from kAME ulit. Forgive me, I haven't slept properly for the past 3 days, and my body has yet to return to it's normal(?) state. Also, most of the pictures here are crap. Not because of the subjectsokaymaybesomeofthem but because of my jittery hand (from 2 days of no sleep), the fine mist that the overhead electric fans kept spraying the crowd to help keep cool (but wrecked havoc on the pictures), and the plethora of lights (rotating stage lights, the syncopated flash of the cameras... argh) that ruined most shots. And some pictures I had to digitally manipulate because you just can't plain see anything in them. Yesterday was a baaad day for me to take pics.

Though it did not stop me from being one of the hyper, screaming fangirls in the audience ^^;

oh, and i borrowed the Holy Sword that cosplayerKamui had with him and took pictures of queen_akasha72 holding the darn thing. it was simple and nice ^_^ but being the plucky nitpick that I am (and since they are cosplaying CLAMP characters), I'd emphasize on detail. dammit someday i'm going to eat those words

( sword pics )

I took a lot of pics, but as mentioned above, most are crap. oh, and kudos to juworu for their Guild Wars cosplay, easily the most beautiful and worthy costumes of the event (ehehe. sensya. saka na lang yung pics nyo).

I sort of have this droning rabble about the state of cosplaying here in the Philippines (okay, okay, in Metro Manila to be more specific), but I think it deserves a whole new entry of it's own. It'll also give me a chance to gather my thoughts into one coherent... er, composition.
