This past Saturday was the Summer Festival presented by ARC.
The event started at 2pm but I didn't get around until a little after 4pm, no surprise there.
I was planning to wear Lion Sheryl because I figured July should be really hot!
I was so wrong...
In the end, when I woke up-- it was cold and raining outside.
So I decided to wear something layered or fully covered.
I was thinking of wearing Wako but in the end, I thought I'd try wearing my Kyoko cosplay from last year's AX that I never wore out.
I did wear my Wako wig for it though... it was a bit too yellow in my opinion but it still worked.
It was so embarassing so to wear such a flashy costume so I tried my best to make it as cool as possible.
=___="
...I figured if I rolled up the sleeves I'd look cooler, hahaha~ orz
It was alright. I had to borrow my mother's sneakers since I don't own a pair of white sneakers.
I was happy to be able to see all my friends again, was nice since it had been a while.
We didn't really do much and honestly, the event itself was rather boring >A<
The only good part about it was Rai's performance which was awesome!
She has a really beautiful voice ;A;
...it was my first time seeing her perform actually~ hehe
Really envious =3= My voice is nasally-sounding and weird XD"
Heather and her friend, Colleen killed some time by drawing pictures as Ashirogi Muto.
In the end, I wasn't able to get my drawing done until dinner time =u="
BUT I WAS THE LAST PERSON AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ;A;
Here's a camwhore shot of me in my Kyoko cosplay~ the only picture I have xD"
I kind of want to do a proper photoshoot for it but it's so embarassing to wear it out in public...
I think I have an idea of where I could go though. I'll think about it, hahaha~
Soon after Rai's performance, we all decided to head over to Red Robin's nearby for dinner.
It was nice on my part meeting new people who also love cosplay!
We had seriously interesting/serious conversations but I love that aspect.
While waiting for our food, I got my picture drawn from all the way across the table by Colleen and Heather!
It's pretty~ do I look similar? 8DDDD
Kinda? Maybe? No?
hahaha |||Orz
Anyways, after dinner was time to go home!
Since we were basically borderline of 2 cities I'm extremely unfamiliar with, I got a bit lost trying to drive home. T__T"
I didn't have my GPS with me so I counted on my iPhone's map... I didn't know which direction I head to head over to until I started moving around.
So many U-turns, it sucked big time D= I hate driving alone too!
I feel like every time I go out with my cosplay friends, they challenge me to drive to new places all the time cause I'm always getting lost xDDD
Anyways, it's all good!
I made it back home eventually after heading through North, West, East and South-- haha
Can't wait for more adventures this Saturday at Cos & Effect~
Oh yeah-- if you wonder what I did after Saturday, nothing really. Life?
Work on Sunday and today was chill day!
I did a bit of shopping and got my package from when I ordered it in mid-June *__*
I was so worried it was lost in the mail but luckily, it was just delayed because of the postal strike that happened recently.
What did I get? Just eyelashes and eyedrops.
Let me say one thing.
The Rohto Lychee eye drop for contacts is absolutely amazinggggg!
If you haven't tried japanese eyedrops before, it's worth giving it a shot.
They're totally different from American eye drops you find at your local drugstore.
But I guess Rohto also sells an American version of their eyedrops.
The lychee one is different though.
Hard to explain but I can actually feel a lychee scent to the eyedrops.
I don't know how and I probably sound really stupid now but it's nice and cooling!
I usually use it if my eyes feel irritated with the contacts in...
Yeah, give it a try if you ever have the chance! =)
That's about all I can say for now~
Until then``
