"I Want More"

One of the beautiful and nice cosplayers at the event

     "They had gone better."  This year, for the UP AME, they had strive to success.  The recent UP AME entitled AME Monogatari held last November 12 at the World Trade Center was a blast.  It was worth it.  The fun, the people, the booth, the place, and the entertainment fused a very great principle for the event.  Compared last year, they made a full return with an interest for there err as this event took its place.

     The event, AME track 10 Rhapsody of the rain, was a convention last year for UP AME.  It was  November 6 of 2010, in hall 2 of SMX Convention Center at the Mall of Asia Complex.  The place  was not suited for all the people who want to go in the event.   Some cannot enter the venue because it was over crowded.  But hey!  This year was different.  The entertainment for the event  was  great.   There were bands, cosplay competition,  and some portions too.  The laughing moment during the event was the cosplay competition.   All  the participants was very great.  They have  there own way to showcase there work.   The thing that I just point at them is,  if they don't hit the mike, they would almost hit the host.  What I"m really proud of was the maintenance that come up to the stage just to keep the safety  of the cosplayers because of the confetti that was being used for there show.  He was  given a round-of-applause  for that  and I also solute him for this job.  Thank you sir maintenance without you, the event wouldn't be that a success for your aid.  Moving on,  the place was World Trade Center.  Its a big place.  Also, its air conditioned so that heat for the outside would be dispersed if you come in.  The booth it was superb yet there were few anime store at the event.  But,  why would you look for anime store if the merchandise that you would need is already there.  The Sugar free and Blue, there merchandise of Gothic dress was cool.  If you want to purchase  from the, you could contact them at 713-28-77.  There dress was very food and high quality.  I really suggest them if you fashion suits there merchandise.  The  sumo wrestling booth made me laugh because of how they do the challenge.  Some games, foods, and the free Cobra energy  drink.  I was really  thirsty when they gave me a free one  of those, thank you so much.  It was just perfect when that drink was given to me because  I was really looking for a drink by then, and to my surprise,  a free-taste of Cobra energy drink was handed to me.  What I really like from the booths was the Geishas Blade.  I would really want to purchase  one of there items.  If I have  the cash by then, I would had buy one of those.   Just check Geishas Blade if you want to know what I'm saying.  Next, the people, there were lots of them.  I would want to make pictures  of different  people there specially the cosplayers.  They were friendly too.  Being nice in an event with other people  would surely make a great deal for an event because it would might give you a new friend.  Lastly, the fun, screaming and laughing inside the event truly made it worth every cent.  There ticket cost 150 pesos yet what I really paid for is the fun. 

     Some of the family members was there the Cloud Guardian and the Rain Guardian was present.  The Eric Lacarde cos for one f the guardian was nice.  Anyway, the family was  there to have some great time and for sure, it was claimed.  This event i a two-thumbs-up.  Hope next year is alot better.   Eventually, the Mist Guardian was also present in  the event.  The Sky Guardian didn't saw his Mist Guardian there  yet it just suits her characteristics, "The one that can't be caught."  Happily, the family was there and made another memory to cherish.

     To wrap this thins up, AME Monogatari earns a salute from the family.  See you again next year.  God bless and more power.

"Heaven And Death"

Heaven and Death

     Heaven prevails  the works of a just while Death is inevitable for a living creature.  Two different persona but there is one similar point out, a connection to Hell.  We all know that Heaven always oppose the action of Hell but for Death, a sudden side is inconsistent.  People believe that Death is an alliance of Hell.  It is not true.   Death only connects the path f the inequity to them.  They make the living give there proper reward after life.  Moreover, Death benefits in the words of Heaven due its existence belong to them.
     Acquainted, they may be connected to each other.  I can't call Heaven and Death as friends for I don't have any evidence about that.  Let me see, friends are connection which attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.  This is the definition of friends.  In feelings of affection,there is no entry about that but in personal regard, I think there is.  Death conveys  a personal acquisition to lead a none living  to there path.  This is there job.  I know Heaven always made a good connection to Death so fort they have nice flow  of communication.  On the other hand,   Death always choose the side of Heaven whenever Hell made a move to destroy them.  It is just that, for the reason of equality and cycle.
     There are times that Heaven and Death doesn't conduct an identical reason.  One will work according for its own objective.  A situation existing between friends.  Sometimes, they cannot help you for some apparent issue yet a friend do aid  as much as they can.   This is very  certain nowadays.  I simply hope it would be a great day tomorrow although things aren't going well here.  Just like what Shoji Kagami  said to describe a friend, "There is no perfect friend but trying to be one is worth it."

"The Biggest Names: Cosplay.ph, CNPH, and CPG"

NOTE:  Organizations are not to scale.  They are just opinions of the author.  Further more intentions are void.

     

     In cosplaying, there are groups or organizations that are always present.  They are always there to organize the event or simply to participate.  I always come to hear this organization when a cosplay occur so I simply gather them up here.

Cosplay.ph Avatar

http://cosplay.ph/news.php

     The very famous of them all, Cosplay.ph, they were there even there even when facebook doesn't already exist.  There website is the most prominent site if you come to be a cosplay event attendee.  They set dates from where and when an event will be held and for it, they truly deserve there place in this community.  This group has a page on thee site which contains a calendar that enlist all events within a month.  I know, they are the first one who come up with that idea.  And for that, coplayers even an ordinary event attendee can easily access on recent event.

  

http://www.facebook.com/cosplaynetwork.ph?v=app_7146470109

     Then come CNPH. They are like Cosplay.ph that settles events and photos for the cosplayer yet they do it n far more unique way.  CNPH stands for Cosplay Network Philippines, I know everybody know that , except you aren't familiar in the cosplay community, you wouldn't know them.  CNPH is far more active in facebook so they come to arise quickly.  Also, they have there own Photographers and that's why they come very known for cosplayers.  For they are the one who took pictures of cosplayers, put there watemark on it, and put it on the facebook so people will easily share there photos.  I think that they are pushing blogspot right now. For in there, news and certain articles about cosplayers are being post.  Moreover, they have to be very clever to think of ideas such as that.

http://cpguild.multiply.com/

     Next is CPG.  As far as I see, they seems identical to the earlier organizations yet this one focuses on photography.  CPG means Cosplay  Photographers Guild, an organization that concentrates about cosplay photos.  This group seems to have the numerous account inside the web.  I don't want to recall them yet there is one which always reminds me of them, there deviant art account.  Its because of them, I remember that photos can also be submitted to that website.  I only come to submit my artwork there whenever I have funds to scan my works. For it, CPG is know for for the cosplay community.
     In addition, if your inside the otaku community, much more broad in the cosplay community, you will come to recognize this two respected name: The Anime Alliance and PAO.  These two created a name and excelled by there own fields.

http://www.animeallianceph.co.nr/

  I'll introduce first Anime Alliance.  They come to organize events,just like the others,and participate in them too.  They have there facebook account, and by it, I can often follow the events they handle, and participate.  This group seems to be present is some biggest events in cosplaying.  For it, they aren't just an ordinary organization by then.

pao's page

     Finally, I personally included PAO because this group may have a good agenda.  Philippine Anime Otaku is the meaning of PAO.  This group suits to help those lonely attendees inside an event.  They have text clan, cosplay group plans, and seasonal group activity.  Its always nice to go in an event with a group because courage is always needed upon participating a cosplay event.  Originally, its founder is Yuki Seto then some continued its goals for the group.  And due for there actions, I wrap this article with them as the finishing touch.
     There are many groups or organizations that are well-known in Otaku community and cosplay community.  I will not try to put them all, for my time will not be enough if I insert them here.  Although these names stands out, every group is remarkable on there own works and I still recall them though they are not included here.
