Also celebrated last November 9 was mine and Kai's 3RD ANNIVERSARY! Unlike previous years, we didn't meet to celebrate with a glamorous lunch or dinner to save money and pave the way to attend the upcoming convention: UP AME Monogatari that pushed through yesterday. Instead, we met the day after for a budget lunch at KFC, then spent the rest of the day at her house. I slept over due to plans of going to have our driver's licenses renewed to take advantage of my no class day.
Now more about the convention. Not a lot of pictures for sure, but a lot of interesting events, cosplayers seen and unexpected people spotted. For once, Kai and I did characters from different anime: Kai as Ayuzawa Misaki from Maid-sama, and myself as Ootori Kyouya from Ouran High School Host Club. Thankfully, not a lot of people came up and asked for a picture but there were still that handful of fangirls who did.
Of course, as fellow fans of anime and games, we also had pictures taken with several interesting cosplayers, including a Godot and Miles Edgeworth from the Phoenix Wright series and an Undertaker from Kuroshitsuji: Ciel in Wonderland. Other pictures included me being dragged into a group picture with fellow Ouran cosplayers where I had to shift to be a Fujioka Haruhi in a heartbeat since there was already a Kyouya. Hahaha.
Overall, it was tiring but a fun time since we found some interesting company and finds, including a cat hat (>w<) for Kai for her birthday, an interesting bell collar chained to a wristband (that we used to help her not get lost), a live-action Ouran drama DVD, several photocards of Tenimyu actors and a Sebastian mobile strap. Thanks to some connections I managed to find us a ride over to the general area (thanks again Keiko!) after halfway commuting. In essence it was a good experience but we're hoping that things relocate to a place closer to home.
And now, back to reality, back to school, back to some seriousness. Thesis and readings here we come.

最終変更。（さいしゅうけんこう）Saishuu Henkou. trans. Last Minute Changes.
--Apology to a few of our friends expecting us/hoping to surprise us there at the venue! There'll be other events for sure!
I drove this time around and had to get directions from my mom how to go here and there. I picked up Kai from Greenhills along the way so it's experience points for me hahaha!! So yeah, we went to Eastwood instead to watch Toy Story 3!!!!!
We hung around the 'old' Eastwood area (CitiWalk if you will) and had snacks at Dairy Queen and caught the 5:40 showing, then had dinner at Teriyaki Boy. Ah the craving for sushi. ~u~
And then pictures to celebrate the evening before I finally took Kai home. Lost opportunities came along, but all the same, we enjoyed things because we had each other to spend time with.

The world of cosplay or costume play is, no doubt, becoming more of a trend with the emergence of more conventions here in the Philippines, if not the whole world over. It's quite thrilling to see Japanese anime have this effect on people, actually.
On a personal level, I've got the chance to get involved and attend some conventions in costume, so it was always a fun experience.
Here's a breakdown of my cosplay adventures. The first costume I donned to a convention was back during the ToyCon held last June 14, 2008, when I costripped (cosplaying for fun without intention of entering the competition) as Hinasaki Mafuyu from Fatal Frame. Above is the picture I got with the pinoy version of Hard Gay. 8D
A few months after, I teamed up with my good friend Mica and decided to attend the Lights Out Yaoi Con held last September 6, 2008. I cosplayed Ootori Kyouya from Ouran High School Host Club while Mica did Tamaki.
A month later, I attended the UP AME Harujaku scheduled November 8, 2008 as Tezuka Kunimitsu from the Prince of Tennis alongside my girlfriend Kai who did Fuji. Perfect Pair for the win!
The next convention where I costripped with Kai was during the succeeding AME, UP AME no Jidai held last November 28, 2009 where I reprised my role as Ootori Kyouya while Kai was Haruhi.
To finish off the year, Kai and I attended the Cyberzone Cosplay Tour in SM Marikina last December 19, 2009. I did Ootori Choutarou from the Prince of Tennis while Kai did Shishido. Yei Silver Pair~
For this year's AME, or any convention in the latter half of the year (depending when the costumes are done), Kai and I have a new series in mind to cosplay. So you'll be sure to enjoy that. ^________________^ Until then, no spoilers yet.
