    Joining the headgear contest

    I've made a decision to join in this year's headgear competition, a digital art contest that where I can share the characters headgear design, I've worked on my preliminary submission work which took me for at least 2 hours to finish. I know I lack in speed but I decided to join in and have fun.

    After submission, I received a confirmation two days before the contest and I was happy that I'd get to join a brand new competition in my life. The only time I competed for my art was back at school and I admit that I dont have much confidence in my work. I was encouraged to join as a special person told me that its time for me to harness the skills and awaken this sleeping talent I forced to put to sleep.

    All I know is that I would be using a Huion tablet which I havent tried and I am anxious what program they'll let us use.

    The day before, there was an email confirmation that I'll also attend as media and I felt the pressure seep into me.


    The day of the event



    We've arrived at the venue early in at around 9 or 10, we were led to a special entrance for media. The staff assisted us with all the questions especially when they got confused that I was also looking for the booth of headgear competition. It wasnt my first time to get inside the skydome, the last time I was inside, i was at talentadong pinoy show, this time the whole venue was given life with the picturesque castle stone pavillion and walls.

    A stage was set-up and a small stylish area for guests and players to seat in front with snacks has been set-up. Booths are located on the sides.

    It didn't take very long, we started out very early after the orientation at 11 am, I signed up for one hour early slot and took it, its only 45 mins draw for all sides and I could feel that its going to be difficult to get a good line highlight for my
    work, so I made a sketch.
    The best thing is that they let us have references, I took mine with one of the sketches I had a few days back.









    Entry for Ragnarok Ragnafest 2018 headgear competition

    I didnt finish the lining and color, as I thought, it took me sometime to get acquianted with the tablet or photoshop, this has become my weakness as I am not trained to make vectors with that program, added to my lack of speed practice. Someone noticed one of the competitors tablet didnt work, it wasnt the program, so they changed it and took 5 minutes from him. Oh dear, and I was on thinking of buying a unit from them, this did have a point of realization that maybe durability might become an issue in the future, and thats the top priority I always look for.

    A Swinging Brunch


    tambayan ni pedro at sm north edsa
    After the contest, we went out to have out branch, I was looking forward to eat unli-rice at mang inasal but boy, all seats are taken! We saw an attractive swing dining set up called tambayan ni Pedro and the menu is similar with mang inasal, so we tried it out. The chicken I had was crispy, slightly burnt sides but didnt affect the juicy taste. Their oil was savory when drenched to my rice however, my companion, a food critic told me that each flavor was too strong for him that there was no harmony on them anymore, he noticed I stopped and didn't finish on my second rice which is odd because I always do, he said thats its probably terminated my appetite. For me, it was good and seating on a swing in the middle of the mall added to comfort and amusement, although I was annoyed with the kid on my back trying to bang the swing all the time since each swing is cramped up. Overall, it was a good experience and we had great conversation.


    Program start

    The time we went back, we were expecting that the program had moved on to its schedule, but we were surprised that it hasn't started yet, the schedule had a difference of around 3 hours. It started with a joyful playing of drums by Batangas drummers and their dances, bring me games which had a few accidents to cosplay part.

    That small drama

    Ms. Myrtle at Ragnafest 2018
    The start of the cosplay though, we noticed that there seem to be something odd with the movement of the organizers and they remove the set up of the middle mini sala and modified it, it seemed that a certain group of individuals had set comfy to sit in and ate the snacks provided for myrtle, the intl guests and players, so they decided to remove the grass walls and only placed one long sofa infront, eventually these group of people went home, when all was clear, the cosplay competition started and Myrtle was able to finally have a seat in-front.


    The organizers had everything all set up at the very start, the mini sala was meant for her to stay there and comment on the game throughout the program, but since this group of people had occupied the seats, it was only the time of judging that she came out.

    I might check this on shelves later at stores...

    When I got thirsty, I went to check the booth of natures spring, I tried their testers and I thought Id get a normal water, I was surprised it tasted like apple juice, it made me reminisce how I relied on apple juices when i was trying to remedy my soda dependency when I was a child, and with the one I took, I guess its less effort to mix apple juice powder anymore. It satisfied and quenched my thirst on just a shot glass amount, I might look for it in the shelves when i get by at store.

    Winners...
    There were donuts on the other side and a picture booth with the cute cosplay girls which I shyly didn't pose with. Around 7 pm, they announced the winners of the headgear and cosplay competition, I didn't win any place this time but I loved the new experience and feeling I had the time I was in the competition, it felt like having a national exam to set an adrenaline rush and thoroughly activating my artistic sense, it was totally worth it! I'll just work on my pace and learn more about vector art in Photoshop so I'll be able to deliver a better graphics next time.


    The difference with former events...

    After the announcement, we packed our bags and went home. I was surprised that the game program lasted for more than the time when I fell asleep at around 2 am onwards, but my companion told me that it usually does last that long, even before. I also checked the facebook post voting at their page, I forgot that they also need the likes from audience at around 20% to choose the winner of the artworks. My companion told me that the rules are way better than before because it the voting system was done before through cosplay and judged onsite by audiences, meaning, you could bring your very own army to vote for you, which is a total dismay or disadvantage especially to those that do not have the support onsite, he even stressed that he was in disappointment before since he saw an incredible craftmanship and play execution from a cosplayer but since the voting had played a huge part of the judging, he didn't win. He stressed that headgear competition back then wasn't digital but made with real materials that was only judged onsite as well, he said that it's better that they placed in the voting system to this side of the contest. The cosplay competition's judging was done fair as when the winners was announced, a brief explanation of their win was given and it we all agreed with the outcome, a congratulations for the winners!

    A sobing child

    While, I was on my way home, I sulk with my companion as to how I've become dormant with my artistic dreams and blamed it mostly with adulting life that I certainly cannot remove, but after a day of endless whining I've halted and moved on, because the challenge for this dreamy artistic session has just started and it's continuing in my life moving forward, I felt relieved and excited that it doesn't have to end. Plus, someone want's to buy me the most expensive Huion tablet just to cheer me up, oh, if you are reading this, thank you. I'd gladly appreciate and accept the cheer, hehehe.


    Appreciation

    So, that is overall my first time experience attending Ragnafest, It was totally memorable, the drama, emotions and memories that I felt along from this event I will cherish and add to lifetime smiling memory album on my amygdala.

    Thank you very much for the most warm welcome Ragnafest staff and all those that made a successful memorable evening before the month of Christmas.

    . Monday, October 01, 2018 .



    I  have now a regret in my life, my lingering regret is that I wish I had blogged this sooner  they'll be able to prepare for another season of these favorite anime that ended so just and left me with white dry eyes. Most of these anime are so good but it feels like they just jampacked the story in 12 episodes and ended up with no follow up season. Where's the justice men?

    So, without further ado, here are my list of animes that I would want to have another season.

    1. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san

    This anime just ended two days ago and I was left shocked. I was definitely not ready that it ended up with a simple backstory of two ghost lovers with lingering regrets. I was looking forward to see that story of Yuuna disappearing because she finally was able to attain her lingering regret, it was on the first few episodes that I saw some type of sneak peak and i thought it'd come to that point. Huh.

    Nevertheless, the story is great. I like the fact that Kogarashi feels like Ainz Ool Gown in strength because of his past possessions, and with his harem adventurous, but I never get the thought in mind that he is falling for Yuuna, she is after all, beautiful and strong-willed, which makes her unresistable. I still want to know if she really is a ghost because I'm already theorizing that she's a Yokai because of her difference with other bounded ghosts.

    2. Isekai Izakaya

    You're kidding, right? Why did you just ended this all weeks awaited anime and whats more, you made me wait two weeks just for the next episodes to premiere, what is this, a torture?

    Isekai Izakaya is my preferred amongst the both the Isekai anime's that was released few months ago. To compare with food, Isekai Izakaya is your all time favorite everyday classic dishes, while the other Isekai are those with rare, exquisite heavy meals ordered mostly on high end restaurants only. Isekai Izakaya is friendly and light weight to all audiences, and you'd always feel the joy and warmth of the regular customers in their diner.
    Customers there were so supportive of the diner that they'd go lengths in times of the diner's need, thats something that you'd rarely see. Plus, I could definitely feel that there's cupid in the Air between Taishou and Shinobu, dont you guys wanna know too?



    3. Dragon Maid Kobayashi

    This anime silently ended its last episode but with launch of new anime, the craze was directed and since then, not much is heard for the next season. Kobayashi's anime story has so much to tell, especially with Tohru's other world stories, there are just so many questions on what the other world is like and where all the cup D dragons came from, I don't think it all ends just there, right?



    4. Megalobox

    I never or rarely even mentioned this on Geek radio, but I have been hooked up on non other than a unique concept of boxing using technology, and with the protagonist making way through the championship without this certain "gear". I am not specifying that I want to see more of his story because he has already retired, but I know on the list of top 200 megalo boxers, I want to know others story on their way to top. I see it as the side story of where Hunter X Hunter's Gon and Killua tower tournament fight. Now, give us more juice, please.


    5. The Master of Ragnarok and blesser of Eihenjer

    This anime ended suddenly, that it felt really rude. There were so much other stories each event rises, but the ending focused to the main characters love story as if you've been fed in force of the words "and they lived happily ever after". I was able to watch the episodes because I have taken liking to knowing how they incorporate history and the anime's story. It felt like a modern way to learn history anime style, but ending it that sudden is like serving a bland dish without any condiments and sequenced course of appetizers, main dish, side dishes, dessert and so forth. Nevertheless, the anime has hope because I've seen some points where they  may open a new topic. Just the part of the history where protagonists follows was not even emphasized and expanded, it would be great to see all his accomplishments or challenges to building an epic empire of history.


    6. Monster Musume

    Almost every one of my friends who are into monsters girls knows that this is their holy grail. It is because of this anime that Monster girls made their way to the top of the most wanted list. Now, how in the world did this anime not have another season around? You're joking, right? We, monster girl lovers would soon crawl under the studio's creator bed and choke them with our monster tails just to convince another season soon.

    How about you? Do you have any other anime that ended abruptly and you'd want them to continue?
    If you do, indicate through my comment and hoping this would be read by one of a good studio would continue in the future.


    . Thursday, August 16, 2018 .




    Heyaa~~  How are you all? Today I got recharged with Kawaii-ness all (cuteness) over. I was walking in this mall at BGC when I passed by a really cute bag store. Having immediately seen their designs, my feet stopped moving and hand automatically reached out for the small cute bag. From far away glance, it was a handmade bag made out of cloth, until I confirm it is.



    I knew I never have to pass the opportunity to pick it up and buy again because these type of bags exactly fits my needs to a simple grocery shopping or short walks to lunch. There were different sizes, it's a good thing meaw suggested that I check the size by testing out with my phone. There were some that were too small and didn't fit but this one that I have fit perfectly with the best pocket features of back zipper and separate compartment inside, did I mention that it's so soft and cushy that when I had the idea to pick up my candy type perfume scent, holy shit it the whole world suddenly looked cute.


    That triggered all the inspiration around, I wanted to pair it with a cute wallpaper and I stumbled with continuous kawaii apps I feel like I'll have diabetes with all the sweetness look all over.



    I thought that my wallpaper needed to pair with the cuteness of the bag so I looked for a wallpaper, the apps I downloaded all have features of raffle type chances to get either a wallpaper or the sticker above. That is perfect so I can test out my everyday luck and it feels like a game!!


    They are incredibly functional and helpful. I wanted to decorate my photo with cute stickers and I searched and searched to find 3 irresistible apps. God, please extend my phone's internal memory. Hovering around the app was very easy as I only tap a sticker on the selection and the borderline adjustments are everywhere.

    The apps name are as follows for the photo stickers:

    Frank-remark Stickers
    Kawaii photo
    kansai cat stickers

    Kawaii photo is used for photo editing while the stickers are used for messenger, the ultimate makeover to boring stickers you get on messenger.


    I thought that was everything when  I saw this app named Frank-remark Clocks for placing a cute clock, I got a cute one that blends as an app logo and I said no more I'm overloaded with cuteness already I might get overdosed.


    You're not kidding as I blend everything with an icon pack of Asus' Afternoon tea, yeah I've definitely overdosed with cuteness.  Have I told you guys that I also successfully attained Foie gras at Food Fantasy, 2 days before deadline and tears got into my eyes, cause getting her has been more painful experience but rewarding because she's my first UR magic caster with a base power of around 2000 already compared to my others which are lower. I want to share with all of you who play food fantasy, this is not mine, I got it from social media a complete guide to pairing your food souls.




    A new challenge suddenly appeared in my app yesterday and used all my diamonds to inflict damage to this Philippine server Disaster / Boss Raids to level up Foie Gras immediately. I was the one who inflicted the first damage and was not aware that this battle is joined by other players to inflict damage on the boss.



    I did not download this but I saw another kawaii app called Battery saver Flowery Kiss if you want it, it looks cute too.



    This is not sponsored post but just usual kawaii hunting.


    . Monday, July 23, 2018 .



    I could not contain my excitements, as more and more anime has released this July, no doubt that this month has the most number of releases, I'm overjoyed. Since my last stream on June, I have featured those that are to be released on July and I found my self looking forward to them.




    Some that caught my attention are High Score girl and Asobi Asobase which certainly are most unique among the bunch of anime releases. Such uniqueness included when I saw each characters facial expressions and raindrops of humors in each episode.




    When you are the type of person who appreciate high level of details and anime-ish characteristics, you may just past by these anime upon your "next anime to watch hunt" but I'm telling you, it's just a few episodes released on streaming sites yet has already made me want to watch more.



    High score girl anime became the reflection of my childhood days where the dawn of PC gaming and slow decline of arcade games were happening. We certainly got the best of both worlds and the excitement of new technology to come plus nostalgia of arcade gaming hits the spot. It was a balanced fun childhood we had before and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. On these times, concept artists pushed through the limits of an unlimited open ideas and brought them to life, despite the young technology, you can already see the plans or the vision of the creators.



    I certainly thought that the story would revolve around the two protagonists but they had brought it to a much wider perspective of remembering to look back from the past. The anime has a deep meaning that only most people on that time could remember. Whats great is that as the story progresses, it becomes interesting.



    I sometimes see 6hp Black Princess and Oono Akira on the same art style, I haven't researched who made it yet but it's like her, with more episodes about her life. 
    Asobi Asobase in the other hand caught my attention by the small clips on my facebook timeline, they are short but they made me chuckle, both anime's unique facial expression added to the humor and uniqueness to the Anime. It felt vain for one classmate to exhibit such revenge to the other annoying characters but I thought that they deserved it though~ haha. Anyway, their friendship became in good terms nonetheless, which is great because they have this chemistry of laughter that I'd like to look forward to.


    With the other releases, there are more anime's that I found really interesting to spotlight on but I'll be leaving this here for now and will feature the others soon. :)
    Next time then...

    . Saturday, June 23, 2018 .





    This day is special because it marks my 1 month at Tamago live app. When I was given my room number, it disheartened me deeply because the room number felt difficult to remember, but right then ideas came soon after and 176 8105 Geek Radio was born (read as one seventysix eigthy one ow five).




    Our purpose was clear. Just by the title of the radio, we wanted to air most of our never-ending anime, games, cover soundtracks, cartoons, movies and TV shows favorite hobbies. I wanted to play games and at the same time get groove on with Music, Beat Hazard was a gift from the creator thanks to the continued development of Cold Beam Games. I played requests of your choice and we danced through the beat.


    Soon after, I added in other games I wanted to play for so long. Thus, games such as League of Legends, Yandere Simulator and other PSP games brought light and excitement to every push of a button. Your continued support and teachings helped me progressed level by level.



    176 8105 Geek Radio had stand through hurricanes and earth shattering quakes you can never imagine. We had all sorts of issues everyday and there was never at least one day that we did not troubleshoot or prepared the whole day for the 2 hour program.




    What you didn't know behind the scenes was a test of how determined I am to keep the airing on. The very first time I showed up, I was physically challenged already, my fever would not go down and it was due to worsened colds from rains and lack of sleep. You will hear my voice muffled due to my sore throat, but endured everything I can because there's no turning back. Mind you, I am in cosplay every single day for that.

    Each day I would search for requests and plan how I could get the program going. Although I already have stored countless anime songs on my computer, it still was not enough since not all are accepted by Beat Hazard, making it difficult for me to search for more each and everyday. I never thought planning and researching  for a two hour program takes the whole day everyday.

    Internet was a definite challenge whenever its high traffic or fluctuations. I sometimes streamed without graphics and could only be heard by voice. Resetting stream did not do any solution either. So it literally became a radio since you could only hear my voice. Quite not the vision I longed for as a Visual Radio Program.

    My eyes went round when I saw NBI observed for 10 minutes during my livestream and made me think if I'm doing something wrong. waaaah!

    Sometimes, Philippine traffic could be the cause of broken dreams, not happened to me yet, but almost when I got caught in non-motionless traffic at C5. Thanks to efforts of MMDA and Gadget Addict, we were finally able to go home faster at EDSA, which you would not believe saved us, there was not time to change to my cosplay so it was the first time you saw me in my casual outfit.

    (play these clips, they are short and cropped already)

    And when you thought you've been through all the hurdles already.... LET THERE BE NO LIGHT.
    The most difficult and challenging we have ever faced was complete total black out when there had been electrical issue due to the storms. We were blessed, 711 became our OFFICE! Thank you to the kind staff who let us mount the laptop, we thought its the end but then there was still LIGHT.

    You all could not believe that I am streaming at 711 and I showed up before the show ended when I got the opportunity to get better reception. You'll never knew how disappointed the onlookers thought with our commotion of laptop setup and to stream just to play games and it is my first time to play with laptop on top of a trash bin. There was no vacant seats everywhere.

    I apologize for the censor, I am haggard since I ran like a kangaroo just to get power.


    and you've all supported and encouraged to keep the program on. Any of the gifts you sent brought tears of happiness once the show ended.

    Lately, challenges level up whenever I make it though much like Bots in League adapting to a players level. Recently, life threatening road accidents and flooding at home definitely gave me a scare but did not stop me from streaming and now the most biggest challenge I am currently facing is Technical issue to the point that my main desktop renders useless.

    Then again with all those challenges, I am also impressed that Geek Radio was able to make it with you guys and as I said "We'll always be here to stay". Not all challenges were said up there but there were even the smallest issues affect a lot yet it was able to stand.



    With all the hardships, balance of nature gave me a chance to place the smile back on my face, when facing Death in Dantes Inferno or King Minos was finally killed, followed by success of Legendaries in League of Legends and successful surprise weekend cosplay program or Yandere Simulator Heroine wiped out the whole school and kidnapped Senpai.

    . Saturday, April 21, 2018 .

    As I scrolled through my feed, almost everyone in my circle are thinking of a quick summer getaway. They have uploaded their pictures of their adventures which of course involves the sand, beach and somewhere cold. I, on the other-hand have stayed at my room and staying cool as I can. I visit the condo once in a while to swim but most of my time I am at home. People thought that they'd be so many who use the swimming pool but actually it's the opposite.


    Berkeley residences in Katipunan remains to have seldom swimming pool goers so I enjoy the pool all by my self all the time. I get to refresh and revive myself unlike going to public pools. What I just hated the most though is that the new management requires to pay a P150.00 per person swimming pool fee for other tenants than us which makes them a total klutz, how about our monthly tenants then? well, I am on total snob with them for now because I hate their corrupt management.

     Now, don't wonder why I'm always looking pale white because I mostly skip summer, more likely celebrate it before and after summer season. Yes, if you remember I did mermaid-ing already, I consider that my summer getaway and since I did not want to be toasted to the sun, I scheduled it to start immediately before summer season even started.

    For a digital nomad like me, summer may not exist because you can work anywhere, anytime! well, I love my life online but I hate the heat of the sun. It's hard to focus on a monitor when you have heat cramps all the time.

    There was never a day where I never felt a small headache or migraine due to this heat. I did all my means to keep cool even to make a homemade Kakigori or placing ice on top of my head. My God, Global super warming! Even more, that my energy is low during these season.

    I noticed it's not only me who experiences these but I've found out most people have been affected by this hot season. Even my bestfriend feels vertigo due to this heat, I would understand since I visited provinces near her and damn it feels like I am in desert and I won't be able to last so soon with that.

    1. Sweet cool beverage/ ice cream

    Ice cream is on demand at our household, the whole gallon. It only takes us less than 3 days to consume those sometimes in just a few minutes even, imagine how this temperature affect us, ice cream actually helps a lot especially with low sugar levels since I seldom have appetite due to heat then I work, I become hypoglycemic all the time, so this keeps me going until such time the temperature gets lower and I get to cook a meal.



    2. Sour type soup

    Choosing a meal is as tough. Nothing seems to satisfy me, I would choose not to consume any food because the heat had terminated my appetite but I had a few sour soup which helped regain hunger.



    3. Love your chores

    There is but one thing that also kept me very cool and I never thought I would like to do this because the next is actually house hold chores. Yes, You've read it right. House hold chores involving water, washing the dishes and doing early morning laundry. They actually kept me cool as long as I re-hydrate all the time and not push my self too much they do help lower the temps.


    4. DIY cooling pads

    During my working hours, to avoid overheating I would place in some cooling pads on my head. I just do these and insert the iced sheets on wear it with a band. I have these small ice packs that are slim and perfect fit for these cats and it work wonders. I could switch this to a cooling eye patch when I want to! :)

     Just make sure to add in a lot of extra plastic so that water won't drip.


    5. Frequent Bath
    Taking frequent bath may seem to be a chore but it definitely helps a lot to cool down. I schedule baths in the morning and afternoon to keep cool before heat turns on and after the sun has gone down so I could sleep nicely. My bathrobe became my most frequent attire to wear who cares? its summer and it's like you're always wearing towels on the beach, right?
