Revel peeps participated in indie tiangge selling. I prefer the place more because Megatrade Halls are accessible to attendees even outside the vicinity of Mega Manila.

I like the atmosphere of the event. Again, for the fourth time, our booth is near the speaker. XD. We sold pins, comics and even made our prices down since there are titles that I want to dispose already.

Mitch visited our booth. She's a CCCOM fan and it's her second convention. She's pretty much busy with everything that she missed all those years. Anyway, thanks for the feedback on our stories. Some people inquired about my 'The Writer' story. I'm planning to officially halt it and revise great partials for the better. Even the title and logo will be revised. So, I'm very sorry for this. I feel so stupid releasing titles and can't continue them. I'll be doing better this time. I promise.

I officially inform you guys that Revel will be a 10 member group now. Two of our members, Eri and Borg, decided to leave for their future pathways. It was pretty sad but I'm in no position to stop them. Their opportunities are coming and supporting them would be the best option for both parties. I'm really happy for them and I wish them the best of luck.

Because we were really really really busy. Cindy and I had to set our cosplay plans aside for a while. Our costumes were done, few props were polished for the title, Kuroshitsuji. This title is basically set in Victorian era. So gothic lolita and aristocrat outfits for the characters. My sister's a fan, Cindy's a fan, --- and I was dragged.

It started when Cindy really really really wanted to cosplay the twelve year old Earl of the Phantomhive manor, Ciel Phantomhive. However, Ciel Phantomhive is not complete without his loyal butler, Sebastian Michaelis. When I heard 'BUTLER', I know I NEED to participate. So Tadah! LOL! I asked sis about the details since I'm not aware of it first. Ironically, it was under a SHONEN genre but the manga and anima features hints about *cough* forbidden love *cough* between *cough* a butler *cough* and *cough* the young *cough* earl *cough**cough**cough**cough*. Nonetheless, the story's nice and both manga and anime executed great humor. It's an ongoing serialized series, btw.

Kuroshitsuji is translated as Black Butler. It tackles the story of a young Earl who had a Faustian contract with a demon to protect him, his manor and his assets in exchange for his soul. It was later revealed that the demon becomes the Earl's butler which was named after the Earl's favorite dog, Sebastian.

I like the costume because it is elegant. So I commissioned Sir Buddy Chiu (I want noBuddy NoBuddy Buddy Chiu. *claps and points* LOL!) for the Sebastian Michaelis costume. While Ms. Lalaine Hontares handled Cindy's costume. When we both finally had our free time, our excitement's just beyond comparison because we can finally cosplay together. LOL!

The event was our debut as a cosplay couple. It was also Cindy's official debut in cosplaying events. We were with my sister to meet Cindy again in her cosplay event. I cosplayed Sebastian for the second time already. The first time was in Cosfusion. My wig failed then so I revised the wig. Well, the wig kinda failed again. LOL!

It was an awesome day! Just when we entered the event, people warmly gives us feedback about our costume and our tandem. The day ended nice.

For the second time, we cosplayed again as Kuroshitsuji's main players. We had fun! I was with Ellie and Patt as our make up artists. XD. Patt's a part time tattoo artist, btw. LOL!

There are booths that I missed seeing because my partner walks so fast. I even tend to pull her costume's tail when there were people asking for photos and she's still walking forward. I love you Bebe Cindy! My fave part was when people requested poses and they really like those fanservice poses. When you see those girls grinning, EPIC. I think the best feedback I heard was, " You two look adorable together." That line boosted my energy. I really felt great when people find our couple cute! Thank you very much!

The event's very nice, I like the programs and the activities. The space's very nice, you can't feel the heat. LOL! I was wearing 3 layers of clothes and Cindy's 4. We also like the lighting of the location. Suits the event so much!

Quite disappointing experience during the event:
There was a certain hyper lady who hugged and carried Cindy. I was dismayed that very moment because part of Cindy's costume was carried by me. I'm actually holding the tail part of her victorian outfit. I thought, the costume was destroyed but thankfully it wasn't. However, Cindy's hat did fell. The stranger was also cosplaying as one of Kuroshitsuji's characters and she's a total stranger. I politely told her that we need to go to a place where we can fix our costumes. Lame excuse but yeah, impromptu.

It's wrong 'to instantly hug and carry a complete stranger' no matter how I see it.

Will be there to visit a friend's booth. I will wear my geta and black yukata for the event to match the event's theme, Jidai era.
I will be participating in an art contest. It's been a while since I last joined an art contest. Ahhh, brings back memories! See you there!

White Tiger photoshoot. I bought two masks last month, black and white. It was a prep for Halloween since I barely have free time back then. So during breaks and after work hours, I tend to hangout in Ortigas to paint the masks, draw illustrations and do some exercises.

:thumb144754058::thumb144290786::thumb143994474:

Anyway, I just had a random concept regarding the mask decided to have photoshoot. I used my old white shirt and painted it with acryllics and textile paints. I matched the designs I put in the mask to the shirt.

Thanks for viewing this series.
