Dressed up as a Scouting Legion member for our event last Sat, FanFest: Spring Nook 🌸

‘Was supposed to be Mikasa but wasn’t able to get a haircut and I was in a hurry already (I originally planned not to attend even though I spent days preparing the event… ‘cause I was in another town with my fam for the summer vacation but on the day of the event, I decided to be there to make sure that the event was running smoothly. I was getting a little worried.)

Anyway, I’ll try to redo this cosplay someday with the other props (which I actually have but was in Tac and had not much time anymore to prepare them). These days I really am not conscious anymore of looking great in cosplay as long as I am comfy and presentable I’m fine already with that. I’m into easy-to-wear cosplays now ‘cause my body is still not fit after pregnancy and juggling life with a baby/toddler is overwhelming enough already. Also since pregnancy, I’m not really into make ups anymore since it isn’t advised to wear make up during pregnancy. So I just got used to having my face bare now even during cosplays, just adding a lipstick. Also I have this goal to look okay even without much make up, like through natural ways nlang or “beauty from within the body” prioritizing to “feel good physically inside as it will just reflect on the outside” concept. But kudos to other moms who can already bounce back to doing cosplay again heavily. We all have different timelines. As for me, I don’t wanna pressure myself.

Little by little though, I’m starting to get interested in make up again especially that I got some acquaintances who needed help with their make up. It just brings back whatever stock knowledge I still have of make up. And still willing to learn more gradually.

In this event, I’m glad that Ate Mina’s kids were also cosplaying some Attack on Titan characters. 💚 I love it when parents are supportive of their child to participate in hobbies like this.

Until next time then! 🫡

I got to be Totoro AGAIN yesterday at Anime Volt In in SM Savemore Market Tacloban. Being almost 7mos postpartum, my body is still gradually getting back into shape so nowadays, when I cosplay I make sure it’s something that won’t stress my body. (No to tiis ganda! And that includes no heavy make up for a while. Hehe) I’m letting my other costumes be used by friends lang muna since I can’t wear them yet, especially if it’s for events like this na for our org. Anyway, I’m digging comfy easy-to-wear costumes. ☺️

I know I said I’m on hiatus from cosplaying but I still tried to dress up as some random Gryffindor lady for our event yesterday, Tacloban Fan Festival - FanFest at Robinsons North Tacloban. It was nice seeing otaku friends in Tacloban again. 💖

It’s been a while since I last attended an otaku event here. Got busy with pregnancy and postpartum in the past months. I wasn’t wearing any make up (except lipstick) which is unusual for me in events like this but it’s what I’m already used to recently in life. 😃

Kung Hei Fat Choi / Happy Chinese New Year! 🥢🐼 Here’s a throwback to my cosplay of Hu Tao! I’d love to cosplay her again someday (kung babagay pa haha)—if not, maybe a more mature Chinese/Liyue character.

Guess what? I actually believe in Chinese horoscopes a lot (or horoscopes in general, including the Western). 🤣 I’m meeting someone who’ll be born this year, in the year of the snake. 🐍 What do you think would be his personality? 🤭

Was invited to be one of the judges for the cosplay judges again in this year’s LNHS Nihongo Fiesta but have prior commitment (training with my mentee for a regional contest in another school) on the day so my hubby Nj Arts & Crafts will be taking my place. I’ve always loved attending this event! I’ll see if I can drop by either on Thurs and Fri. If not, do say hi to hubby if u guys are going as he feels shy to be there. 🤭

The wait is finally over! Today marks the FIRST DAY of the Nihongo Festival, and it’s time to dive into an unforgettable cultural experience! ✨ 👘Whether you’re a fan of Japanese traditions, food, or language, there’s something for everyone! 🌸🥢 Come explore the booths, enjoy performances, and discover the beauty of Japan in every corner. 😄 What are you waiting for? Don’t miss out on this incredible event – bring your friends and family and make lasting memories! 🎎 Let’s celebrate together! 💞

My Top 3 Fav Cosplay Photos 2024

I didn’t get to cosplay much this year even though I have many cosplay sets waiting for a proper photoshoot mainly because I:
1. Wanted to attend/host less cosplay events to minimize my presence and take a rest especially from all the drama that’s been going on early this year which stressed me out a lot 🧠
2. Was busy preparing for my wedding and other life events (e.g. DSPC/RSPC). 👰‍♀️
3. Got preggy so my costume sets don’t fit me anymore (I’ll wear them again when I get back into shape next year—that is, if I don’t sell them yet. Haha) 🤰

So I only got to do a few full set cosplays this year and I think these three are the best.

1st photo - Kafka from Honkai Star Rail (shot at Elite Café and Lounge - Tacloban City)
2nd photo - Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan (shot at Wild Wild Pigs)
3rd photo - Marcille Donato from Dungeon Meshi (shot at She's Amilia Café)

Thanks to my hubby Nj for these pics and for supporting me dedicatedly throughout this year. 😘
