Singapore Cosfest XII 2013

           Last July 2013, I went on a month long vacation in Singapore. It just so happen that on the same day of my arrival, SG's Cosfest XII is also taking place. So being the anime addict that I was, I decided to attend the event and maybe see how SG's Convention differs from those events held in the Philippines (I asked my cousin, who is working in SG, to accompany for this event. She does't even know what anime is!). XD

Above is the event banner. It was held in D'Marquee Mall, Singapore. It was a few stops away from Changi Airport. I arrived at the event on July 7 at around 4PM hence, the limited amount of picture and I think some of the cosplayer already left the event hall.

Picture of mommy Chun Li and baby Chun Li. Their so cute together! Someday I will also have a daughter who will cosplay with me (wish ko lang?!). Lol. =D

Model Wannabe...

As the title stated (Model Wannabe), I am NOT a model. I just wished I were one. Lol! J

I don’t really remember the event where I started liking to have my pictures taken or dreaming of becoming a model.

When I was a little girl, I used to hate having my picture taken. My parents used to tell me stories about how I always throw tantrums whenever someone took my picture. There were even times where I would rip my dress up, throw my shoes and, as exaggerated as it may be, fight with the photographer. This is mainly the reason why every time my relatives see me having my picture taken they always tease me and tell stories about when I was young.

I can't really explain how I like having my picture taken. All I know is that I just love posing in front of the camera, having a picture for a specific outfit (OOTD), taking my own picture (selfie) or just making faces (narcissistic much?). It just makes me feel relaxed and forget about my problems (maybe because I just do it for fun and not as a job). J

All About Louie # 5: Doll Collector

Hello Everyone!

So to explain more about this particular thing about me, I’ll be copying some of the things that I wrote from my other blog account (http://lou806.livejournal.com), which is currently in a hiatus. J

Around 2011, I saw a pretty doll in different pose while browsing the net. I thought she’s really cute so I started to search more information about this doll. Then I found out that she is called a Ball Jointed Doll, she was manufactured by a Korean company (dream of dolls), that her name is Shall and that she is EXPENSIVE. Being the cheapskate that I am, I thought, “I will never have a doll like her”.

 And there starts the never-ending Obsession for these Expensive Dolls…

Every day when I open my computer, I made sure to browse the net for these dolls. I found out about the different companies that manufacture them, the different size, different sculpt, different origin, different clothes, hair, shoes, etc. Four months later, I made up my mind on buying my first and last (that’s what I thought at that time) doll. My mindset then was “maybe if I get one, I’ll finally stop this obsession”. But I got scared of customs, the long waiting time, the use of credit card and since I’m already following ManikaManila by that time; I opted to adopt a doll from one of its member. It just so happen that the dolls up for adoptions are from the same company that I am planning on ordering from (dream of dolls). So, I talked to the owner and after a week, Katarzyna Clarisse (KC) was delivered on my doorstep. Face smiling, heart pumping, hands shaking and my mind thinking “I just want to open that box”!  At that time, nothing matters except for opening that box. And when I finally saw her, standing there in front me, everything was so worth it! Forget about the sleepless nights thinking about BJD’s, never mind the amount of money I spent to get her, and didn’t think about the reaction of my parents when they see her (I was sure I’ll get a scolding from my mom). All I know is that I was so happy and satisfied that I finally have my own BJD.

As of today, I already have five (5) BJD’s. Four (4) MSD’s, 2 girls and 2 boys,  and a Yo-SD girl. KC is still register in ManikaManila Census under her previous mom, while the other  4 are not yet registered. I got so busy after the board exam and just forgot to register them.

So there, that is how all this thing started.

I’m saving up right now so I haven’t bought any dolls. But I’m planning on buying my very first 1/3 (SD) doll this year! ^_^

Thanks for reading everyone and till next time! J

Below is a picture of my dolls (excuse the low quality picture. I just realised that the only picture that I have with all of them together is a picture from my phone 😭)

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

Just because I can feel the Christmas Spirit around me! So I decided to write. J

Here is a very short explanation about this.

Another thing that you should know about me is that I love to Travel. I love going to places and experiencing things. I feel happy whenever I see the different sceneries here in our world. Meeting people and learning about their culture and beliefs helps me widen my horizon and gives me first hand experience on things that I usually just read in books. Tasting the different delicacies unique in each place that I visit makes me very eager to continue this certain hobby and explore more.

So far, I have only been able to travel the places here in the Philippines and some Asian Countries that does not required Visas.

As of now, my Goal for this hobby is to be able to travel the places/countries presented on my passport case. Hopefully, I’ll have the time and money to be able to explore these countries. J

Below is a picture of my Passport Case. I bought the case in a local shop during my trip in Dumaguete City, Visayas Philippines. (Countries in my passport case: Paris, London, Minlan, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, China, Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapore, Indonesia, Sydney)
