Flores de Mayo 2012

Every year in May, i have been part of the Flores de Mayo Festivals of the Filipino Community in Cologne. This year, i graduated from these Festivals, making me the Reyna Elena (Queen Helena) of the Parade.

I loved my Dress, i felt all pretty and glamorous in it!

DoCoMi 2012

Outfit of that day.

It's been ages since i've been to an Anime Convention. The last one i went to was the Animagic 2008 and if i recall correctly i wasn't all that enthusiastic about it in the end. Now, 4 years later, i decided to go to the DoCoMi in Düsseldorf after dear Karo asked me if i want to go with her.

Conventions are boring if you go there with your Mom ( i admit, i only came with my mom the first time i went to a con... ) but with good friends -like all things in life- are actually fun i  noticed!

I guess they are even more fun if youre a Cosplayer and you and your Friends fool around all over the venue! Thats why Karo and I kinda felt like wanting to cosplay too,I don't like the costumey kind of Cosplay though. I always wanted to do cosplay which could also pass as an awesome take on

 japanese street fashion. Something along the lines of Death Notes MisaMisa. I felt like getting some cute wigs and rocking a Misa outfit!

Apart from watching Cosplayers we also took a long stroll around the stalls. What can i say, there was very kawaii but also typical Convention Stuff. We noticed ourselves squealing from stall to stall!
What i especially enjoyed seeing there were the Ragecomic Buttons and charms, i would've bought boyfie the trollface one but i found them too be way too expensive then.

 

Look at us feeling all supahcawaii in our otaku hats! 

After walking around the whole venue,  we got hungry and wanted to visit the host club. Yes, the Con had a Host Club. 8D We bought some Coupons and then stood in Line, when it was our turn in the line, the receptionist hostguy told us what they do and asked us which host we want to be accompanied by. When we actually imagined how guys are supposed to entertain us while we eat, we felt all embarrassed and stood there for a while giggling stupidly. xD

 After we calmed down we took a look at the list and chose the one we wanted to be our host. We first picked a guy named Tobi, or Toni or something. He was really goodloocking and seemed to be the most booked out host. So because we didn't want to wait too long we decided to just get the guy who was available at that time, which happened to be  a guy called Mino.

When we came to sit at the table Mino still attended his other guests. They were laughing and flirtily poking fun at him while he was acting all hurt and stuff. It was kinda cute. After their session ended and when he attended to us he was all complayining about how his customers are all weird people and how there was some person with undefinable gender who bit him in the neck. He then told us how relieved he was to see us, since we were the only normal customers he had so far. Poor Guy, we kinda felt sorry for him.Mino seemed to be a nice guy harrased by crazy otakus.

It was a reallly interesting experience, what seemed to be awkward at first was actually quite nice in the end. I ordered a non alcoholic cocktail ( becuase alcohol was not allowed in the venue) and something called Amiyori. I dont know why it was called Amiyori though, since to me it just seemed like a Onigiri with filling.

 

Ah well, i guess i'll never find out. It was tasty though!

Thanks for reading, till next post :)

I BLOG WHEN I'M HAPPY

..and i don't when i'm not.

I noticed that my blogging decreased when i started university. Some might think this might be due to stress and heavy studying. But its not, because, looking back i realized that i didn't do alot. I didn't listen to the lectures, didn't watch the movies ( cuz basically i was studying film studies :/) and only did the obligatory papers. I hoped for my course to turn out better in the future, thats why i gave it a chance for the second semester. But it didn't get better. I even took some Lectures about Comics, and i didn't care about it at all. This depressed me so much, it made sad and angry and all out confused. I had not a bit of Passion for my course.

Thats why, i finally decided to stop.
I don't want to graduate leaving me with the feeling of not having learned something at all.

So here i am right now, sitting in front of my laptop writing emails to Advertising Agencies, asking for available Internship spots. Next Year, I am going to apply for design courses. Which is what i wanted to do ever since School. I just didn't go that way because i thought i was made for more, i was such an ego, i thought i had to go to University instead of "only" an art school.

Well fuck it i was stupid. I just want to feel happy with what i'm doing now.

And i feel incredibly happy and relieved about finally having decided what to do. Now i just need to proove my Mom and everyone else that i can do it.

The Beach! Shopping! A Wedding!

I actually wanted to avoid such all in one posts, because me myself am most of the time annoyed when those blogs i read only update once a month, but with posts of three meters length.

Do you too? well don't worry, this won't take too long to read since im too lazy to write a three meter long post, as long as im not payed or graded :p

So, What have i been up to since my last post exactly?

Well, my mother arrived, and ever since then weve gone to...

The Beach! :D

We went to Laiya, Batangas. And by the way, this fruit here is called Rambutan (which strangely reminds me of a Kids Toy Anime...) and turned out to be my new favorite fruit!

Shopping!

Me and my Cousin went to Greenhills to shop for some of her work stuff. In the end though i bought more than her xD

I just loce how the shirts i bought each give me a different look!

(btw. ich biete ein aehnliches shirt wie das oben links auf Kleiderkreisel an, wer interessiert ist klickt hier )

A Wedding! :D

We so bad, we take pics during mass :x

At the Photobooth with me, my Ma ( in gold), Her Friend, and the Bride

Actually we planned to go somewhere today too, but its pretty usual for my ma to plan things in the morning, talk abou it till afternoon, and dump the idea in the evening.

oh we're so alike.

I think thats it, collective Post turned out to be quite short ah xD

Manila Gyaru Mini Meet

late post is late, but lots of things have been going on lately and organizing all the pics in my cam is harrd harrrd woork!!!

...ok, actually its not, im just very much lazy.

Annyyywayss, as announced in the last post i had a meetup with dearest Yapo, Meoki, Tatat and Akane at SM Megamall!

First of all because i know how controversial the term gyaru is sometimes looked at, i just wanted to say that as of right now i do not consider myself gyaru okay? Its just that i'm in Manila, and they are Gyarus, and we had a meet up, okay? fine.

Sooo, Because i had to be accompanied by my cousin on the way to the mall, and because she still had classes, I was there quite early and therefore the first to arrive. (because really, thats usually veeery rare of me xD) We all wanted to meet up at the food court but i was there a tad bit too early so i strolled around the groundfloor for a while. Waiting at the Mall isn't really a big deal because afterall, its a Mall.

Anyways when Meoki was there she called me up, it then turned out that we weren't so far apart then xD She looked soo pretty in her pretty floral dress and even with her scraped knees, she looked like such a doll <3 We always had to think of her as a sweet and tough gurololi or himeguro something haha xD

me and meoki, i somehow really love this pic!

Because the others took some time to arrive me and meoki strolled abit around the mall and later just sat at the food court and talked. Shes soo nice, i really enjoyed talking to her!! :D She also wore a georgeous pair of heels, so i didn't feel like a giant standing beside her. (because well, i always do when im with people here .__.)

meo, me and tatat

Later on, Yapo and Tatat arrived. It was so cute how Yapo walked through the food court looking for us! She really stood out with her caramel colored bob, among the masses of black haired people! I was really impressed in total because although i already know how she looks like, it was still different than seeing her in person. Anyways she was really funny and had such a bubbly personality, it really suited her look!

When Tata arrived, i was also really impressed too! I didn't really know her that well before, but she was also very funny and quirky! And her eyes are so georgeous, she did such a good job on her make!!

The last one to arrive was Akane, and she was so feminime and elegant! Look at her, such a Barbie Doll!

Later on we sat by the Atrium and just talked and hung out! Yapo had so much fun taking pictures of our legs haha xD

LEGSLEGSLEGS haha XD

By the way, i just noticed how i claimed organizing pics is so tired, while all the pics i posted up until now aren't even taken by me. Yeayea i suck, but Yapos Pics just look sooo much nicer!!

okay okay see for yourself

stolen picture i took

and well, now actual "stolen" pictures (..ogawd i kno im so corny right?!sryy)

see more at Yapos Blog!

( I hope you forgive me for taking theese...)

All in all the day was very fun! Although i really have gotten abit shy after having seen all these gerogeous ladies, seriously i look like such a plain jane compared to them xD

My Cousin was also very impressed when she saw them and said the same thing to me haha.

I'm soo looking forward to see them again next week!!! (... and by then i'd have practiced my hair and make skills!!)

Miyavi Live in Cologne

I've been sitting here for about 5 hours now, trying to finish this paper i have to hand in tommorow. I probably shouln't blog now, but i havent yet properly talked about the awesome sunday i had. :D

Okay, i already said that i went to see Miyavi. Although on Sunday morning i kind of doubted that i'd be able to see him, because i didn't have a ticket then .__.
So in order to look for a ticket we wanted to go earlier. My friend who was so nice to offer picking me up, wanted to do so on 12 pm, but i was still unshowered and in my divisoria duster then. xD
So i got ready and came 3 hours later. (Which was still pretty early, considering that entrance was on 7 pm)
This is how i looked like. Tried to do something new with my hair.

Post veröffentlichen

please forgive me for the fact that the last pic was taken in front of the toilet.
I wanted to achieve some kinda visual-kei look. Dunno if i did well, considering that i kind of never succesfully achieved the look xD ( even before when i was interested in vk stuff)

I didn't go too overboard since i also had to think practically.
Luckily my friend hat her car with her (and she even got a parking in front of the venue!! :D)
so i was able to store all my stuff in her car.
Because really, hot and full concerts suck when you have lots of stuff to carry around.

Buuut, back to me beeing totally hopeless because of no tickets!!
I went in front of the venue where everyone was waiting and hanging around. I couldn't find any street sellers or even information about a ticket counter, and because i am kind of weirded out by the shreiking, colorful animuh teenage population there i didn't bother asking someone. ( weird, considering that my friend with the car is like that too...but shes super nice!!)

Soo it was also raining, and we got inside the car to just chill and wait there. I took out a piece of paper and wrote"LOOKING FOR TICKET! please knock." We then sticked it to the backwindow of the car and a while later, a group of girls knocked on it! :D
I was sooo happy, because not only did i doubt that it would work, but the girls were also so nice to sell the ticket to me for the original price!
And pshhh really, considering how desperate i was i would have bought them for more :x

I was super happy and the concert was great! Miyavi changed his musical style again and his new albums songs where alittle bit to get used to, but he was soo into it and clearly enjoyed it!
seriously, theres nothing more sexy than seeing your idols sweatpearls sprinkle around~ |D
ok yea, there is i know, but that sight made a big impression on me nonetheless :o
And later on he started playing the older and familiar songs and i loved it soo much!!
Especially when he sang "we love you " with us x3

When Miv was talking to us, he also talked about the Japan disaster and asked us to pray for them. During his talk everyone went silent, except one annoying girl who shouted " ganbatte!" all of a sudden, followed by an annoyed " PSSHT" by someone else.
After he talked he asked us to stay silent for a minute and i really have to say that that was such a peaceful moment, felt really relaxing too. Especially after all the jumping around.

And because my weekend was so awesome and fully booked, i am really stressed right now with work i was supposed to do this weekend xD
Going to work on it now, thanks for reading. :)


Buh Byee~

Lovely Weekend Grillparty

I had a great weekend! We had beautiful weather on Saturday so my best friend invited us to Grill at her place. Although in the end we were only four people-because some people canceled for reasons we can't relate to, which kind of annoyed me too-but ah well, it was still alot of fun :D

We ate and played ping pong, drank abit and then at night went to the city to chill in front of the mall. Actually we all randomly felt like dancing, so we wanted to go clubbing. But since we didn't take enough money with us, chilling in front of the mall was the second best idea.

Another Friend came after and after abit of chatting and exchanging black stories (you know, those killign guessing games) it was getting abit cold so we got inside Mc'Donalds.
This is what i wore that day

I did nothing too extravagant with my hair and make, just wanted to achieve a soft day look.

On Sunday i went to the Miyavi Concert in cologne, but i'm going to post about this later :D
(one thing though, it was uh-maaazing :D)

Melissandro and Graziello weekend :D

Melissa has just been picked up :(
But it was a greaaat weekend! I was soo happy to see her again it was funnn :D
She arrived on Friday evening so i had some time to prepare the rest of my application to this university in Berlin i might go to.
Tbh, i was realllly stressed because i had to finish this application ( deadline is 29th March D:oh why can i only be productive with pressure?!?!? Dx) and still have two presentations due tomorrow and wednesday Dx
but ah well i have the rest of sunday available now.

But anyways lets get to Saturday :D
Melli and me went to Düsseldorf to take Purikura. Later on we met Jan and his Friend Stephan and we did another Purikura session with them.
Here are all the Machine Pics we took yesterday

I needed new pass pictures for my application so i just went into a stinky photo cabine in the train station. It was expensive, gross ( a used joint was on the floor Dx) and totally no good quality.
But ah well, i think i look kind cute there, it really makes my lashes pop.( yea im praising myself publicly, sorry but it happens too xD...although my face still looks round and chubby, the bangs are bad and my brooowss...okay okay i'll stop complaining!!.. ogawd kinda sad how long i'm able to ramble about superficial flaws D: )
And i absolutely love the purikura we took! :D
Soo cute and funny :D i especially liked this one


and this one is so awesome! Makes us look as if we're straight out of a cliched shojo manga or a host club :D

This is us in front of the bank. The Bank is perfect for taking outfit pics, srsly there should be more buildings that are compeltely covered with mirrors :D

Melli is sooo cute, i feel like a giant standing beside her D:
But ah well, i got used to looking like a giant standing next to shorter people.

Usually a Düsseldorf Trip is the perfect occasion for me to do a supahcawaiistuffz and magazine haul. But i'm on a money saving spree so this didn't happen. Only got a popteen for a friend whom i still owe a present. ( and that was for two months ago...yea i suck.)

okay heres another makeup shot and i'm out:
[first time using dolly wink lower lashes]


Buh Bye~
