Chara Expo X STGCC 2017

Hey guys! It's been a long time. I know that I have not been my geek self for the first half of 2017. The crazy schedule prevented me from getting all the good nerd stuff. But we all need to get the work life balance we all deserve, given how elusive it is. Haha~

I still consider myself lucky that even though I missed all the cosplay events in PH for the past months, I was given the chance to go to the biggest events in Singapore. Even luckier that I got to go with boyfie for the first time. Wheee~~ Finally, some time for work-life balance! I’m so ready to share them with you, guys!

Oh~ the places we went~~

Chara Expo and Singapore Toy Game and Comic Convention (STGCC) was going on at the same time. My date and I went to Chara Expo first. Man, it was packed! Yep, and it felt like home. Yay!

To Chara Expo~

This event is more on anime. Imagine my excitement as I saw the huge inflatable Titan Eren! I gotta take a pic with it! But I was too shy to take photos of the cosplayers so I only asked a few. There were toys on display there, too. There was this adorable Umaru-chan figurine that I couldn't resist.

Titan Eren is so huge!

Awww~~ so adorable! Already in love with this petite Umaru-chan nendoroid from Good Smile Company. It's one of my souvenirs from Chara Expo. From now on, it ain't leaving my side, ever! Expect more photos of this cutie pie in my IG feed. :3  #himoutoumaruchan #umaruchan #nendoroid #orange #goodsmilecompany #charaexpo2017 #charaexpo2017singapore

After Chara Expo, we went to Marina Bay Sands for STGCC. I've always wanted to go to this event like.. for so long as I can remember! Hehehe~ I missed Toy Con because I was on night shift. Sorry guys, but at least I can share this one with you. (^_^)v

I waited so long to get an STGCC wristband~~

One highlight that I was excited about was the Star Wars booths. We posed by replicas of Rey’s Speeder and Millennium Falcon! There was a TIE Silencer on display and Stormtroopers, too.

Feeling like Rey inside the Millennium Falcon! Wheee~~ (^_^)v #starwars #stgcc2017 #milleniumfalcon #starwarsfan #Singapore @singaporetgcc

Again, I was shy to ask for photos so I only have a few…

as Logan for X-Men

as Daenerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones

as Wonder Woman

But toys, well it's easier to take photos of them. Hehehe~

One of my favorite figures in the event. Love this Gaara! :)

Pacific Rim feels, man!

Who can resist BB-8?

Oh… one of the best parts was the Cafe of DC characters. Cupcakes, ice cream, and coffee! Wow!

Hero cupcakes, anyone?

Oooh~ more goodies!

Ice cream heroes!

Phew~ My feet were killing me at the end of the day. We enjoyed the events so much that we lost track of time. Even though I missed quite a few events in the Philippines, I feel really blessed that I managed to visit Chara Expo and STGCC. It was such a blast! Here’s to more visits in Singapore to see the conventions there! XD
