Random HnG!Ping song If this isn't a "Hey, Isumi, you know you can always count on me" song by Waya, I don't know what else it could be: The Spill Canvas - As Long as it takes.

Okay, so Best of Anime/the Manila Book Fair happened last weekend, and despite having little sleep due to a team GA Friday night, I was wide-eyed and bushy-tailed that day. And by that I mean my sister was tired just trailing after me. So here are some of the pictures I took - removing pictures I took of myself and my companions, naturally. :D




Tira Misu and Death by Tablea from Chocolat. This may be partly to blame for my hyper!mode the whole day. Note: the Tira Misu is much better than the Death by Tablea if you like sweet things.


From One Piece, methinks. One of the first cosplays we saw that day.


Alois why so cute? Ole~!


Hetalia! I end up taking a lot of pics of people in Hetalia cosplay, just sayin'.


England triple!cest. Surprisingly, I didn't meet any America that day. ^^;


Police!England capturing Prussia. Austria approves of this greatly.


Fem!Kakashi doing what she does best, which is to read IchaIcha.


Aaaal~♥


The cutest little cosplayers ever. The Haruhi was the one most game to pose for the cameras. Comments about kidnapping her was heard from the adoring crowd.


There cannot be a con without CLAMP in some shape or form. Or in this case, TRC!Sakura.


I may or may not have squeed at seeing Gakupo.


I'm pretty sure I know him, I was just - never formally introduced. He also cosplayed Saint Seiya and KHR before.


Imitation Black!Version Kagamine, sans Kaito and Gakupo.


Italy and another England. Took the picture while they were shopping ^^;


At first it was just Luffy lying on the floor. Then more people started lying down on the floor. >_>


I admit to squeeing over Estonia~♥


Allen Walker in his uniform. *w*


Hatsune Miku posing for the cameras.


I fail at guessing. She might be from Black Rock Shooter?


Prussia~♥ (Oh wait why is there a heart there?) Prussia commissioned a tricorne for her Succession!Prussia for Cosplaymania. That means that I am also making Succession!Austria for that event. *crosses fingers*


She was actually a model for one of the booths in the con.


Sandplay of the Dragon!Luka. Why yes, Vocaloid was in full force.


I knew him as Greece-san, and called him Greece-san while comparing our Kodak Easyshare cameras. His was a later model.


It was impossible to take a picture of Doraemon alone. And who can blame the cosplayers?


I'm starting to read One Piece btw. I'm at volume 7, which means I've got a LOOOONG way to go.


Sanji~♥ Also there was a quite okay-looking Zoro, but I never got the chance to take a picture of him. Boo!


The most adorable little doll ever.


Ciel! True fact: Ciel was accompanied by her dad, I believe.


Persona group. :D I love seeing P3 because everyone has cosplayed P4 already.


Cantarella!Kaito and Miku. For bonus points, clear and nero's cover Just click the パソコンへ転 button.


Belarus! And now that I think about it, there was no Russia during the con too. Huh.


I love this shot of the whole Onizuka group.


Black Rock Shooter is actually getting to be popular, probably because of the anime.


Bumblebee~♥


My awesome bag keychains! These HikaGo plushies were for car decorations, but I snipped off the wire and put them on little links.

On an unrelated note, I finally salvaged a set of broken headphones to make Magnet!headsets from scratch. Creating the butterfly wing pattern by hand was an experience I would NEVER EVER REPEAT AGAIN. This is incomplete because the wings are attached to the spraypainted headphones by scotch tape. I'm using my Devil Survivor wig because it's the closest to Kaito's that I have.

Why didn't I see any Hetalia cosplayers at the con, lmao. I think I was looking at all the wrong places. Maybe I should try cosplaying America? :D

[identity profile] blue-cage.livejournal.com 2010-09-22 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe because the Hetalia cosplayers were going around in their own mini group, hence you never saw them together. ^_^;

Go as America! Or better yet, Australia! I think we have an Australian flag here somewhere.

That backpack ... it was you, hahaha!

Oh, I see, I see! Perhaps I'll have better luck next time! I did see a stray England, though.

As much as I want to do Australia, I can't. I'm doomed to wear eyeglasses for the rest of my life. America seems to be the only option, hahaha.

You should've tapped me really! xDDD

Stray!England makes me think of Catalia. :P Also, I totally cheat while cosplaying because I take off my glasses for HRE and Russia during photo ops. Otherwise I am a meganekko. >_>

Holy shit, handmade headphones are epic.

Thanks! They kept me awake at work when I did a double shift. :D

Wah~! Alfonsu!

Great pictures! Thanks for posting them!

Sayang di ka nakapose with Gakupo. The headphones look professional. *thumbs up* You should sell.

When I saw Alphonse I went :DDDDD! He was with rockabilly!Roy and no wig!Ed, so I just posted the solo pic.

I was actually not in cosplay that day - too lazy to lug around a costume when I knew we might end up going to the book fair. I COULD theoretically use the headphones sometimes for cosplay though I really just made them for fun :D

[identity profile] blue-cage.livejournal.com 2010-09-22 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Aren't they the cutest, tiniest little things?! We adored them on sight. :D

[identity profile] deadtree.livejournal.com 2010-09-22 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I'm afraid I'd have kidnapped them xD

Oh noes, you've made me an accessory to your crime! D: D: D: D:

Cosplaymania will be in SMX too, so I'm hoping the good lighting will help me take good pictures again. :D

It's a very shiny Al, isn't it?!

There was an acoustic version of thta song, but I thought the original was closer to the feel for Waya. :D

Nice pictures!

I like your headset~

[identity profile] blue-cage.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
The secret of taking good pictures: a convention space with good lighting! :D

Thanks! Now that I think about it making the headset was more fun than wearing it :P

Actually nope, that's Czarina Geronimo - she's the daughter of the person managing the shop Otaku's Den, I believe. ^_^ But she DOES look like Jin here.

Can you come this weekend? It's Cosplay Mania X at SMX again, and I'm going alone on Saturday, but I think my sister will be with me Sunday!
