamura (REJECTED!!)
8. Sakai Yuuji (REJECTED!!) (Blutsauger is too huge to carry there)

Anyway, just keep pouring on the suggestions!

Hitsuzen...ka?

The plot twists are getting so insane in Tsubasa Chronicles that I've gone completely numb to them.

Turns out Real Syaoran's parents aren't the Cardcaptor Sakura pair after all. Actually, Real Syaoran's parents are Clone Syaoran and Clone Sakura. CLAMP sure loves meddling with time and space. Now they're throwing a temporal paradox at us where both the original and the clone has to exist for both to exist.

Basically the relationship between the two Syaorans is: Clone created from Original, Original is the son of Clone. Haha, another true example of hitsuzen. It's no wonder their fates intertwined so much.

But, I'm still not 100% sure if the Clones are not the Cadcaptor pair, because after they were reincarnated, Clone Sakura ended up in modern Japan and Clone Syaoran ended up in modern Hong Kong. If memory serves, that's where the Syaoran and Sakura from Cardcaptor come from. Of course, the clones did retain their memories, whereas in Cardcaptor, Syaoran and Sakura didn't know each other. But then the Clones also use the same sword and staff from Cardcaptor.

My head's spinning. Aight, that's all for today.

The Mum Song

Got this from my sis.



Nice job!

Just watched this after the Mum Song.



And this is a DS game!!??

I'm hooked and I might just do it.

Ever since I finished my Haseo cosplay, I can't help thinking of doing more!! That's it! I am so preparing something for Eirtakon in Ireland this November!

And once I get back, if I don't have many games to play and once I'm done remaking and repairing my Haseo cosplay and perhaps another cosplay, I'm gonna risk sexual harassment and get y'all's measurements so I can make cosplays for y'all!

I'm considering taking up sewing lessons (which I need anyway to improve on surgical skills) in August and continue practicing in Ireland till I can pull off some cosplays without professional help! And if I successfully do that, I'll have a second alternative for a career.

Of course, this is all based on momentary passion and may subside if I were to, say, fail to attend Eirtakon 2009. I need a map of Dublin to see where DCU isand how far it is from UCD!!

eh? eh? eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? EH? EH!!??

Huh? What? Eh? Nani? What the...? How the...? K-On! SAISHUUKAI (Final Episode)!!??

Just after they introduced Azusa, they're already ending the series with the next episode!? I thought it was gonna be a 26 episode series? How can there be only 12!?

No! No! No! No! Not enough! I haven't had enough! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
