butttt mehhhh~ iban and I went to LARO 2013 (day 2) though~

that was last October 31,2013...

we didn't see much familiar faces ... what would you expect from a newbie here XD

thus..we didn't enter the venue lels...we just watched from afar 

but our day was osm~nomnomonom :3

--------------------

 meet donatello...iban gave me this <3 (u absolutely knew the things that i love)

yay! happy meal-happy me!

 we also used our gc huehuehue that ice cream milk tea was <3

 just derping and yep i already bought a set of temple of deceit 2 merciless eviction and 2 sphinx's revelation

...it's quite costly compared from the prices before...just saying huehue XD

~I think i wont be buying jace aot or elsphet 

but I still need 2 ashiok and a set of temple of silence

but i can wait....yep my wallet can wait XD

and because of my feels for M:TG here

i haff ta play test!!!

-----------------

Iban accompanied me to a double bonanza event at Spiral:Valenzuela last November 01, 2013

but because we were late...i wasn't able to play for the first pod...

well this was worth remembering for me 'coz it's my first FNM :3

and i also got my first DCI card/number lels just because i lost my DCi card/number

that the guy from NG gave me :c

as for the game... I have so many misplays

I can'tbare it any more lels I feel so stupid haha

my first game was awful...bad draw...bad vibes..i wasso nervous i was shaking bad everything!!!

his gruul won eventually 2-0 lol

next game: dimir guy and his ever-endless shuffling haha everyday he's shuffling!!1

kidding aside...hahaha

first game was mine...second game was his...i got deck burned LOL

ain't that obvious?but i did a lot of misplays such as i should've played blood baron instead of jace ma

i should've canceled him...i should've placed the card at the bottom when i scry'd lol

too many to mention orz

moving on...to break the tie...we decided to dice roll and LUCKY me I was so UNLUCKY that day haha

he even won the dice roll lol sooooo closeeee

fcking close!

third game...my head feels stupid~it's palpating

hahaha but to cut it short~I had a great draw and great hands at hand while my opponent

is having his bad day...bad cards at hand...bad draw

so yeah I won...

I got myself a Theros booster pack

so my standing is 3wins and 3 loses

 I still got a long way to go...

I need more practice 

I need experience :3

Cosplay Feature: NIKKI for a COSPLAY DOCUMENTARY by PVT Channel 4

i got a call from PTV Channel 4 last month for another cosplay feature~yay!!!

(cosplaying as a female rune knight from ragnarok...sorry i lost my knee high socks so yeah my legs are bare)

but this time, it's for a documentary about cosplay here in the Philippines

different cosplayers raging from cross dresser, japanese fashion enthusiast, otaku blogger, mecha cosplayer,

cosplayers from a cosplay organization, cosplayer/freelance model and me ( a plain cosplayer LOL ) were invited for the documentary and were interviewed regarding cosplay/cosplaying and the different issues about cosplay/cosplaying here in the country

it is somehow an in depth documentary on how cosplay began here in the country

the how and why did the Filipinos started cosplaying

there were a lot of topics actually, but everything else basically revolves around COSPLAY itself :3

------------------------

i couldn't talk about it that much so yeah here's the BTS by sir xtianmak instead hihihi~

NIKKI as a POLL CLERK

My first ever Brgy. Election Poll Clerk Experience was a SUCCESS!!!

yes...i normally serve as a support staff at a precinct or at the principal's office

but this was different and new for me...

I was actually nervous at first for I don't know what to do

despite the fact that i attended the seminar for the barangay elections...I still feel clueless XD

but my chairman and third member were all kind enough to encourage and guide all through out this experience :3

our call time was 4:30 in the morning...

preparations were made and we even reviewed the sample video~LOL

we took this photo before the elections started around 6:30 in the morning :P

 (photo before the elections...look how fresh we were)

 (actual set up)

---------------

I thought it was hard, I thought I couldn't handle it...but I did

and it was actually easy...the procedures were easy during the actual voting...

voting was officially closed by 3:00 p.m. we immediately did the preparations for

appreciation of votes and so on...

we finished everything around 6:00 in the evening but waiting for our service to fetch us

to the area where we surrender the ballot box and other documents was a real pain

it took as i think almost 45 minutes while waiting for our service to come

which was... ehem... a dump truck...

yes trak ng basura po~

but despite feeling sorry we just enjoyed the ride and laughed it all off

(here's a photo with my chairman and third member at COMELEC right after we delivered the ER and other stuff)

we finished everything around 8:00 in th evening and I was at my house by 8:10 in the evening

Iwas really glad that I'm with my chairman and my third member they we're really kind and all <3

and I must say that we did well and we arrived home earlier than expected!

'til next elections :3

NIKKI AT PERSONAGE

PHOTO SET

---------------

actually, I began to question myself about the things that keep me going...

keep me cosplaying...

the community is very different now as compared before,

many cosplayers come and go

there are different views upon cosplaying and motives behind cosplaying

a hobby? a form of art?  an escape from reality? a career? a stepping stone? competition? work?

I don't know about yours...but whatever it is, let's just make this community work

let's make this hobby fun and just enjoy it like any other hobby there is

my feels:my life

during the start of this year (2013)

me and my cousins won the gangnam style dance contest hur-hur-hur

i also won 2nd place at a cosplay event

kim and my photo won 3rd place in a sylvanian family photo contest

my photo also won 1st place at crunchy roll's monster hunter photo contest

kim and i won best monster and best female respectively last level up live 2013

i got featured in different sites: magnetic rose.net, anibee.tv etc.

rakets here and there

i transferred grad school and enrolled for MAED this sem

i'm still a grade 3 teacher together with the osm people of grade 3

then i thought..."hey! i actually got a good head start!"

but conflicts came like pouring rain

it somehow crushed me

~my SIM only placed 3rd at a science fair

despite giving my all and sticking with the criteria and last year's tips during the division meet

~i won't be able to continue attending graduate school 

because we have a CATCH UP PROGRAM every Saturday 

(it's 16 Saturdays btw...14 more to go)

my entry for cosplay snapshot project 4 didn't make it :c

i'am really pissed right now...

i wanted a break...

i wanted to finish my masterals but stupid things happen

i wanted to grab every opportunity that i can but i can't

because of time...

classes were suspended...

~off to an interview

hope it'll be fine :c

MY Feels

WTF's wrong with my feels today?!

I'm still in a feel-train...

and this feeling is more than being down, depressed, frustrated, tired and fed up

~with work, with my schooling, with my pupils, with my dreams and specially with my partner

I always dream high...I always aim high!

but the risk here will always be from falling, losing and expecting too much

I entered an inter-school competition~I lost 

I was hoping to enter a cosplay competition with my partner~I lost hope and eventually gave up

I was feeling unloved~Ibroke up with my partner

Tired from all the school shiznitz~can't do anything about that though~

I am becoming sick and tired of all these shiz

 ~just wanna:

fck

nothing good is happening 

this week was really hellish

but still...no candy for me orz

i'm so frustrated with work

with that effin contest and its effin judges

work loads and such

half-assed costume

haf-assed partner

an up coming event

another competition

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

i'm going to die

Nikki's Friday Night Magic at Neutral Grounds ETON Centris

well... last night was osm~

kim and i went to divi for our cloth shopping

then afterwards.. we went to eton centris walk

we went to neutral grounds eton centris around 11pm

and toour surprise there are still Magic The Gathering players

it was a Friday Night Magic for everyone

though we weren't able to sign up for the FNM

but hopefully next time we could!

i was actually scared at first... 

new environment...new faces...new everything!

but i managed to gather my courage and ask a certain MTG player 

for a game before his turn in the tourney :3

he's cards are of course strong~like the other players

as expected from eton centris players~though he was kind enough

to play with me even though my deck is trashy lol XD

as for the game per-se...
i was actually winning it because of my good hand

i managed to counter his creature spells (good thing for my control deck~he's a mid-range player)

i was also able to cast my sorin LOI into play and placed 4counters on it hihi

i also casted my blood baron and then i played for the emblem :]

i actually got the upper hand on the game

but unfortunately, our game was stopped because it was already his

turn to play for the FNM tourney

owell~ that was one quite hell of an experience nikki :3

hooja! i hope to improve real soon with my skills, game play and deck

it's just that i'm still paying up something that i can't buy

the cards that i need for my blue-black-white deck 

gott'a bear with my poverty as for now

adios!

NIKKI:Studio Casual Shoot

I am so much getting my live action and manga marathon fix today
