Last Saturday — September 15, 2012 — I packed my bag and got ready to go to Talisay City in order to attend and compete in Home Radio’s 3rd Cosplay Competition. I really love going to new places! And cosplay really enables, or rather, compels me to go to these places that I’ve never been before!
Previously, we had planned to compete in the competition with our FMP skit (that we gave during Hobcon ’12) but we couldn’t trim the skit down to 5 minutes (the limit for this competition’s group category) and so the challenge was brought to me and Ciejie’s plate to compete using our Super StreetFighter IV Chun-Li vs. Sakura Kasugano skit. So we practiced on and off for one week and guess what — it still wasn’t enough! Hahaha. Well, I guess, that’s the thing with skits incorporating action scenes, if you want a believable one then you gotta prepare yourself for sudden adlibs.
After we gave our performance, we felt super anxious for the results. We committed so many mistakes! Truthfully, we were prepared to lose but unbelievably we won! We were jumping gleefully onstage when the results were announced! I couldn’t be more grateful to the judges!
Next up is Cosplaymania 2012 in Manila. That’s next week already! The excitement is building up! Hehehe. I’ll be cosplaying with the whole Oversoul gang and this’ll be our first out-of-town two-nights out adventure! What’ll happen? We don’t know yet. Hehehe.
And so I bid farewell for now… Adieu adieu! But before that I leave you with a picture of me as Sakura Kasugano taken by cosplay photographer Maki Kazagami. :-*
Alekz as Sakura
