Cebu Cosplay | ARCHCON 2010

i was expecting this event to be very big.... or majestic or whateverthatisgreat.
but my expectations were just plain high.

i expected lots of cool cosplayers with great costumes but to my dismay:
-many just recycled their costumes(for those attending the conventions for the last 3 months, they would notice. hey i know life is hard but, but, but wearing the same costumes for 3 straight events? come on)
-lots were cosplaying the same characters at the same time.(awkward since the other one is more accurate than the other)
-wrong interpretation of costumes
-wrong materials used. result? cheap looking costumes (i'm sorry but it is true.)
-cheap looking wigs>.< they look like shiny, shiny, SHINY plastic. ( i know wigs are expensive but there are people that will let you rent a decent wig. did you check yourself in the mirror before going out? you have a nice costume but your wig sucks. all your efforts will just go down the drain... or some of it)
-really, really, REALLY sucky props.(i appreciate your effort but could you at least even out the paint. if your prop is a black sword or something that is purely black, paint it all with black. don't leave the sides white exposing the material being used which is so not good to look at)
-the place was a bit small because of the Nat Geo thing there.
-i can't distinguish if it was a booth or just people sitting there chatting.
-cosplayers who signed up for the competition did not show up

the group cosplay was better. they were fun.

we arrived after lunch, maybe that is why i didn't enjoy the con. but what's the difference? cosplayers who joined the competition wont just go home after their walk on the runway. as i have checked on other peoples' pictures, we did not miss that much.

we didn't finish the event. we were on our way to eat snacks when we bumped into Nikki. teehee. then we had a little talk then finally said out goodbyes.

went to eat at Kenny Rogers since i promised to treat An2x. went to fully booked after dinner. then bumped into Chief a.k.a. Marvin Alan. talked a lot about books. what is good and what is not. i so want to read Hunger Games right now. the book we were looking for were not available (The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor and Highway to Hell by Rosemary Clement-Moore) if any of you have these books or know where to get them locally, please tell me.=D

well, i will be looking forward to the next otaku fest. if there is a next. hehehe
