Goodbye to the old, hello to the new! Old (2014) and New (2015) Starbucks Planner This is my mantra today as I embrace new things this coming 2015. It’s been a very eventful and hectic 2014, with so many changes that sort of turned my life around. I’m not exaggerating haha :D I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of...
Food was never my strongest suit in all aspects. As I grew up, I never loved to eat. I am a moody eater because I rather sleep, write, or work than eat. I’m a picky eater and I was never into “food trips” or “food adventures”. Thus, I was never good at food reviews and if you look at my blog, you see...

This year, I had so many life changes that I became busy with work and some extra curricular activities. Because of this, I had so many blog hiatuses so I could get my life back on track. But every time I go back from those hiatuses and posted a few blog posts before going to a hiatus again, I felt happiness and becoming...
Sorry for the late post; I've been so busy that I was only able to finish this today. Anyway, Cosplay Mania has always been my most anticipated cosplay events every year because something new is always given to its audience. Ever since I first attended it last 2011, there is a main highlight every time we attend. For this year’s Cosplay Mania, one...
Some people say that a hobby is just a hobby. It is a way to pass time and de-stress yourself from work or any problems in life. It’s something to just take you away from boredom. But once you have de-stressed, you won’t bother with your hobby anymore. But for me, a hobby is more than just a past time. It is more...
It’s always a pleasure whenever someone contacts me to participate in their contests because there are more deserving people. In this case, Valerie from Paul Frederick emailed me asking if I can join their contest entitled “New York Comic-Con: Cosplay Style Challenge”. I’m always up for a challenge, so I said yes. ...
If I go back in time and ask my younger self on what my life would be when I turned 30, I feel she’d laugh awkwardly and brush off the topic. Why? Because I dreaded the age of 30 when I was young. No kidding! I didn’t want to experience the age of 30, though I know I will get there. I just...

Press Release | Fandom News | “Rurouni Kenshin” Sequels To Be Shown in Philippine Cinemas
3:06 AM
"Rurouni Kenshin" aka "Samurai X" is one of the old school animes that I super love, though I was late in watching it. So when Japan decided to make a live-action movie of it in 2012, I was super excited. But at the same time, I had qualms because we feared it will not be good. Blame that on American movies turning animes...
Most of you know me as an anime fan and a cosplayer who attends a lot of anime and cosplay conventions. But I do not limit myself to just anime and manga. In fact, I have a very soft spot for the Western fandom, especially science fiction, fantasy, and superhero. My all-time favorite is Star Wars, thanks to my dad who influenced me on...

Just last weekend, we discovered a new milkshake bar that was unforgetable and unique. Milkshake bars are not common nowadays. But we are happy to discover Starr’s...
The people who are close to me, especially relatives, always tell me I look like my father. I admit this is true. But unfortunately, I not only got looks from him, but also some health problems. One of them is Allergic Rhinitis. Allergic Rhinitis, according to Wikipedia, is “an allergic inflammation of the nasal airways. It occurs when an allergen, such as pollen,...
And yes, I took a plunge to change---after 3 years of staying in my comfort zone. I haven’t blogged the past weeks and this is the reason. I decided to get out of the zone that is safe and comfortable because I saw more cons than pros. It took me a long time to think about everything and make a decision (long time...

Cosplay Event | Ozine Fest 2014 – April 25, 26, & 27, 2014
5:24 AM Cosplayers and otaku fans rejoice! There will be another major anime and cosplay event this week and it will start later at 10:00am! :D It’s the Ozine Fest 2014. What makes this event special this year is, for the first time, it is going to be held in SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia instead of SM Megamall. For most cosplayers out there,...
When it comes to make-up for Asian skin, one of the brands I love is Etude House. Their products are good for the skin and takes care of it. The brand has been good to Filipinas and continue to give good products and services. And as a way to celebrate their good relationship to customers, they are organizing a fun-filled event this coming...

1:33 AM Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. Everything posted here is my own opinion and I was not paid to post this. I was never into contacts until only last year because I want to sort of level up in my cosplays. I wanted to get the right eye color when I cosplay my characters to make me really feel the character. And...
I am the type of person who is not much into casinos and hotels, though I have around 2 membership cards from them. One is from Solaire Resort and Casino, which I heard about before but was just able to go this year. I admit it was a bit awkward for me because I rarely go to casino hotels (as in rarely), but...

I missed blogging then, so I’m glad I’m able to blog now. I am a sucker for loyalty and reward cards here in the Philippines. I make it...
For avid figure collectors out there, one of the most anticipated (and dreaded) figure events at the start of 2014 is Winter Wonder Festival or Winter WonFes. For those not familiar, Winter WonFes is a bi-annual event held in Makuharu Messe in Chiba, Japan. It is a figure event where “garage kits” are displayed and sold as artists replicate anime and game characters....

While anime fans love animes so much, it can’t be helped that they want to see live-action versions of their favorite animes---as long as they are made by a Japanese production crew. One example would be Rurouni Kenshin, where the first live-action film was such a big hit because it was done really well and stayed true to the concept of the original...
Aside from reading and money-saving, one thing that I didn’t fulfill last year is watching anime---whether old-school or recent. For 2014, I want to change that and watch as many animes as I can. Hopefully, by the end of this year, this anime list of mine will have many crossouts. XD Since anime series have a lot of genres, I decided to assign...
Before anything else, I am sorry for not posting. I’ve been so busy with work and the cold didn’t help because I got sick. I can’t take the cold even when I was small; the cold here in the Philippines went below 23 degrees and I am fully covered these past days. While that is normal for most people, it’s not for me...

Hey guys! I am relaxing now after coming from Otaku Expo 2014 Day 1 in Megatrade Hall 1, SM Megamall. It was a good event and we were able to buy some merchandise and stuff for us. I’ll write a separate post for Otaku Expo Day 1 because, for today, I’d like to share the anime/cosplay/other related events for 2014. There are already...

It’s already the 3rd day of 2014---that was fast. 2013 was a roller coaster for me in many aspects but I am looking forward to 2014. Not only do I leave the 20’s, but I plan to really organize things in my life. 2013 is where I struggled and not know my real path. This was also the time when productivity was a...
