Hey guys!

I am so sorry guys! I am just getting really lazy toward journals and keep months laying them around without nothing.
First of all thank you for all your favs, and welcome new watchers! It means the world for me =3
First of all I think I will pick up where I left off, one of the biggest point during last year: EUROPEAN COSPLAY GATHERING (ECG)
Last year I participated with Sofy202 during the perlimary of Portugal, we decided to enter as Link and Zelda from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
The contest was held for a new convention in Portugal called Anifest.
We had another costume in mind but it was something new and we didn´t know if we could pull it off.
Still with this costume I am pretty sure that there were things I could do better, but still I am pretty happy with the end result.
You can find our act here:

Here are a few pictures of the first day, I was quite busy the whole day, so I almost didn´t take any pictures...
 

The second day we could relax a bit more, I was able to talk and hang out with some old friends <3
Honestly there isn´t much I can talk about, I had a great time with some friends of mine, took some pictures in the studio which I am very grateful for,
and spent time with my international friends who went to the convention too. Me and Miguel enterred in the cosplay parade.
Here are some pictures of the second day.


Next we got Iber Anime OPO 2013 in the north of Portugal. It´s the biggest convention in Portugal, hold twice a year.
Once in Lisbon and once in Porto. This year Portugal would participate for the first time during the WCS.
And our dear friends LeonorGracias and manon-lightcrafts won with their Trinity Blood act! So proud <3
We left Friday in the late afternoon, and pick up our friends, who did also participate during the WCS.
But to our suprise-not they were still finishing stuff aha, gotta love the girls <3
We helped them making the bags and left of to Miminhoo house in the north of Portugal.
During the two days we didn´t cosplay that much, on saturday we did cosplay as Tekken but soon we tok the costumes off.
We were helping both teams from Lisbon and it was really tired with the cosplays on.
During the second day we went as Salsa and Chopin from Eternal Sonata, I know, I know, again?
Don´t blame us for the game being so awesome and the characters so wonderful, we love the costumes!
We met up with some friends, attended the workshop of the great Calssara hang out a bit with her and with some other friends.
Unlike Saturday it was a peaceful day, and we were all tired from friday night and saturday, it had been insaneeeeee.


After all thise stress and madness for the WCS of our friends, imagine if it was for us, I don´t think I would get up for another week.
We went one weekend later to London for the Euro Cosplay of Miguel in London MCM Expo.
We arrived Friday and met up with some cosplayers who had arrived already and were busy doing stuff for their costumes.
Slowly more arrived and we met new cosplayers all over Europe, incredible huh?
Later that night, there was the welcoming party, it was like a mix of food all over Europe and quite interesting.
If you participate just think about the amount of food they are having there! hahahaha xD
We met some cosplayers from Denemark and Czech Republic and hang out with them. We went pretty early to bed, because we woke up at 4 to catch our plane.
Saturday was the contest day, it seems impossible but it is true, you are the whole day in contest. First you got the judging.
And afterwards you got the contest which was from 17.00 at almost 21.00, very tired indeed.
I liked almost all of them, some were pretty amazing, I think the contest was balanced.
Here you can find Miguel´s act:


The third day, which was sunday was all to ourselves, we could visit the convention, or leave to London, it depended on how you booked your plane.
Most of the contestants left on sunday, our plane was at 5 in the morning on monday.
So we took our Code Geass costumes and took a walk, it was incredible the amount of nice people who came talking to us!
I never ever felt like alone on the convention, and I can say I met a lot of different and awesome cosplayers.
I can say it was a experience I would never regret it.
So as for the sunday night, because our plane was that early we decided to keep the night at the airport, there would be no transport at that time in the morning anyway from the hotel. To our luck, the security told us that the airport would close at 23.00, so yes how wonderful we were left at the street.
We decided to go to the nearest hotel and it almost broke my heart when I saw the expensive prices, but the manager understood our situation and we got a pretty good deal.
<3




I can´t say that from September until January was a peaceful season because it wasn´t.
Just two weeks after we returned from London, we went to an usual comic/manga convention, which is held every year.
It is one of the oldests conventions of Portugal who focus on cosplay.
So this year we participated in the parade again, I went as Rachel Alucard, it was getting a bit cold and I the costume.
And for any questions, yes the shoes are tired to walk on, but once you get used to it, it will be fine.
On the day, two or three days later I can´t walk, oh well it is all for cosplay..



And yes it didn´t stopped here, in December, we had more than 4 conventions,meets, parties, but I attended  3 of them.
XL Party, which is dedicated to gaming, but recently dedicates a litte time to cosplay as well.
Kingpin store christmas party, you just can´t miss this party, and afterwards the Masquerade Winter Ball.
This was a new kind of theme introduced to Portugal, like a cosplay christmas prom, I think it was amazing.
I would go for the next years as well! To this me and Miguel decided to go as Cantarella from Vocaloid.


So for the year 2013 it was a blast! I met new people, I messed up, I accomplish some great things, and now it is moving forward to even a better year!
I did managed to get a job right from the start and I am happy with it, let´s see!
I hope everyone had an amazing year as well as me, and I am sorry I am doing this 3 months later than expected.

*cleans up the dust* Sorry I am just really lazy when it comes to jornals! *lazyyy*
So the past few months I´ve been around a lot of conventions starting of with the biggest of this year! Japan Expo in Paris! Me and Miminhoo went to Paris on Tuesday, we were excited to begin our little trip outside the country! We arrived around 5 and found the hotel immediately. We checked in at our hotel which was Hotel Premiere Classe, it was about a 5 min walk to the convention because of a big and bad mistake I made of booking the wrong hotel in the center of Paris! Thank god!  We also took a quick look of Japan Expo that day.

The next day we went to visit Paris! I went to Paris twice before this but can´t really remember visiting it all! It had been too long and I was glad I could go to the city of Paris with Miminhoo We visited everything which we thought was important in a couple of hours, we went to the Eiffel Tower, Notredam, Louvre and Arc de Triumph! When we returned our friends who had just arrived called us manon-lightcrafts and aggie18 that they wanted to go to Paris so we went with them, we weren´t doing anything useful anyway, so we did our little tour with them and in the end we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant and had Japanese Curry <3 Later that night we returned to the hotel were we encountered ApokalipsRyder in bed watching french television and eating one of his snacks.

The next four days was the convention of Japan Expo, we were damn excited because of all the kind of stuff our friends had told us! The first day it was quite calm and we were able to see most of the stuff, let me tell you something.. It is huge! I went as Kairi from Kingdom Hearts II!
I also met a great cosplayer which I greatly follow her work especially because of her Yu-Gi-Oh cosplays, ShamanRenji  I was really happy when we were able to talk and that she knew who I was!

On Friday I went as Sailor Moon, we gathered with Lunnacry and her boyfriend, we waited for the ECG finalistst to do their presentation on stage~

On Saturday me and Miguel decided to not use a cosplay because it would be crowded and I had no intention to ruin my cosplay which was already losing sparkles everywhere at the hotel room. Here have a pic with no cosplay on~

On Sunday we didn´t stayed for long, Manon and Agatha were a bit sick so we decided to head to the hotel and afterwards we ate Pizza with them ^^ But we used a new cosplay on Sunday I went as Alisa from Tekken and Miguel went as Dragunov Sergei from Tekken.


On Monday we left but our plane was in the evening so me, Miminhoo and ApokalipsRyder had a really hard time in the airport...
In August we had an convention in the south of Portugal and I went there with LeonorGracias Miminhoo and manon-lightcrafts who was staying there with her family, it was nice, but we best part was definitely sitting outside on a bench to catch the internet.

In my next jornal I write about the September convention, my experience during the ECG, the WCS and other convention held until the end of the year~

I´ve been gone for way too long but lazy jornal is lazy and now look at me now I need to write things that happened the last 6 months!

I start at the beginning of the year, we had a convention called Photoshoot.
Every year it´s held during Carneval in this public location where everybody can go wih and without cosplay! The weather was quite nice thank god! I went as Judai Yuki from Yugioh GX, princess version. My friend Sofy202 created this version based on the original art from Malindachan



In april we had one of the biggest conventions in Portugal names Iber Anime LX. For this convention I did one of my dream cosplays, it wasn´t really a dream because I´ve known this character since last year but I imediatly fell in love with her design and I had to watch the anime: Kuroyukihime, avatar from Accel World. I didn´t know that people would recognise me because from the same creature Sword Art Online was a far more popular anime! I am gratefull for all the people who love my cosplay, it was just a pity that I couldn´t use the wings but luckily for me I used the wings in a shoot one week later!



In May we had Anicomics, which is for me the best convention of the year, maybe because all the people know each other and it´s fun every year with diferent activities. This year I participates in two of them: Eurocosplay and Show of cosplay. Show of Cosplay is a show with cosplayers but with no price, it is just to show their skit and have fun doing it so.
On Saturday I went as Nunally from Code Geass, I made the cosplay a week before, I wanted to use something new. The second day I enterred the Eurocosplay as Kuroyukihime and the show of cosplay with my boyfriend as Miku Romeo x Cinderella aka Cantarella.




In June there was a new convention called Asian Culture Party, which was based on diferent countries: Japan, Korea and Chine. People were expecting big from this convention and there were some flaws. Especially that they focused mainly on Japan and Korea.. A few days before I went with a few friends to a program on television to promote the convention, but they hadn´t any screen time, and couldn´t say everything what they wanted to say, I went as Kairi from Kingdom Hearts II.



As for the own convention I used two old cosplays which I absolute love Salsa from Eternal Sonata, it is so comfortable and cute and I love my piratehat. On the second day I went as Colette Brunel from Tales of Symphonia which I need a decent shoot of since two or three year x.x




Last weekend was a especial event called Festival of Japan, it is a festival they organize of the 470 years of friendship between Japan and Portugal, they have cute stands like Japanese Food, and this year they had more things to introduce to the Anime/Manga comunity, I wanted to do a Yukata, Kaoro from Rurouni Kenshin, but I didn´t have time enough to do so, and it is a really hot day, at least I could run around from one place to the other!



I´m so sorry for not updating this long but I was really lazy!

So I´ll be attending Japan Expo this year! I´m so excited! Who´s coming? =3
