Cosplay and a Beat. :))

Just Shantal:

     I am alive again. :) They may say it's the end of the world but mine isn't over yet. I have to go cosplay on the 29th at Megamall. And now I have to finally cut my fringe to look like this:

     This one's the cut. (I do not own the picture.) Just a few slashes off this bunch of hair that I have and that's it. I just don't know if I have to color it to a lighter shade of brown or what.

     Here is the original character. Her name is Yuuki Kuran/Cross, a character from the anime Vampire Knight. She has this very long brown hair and awesome bangs. My hair isn't this long but I think what I have will be okay.

 

   This picture has the costume and almost the hair. I don't know if thin full bangs will work. I will soon print these pictures and show them to whoever will cut my hair .

Journalist:

     I have already cancelled our plan (my best friends and I) to go cosplaying on the 29th. But my professor in the subject Introduction to Journalism gave us our beats (the place/area assigned to a journalist to cover) and mine was in Megamall, where the cosplay will take place. And because it is so, I brought back the plan and now we're already preparing for it. That means, I should interview other cosplayers and make an article about it (or just a feature) for the midterms. That is, while I am cosplaying, myself . :))

Christmas is really right around the corner. :)

Just Shantal:

     My parents and I decided to go to Cubao, specifically around the Araneta Coliseum where there are what they call "Banchettes" which probably meant those food stalls at the parking lot. What we really went there for is the Christmas tree which appears to be so charming ..and so gigantic. It has all those long LED lights that look like falling rain. Just after we parked, we walked along the sidewalk and then saw that people seemed to be waiting for something and then a host on a stage started to count down. It turns out that we were lucky to be there just in time to see the fireworks display that only happens every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Today is a holiday since it's a Philippine hero, Andres Bonifacio's birthday, we had time to go there. 

     There were also those huge figures formed by Christmas lights. They were in the shapes of seahorses, fishes (specifically a clown fish), dolphins, and flowers. I saw a good view of this Gumamela flower-shaped figure of lights with the sight of the Araneta Coliseum name lights, along with the bridge connecting Farmers' Plaza and Gateway mall through the coliseum. 

     The food there was great even if they were the ordinary ones we'd see along the streets of Manila. There were the different meals with SInangag (fried rice) and itLOG (egg) with different viands to choose from that makes the "SILOG", like TAPa (dried meat) + SInangag + itLOG = TAPSILOG that they serve it in small styro bowls.

     After we ate, we walked around and saw that there were choirs onstage, they might be singing for a contest. As we walked, I saw this stall that had Korean Ice Cream, the same as the ones they sell in our cafeteria. I bought the cookies and cream-flavored ice cream that came in between two thin chiffon slices. We continued walking around as I ate, and then they bought ice cream from Dairy Queen. When they got theirs, we sat somewhere in front of the newly built entrance of the Araneta Coliseum. Just about when we finished our ice creams, someone told us that it was prohibited to sit on that gutter, and so we walked to the parking lot and went home.

     I really appreciate the fact that my dad took us here. The whole place was almost like Christmas town and the breeze is already cold. My mom and him thought about going back tomorrow night to see the other side of the place which also have their own "banchettes" and stalls that sell different lanterns. We'd also want to try riding the shuttle that goes around the area without charge. I enjoyed myself and that time that I didn't really want to end although my body was already starting to hurt.

May the spirit of Christmas come to you as early as possible. ^_^

Art Fair ! :D

Just Shantal:

     Me and my older cousin, Ate Katrina, went to an art fair that she told me about. I thought that when you say "art fair", it would be mostly full of paintings and stuff, but I would probably enjoy that as well. But when we went inside, there was a lot of stalls with things like accessories, personalized items, and recycled ones. They were amazing and I was glad that she brought me there.

     This ring has the Manila City Hall on it. I bought it because it is near Intramuros, where my university is, so I am so familiar with this place. I am glad that there is 23060 that promotes Philippine landmarks and puts them where people would actually appreciate them, too. I bought this adjustable ring for only 200 pesos, and it was totally worth it. :)

     The bracelet around the ring has a teapot, a French coin, a camera, a butterfly, and an Eiffel Tower charm on it so I really could't resist on buying it this afternoon. I bought it for only 120 pesos. I love it and I really would want to wear it everyday, but I'm very afraid to lose it.

     This is the only calling card I have left. I got this from a booth that sells cute plush hats and neko (cat) ears. I saw one kid in a blue shirt that bought Finn the Human's hat and green bag. I was really amused with the stuff from adventure time!!! They also had a Jake the Dog plush hat, and a reversible Jake-and-Finn backpack worth 1,500 pesos. I would really want that one. 

     I also saw a pair of canvass shoes that has Finn on the other shoe, and Jake on the other. It was worth 600 pesos so I m thinking of saving money for it so after two months and we go there again, I could buy it already. There was a large plushie of Beemo, Finn, and Marceline that costs 600 pesos each. They also have necklaces of handmade Jake the Dog and Marshall Lee pendants which were adorable.

                  I am certainly looking forward to the next time that the fair will be there again. :D

I learned Ordertaker!! :)

Musician:

     I tried to make a cover of Parokya ni Edgar's Ordertaker, featuring Kamikazee. Every time I'd try to record, there will be that noise outside, either it's an ice cream vendor, motorcycles, cars, buses that beep loudly, trucks, or a howling or barking of dogs that really disturbs. I hated that, I really wish my room was soundproof like in recording studios. Anyways, I only started learning this song late afternoon yesterday. I was really surprised that I learned it easily, in like.. 15 minutes? Then I carried on. This song is Filipino, everyone reading this should know. It's actually a parody of Chop Suey and Toxicity, as they say. But this song and the way to play it is awesome. At least I did something productive two days before my semestral break ends, coz tomorrow will be my first day of the second semester. Oh man, a new start, new subjects, new professors, probably new friends who are irregulars, and new long schedules. Anyway, I miss my org so much. I really wanna see them again and jam with them with this song. That will be rockin'. :)

"Pa-order, Pa-order!"

The second semester is coming!

Just Shantal:

     So yeah, the enrollment for the second semester of my first year in college is on the 5th and the first day's on the 10th. I don't even know how to enroll all by myself. I haven't tried yet, since this is my first year. They said it would be different than enrolling for the first time. Which means, the enrollment procedures that I will be encountering on the next semestral enrollments will be how my second semester enrollment will be. My mom wouldn't be with me on the 5th, and I don't know if I will be seeing a block mate of mine to talk to or ask assistance from. Maybe having friends in the college student council is really helpful. I befriended the auditor and the 1st year representative. They are really good people, though they are both guys. If I may not see someone else I know, I'd be lucky enough to find them not busy with anything so I could ask them.

     Reviewing my semestral break, it was not all productive. I just spent a lot of time and money going back and forth Quezon City and Bulacan alone. Good thing is, I haven't been in any accident YET. My boyfriend doesn't mind anyway. I just experienced washing a week load of clothes by myself, I went swimming with my best friend, and blogged. :) The PS2 was taken back by my cousin, but he did not ask permission from me to borrow my copy of Kingdom Hearts II, how dare he. As of now, I am looking forward to a photo shoot with my cousin themed "Wonderland". It also is a party so I think I'll enjoy, though I don't know anyone except for her in the party.

     It has almost been a week since I decided to deactivate my Facebook account to prevent myself from posting a lot of things and about how JM makes me feel lately. But just today, I activated it again but plan on deactivating it again very soon. I just wish my Sims Social isn't affected in doing so. But I guess I'll have to keep it this way because my cousin said she will communicate with me through Facebook of what I have to wear for the photo shoot, maybe. After that, I'll probably deactivate it already, but not for good.

     I also want to go shopping in Greenhills or in a thrift store to buy cute dresses or just pieces of clothing to match with anything. I have that gray Aeropostale hoodie in mind, and I want to buy it as soon as the second semester starts. Also, I want a beanie-type hat in Artwork. I just hope that everything I want to buy will be in my budgeted one-week allowance.

I have become a shoppaholic. Oh man, THAT IS NOT GOOD. >.<

Got back home.

Just Shantal:

     I went to Bulacan again on the 29th of October to see JM, of course. I have been experiencing a whole lot of disappointments lately. He was the first to say that he wanted to see me and go to my house, he asked permission to. I told him I'd be waiting but he said he wouldn't be coming anymore. It was natural and tolerable for me to be disappointed at that time coz  he said he was coming but can't because he and his family are going to a birthday party. I let the day pass without being with him, or seeing him, even. He also told me that the day after that, he wouldn't be able to come to my house, too, for a friend of his will be celebrating his birthday. I became kind of doubtful about that but figured out a way not to. Luckily, my best friend, Farrah, is coming over because we had plans to go swimming that day. We went on without JM and enjoyed a little.

     It was Wednesday, the 31st, Halloween, I asked him if he could go to my house even for that morning. He wasn't returning my texts so I decided to call him around noon and he said that he just woke up. That was rude, but I know he deserves sleep. Because of his "late awakening", he couldn't come anymore. That time was wasted. REALLY WASTED. Those three days that I spent staying in my house, waiting to be with him really went straight to waste. I kind of wished that I didn't go home anymore. Though I had some time with my best friend, JM's absence really left a hole inside me. I hate that feeling. It made me think that JM doesn't want to be with me anymore.

     Lately, I have been talking to my best friend, my cousin, and her ex (which by the way became my friend) telling them that I felt JM being cold. Some things about that matter have been settled with him. He told me that he was just busy. I also figured out that if I sought more attention, he'd lose his focus on a lot of things. It's just that I can't accept how much he's changed in a flash. It's like I've done something wrong for him to be like that. We are better now, but there is still that small of a doubt that he may be not that into me anymore. Just sayin'. If he doesn't change on being like this, then maybe there'll be no hope for us anymore.

Will I be forever alone though we are "together" ? </3
