ECQ Day 60-61
We have been staring at screens since our eyes opened, slipping vaguely between idle & productive on our devices, as one hour dripped into the next.
Gabs leans on the kitchen sink while downing a mango-oat-protein shake straight from the blender- something I have no idea how to do without making a mess so I watch bemusedly- & more lines, shadows, grooves on his body become more apparent to me.…

Osaka, Day 1: Universal Studios Japan
Our very first activity in Osaka was visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios, Japan-- for the first time! And it was Christmas Eve! I ran around feeling like a little girl who finally got her Hogwarts letter, my gaze and grin at their widest.
A few details of my day there: the Hogsmeade section is actually a fusion of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. The Ollivanders attraction selects one person to be evaluated at random, and the one who got selected in our group was dressed in full Slytherin student garb but didn’t even know what accio and alohomora were, and pronounced it as “aloha (1 second pause) amora.” We bought our own wands there; my brother chose the Elder wand, and I chose a wand made of Ivy, for magic users with restless spirits and endless energy. The Hogwarts ride is legitimately quite scary; the monsters seemed lifelike and they get really close to you. Don’t ride it if you don’t like your heart rate going up. If you line up for the Hogwarts ride while the sun’s up prepare to wait for an hour or two, but protip: go at night, while the lights show is going on and everyone’s distracted. Our second time lining up only took us 10 minutes. Also, the Hogwarts area is a little more empty at that time, and you can sneak in some badass photo ops.
*sighs dreamily* I really love theme parks.
Dark Little DIY 3: Dress De Muertos
The first dress I ever tried to make, and thank goodness I used such a gorgeous fabric to mask the messiness of the stitching in some areas. Such a neeewwb haha! This one has an incredibly simple pattern that I put together myself; literally just a bunch of squares and rectangles attached together. I’m glad I reconsidered making standard straps at the last minute. I thought to myself: “there must be a way I can make this dress spiffier so the fabulousness of that sugar skull party isn’t wasted.” And poof! It became koko krunch I made that choker neckline to keep the dress up. Wish I could have done more with the fabric; alas, it was nearly sold out when I tried to buy it and all I had left to work with was 1 yard, and it wasn’t very wide either. I’m gonna make something else if and when I score some more.
Dark Little DIY 2: Angry black cat crop top
This was aptly named “Catnipp” by a clever friend of mine, who described it as a “cat on your nipples.” It was quite simple to make, as the base pattern was just a bunch of no-frills shapes. What you see in the 1st photo... that’s literally it. No buttons or zippers, just stretchy leatherette.
I really like cats, and wanted to make a piece of cat-themed clothing for myself that packed a little more punk than what I see in high street brands. There’s plenty of cat-faced shirts out there, but I’ve never seen one with ultra resting bitch face like the one on mine. Hahaha!

Dark Little DIY 1: Ghost skirt
I mentioned in a previous entry that I was inspired to start making things for myself again, outside of cosplay. Well, here’s attempt #1! A stretchy ghost-faced skater skirt, made from scratch using pleather and a 1,500 peso rickety little sewing machine.
It was really quick project, but it was not without hitches; my sewing machine can’t take thicker fabrics so I had to let it plough through the layers of pleather by force. It survived. What a trooper. But it caused a wee bit of puckering in the process. I kept the edges raw; I don’t have the equipment to finish them.
But voila! I now have a unique and creepy-cute skirt I designed and made just for me. I almost want to make a little bow-tie to go with it. ... I think I will.
Other photos from APCC. Putting them here because this convention has tons of sentimental value to me in that it lit a formerly dead corner of my heart which contained my drive to create things. I’ve picked up drawing again, and I’m also itching to create things of my own, as opposed to creating because of cosplay, which is of course great, but there’s a different thrill altogether in making something of your own design. I’ll be getting to that as soon as I can.
Anyway, there’s me dressed as Fionna inside the Hulkbuster, me with the wonderfully inspiring Chris Ryniak and Amanda Spayd, my loot from the convention, and a closeup of my two new little friends having some kind of existential chat on my toy shelf. Cheer up, Plopp.
The western pop culture convention scene in Manila has really been stepping up its game! I’m very pleased to see that more locals are getting as excited and invested in geek culture as us “old-timers.”

Theater? No wonder ang galing nyo. Some cosplayers wear costumes to be in character. You guys are the characters, the costumes just amplify it. :-) (Yes, feel free to let the Krew see my message. You guys are awesome. Mwah!)
Gah my heart!! Thank you again!! That is a huge compliment I can't deal. We love the Avatar series so darn much. We're mostly just happy to show it in whatever creative ways we do best. ;_; Anyway hope to meet you one day!
Galing! Loved the Legend of Korra cosplay Krew. All of your expressions (esp Bolin) are in character.
Oh yeah, our Bolin does Bolin reeeeally well, no?! It helps that we all absolutely looove portraying these characters (’cause we all have theatre backgrounds!)
I’ll let my friends know you enjoyed our cosplays. It’s sure to make their days. THANK YOU, BEH!! <3
Snapshots from our short but awesome Toycon day 2 visit. Digressing, my costume is still unfinished and in need of upgrades (especially the equalist glove.) Nevertheless I’m really happy we managed to visit a convention as the complete Team Avatar before we all get really busy again! Here’s to hoping we’ll all crash another convention together soon enough.
