I just want to formally give my regards to you guys. I'll surely miss you and the conventions that I'm supposed to attend in for this year. For those who havent known yet, I'll be off to the US for the next 6 months (i'll be leaving either this Sunday evening or monday morning). Be back by the December, hopefully just in time to do another cosplay. I'll probably be back there for another six months..and if that happens, I'll be missing next year's AQ ;_; . But still, anything's possible. So, who knows? ^^

I'll try to keep in touch and post here as much as I can, like I'm doing the last few days. This a great place to post in. I really enjoy it here. And the people here are very nice. I hope it becomes more active. ^^

JM and Paul, I'm still in for our group cosplay but if you'll schedule it at a time wherein I wont be in the country, that's ok :) . You could keep in touch with Rikku Rose for the updates ^^, and I'll still help you with the preparations if you want even through email na lang. I'm sure you guys could pull it off perfectly (I'm really excited about it) ! I'm crossing my fingers that I could attend at least one con by December. Bahala na. I got so many cosplay plans, but I guess they have to wait. =)

Take care!! I'll miss you all!! *huggles everyone*

It's alright. It's a nice move and you'll learn a lot of new things from this trip (both related and not related to your profession), so it's worth the little sacrifices. Just take care of yourself, have as much fun as you can possibly have, and post as much as time permits you to.

:)

Ey take care Mina! Although we havent officially met (but pretty much bumped into each other, in costume nevertherless) i'd like to extend my best wishes and congratulations for having the opportunity of a lifetime!

I've given this advise before: If you ever go the US and have to deal with 6 ft ++ US behemoths who suddenly have malicious intentions, just give em the 'ol "uppercut-to-permanently-disable-his-ability-to-generate-decendants" technique. :cute:

Take care!

Yowzer.

lol, thanks for the advice eva_guy, I will keep that in mind. And hey, we met already. We actually had a pic together at the Sci-Fi con. I was the one cosplaying Rogue of X-Men Evolution. I also remember seeing you at the C3 con. You're the Rockwell guy right? I read about you in the CCrash issue number 10 - because you're one of the CC staff's fave cosplayers that didnt make it to the finals. ^_^

Thanks guys!

*6 months? ang tagal nun ah...

*baka magsisi ka pa kung di ka umalis...

*kailangan eh...

*bago ka umalis, will you marry me??

:P

seriously, i, and i believe the rest of local cosplaying community, are very proud of your achievements as a cosplayer and as an individual. with just a very short time, you've grown so much as a cosplayer and proven your worth. please take really good care of yourself. i will surely miss you.

*blushes* thanks. I'm very flattered. But dont forget that it's because of you that I inspired myself to do more difficult costumes. Before, I was content on making easy ones (i.e. Rinoa and Haruko of Slam Dunk) . I'll miss you too!!!!

hmm.. i haven't checked my mail for quite sometime now. sige po, check ko later. :) thanks huh? it would be better sana kung ikaw mismo ang magbibigay nun... and erm, gusto ko may dedication huh??

B)

lol! marrying cosplayers? Ilan na ba asawa mo Paul? Good thing you reminded me about the dedication. I almost forgot. mas ok nga sana kung ako magbibigay, kaso wala talagang time. ;_;

East coast ako dark_moon!! Washington DC yung office. Maryland naman yung hotel namin. Hey, we could meet there! I heard there are cons there by summer. Punta tayo. I'll bring my Rinoa costume XD kung pwede sana yung lulu kaso hirap isuot. ;_; Di ba nag-Lulu ka rin?

Take care, good luck, God speed and God bless.

The sig you made for me will serve as a memorabilia. We'll surely miss you ;_; :)

O_o"""

does being agnostic counts?

*imagines Paul as Robin Padilla* :lol:

Wow! Yehey!! Makakapagcosplay din pala tayo! Umm..I dunno about my Lulu costume, pero subukan kong dalhin kung may room pa sa maleta ko (hanggang 35 kilos lang eh). But for sure, I'll just bring the Rinoa one. I'm getting excited na tuloy!! XD I'll be at maryland btw, it's around DC rin naman eh.

hey, dont forget the Philippine flag as well ^_^ See you there ok??? :)

Gusto mo bang I-PM sakin number mo dun? para ma-contact kita. Kelan ba ang dating mo dun? =)


:peace:

Oh shit. I COMPLETELY missed this... :angry: --;

Mina, if ever you read this ... Godspeed. Hope you arrived in good condition. Take care of yourself and don't lose yourself in the rut of things American, ok? We will always love you, so if you need us just holler! ;)
<huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug> ;_;

Darna? ako si na lang si Ding. Si Gem si Darna. :lol:

thanks for everything. This is gonna be my last post here from the office. I do hope I could get online this weekend. BUt I'll be very busy, so I am not sure.

*huggles everyone* I'll try to post even when I'm there. I need an inet connection. lol

ooooooooooooh mina where you sa US? medyo tinatamad nako magbasa ehh... me din ehhh maybe this october to study there... *sigh* --; --; :unsure: :(



(west coast sana!!!!!!!! hehehe)

Otakon is a big and annual anime convention in Baltimore (and also the whole U.S.)- I just forgot when it's held, but I think you'll be able to catch it.

BTW, I think MD and NY is a bit far from each other, better check if you can meet! ^^

I think it's possible. I have a friend in new york too, he said we could meet. ^__^

Dark_Moon, I'll just PM you my cell number. I hope we could communicate a bit before I leave on Monday to confirm on how we could contact each other. When are you leaving? I talked to a friend of mine in the US. She said Otakon will be held August 8th-10. I'll be meeting her there as well (she will be cosplaying Lenne,we could all be together). XD She sent me this info.Seeing that it's in Maryland, I wont have trouble going there I guess:

Check this site:
