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 a lot of anime/cosplay/other related events even if it is just the 13th
day of the year---and I am pretty sure a lot more will be added in the next
months. Below is the list of the events
for 2014:

And since there are booths and merchandise, you can have your post-holiday shopping or buy late Christmas gifts---like what I will do XD Some of the things sold here are various collectibles, anime merchandises, cosplay things, and many more.

Sorry for not blogging recently. I am super busy with
my work, birthday week and finishing a future cosplan for a big cosplay event.
The only time I was able to write was for my work, so I apologize that I haven’t
been updating.
But in relation to that, as I said above, I am also
busy finishing a cosplan (well my bf’s cosplan actually) for him to cosplay in
one of the biggest cosplay events this year: Cosplay Mania 2013. And I will take
this opportunity to promote the said event in case you are interested to go.

Cosplay Mania 2013 Details
When: October 5-6, 2013
Where: Function Halls 3-5, SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay
City, MM Philippines
Time: 10:00 am to 9:00 pm
Cosplay Mania ‘13 is the Philippine’s premiere event for cosplay and cosplaying
enthusiasts. As Cosplay continues to rise as a creative hobby for the young and
old, the event continues to draw bigger crowds, with a top attendance amounting
to more than 20,000 attendees for a two-day event last year.
Now in its 6th year, Cosplay Mania celebrates the
more than 10 years of Philippine cosplay history since the hobby’s humble local
beginnings way back in the year 2000. Event attendees are in for a treat with
Cosplay Mania’s exclusive line-up of activities and events: Cosplay Solo
Showdown and Cosplay Team Battle, Costume Building Contest, Cosplay Snapshot
Project Photo Contest, Costume Workshops, Cyberzone Cosplay Grand Prix 2nd Heat
and the much awaited Cosplay Tournament of Champions 4th Stage Grand Finals.
In addition, there will also be band performances,
local and international exhibitors, special guests from the international
cosplay community… and more surprises!

One
detail congoers must note is the ticket prices, which are P150 and P250
respectively, for each day. To know the difference between the two, just take a look at the picture below:
It
is advisable to buy your tickets before the event day itself as there will be
specific entrances for those who bought tickets early on and for those who will
buy them on the event itself. It will be
less hassle for you if you buy tickets early and you can get them in any SM
Cinema ticketing counter. Here are the details on the entrances to the event:

Another
thing to look forward is the special guests who are international cosplayers
from Asian countries. For this year, Cosplay Mania will have Kaname, Reika and
Goldy as their special guests.

Other
guests include: Jesuke, Vio, Vic, Reiko and Endless Illution. The special guests as well as other guests
will have a meet-and-greet (which has a separate ticket and are sold out already).

Aside from ToyCon, Cosplay Mania is one of the
cosplay events my bf and I look forward to because of the stage events,
merchandise shopping, bonding with friends and, of course, doing cosplan.
Somehow, we make sure we debut a certain cosplan in this event, especially when
it is a cosplan that we are working hard on.
For this year, I am helping my bf fulfill his dream cosplay and we want
everything to be perfect.

We will be there on both October 5 and 6, and most
likely be there the whole day as we will be doing shopping, meet up with
friends, watch some performances and many more. So if you plan to go there,
would love to see you.
If you want to know more about the event, the sites are mentioned above or you can ask me. J
