Cosplay Mania 2016

Okay, the date might confuse you. But yeah... I'm writing about Cosplay Mania 2016. When I was writing my blog post for Cosplay Mania 2017, I found out that I had the 2016 one in the drafts with only three paragraphs. Life became so hard for me and coping up was the priority. Eventually, I moved on until I forgot about it. 

So here I am making up for lost time. Yeah... life is still as crazy as ever but I just can't let go of something unfinished. I will share with you the photos and whatever memory I had from last year's event. It was a huge difference from this 2017. Yep, there was a queue, but it won't take you hours. The crowd was bearable to say the least. 

Cosplay Mania 2016 happened on the month of October. It was probably the only cosplay event I went to for that year. Yep, I'm not kidding when I say that life gave me a lot of challenges. It was held at SMX Convention Center. I went there only on Day 2, as my schedule permitted. It was nice to see myself surrounded with colorful costumes and geeky stuff again. Wheee~


I got the gold ticket!

There were activity and merchant booths. The first booths that I went to were the NHK booth where they gave Domo-kun prizes and the Green Tea Kitkat booth for a free photobooth and samples. Freebies galore!

My Kitkat green tea and photo. Cute cosplayer!

My gold ticket enabled me to access the performance stage. And oh, here are my real time Instagram posts about it. Told you I had a few evidence of my time there. Hahaha~ It was a nice opportunity to be able to take photos of the the guest international cosplayers. Oh~ And my crush Kaname was there! Hihihi~ Here I am getting all kilig again. \(^_^)/

Of course, as usual, I opted to take photos of cosplayers in the event. I recognized a few foreign cosplayers there, like @phildukemaggio and the Wolverine cosplayer (which I also saw last STGCC in Singapore). I took photos of cosplayers inside the halls, as there were still space to move about. However, the lighting outside was better for taking photos... makes my life easier... hehehe...

The event is not complete without toys. I didn't join in making Gundams. I just took photos of the few Gundam toys on display at the Gunpla booth.






Toys, cosplay, and seeing my cosplay idols made up my Cosplay Mania 2016. Yep, you can read between the lines that I had one great time! Got a lot of loot, too... Wheee~~
