  On Cosplay Mania 2009 and Naruto Photoshoot

  And so, the bigger and better, if not the biggest, cosplay event for the year in the Philippines has now commenced. T’was indeed fun and I personally have to say, better than last year where I debuted my Lili Rochefort costume. This time around, September 13, 2009, I portrayed another game character, Lilina “Lilith” Hinazuki.

  Tha mastah plan came from my good friend Naoko since the 2^nd PCC.  I have no idea yet that time what I should wear for Cosmania. Naoko was cosplaying DJ Iroha from the game Beatmania IIDX. She tagged me along and suggested the series. I chose from the multiple DJs available, which I shortlisted to which I later decided to do Lilith. Her Konami figure is my fave! Yay for candy bunny! My full review of the event and the cosplay activities go here in my Multiply Site.

  The group cosplays were fantastic! Congrats to Kyn and the Sigil group for winning! Wooohooo! They combined comic antics and serious skit for their Valkyrie Profile group. Way tooo cool! I also liked the Xmen Group for debuting a team! It's rare nowadays I guess to find Western characters. Their costumes were amazing as well! Thanks to Aiko for the Valkyrie group pic and Jay for the Xmen skit pic! (^_^)

  

  There were lots of kid cosplayers too! How cute! The little Son Gohan girl cosplayer was sooo adorable! She was crying on stage and looking for her momma! Awwww!

  

  Here are a few more photos for your delight. More photos appear on my Multiply Site and some postings on my DeviantArt site.

  

  

   

  On another note, yet after another weekend, September 20, 2009, I headed straight to a Naruto Photoshoot session. T'was also fun and exciting. I met other new cosplayers and some photographers. I worked with a few and so far, I could say that was okay. Regardless of being rained on ... we were able to manage it in the location. My good friend Markee has indeed been very nice to me, portraying characters like Lady Gaga and Silhouette for my groups so I didn't say NO anymore when I got invited to be Tsunade in his group. Besides, I like Tsunade's character. Strong-willed women like her matches my personality and style. She's a woman leader as well and I believe, I can portray her role. I never cosplayed a character I don't like or if I don't know much about that character. 

  

  

  I arrived uber-late because I still came from a far-away Leadership Conference but I didn't want to let down my friend Markee (who cosplayed Orochimaru) for this invitation so I proceeded. Thanks to him for this opportunity to be part of the photoshoot. Here are a few photos.

  

   

  Thanks to Rojan, Jerome, Zell, and the other photographers, and most especially Jan (my good friend and cosplay buddy as well, and photographer) for making the day way better! Yay! More photos available on their websites.

  Those have been my cosplay events recently!
