Seaport Village Cosplay Gathering (or how it ended up being epic of the epic to end all of the epics known to the mankind)
This day is truly amazing time for me because never had I experience such joy and happiness for such long period. I'm truly blessed that I can experience this day because it is very seldom for me to have that chance and I'm happy that I managed to seize it so I have the memories that I can always cherish for rest of my life.
I'm truly grateful that Mark is able to accompanied me on this journey so we can share memories together and help each other out when we need it. If it wasn't for him, the journey would have end abruptly and the day wouldn't be special. Because of him, he turn extraordinary day into something truly spectacular day, which is not easy feat but somehow he did it.
I truly relish every moment of this day because I never want it to end at all, period. This day is what I truly long for and I'm very very very happy that I got to experience it. I actually shed a tear when this day ended so it was very devastating for me.
Time to unleash uber awesome blog! XDDD
I got up bit late, which is around 8:30 am so I elected to pick up my friend an hour later so I text him to keep him update whole time. This enabled me to eat full stacked breakfast since I knew that I wouldn't be eat anything significant until much later today. So I put on my Komui Lee cosplay then drove to my buddy's house to retrieve him and hitting up the trolley on way to the convention cente.r
Mark hooked me up with huge water bottle, which is helpful since it kept me hydrating throughout the day.
That's Mark. He may be my favorite Tobi cosplayer ever. :D
So when the trolley stop at the convention center, we got off and we were an hour early for the cosplay gathering so we decide to hung around the convention center, which is the location of SDCC. This means prime spot for photo ops and less crowded. :D
Look at me, I'm inside SDCC! :D
Mark is terrorizing the SDCC!
It's surreal to see that they're holding a mini con on that day since it's not too crowded and it's very spacey so we can move around freely with ease.
Just outside the exhibition hall. :D
Wait to terrorizing someone.
Gotta stay hydrate, yo!
Chilling like a villain.
Being badass mofo.
Very empty behind me.
Mark may be behind this???
We just walk around on top floors of SDCC and theorizing on how SDCC may expand the space but mostly, we just walk around and impressed the people with our cosplays.
Oh yes.
You shall not pass!
Kicking it back in the back of SDCC.
Too cool for back of the SDCC.
Mark disagreed. :P
That's the area for the line for pre-reg for SDCC '12 during SDCC '11. Mark told me the length of the line and my jaw literally drop to the floor. It's just staggering!
Soon, we hit up the area next to Seaport Village and we saw the festival thingy going on so we just browsing around for fun.
Polly, do you want a cracker?
Polly no likey Tobi.
We search all over the place then we hit the jackpot when we saw colorful cosplayers right next to carousel.
Me with David. Always a pleasure to see him. He's big inspiration to me.
Aww, I got nice hug from adorable Lia.
"Yeah, man, it was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen."
Mark and Lia are talking to each other. I usually hang out with them for the duration of the gathering.
Bunch of pokemon girls cosplayers.
Lia is being Death the Kid from Soul Eater.
Have you?!?
Massage time!
Ocean time!
"I thought I saw the dolphins over there."
"Guys, let's go chill in the shades next to festival."
Lia with cool bird on her arm. XD
Chill time!
I used this time to chatting with Mark and Lia.
One thing about me is that I view gatherings to reinforce the friendships but to create the opening to form a new friendship, which is what I did with Kitsune. I may be bit wary of Kitsune in the past but I stay neutral until I get the opening to establish the dialogue with her, which turn out to be very positive. I'm very very very happy because she provide a lot of insight in someone else so that really help me a lot.
"We gotta get up?"
"To the candy store!"
When I was browsing around in that candy store, one thing that caught my attention the most is...... Coke in glass bottle! I have never had coke in glass bottle so I promptly scoop that one up. I also grab the rock candy, which is homage to urban legend that say if one drink coke and rock candy together, his stomach would explode.
Ohhhhh tasty! :DDD
Oh Leo, you're being silly. :P
Bunch of female Pikachu cosplayers are dancing around.
Chilling around in the back of SDCC and kicking it back.
Dancing off contest starts now!
"Dude, I totally pwned ya at Ninja game!"
There's one hilarious moment when we were all sitting on the ground and Tony was laying back on the ground so his stomach was sticking out. I tapped Lia on the shoulder and she saw me lightly poke Tony's stomach and it jiggles for good few seconds, which prompt very funny reaction from Lia. :DDD
Hybrid of Death the Kid/Tobi!
Oh Mark, you're being silly bastard.
"Yes, Death the Kid pwned very much, despite the fact that I only saw few episodes of Soul Eater."
Giving Lia a nice hug.
Lia is giving me a nice hug.
Leo is being silly asian stud muffin.
Leo is being pwned by Pikachu.
Heading back to Seaport Village.
Ice cream!
Huddling time!
Everyone want to hit up carousel so they went there. However, few elected to not to participated, including me.
Wheeee!
"Oh man, carousel is so much fun!"
"Well, this is farewell."
Everyone is leaving to go home so Mark and I hit up the trolley to go back home. :(
Mark is slightly emo.
*sighing* Why must this day ends?!? :(
Few minutes later, young lady got on the trolley on next stop and struck up a conversation with me and Mark because we were wearing the cosplays. She asked us about the gatherings and all that stuff. She seems to be genuinely interesting about stuff so we invited her to sit with us for duration of the ride.
Her name is Alexis and she's into anime/manga/cosplay, yes!
She just had came back from Santa Barbara and it's very surreal moment because she live awfully close to Mark. They literally live about few minutes driving from each other, which is just insane. I used this time to reinforce and solidified the rapport between us, which works out for us.
I offer her ride home, which she accepts. However, I told her since Mark and I hadn't eaten anything all day today so we would have to bring her to chinese buffet with us and she accept it. I'm glad that she didn't mind so it's more time for us to hang out together.
Mark at chinese buffet. He only had 2 plates. Wimp. :P
Only had couple of plates. Wimp. :P
4 plates. I'm the heroic cosplayer. :DDD
I keed, I keed but I think it's good for us to enjoy the good meal together. Alexis tried to pay her share of the bill but I immediately shot it down and proceed to paid for her share because she's truly cool girl and I really enjoy her company a lot.
We hit up Alexis' place and it was kinda awkward to meet her family since Mark and I didn't expect them to pop in. However, it was cool to see few pictures of Alexis and anime posters in her room. :D
Walking to Taco Bell. This was pretty long walk. However, I again view this time to reinforce the rapport between us and this little trip succeed, in my own opinion. I'm very fortunate that Mark is very good talker so he can enable the conversation.
We hit up Taco Bell then walk back to her place. It was this time when I found out that she had never attended gatherings and cons before so Mark and I are planning to change that since cons are just awesome experiences in their own rights. I even told Alexis that I would be buying her the badge for next year's Anime Conji since it's damn awesome con.
Tried to hook up system to the TV but it doesn't work.
Family suddenly pop in so we elected to go out.
We had time limit of couple of hours so we tried to decide on the activities. I suggest kids playground where Mark and I frequented with Tobi so it's the ideal for us since it doesn't cost anything and it's fun place.
I drove them to the kids playground near my house.
Whoooooooooo!
Me with Alexis. :DDD Btw, she's wearing my shirt. XDDD
Mark with Alexis.
Very cool chick, yo.
Climbing the monkey bars.
Chilling with Alexis on top of the monkey bars.
After half an hour, we decide to hit up my house for gaming session so I was cool with it.
Playing Resident Evil 4 on my PS2. :D
It was pretty fun session since we were just mellowing around and having a lulz time.
Playing Street Fighter game with each other. Mark is too overpowered for us but we had fun just the same so it's cool.
Then Alexis had to go home so I feel very sad to drop her off at her place. :( It just suck to know that all good times must come to end.
Thank you, Alexis, for hanging out with me and Mark. I truly appreciated it a lot and you're stunning! I'm sooooo happy that you enter the same Trolley car with us so we can meet each other and having a fun time together. I will always cherish the memories forever.
Aww Mark, aren't you just adorable?
Nerd herd C unite! :DDD
Then I drop off Mark at his home afterwards. :(
I actually shed a tear when I was driving home because I truly had magnificent and incredibly memorable day. For long time, I was hoping that this type of day would arrive and it did so I'm very very very happy that it did came. I will always relish every moment and replay certain scenarios in my head over and over because they're just amazing.
Couldn't have done it without you, Mark. I'm truly happy that I met ya, dude. Without you, this day wouldn't be soooo incredible, especially the times with Alexis.
It's damn shame that it has to end.
However, I hope that I will continue to produce good memories on this scale so I'll be very happy guy.
Very spectacular day, that's for sure. :DDDDD
Good times, great memories!
