A New Sign Lights Up in Tagum City

Living in Tagum, it's always a delight when a new establishment/restaurant/store decides to set up camp in the city.

Last week, the King of Coffee did just that.


I welcomed this new comer with open arms and a very open mind.
This particular encounter with the King of Coffee amazed me and made me feel very proud for having this Mindanao-born brand with us. Find out why by reading on!

A Royal Christmas at SM Lanang




On November 11, I joined my fellow bloggers at SM Lanang Premiere to witness the lighting of their Royal Christmas christmas tree.

Let me walk you through SM Lanang Premiere's "A Royal Christmas, 2012".

Cosplay Mania 2012 Day 2

Finally, my second post for CosMania is here.

It's been a very busy past few days with exams and interviews from banks... and me being sick...

Anyways, let me just get through CosMania Day 2 real quickly, once again bombarding you with photos!


Oh, let me show you this photo I took with my phone during CosMania Day 1 when we were back in the hotel!


This was the first time we officially met him and talked to him. The only thing I thought about after seeing him was: "So, he walked around with his belly exposed? Poor fangirls..."

So, yeah, anyways...

CosMania Day 2 started out with me and Duane taking photos at the lobby of Eurotel. We were then joined by Lunaru and Mommeh Sese.

Photo ops!~



And then I transformed into Lunaru's stalkah!~


*latches on to Lunaru* .... *lick.. slurp*

Nomz.... o___o

Aaaaanywhooo, Lunaru and Sese kindly offered to drive us to SMX since we were left behind by our no good friends. LOLjk. They went ahead.

So, we drove... parked... and helped Lunaru into her Lightning costume. It was her very first time to don an armor costume so I am pretty proud to be one of the people to see her transform into the Beautiful Warrior Woman, Lightning!

For her photos as Lightning, please check out MY PHOTO BLOG. <-- click, then come back here.

After that, we went up to the main event area to regroup with the others.

Basically, my Day 2 was shoot-filled. I had the opportunity to shoot Mommeh Sese, Lunaru, Trixi, Duane, Loon, Luna and Lanz.

Then, we had a group photo. We are fun people to be with, yes.


If you clicked the link to Lunaru's Lightning photos above, then you must have also seen the photos I took of the others! If not, click HERE.

During the shoot, Duane and Lanz re-enacted a scene from the MV Gangnam Style.




Duane seems to be enjoying himself. I can't say the same for Lanz. LOL. What say you, Lanz? :D


The day was just so good because I also got to meet the friends I met from Xiamen, China, but I'll be making a separate blog post for that.

Let me fast-forward to the END of the event.

Marko and Dom (Adventure Team) were the champions of TORCH 3rd Impact, YAY! And Yuu and Brahm (Team MARCH Harue) won 1st Runner-up! 

So happy because they're all my friends and I'm so proud of them. 

My photos of TORCH HERE. <-- Click.

Fast forward to the hotel....


Okay, so here's an interesting story I have to share to you guys.

I share my room with three other people. Zhel G., Trixi and Duane. Tonight, John Benares joined our little group before we met with the others for dinner.

It was a VERY tiring day for all of us, and we came home to a dysfunctional room. There were no lights, the aircon wouldn't turn on, and our beds were cluttered. LOL.

So you can just expect how, umm, bad tempered we were all. I mean, it was a TIRING DAY.

But, as they say, everything happens for a reason.

Due to the dysfunctional airconditioner, we had our door room open. And guess who greeted Duane, who was standing by the door?

Kaname, himself.

His room also had problems. The keycard wasn't working.

Oh, lady luck, we love you.

So we basically had a bit of Kaname Time then. And he gave us an opportunity to take a photo with him.


A lot of other things happened but I shall not divulge those here. We made a pact that what happened there, stays there... sort of. XD

So, basically, our rooms are fixed and we prep for dinner. 

We went downstairs at around 11:30 PM for dinner. And who do we meet downstairs?

Some of the organizers of CosMania and the special guests, Reika and Jesuke and Vio! Well, as fans...

You know what happened next.









After all the photo taking, photo bombing and socializing... we went to ANDOKS!! Which was right next to our hotel. We all thought the guests and the organizers were eating elsewhere... turns out they were eating at Andoks as well.

The more the merrier!!


Meet the Knights of the LOOOOONG table. This was made longer later in the night as more people came for dinner.


Meet the ONE and ONLY Guy Singzon. What people call the prehistoric cosplayer. You guys didn't read that here.


THE Sir Erving Go, towering over the already small Trixi. LOLz. XD




The dinner was graced by the Melo and Quakey Comedy Duo, entertaining both guests from the Philippines and Singapore. You can see how Vio is so happy.

Facts we learned:

Melo's wrist is Quakey's arm.
Melo's arm is Quakey's thigh.
Two Quakey's can fit inside One Melo.

Quakey has unbelievably smooth armpits.




The host, Melo Lazatin, from the Little Mermaid to Senator. What can he NOT do!?


I would just like to highlight this photo and would want to turn this into a "Make a caption" photo.

CAPTION MAKING TIME!

Make a caption for the photo above. You can use a one-liner, or a dialogue. Make it as funny as you can.

People in the photo:

Red shirt - Jesuke
White Domo shirt - Viospace
Black shirt (right) - Quakey
Black shirt in the left (back) - Kevin (LOL)

Please leave your captions, if you have any (but I encourage you to have one), in the COMMENTS SECTION below.


*ehem*

Back to my post.

Here's a few photos with Jesuke to end the post!



Notice how the expert photo bombers just flock towards a good photo. SMH.


I would just like to thank everyone that I met there for the AWESOME time you gave me.
It was so worth getting sick after I got back to Davao.

Thank you to everyone who signed my photo book and for letting me sign theirs.
Thank you to everyone who gave me their coscards and for getting mine.
Thank you to everyone who let me take their photos and for taking photos of me.
Thank you for talking to me. LOL.

'Til next time, everyone!!!

The knights of the LOOOOOOOOOONG Table will be reunited!

Cosplay Mania 2012 Day 1

In my photo blog,


I posted my "official" photos of cosplayers from the first day of Cosplay Mania 2012.

In this post, I'll just be throwing around the photos I took of friends and stuff during the first day of the event. Prepare for some really hilarious photos (thanks to my awesome friends).

E-diiiiii? Go!

 


These are the Top 20 photos that got in for the Cosplay Snapshots Contest!
Congratulations to Agito for 1st Place, Paolo for 2nd Place, and me for 3rd Place!

Yays!

The first thing I did was look for Naoko, since she told me she'd give me a pass. So she brought me inside Reika's Meet and Greet, where I got to take photos of, well... Reika's Meet and Greet.




I luuuurve her voice. When she started talking in Japanese, I just stood there and stared.
People went on stage to hug her and take photos with her and get her cos-card and give her gifts and stuff. I just took shots. . . while deep inside I was shriveling up in jealousy.

Anyways, she also had this mini-game of "Janken" which is actually just Jankenpoi (I hope the spelling's right)... Three lucky winners walked away with her uber awesome photo book... My feels... TAT

Inside the meet-and-greet room, I met Mommy Sese, Aruki and Lunaru. We caused a mini-scene as we were shouting and jumping and hugging. Damn. But I was just so happy to see them again. TAT

Here's a photo with Aruki, Sese and Chibi-Nii (respectively).

Also inside the meet-and-greet was Kaname. Sitting by the side of the room, trolling Reika's meet-and-greet together with Jesuke.


I mean, look at that evil grin on his face. You can just tell he has an evil plan in mind.

The meet-and-greet came to an end and I got the awesome opportunity to shoot Reika...although it was kind of... short.. and awkward coz she was on stage and I was..well, not... and there wasn't that much space, what with all the people and stuff... So, I did my best.

You can view my photos of her through my PHOTO BLOG. <-- Click it. Hurry. Then remember to come back here!


After the Reika session, me and my friend, Chibi, went around the event area to take photos. Here are some of them.


There were soooooo many people. SO. MANY. PEOPLE.


Then there was this guy. I wondered where the photos came out. ;)



And I met my ozum friends~~~ Abu, Ian, Kat, Marko, Jin, Dom, Sir Guy~ We had photos galore.

Then Kat took the stage. :P



Meet the happiest Dark Phoenix. We didn't mind. We were happy she's happy. Saves us all from being obliterated.

My proper photo of Kat as Dark Phoenix here.


More people. And people fanboy/girling over a Dream of Doll doll.

Then when I thought nothing was going to impress me anymore....

THIS.




Too cute. Damn. I had to take a photo with her. <3


The rest of the day I spent taking photos of my friends Kevin and Maxene. 

Official photos to be found HERE.

Please wait for my CosMania 2012 Day 2 post!!

'Til the next post!

Also, the next post will have a GIVE-AWAY exclusive to Davao and Tagum cosplayers (that didn't attend CosMania). It's just a little something-something for you guys! 

Please anticipate!
