Went to ALA on Saturday in this cosplay. I made teh whole thing myself.. except the hakama, because my friend had a red one (for one of her cosplays) I can use so I don't need to slave on them; we made hakamas one year for a group Bleach cosplay, and it was madness 9_9. So... anyone know who I am? ;x

Hint: video game character!!







..OK I CAN'T HOLD IT IN I WAS COSPLAYING AS A RONIN! ~(♥u♥)~ Female Ronin from Disgaea.

A few of my friends and I did a little cosplay group of Disgaea! Instead of doing pictures, we did a video instead. Waiting for the editing... and I already know I looked stupid. Aside from that, I think a few photographers took my photo, so I will post if I can find the pics!

Also I did not plan on buying anything at exhibition hall this time. I keep telling myself: Y U BUY PLUSHY N NO USE? WAYST MONEH! (in an asian parent accent -insert appropriate meme-) So I vowed to not buy plushies. Ever.

..then I bought one. -smacks forehead-

BUT I SWEAR I HAD TO GET IT. For those of you who know me well, I LOVE Mickey Mouse (probably more than Gloomy Bear -gasp-) ♥!! So I was walking around the hall... then I saw this:

私はミクリです~ ♥

HOW DO I REFUSE SUCH CUTENESS?! And it has the appropriate month on it too! SO CUTE! I honestly saw him and started haggling with the salesman to mark it down for me. In the end I get $5 off since I saw a broken stitch, resulting in a little hole (but I fixed it so he's ok! ♥). Honestly I got so excited, I started sweating a little... and squealing a LOT. ._. so embarrassed, but at least it's at a con so it's normal!

And the reason why I really wanted this little plush is because it is the handheld version of the one I can never find... UNLESS I GO TO JAPAN. NO MONEY LA! \(; A ;)/

I will be forever happy when I get this one. ♥ That's right, WHEN. -( ; . ; )-

As for my feelings for today..

..Today is another day I get to look into the sky and appreciate what I have. No matter how hard life sometimes appears to be, there is always someone else who has it harder. Love your life and keep living it until it's half-full instead of half-empty!

Strange weather we have been getting here! Don't know what is up with that.

And I am STILL craving that pudding milk tea!

Ironed THREE yards of fabric for my cosplay. This is what I get for pre-washing fabric. Updates on my cosplay for ALA soon!

haven't shown my face in a while. this was...two months ago? gomen~ ♥

HOW WAS EVERYONE'S THANKSGIVING? i got really plumpy and full for...a while. -pass out-

since everyone was busy shopping for Black Friday, koto, stae, ana, and i decided to do some fabric shopping instead! derp derp, we are so lame!

So I drove over to koto's house since everyone was meeting there, and then i drove (I know right, ME?!) to Fashion District in Downtown L.A. to get some shopping done since... ana persuaded  koto and mikan to do a cosplay with her. WHICH COSPLAY HMMM?? ;x i will say when the time gets closer!

but because we are girls and we take our time with things, we got hungry before we even got there -(x_x;)- and so we decided to grab food first! first stop, Chado Tea Room!

the place is awesome!  my first time there was when it was koto's birthday, and we liked it so much that we went back! the tea selection is HUGE (as you can see from photo!), and i can tell because when the server handed me the menus, the biggest one was for teas! i originally thought it was the food menu ~(=.= ~). the tea is really nice, you can order by pot, cold or hot, and the pricing is VERY reasonable! the food is also amazing! check out their website and find one near you, really, it's awesome! e_e;

 my food! at least i remembered to take a pic with my cell! ♥

so after we ate we had to run back to the car because our meter was running out...but again, because we are girls (pahahaha! ;x) we got distracted when we passed by the Tokyo store! the store is like a mini market with figurines, plushies, bento boxes, makeups, cookware, anime DVDs, and more! like really, guys and girls can go in and get stuck there for some time! we got distracted and made some purchases. i ended up buying one pair of falsies and a glue, since my glue dried out and i wanted to try new falsies style.

my "black friday" purchase! never used clear adhesive, hope it's ok!

 

so sorry i forgot to take pictures since i was busy staring at falsies and chatting with the girls x_x;. ANYWHO, we FINALLY ended up purchasing our fabric after like..4 hours of procrastination. will show progress pictures or final picture when i'm done sewing!

anyone going to ALA (Anime Los Angeles)? i haven't been to a con in so long! i miss all my cosplayer friends and cafe peeps ♥
