    Trixia Salonga

    Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights. Contact me at reshadollyprincess@gmail.com for collaboration




    My School sponsored a cosplay event named KUNWA COSPLAY COMPETITION at Fishermall Pantranco. Quezon City. The event was open to non-students of CIIT.

    I prepared my Cinematic Ahri suit, making sure the design is well laid out, I based the design on the official Cinematic Ahri photo, traced the lines and had them cut, painted and sewn to my costume, making the belt is tricky because the design in that area had tiny little pieces, so I had to be extra careful where I place them. It took less than one week for the design to finish.





















    The day of the event, morning, I was shaken, I found my tail burnt to crisp. I was losing hope. I thought I might just quit. Right there where I was standing stood a tree, whose leaves resembles that of a one tail. I immediately sprayed the spray paint on it, I had doubts but I wont quit.
























    It was 12 pm and the registration ends at one, I knew that my travel time will not be able to make it, but mom decided to give us a lift, we arrived at fishermall, passed
    1pm and gave the application form.

    Mom was weirded out with my costume, she looks worried because I might become  a laughing stock. She decided to finish the program and canceled her clinic for the day.



























    After giving out the application, we dined
    at Jollibee, Mom was shy she told me that others might be thinking im weird.





























    When we got back to get ready, the staffs told us my application form and photo reference got lost. Blessed be, we were carrying an extra photo and filled out a new application.

    Mom got mad, and she spoke to the staff to be careful. They apologized for the negligence.

    I got back ready in the back stage and had shots with the bands and other people. I was informed that they moved the registration time, and at 3pm, the show started, with two hosts, I was given the number 16 out of the 22 cosplayers.

    A staff informed us that we prepare to introduce ourselves and will be interviewed after each performance, some of us got too nervous as we were not informed that there would be interviews, there I met , a cosplayer in How to train your dragon cosplay , her name is Ersilia. We were both nervous about the interviews of what we are going to say.

    When it was my time, I was announced to go up stage but when i still did not hear my sound, I did not go up stage. Seconds after a short silence I heard my background song went up, and did my skit.




    I danced a little, but i could not move well because the floor is too slippery, then introduced myself to the judges and got interviewed by the hosts.

    Mr. Ebirah and yours truly

    After the show backstage, I met Mr.Ebirah, Mr. Kouga Wolf, we conversed about cosplay and I was wowwed by his 6 years dedication to cosplay.






















    CIIT students
    We took shots and after that went back near stage because they will announce winners, some staff at school asked if I am a CIIT student and they were shocked, they didnt know i was one of the students, because my class time are different from theirs.
    Second Place: Mr. Ebirah

    First Place

    Third Place


    Winners are:

    Voltes V first place
    Mr. Ebirah Second place
    Third place






    Ms. Ersilia





    Mr. Charles Marco and yours truly

    After show, mom wanted to look around, then we went to Walter Munoz, dined at Max and she bought me a Ahri shoe.

    Actually, I was so happy, Mom seldom comes to any of my activities at school, and she thought that I would become a japayuki (sexy japanese dancer) by cosplaying, and in this time I was able to show her that this is a decent hobby and I loved it. I didnt have to hide my this hobby from her, last time I introduced it,well i cant say what happened but at least she knows that I made progress. This is by far one of my blessed event that I attended. I have new friends who share the same passion like me and my ahri designs was finished.

    I am a die hard fan of fushigi yuugi and I just stumbled these announcement on the net, how I wish I could be there to watch this.

    This is the blog originally from japanese station, I translated it with google translate























                         Hotohori                                                                             Nuriko

    After Miaka and Yui yesterday, the official Twitter for the new stage play upcoming adaptation of the popular manga series works Yuu Watase, Fushigi Yuugi, today continues to post the visual appearance of the cast for Hotohori Ikkei played by 25-year-old Yamamoto and Nuriko by Toshiyuki Someya 27 years old. Both are known for their portrayal as Shuichiro Ohishi and Rin Hirakoba in the musical The Prince of Tennis. This second stage drama produced by Nelke Planning (musical The Prince of Tennis, Live Spectacle Naruto) and directed by Naoyoshi Okumura. The stage drama is scheduled to be staged 16 times at Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club ex (capacity: 460 people) from 19 to 29 March. Tickets generally will go on sale on 28 February.




                                        Miaka Yuuki                                                    Yui Hongo


     Hotohori and Nuriko cosplays here nailed it right!!! but Miaka and Yui's uniform seemed very different from the manga or anime. I might not be able to go there right now but then again, I can always watch the anime and read the manga anytime. ^_^

    I am a newbie event cosplayer - A Late bloomer


    Since the day I was introduced to anime in year of 1993, I always aspired to portray the characters I love, but due to different circumstances, it remained only as a beautiful dream. Due to God’s love, he gave me the chance to be able to fulfill these dreams that’s where I started with cosplay photos in the internet, then first came Shu Uemura Cosplay where I first won the crown of Black Princess, that was the most memorable day for someone like me that aspires to cosplay for almost her whole life. I would often go teary eyed  times because of so much happiness, but hides it because it messes the makeup.

    God loves me so much and he let me be able to participate in an actual competition.

    Late discovery leads to rushing


    I discovered UP AME event just the start of the first week of December, I had big doubts if the costume will make it, I only have two weeks to do it. It took a week of planning and another week to make the costume.


     I registered thru their online ticket order form and scheduled it Friday, a week before the said event. Gladly, I was able to purchase the three tickets (P100.00 each so P300.00 total) in my SM North meetup. I asked some questions to the person that lent me the ticket and she gladly told me that there would be a lots of booths and surprises in the event. The tailoring started Monday, December 8, 2014 and ended at Wednesday, but the details of the dress was not completed. The props and the accessories processing started during the whole week till the time we went to the event. We were definitely rushing and sometimes argues some details for the costume.

    I decided to cosplay Ahri the Nine Tailed Fox in this 2014 Trailer in League of Legends.
    My practice for performance was short as I focused well on the making of the costume. We tried our best to keep with the costume essentials but was unable to make the details in the arms.



    Getting to the main Location


    The Fair is located in the East Pavilion hall, World Trade Center, the taxi dropped us at the middle of the taxi terminal in World Trade Center, we found the hall on the extreme left wing. I immediately gave the Ticket to an organizer. I was wearing my costume when we got there because there would be no more time to dress up, we arrived at 4:30 and I was able to register at that time. By the entrance was the guard and the ticket booth, there is also a big space for the cosplayers in this area to shoot. I was given the green horse mark when we presented the ticket. Near the entrance was the Doll booth and the registration on the other side. When I was able to register, the staff confirmed if my picture sizes are acceptable as I printed out on different sizes yet still I tried to keep it with their contest reference rule



    They accepted it and informed me that event starts at 5:30 to 7:30 pm, and cosplayers must go to the backstage.

    We had to assemble my tail at the far back where there is no person and at 5:30 pm, we went to the backstage. My nails have to be attached this time because it was very long, it will be hard to move if I attach it early. The organizers gave us numbers and formed us in line.

    The time has come, are you ready?




    The song Savior of song opening played and I became very excited as I see this song as a sign of all the cosplayers in battle.

    We were standing all the time the Cosplay Competition started, and seriously my feet hurts like hell and the nails keep on falling as the adhesive fails because of the nail weight and my movement.




    P.S  the nails are really ancient ~ as in ancient these are one of the oldest nail design from 1990’s and it was passed down to me. I had to go back and search for them again and found out that one of the nails was torn into two T_T.

     oh, one thing, I'd like to Thank Miss Kei Shiratori for selling me my Ahri ear. ^_^

     One organizer told me that they couldn’t play my music file so they will use the first Ahri music background of the other Ahri cosplayer.

    I told her if she could talk to my companion near them so that he can provide another copy solution for my music but she told me that she can do anything because there’s no time. I agreed.

    The numbering was not followed and I was behind Cosplayer 14. The organizer told me that I should be next to Cosplayer 14 because the others are mechanical and difficult to mobilize and takes time.

     Seconds before I went upstage the girl organizer (who informed me that the music was not able to be played) found a solution and it can be played. So, I was happy and they told me to walk to the stage.

    As I walk up, I still have not heard my music and when I got to the middle stage, there was no music, I looked at the audience and I couldn’t see anyone, all the lights directed to me made everything white, and so I told myself that the show must go on,

    I raised my arms to give the Ahri Poses and her tried depict her running gestures, then gave my last post on the left side and gave an exit.

    I never heard a single tone or sound from the audience during my performance to my exit. My thoughts came to me why the sound never played or was my performance awkward. I rushed backstage to pick up the fallen nails that fell.


    We failed to capture the video because my videographer was busy looking for my music in the background.

    Individual reactions to my cosplay.


     When I went out from the backstage, people started ask my permission to take pictures, and I was very happy to pose with them. During that time, I was still in doubt of my performances, there were times that I’d black out during conversations. Then a cosplayer told me that I really was able to greatly cosplay Ahri and my mind was shaken, all my doubts cleared, that one comment mattered a lot. I thanked him a lot!



    Geisha’s Blade invited me to pose for their booth and there, all my insecurities and doubts was slashed away. Never mind the audioless dancing, they loved the cosplay, costume and the overall package, then this is what matters most! All the staffs had their own picture of me with them and I was very very happy! (wanna cry again hehehe sorry with the drama).

    I also met Sir Kiko Francisco and he did not recognize me at first until I mentioned who I was back then the Black Princess. He took my picture like the usual and conversed a little but he was very busy at the doll booth so he rushed to go there :)











    The kids were not afraid of me anymore unlike the Black Princess Costume where they usually cry when they see me, this time they would smile at me and greet me well.

    Awarding


    We waited for the awarding at 8:30, I waited beside the stage, did not take dinner or snack as I was truly excited if I would make it. The band was playing my favorite Otaku songs including Ohayou from Hunter X Hunter and I enjoyed the beat and watched. Then they announce the start of the awarding, the
    2nd runner up prize of 1000 cash,
    first runner up prize of 2000 cash,
    Champion prize, an option of the Excalibur sword from Geisha’s Blade or 2000 cash + gift prizes

    Note: This competition does not have categories (No male or female or mecha category).

    Lessons


    Experience is the greatest teacher of all and she taught me the hard way, but I will always remember this and give my best next time.

    The things I learned including how to manage or what to do when there are technical problems before and during the onstage play.
    Improvements on my time management and costume making.
    Self-confidence that I must build more
    And many other things.

    I was inspired by Lupin music videos:

     These are the shots of my Lupin III inspired cosplay by Fujiko.

    Find the mystery LUPIN.
    I placed a mysterious LUPIN here.... anybody see it, go LIKE :)
    The sky and the background had the perfect light setting so we rushed in to shoot, the earlier skies were much dramatic it started to fade by the time we shot it.

    Later on, it gets darker.


    One of my most favorite shots. We were flooded and this was the aftermath, the color of the place looked vibrant because of that I didnt use filters just placed the logo and signature to really get the light setting on that time.
    The weather is really cold out here I could definitely feel christmas.
    Shot just yesterday September 19.

    Speaking of which, have you watched the Lupin 3rd Movie? Like to Comment
    Found the mystery LUPIN?

    Day 1: First Intake of prevention
    Time: Night time.
    Rationale:
    Vitamin C is best absorbed during sleep.
    My symptoms:
    Hoarseness and itchy throat
    Feelings of Malaise and feverish

    Signs:
    Right and Left submandibular nodes


    Day 2 Prevention:

    I can do this! Another dose of the pure citrus medicated tea made by our cafe chef Mr. Jonathan Nick Cruz.

    This is by far my first time trying out the effectiveness, and the progress this day is truly amazing. The symptoms were the sore throat feeling and malaise then when I drank this yesterday, I felt better the whole day, the sore feeling in my throat is gone too, although it's gone I should never stop the treatment, after all I always stay late for my projects I would need a lot of extra C's! This was first launched at our café, Mako-chan café, which is now on super long vacation.
    I will update the progress the following day
