When I first watched an anime convention organized by Otakuzine I felt overjoyed. Imagine I was already an anime lover since I was in elementary and I can only see pictures of cosplayer on friendster oh! how I envy them! I always thought that cosplay are only in japan, ugh how naive I'am, but then i learned from a friend of mine that we also have cosplay conventions here in the Philippines, and that next week it will be held at SM mega mall. Thats why when my friend and classmate asked me if i want to cosplay I didn't hesitate to say yes, hey! its my life long dream after all (^o^).
The story behind the costume...
When I opened my piggy bank containing all of my life savings Behold! countless coins fell out making the *caching caching* sound, but after counting them all it only amounted to about 500 pesos (I'm so poor T_T). But this didn't become a reason to back-out from my plans. I never asked money from my siblings for my capriciousness on anime, so to budget all my resources I decided to ask my friend to sew my costume for free and she agreed, then i went to Divisoria to buy the needed fabric. I cosplayed Kawashima Ami from Toradora, well its not because shes my first choice or anything, its just because her uniform looks easy to make (anyway I'm not the one who will do the sewing co'z I'm not good at it, but i just don't want to put a heavy burden on my friend who kindly accepted my selfish request.) and also because i cant afford to buy a wig, i think my hair will pass if i cosplay her. And tada! heres the result...
EPIC FAIL!!!
you won't even recognize the character i'm cosplaying
well anyway its my first time doing it so i think my excuse
is reasonable isn't it? right?
Well I enjoyed the event and everything was worth it that is all that matters. So now I'm saving money again and preparing for another convention. It may take a while before i cosplay again but i will make sure that the next will become much more better..
