Nihon Bunkasai at St. Albertus High School

Sunday, 1. February 2009, 02:21:22

diary, leisure time, cosplay

I was in text messaging with Mayu-san from Cosuki for about a month to make an appointment. I promised her I would come to the Japan Festival at St. Albertus High School. I and my friends was so happy that we prepared everything I needed for it.

Preparation

Buying new outfits was my habit to go to a special occasion. And the new outfits for this event were…

JRENG JRENG JRENG!

Black white-stripped blazer, black T-shirt, black jeans, black shoes, black socks, and black bag. In short, they were all back!

The blazer and the jeans were new bought but the others were just old stuffs.

The black T-shirt was the one I bought for a lunch in Saboten Shokudo and the bag was the one I bought for Festival Malang Kembali (FMK). The black shoes and socks were the ones I usually used to go to school.

Hehehehehe…

St. Albertus High School

It’s one of my school’s biggest rival, especially in music. Actually I was doubt to go to this school but my love to Cosuki beat it all.

At first, I thought St. Albertus was a big school since it’s a private school. But when I arrived there, I just grinned. My school is much larger and definitely had more facilities. I even saw a classroom with irrelevant windows and door. How poor…

I was so proud hanging out the St. Albertus’ corridor while chitchatting with my friends, “Hey, guys! Is this our school’s big rival? Not so big, huh?”

Wow… I guessed the students there must be so insulted if they heard it. But we should admit that they have a greater hall than the one we have.

Fake Foods

There were some stands that exhibited Japanese stuffs. The most interesting one is the imitation of Japanese foods. They really looked like read foods but they apparently were made of plastics and rubber. I couldn't imagine the taste.

We, the Notable Guests

When we went upstairs to the hall, we met Huda-san, the chairman of Cosuki.

In the previous cosplay at Araya Plaza, he performed Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: The Advent Children. He was the one who asked us if we were interested to join the cosplay group.

I didn’t recognized him at first since he wore another costumes at the Nihon Bunkasai. He performed Lelouch from Code Geass. He looked so different without his wig! So cute! When we met at St. Albertus, he greeted us at once and showed us the way to the hall where the cosplay would be performed. I was so happy since he still remembered us.

Cosuki, We Missed the Cabaret

Mayu-san told me that the cabaret would be started at 1.00 pm. When we looked into the hall at about midday, we noticed that the cabaret wasn’t started yet. So we hung out in the downstairs.

If hadn’t been 1.00 pm yet when we went back to the hall. But what happened? The cabaret was about to finish! Oh my!

I was so disappointed.

The photo session wasn’t so pleasant. Since the event was indoor, the photos we took didn’t look nice. Taking pictures indoor was my weakness. I wasn’t a type of person who could stand holding the camera for a long time to make the picture not blurred. Yes, lack of lighting made the shutter worked slower. Huh!

Music Live

It was cool!

There were three bands that sang some popular Japanese songs such as It’s Gonna Rain by Bonnie Pink, Fukai Mori by Do As Infinity, and Stay Away by L’Arc en Ciel, etc.

Unfortunately, they didn’t make the show longer since they had more show to do in Tribute for L’Arc en Ciel that was sponsored by J-Zone.

Invalid Windows Activation Key

I brought Shikyu, my laptop since I planned to move the pictures from the camera to the laptop if the camera’s SD-Card had been full.

So, after taking some pictures with the cosplayers, I thought it was the time to move the pictures. But when I turned on the laptop, something shocking happened. The screen displayed a warning “Invalid Windows Activation Key” and the Windows stopped working. I was so confused since my Windows was all okay the previous night.

I called my technician and told him my problem. He asked me if I had updated my Windows. And I realized that I hadn’t. Hehehe…

New on My Photo Album

leisure time, photography

I took these pictures on the way to the bookstore to buy some magazines. It was a so hot day like hell that I nearly melt. But I tried to keep walking to take some city scenes.

KisenoSky - Daydream Note

internet, blog, leisure time, random stuff

I made a new blog in Blogger since my friends mostly use it for blogging. But making a blog there doesn’t mean that I will leave Opera Community. I still prefer Opera for a serious public blog. While the one in Blogspot is just for fun because it’s blogging system is too simple. Besides, Blogger doesn’t provide more pages for more needs. Huh!

I mostly write about my spare time, personal matters, and any unparticular stuff. It’s more like diary than the content of my Opera blog. There will be no computer, internet, graphic design, and programming. No other word but just more personal.

Malang Toys and Comic Convention 2008 in a Super Late Coverage

Sunday, 7. December 2008, 10:15:34

friend, mtcc 2008, cosplay, leisure time ...

I opened Miff-Miff-san's blog few days ago and it reminded me that I didn't have the coverage of Malang Toys and Comic Convention 2008 that was held on November 21 - 23. So I typed it at once though it had been too late. Happy reading! Or just look at the pictures if you are too lazy too read. Hehehe...

Day 1: The Opening Day
Meeting Unexpected People

I met Yoma-san and G-On-san there. I didn’t like the meeting too much. But as a good schoolmate, I greeted them and asked them for a photo session. They're in the picture beside. It was taken by using handycam, so the quality is so poor. Huh!

I just told Miff-Miff-san that I hated meeting someone I knew in such an occasion. It seemed like I was so unlucky that I suddenly saw someone unexpected. He's Adwin-san, Lovi-san’s ex-boyfriend. Damn!

When he saw me, I turned back at once, hoping he wouldn’t recognize me. I felt like a criminal who ran away from a cop. I tried my best to hide. But it seemed like he had recognized me. I knew he pretended to window shop from a stand to another but actually he wanted to see me.

He was suddenly behind me when I took a picture of a figure of a girl wearing bikini. I got so shocked and unintentionally cussed. He laughed. So I went away without greeting him. I knew that he knew I always got so nervous if I met him. I knew he liked seeing me nervous like that. Aarrgghh!

I avoided him by going to Dé Palm Café for an extra lunch. I was so relieved he had left when I got back to MTCC zone. And fortunately someone had cured the bad day.

Mr X! Yay!

The Super Duper Awesome deviantART-ists

I met Adhyt-san and Aji-san in deviantART stand. They were drawing. There were some artworks on the table. Two of them were the ones Adhyt-san took on his deviantART gallery. So cool!

I interviewed them a little about digital coloring. They told me that they use tablet pen. I envied them! I really wanted to have one since I always colored my artworks by using mouse. It’s horrible! I also asked for their deviantART so I could watch them.

Falling In Love with Cosuki

The cosplay for the day was Death Note and any Japanese uniform. The performers were from Cosuki. Most of the members were college students. I was confused of how to told them that I want to take their picture. But Miff-Miff-san was so brave to say, “Excuse me! Can I borrow the L?”

L is cool! But the guy who performed Yagami Light was too cute. He looked like Ave-san, my classmate. There was a guy wore girls uniform. Couldn’t say he’s handsome. But I salute his courage to wear such girl stuffs. Awesome and ridiculous!

Day 2: The Most Awesome Day
Yukovany-senpai and a Junior Girl

The show wasn’t started and there was nothing on the stage. I took a picture of a guy constructing a Gundam Kit. Dara approached and told me that Yukovany-senpai was there in MTCC zone. She asked me if I wanted to meet him. I said I did. I really wanted to ask so many things about internet business, but…

“He’s with a girl,” Dara-san then said.

Damn! So I say, “No way, then!” in my coldest way of addressing person. I wouldn’t disturb their date, even if it was just to greet him, “Konnichiwa, Senpai!”

I Broke Strawberry’s Rule

Strawberry is a shop that sold girl stuffs. Actually, we werren’t allowed to take any picture there. It was what written in a board there. But I got so tempted to open my camera lens when I saw at the ceiling. The lamps were so cool!

So I turned on my camera, and tried to hide it behind my back when the lens moved opening. I turned off the blitz. I held the camera in a position that no one would think I was going to take a picture. I pretended looking at the stuffs while my fingers hit the capture button. I turned it off at once.

A shop keeper seemed to suspect me but I then held my camera in the position she could see the LCD screen was off. Haha!

Cosuki in Cosplay Cabaret! Banzai!

The story of the play was just like the parody of Swan Lake. But the characters were taken from some anime characters. The princess was Alicia from Ragnarok, the prince was Zuko from Avatar the Legend of Aang, etc.

Prince Zuko made a ball at his palace. He was looking for a princess to marry but no girl was interesting for him. He went hunting and found a swan suddenly turned into a girl at night. She’s Princess Alicia. He invited her to his palace. But the fake-princess, the witch’s daughter, knew it and went to the palace to dance with the prince.

The people at the picture above are the prince’s guardians. The costumes were from Vampire Knight. And the most ridiculous thing was that actually the fake princess was a GUY! He’s in the picture in the left. And the girl in the right is Princess Alicia.

Mr X Looked So Cool

He wore white T-shirt, green vest with check pattern, a cap with the same color and pattern, a digital camera on his hand. So bad I just smiled to him, with no talking and no taking his picture. Uh!

I Got Proposed by Cosuki

The guy who performed Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children suddenly greeted me and asked me if I wanted to be a cosplayer or not. He said I could be a cosplayer, a Cosuki member, if I had graduated from high school. And he gave me Cosuki’s contact number.

What a happy-happy day!

Day 3: The Last Day of Fun
I Hate Unpunctuality

From what I read on MTCC rundown, it should be Naruto Cosplay Contest at 10 am. So nothing more I could say but that Indonesians are so unpunctual. I had been knowing it since a long time before. The Naruto Cosplay Contest started at 6 pm while the run down said it started at 10 am. Oh crap!

I didn’t know what to do for such a boring 8 hours. I, Miff-Miff-san, and my Fiana-mouto had been sitting in the empty seat lines in front of the stage, watching a drummer checking the drum. I wanted to ask him, “Excuse me, can I play the drum?” But I was too shy to talk. So, boring went on…

We then decided to hang around the plaza and taking some pictures.

And after a long weird photo session, we went to Dé Palm Café to take some meal while waiting for the deviantART workshop. That's when I found Hannah-san and Wendy-san having a date.

Tablet! Oh, Tablet!

The deviantART workshop was about using tablet. I had been so desperate since I always color everything by using mouse. Horrible! Huh, they made me so envy!

Gundam Kit and Diorama Contest

Nothing else to say but SO COOL! I could hardly imagine how the Gundam freaks built a robot model from the tiny components.
