Day Dos of PMX (or I went OMFG at Kenpachi!)

I got decent rest but everyone was up by 7 am, which cut my sleep off by couple of hours.



So yeah I'm up now. Thanks very much, guys.



YEEESSSSSS! I'm fucking up, dammit!



Yuffie! XD Never have I seen someone so beautiful when just waking up.



Yuffie's friend Abram and Melody are talking to each other.



Grabbing free breakfast from hotel, yay!



I will always cherish this picture because right after I snap this picture, Yuffie turned around and hug me. Out of all hugs, this hug felt so sincere so it means a lot to me. Thank you for brightening up my day, Yuffie. You have no idea how much it means to me. I'm blessed to have met ya.

Also, before this picture, she had playing around with my hair because it's all standing up. I find it rather amusing and cute since I haven't got my hair cut in 5 months and I had grow it out for cosplay purposes. It was truly awesome moment for me.



Applying the greasepaint on face then toss suit on and out I went. Few people even stop me on the way to ask me if I'm Groucho Marx, lol. Again, this is one of my another well received cosplays, which makes me very happy.



Chilling with Marly before I hit up reporter kid's panel.



Chatting with reporter kid and his cameraman before the panel starts. I think it means a lot to reporter kid that I show up. I told him that I just want to show him my support.



The panel! It's about why we admire Japanese culture so much and I was able to toss my 2 cents in.



Water station!!! The problem is that there's so few of them in PMX location. :(



Me with Michael, the reporter kid, after the panel.



Walked back to the main area, which is still cramped.



Meet up with Honor.



Final Fantasy gathering!



Nice doll collection.



Sure, please go ahead and shoot first.



Sebastian cosplayer. He's very cool guy, I have met him couple of times and he's been nothing but cool. But damn he has to be one of the most prettiest guys I've ever seen in my whole life. It works to his advantage to pull off any feminine male characters at ease.



Too cool for old school.



Honor is trading the cards with other players.



Walking to Subway because we were very hungry as hell.



Honor and I had enjoy our meals very much. Thank you very much, Subway.



When we walked back to PMX, we saw few great cosplayers like this one.



Another fantastic cosplayer.



Heading to Artist Alley to see my favorite artist.



Artist Alley!!!



He remember me from our previous encounters, which means a lot to me because he literally travel to multiple different cons yet he still act like old friend when he see me.



I asked him to do Grimmjow from Bleach for me and he accepted.



It's privilege to have an original art by him.



The final result! He told me to add him on Facebook so I can find the picture of me with his drawing and I did. Can't wait to see him at future cons.



Sora and Yuffie as Crono and Lucca from Chrono Trigger! OMG yes!!!!



For my sister whose is recovering addict.



May you stay sober, little sis.



I had request this for my own personal photograph but as soon we posed for this picture, we attract like 4 photographers all at once. One of them even want the solo picture of me as Groucho with cigar in mouth so I complied. Easily the most memorable photography session I've been part of.



Tribute to Groucho Marx in 'Duck Soup'.



Only that I lacked the elaborate entrance with lot of dancers and military folks.



Yuffie is chilling around in lobby.



So is Sora.



Me with The Legendary Ness Cosplayer! Met him through our mutual friend and we recognized each other from previous cons. He show up as Kankuro, much to my disappointment because I identified him strongly as Ness.



Honor is all wiped out, LOL. Poor guy.



Chilling around.



Jrzil as Naruto. I was aware of him but I didn't introduce myself to him until at this moment. He's very cool guy with wicked hairstyle (Not that wig!) and fashion sense.



We went up on top floor of parking building for photograph op. I ended up serving as photographer, which I tried my best of my ability.



Yuffie is being badass.



Met up with Zach, whose is cool guy. We walk pretty long distance to famous The Hat restaurant.



Hmm, very tasty!



Abram and Sora.



Cheese fries. I had some but I was too stuffed from my pastrami sandwich.



I had taken multiple pictures of me with Yuffie but she didn't like them so I had to delete them. So she eventually took my camera and snap this pic of us to her satisfactory.

Then we went back to hotel. Yuffie had left to visit her friend and hit up party since she's the bartender (She's the one who served me double shot of Whiskey).



Sora told me that she forgot few essential items so I told her that I'd fill my truck first while she's showering then we can hit up Target. It felt surreal to see her wearing my Tapout shorts, which I used for sleeping.

We went to Target and pick up few stuff for her then we went back to hotel room to rest up.

Here's the general idea of what hotel room looks like.



The trash can is overfilling. It's crazy!



No one was using the drawers except for me and Sora so we have ample room to put our stuff in.



Main table, which is very messy as heck with Yuffie's and Marly's stuff on it.



Me fooling around with camera while Sora is looking on.



That main table is so fierce, OMG!



My snacks.



Watching television.

Then I hit the floor to sleeping.

By all accounts, I heard that there were lot of bitching around while I was soundly sleeping. Melody had enter the room and demanded that Yuffie and Sora stay quiet when they weren't making any sounds at all. Then Abram had to intervened to solve this crisis.

There was a crisis that involved my precious water bottle. :( You have on idea how much it reduced me into saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad panda.
