Happy New Year's Eve 2013

Such a surreal feeling that this blog will soon be 10 years old.

It has been my companion for so long. What's more, I've been loyal all these years despite having created other blog accounts like LJ, Wordpress, even Tumblr (which I only reblog. Once in a blue moon, I post a cosplay picture or two, but that's it.).

Tumblr-kun, this is Blogger, your senpai.

And many years down the road, this blog will continue to accompany me and see me through my ups and downs. My blog, and my journals. Full of fangirling, fanboying, ranting and raving, laughter, tears, joy, sadness, anger, disappointment.

Life of a lone wolf.

Life of a hikki.

Life of someone who is fascinated by the wonders of the universe.

I've been tagged in several Thank You posts on FB, and I am grateful as well for remembering me. I won't post one because I'm at a loss as to what to write.

2013 was a colourful year. The first time I encountered so much shit, so much emotional turmoil, witnessed so much drama, that I had actually returned to my inner self for a period of time just so that I could try to salvage what remained of my sanity and self.

So much self-doubt. So much reflection. So much pondering. So much food for thought.

So..unlike myself.

Our friendship was severely tested. But we got through.

Only time will tell what happens in 2014.

Holy crap. They have Rui's Masquerade costume. About $100.

But noooooooo lemme wait and see first OTL Because, I have plans to clear for the year 2014, and my Gokai sabers to make.

Finally a Christmas post.

Seeing this makes me happier for some reason. Sigh...besides looking at more LOTR posts on tumblr.

Elves. ^^

I wish I can play my Maple, but I still can't log in. Hope the admin replies, or else...

bloody hell....

If being in a relationship means jeopardizing our friendship, or putting your partner as priority and forgoing your friends (even unintentionally), then I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life.

I'm not taking this lightly. No matter how much I try to ignore, to put it at the back of my mind, it keeps surfacing. No one knows how bloody hard it is for me to actually accept people in my life, to accept acquaintances as close friends. I don't want to paint myself a tragic story, don't think I'm trying to earn sympathy votes, so shut the hell up and cease the thought before I kick you.

I've been most accommodating so far. Not by choice, and only if I can afford it.

Forget it. The more I think, the more I want to break the wall in my room. I could just save myself the trouble and withdraw from everything. Save myself the trouble and keep to myself for indefinite periods of time. Avoid contact with them, immerse myself in work, catch up on videos, do cosplans.

No wonder they say, as long as you keep yourself occupied, you have time for little else. Including unnecessary, useless thoughts.

Never mind. It's obvious that my points didn't get through at all. I will shut up before my initial neutral feeling escalates to irritation.

It's not the bloody first time already. We all have the right to be irritated and angry at things. But sometimes, just because someone wants to let the matter rest doesn't mean the other party wants the same. It's not so much of trying to stir trouble, but more along the lines of addressing the damn problem right now so that it doesn't happen again, or it escalates to uncontrollable heights.

I'm not the best adviser, neither am I extremely sympathetic. But most of the time, when I asked why didn't we address the issues earlier, I get ignored or brushed aside. Dude, I'm not transparent.

I may be a kuudere, but people seen to have a misunderstanding that kuuderes are emotionless and more tolerant of negative feedback. Doesn't mean we don't have feelings. We just hide it better than the rest. And we are apathetic part/most of the time. Still, saying inconsiderate things is just as insulting as to the next person.

Nevermind. Don't mind me. I'll just keep to myself and stay out of your life. Can't be bothered anymore.

Opinions and expression of thought

I don't want to start my Christmas day on a relatively solemn mood, but it matters not since I don't celebrate Christmas. First of all, a disclaimer - I am not pissed, nor angry, nor disappointed, nor sad. I just want to bring it up so that I can put it out of my mind afterward. Let's just say, it is a neutral feeling on my part, the point where you don't exactly feel anything. Neither positive nor negative.

When I first decided to cosplay a certain character, I did it because, hey, why not, it's not as if I don't like the series or the character? I even asked for quotations, with the intention of getting the materials and all. (Thank god I haven't gotten started) It was also a "I don't want to form a team. You want to cos, feel free to join." thing, something which I agree and have no cause or reason to say or feel otherwise.

Then, I got a "Do you mind if someone else takes your character and maybe pick another one? Because someone else would rather cos this than another character." At that time, I was too hung up over LOTR to feel annoyed or anything that would dampen my mood. Hence my reaction was "Ok. But if I give it to someone else, I'll pull out. I don't have any other character I am interested in."

How would you feel if someone told you that? If it were a character I really, really love, or very into, or it were a series I really, really like, then I will raise hell and high water and gods be damned about the repercussions. Like toku and Maple Story. I am no pushover, but I can compromise. I consider other opportunities, more chances to cosplay something I want, to push forward a plan, even money-saving techniques, if I drop it.

Things might have been better if it were of my own volition instead. At least it wouldn't come across as being forced, even if it isn't.

On a more serious note, I will murder all of them if they tell me they want to drop TWEWY, AFTER they were quite insistent I be their Neku. It's been more than a year since they wanted a team. Especially after I've gotten my costume and wig already. I will hear NO excuses about wanting to push other plans first just because said plan was decided on a whim. I can excuse postponing because you can't make it for an event or you fell sick or something unexpectedly last minute crops up. BUT anything else, I will make sure my displeasure is heard, felt and experienced for days.

*sigh*

Time to go back to my stuff...

KamiAso (from a long time ago)

Kamigami no Asobi - Apollon’s Ends

Apollon looks so cute in his god form.

http://tatsu-to-mamo-no-atm.tumblr.com/post/65192728821/route-sun-god-continues-on

Omfg TSUKITO DID YOU BORROW MUKKUN'S DRESS OR SOMETHING. At least Hades looks decent as the King.

Thoth end

What. What the hell.

Hades
Kamigami no Asobi - Hades’s Endings

HADES COME LEMME GIVE YOU A HUG WHAT IS THIS. Omg ALL his endings are quite bittersweet what is this. The only one I find ok is Fate end 1, where Apollon decides to share half of the burden of the curse. Such a sweet nephew. And Love end 2. I don't agree with the blogger that it's not a good ending, mainly because I don't mind the underworld lol. Dude, it's Hades. What do you expect? Maybe I could meet Thanatos? XD Or pay a visit to Osiris?

http://www.kamiaso.com/uranai.php

I got Loki the first time. LOL

And Hades the second time.

Dammit what happened to my Maple? It says my user's already logged in, or there's something wrong with my server. OTL I restarted my com but the same issue occurs.

I was supposed to accept one of my kids' characters, lol. I make a point not to add my kids on FB (unless they are graduating/have graduated) but I've no issue adding them if they happen to play the same game.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu dammit I changed my password but the same problem still remains =.= I've sent an email to the admin, and hope they get back to me. Urgh. In the meantime I created another account. ArdRigh, my Mercedes, and Sgaile, my Phantom. (I WILL WAIT FOR XENON TO BE BACK. I LOVE MY BABY TOO MUCH.)

Bloody hell I don't even know what happened. All I did was log out from my Kanna. Then the issue came.

First image is DJ in part of the Kuro Set - Kuro hat, Kuro Cape, Kuro Suit, Kuro Energy Sword.

Second image is DJ wearing a nice, fancy Santa suit.

Which I think makes him look adorable. Haha.

Poor Legolas

http://lawyerupasshole.tumblr.com/post/38672105559

SHIT

I DIED LAUGHING.

OMFG

POOR LEGOLAS. (My initial reaction was that, before I burst out laughing.)

*discreetly saves the Lee Pace gifs* Because let's face it, he makes a really, enviably pretty lady.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8J-TJa68-s

FOUND IT. THE PART.

Now that I've sobered, I want to know what kind of wig was used in that show. Seriously, the way it flows so smoothly like some freaking hair advertisement. I wish my long wigs can do that. It'll make photos involving hair-flipping so much easier.

Bweh.

=====

http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com

AH THIS IS SO COOL. Better yet, the first thing I clicked on was Thranduil's Hall.

Is there one with Simarillion? It'll be so much easier to understand the stories inside. OTL

AU fanfics for LOTR

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9357902/1/All-That-Remains

This.fic.is.good.

AU yes, but who cares. I get to see the fatherly side of Thranduil, I am a HUGE fan of assassin elves, elves, more elves, a new enemy that's almost primitive and who the hell cares for Sauron or Morgoth. It's been a long time since I read an adventure fic with zero romance. Because, I tend not to bother with romance for fantasy stories? I don't know, my love for adventure supersedes romance by a huge margin. Not saying I don't appreciate it - dude, I get my fair share of teen romance in those young adult fantasy novels, which I cringe at times. So cheesy. *shivers*

Granted, I don't openly express my distaste for cheesy romance (yes I'm looking at you, baka kitty). I do roll my eyes discreetly though....*innocent look*

I'm finding it tedious to understand the Simarillion. Too many names to remember. I need a chart, if not I will have no freaking idea who are the gods, who founded the elf races, who fought who etc.

Bweh.

Merely stating a fact

If not for skype and whatsapp, I may find myself distancing from my current group of friends. Once I mentioned it, beginning my sentence with "Sadly". They may view it as a joke, but I don't. I was serious. I had always moved on. I barely keep in contact with my schoolmates. I bet most would have forgotten about me, unless they recognize my face. Or are updated through Facebook. Even so, I am not so updated on Facebook now, only popping in to check for updates and notifications.

If I hadn't downloaded whatsapp, the possibility of me being a shadow among them will rise greatly. Even our skype chats seem to be dying down, what with people working, doing assignments, gaming, doing props.

Frankly speaking, I'm tired of being the one initiating the conversation. Even if it's just a small greeting. It is not my style. I don't like it; I don't like doing it. I join conversations, I don't start them unless I have to. Why must I make this effort only to find myself waiting, most of the time with little hope of a reply, wasting my time on unnecessary things like this?

No more. I'm not a social butterfly. I don't initiate PMs on Facebook, I don't have anything of interest to talk to people unless they start the convo first. A greeting is fine. Anything else is not up to me to initiate.

No more. A firm reminder to myself. No more.

No more.

Thranduil cosplay and reference

http://fuckablenerdstuff.tumblr.com/tagged/thranduil-cosplay

http://www.celebrationgeneration.com/blog/2013/11/25/so-im-dressing-my-husband-up-as-thranduil/

If I ever want to cosplay Thranduil, or even look for reference, these links will be excellent. The boot covers are excellent. I want to see if I can adapt them for Phantom's boot covers.

I am on a Thranduil roll.

Also, part of the reason why I'm actively searching for Thranduil poses, is because he (or rather Lee Pace's expressions) can be useful guides for Hades. My dear God of the Underworld's expressions are almost pained half the time. But that's not the point. Thing is, the way Lee Pace carried himself as Thranduil, I want to try using it on Hades, namely because the head position is somewhat similar.

I try to learn poses from the actors and idols I see. They can be pretty inspiring and useful, especially for someone whose default facial expression is kuu. ^^; And I'm best at pulling off kuudere characters.

http://spadow.tumblr.com/post/69622700501

Luminous and Eunwol vs Black Mage!

URGH WHAT IS THIS. I NEED MORE.

Taking a break from the LOTR madness I found myself in. Like damn, when was the last time I actively fangirled over a character?

Joe.

I didn't fangirl over Mukkun and Himuro this hard. As for Haru, it was an intense but quiet fangirling.

Joe still remains my number 1 to-die-for character.

I'M ON LOTR ROLL

Because I want to see more elves.

So far, I like the Mirkwood Elves the best? They're wilder, haha. I mean, because I kinda envision my royal elves to have some kind of ethereal beauty (aka, looking no older than thirty, damn them).

And yes, milord Thranduil. Fabulous diva, awesome, sassy, sexy as hell, please excuse the fan here. Legolas is pretty yes, as all elves are, but milord Thranduil holds my attention far more than his son does.

OMG LEGOLAS AND GIMLI WHY ARE YOU TWO SO PRECIOUS. I REALLY LIKE THEIR FRIENDSHIP HAHAHA BROTP FOREVER. (No I refuse to accept any BL ships in LOTR. It's just, so wrong. Guh. I will no sooner burn my eyes in acid than see any BL in LOTR.)

MILORD THRANDUIL

MY APOLOGIES. I AM ENRAPTURED BY ELVES AND FAERIES ALIKE. IT IS MOST UNBECOMING OF A HUMAN MORTAL LIKE ME TO VIEW THE FAIRFOLK WITH MY UNWORTHY EYES.

Shut the hell up who gives a shit. Only faeries enchant. Elves are warriors. Faeries are fairfolk.

I love both.

I watched the Hobbit - Desolation of Smaug. Fangirled over Thranduil and the elves (Legolas is pretty, yes, but I honestly prefer his father. MILORD).

And now, I'm watching the LOTR trilogy. Extended version.

Tenimyu feels

あいつこそがテニスの王子様 remains one of my top few favourite Tenimyu songs ever. Other favourites are Season, On My Way, Remember Hyoutei, Tezuka's song whose title eludes me, Kagami no ore no naka II (why the hell does Hyoutei have nice songs what is this). Fuurinkazan isn't a favourite, but it's a song I like to sing just because. The hell of it XD And Do Your Best, not another top favourite, but it's a nostalgic song that guided me through my NAPFA tests during my JC years (don't ask).

So much feels for DL7. And the Dream Live 2013 Special Guest version I was watching, omg. So much feels for the older cast in 1st Season. So nostalgic =w= But I like how the dances were better choreographed in 2nd Season. And the singing. Still, I will forever love Shirotan as my Tezuka. While Wada is my pretty Tezuka. And TakiEiji is THE MAN. THE TEZUKA TEN YEARS LATER. VERY HANDSOME. It's like, Shirotan and Dai-chan are both Tezuka in his university days, TakiEiji the Tezuka in the working society, Wada the pretty Tezuka from high school.

Oh yeaaah.

Tezuka-buchou, still my top favourite Tenipuri character. Followed by Yukimura and Choutarou.

But 2nd Season isn't easy to find. 网舞第二季 issit?

Hoshikuzu

Hoshikuzu live

FictionJunction. So much love.

Hoshikuzu. So much love.

Kajiura Yuki Discography =D

Time to torrent

I didn't know Velvet no Inori is published in 2004 from this album called Fantasy Sound & Reading: The Velveteen Rabbit.

Now I know.

And I still prefer Hoshikuzu.

I want to arrange a song or two for solo instruments and piano accompaniment. Maybe a mash-up if I can. To avoid copyright issues, these songs will be for my own listening pleasure and non-downloadable. Inspired by The Piano Guys.

I want to see how this will play out on Logic Pro.

The issue is, which songs.....

I have several ideas.

1. Kotonoha - Piko
2. Trust Me - Matsushita Yuya
3. Splash Free - STYLE FIVE

On so much a random thought, this reminds me - I haven't memorised Byakuya True Light and Michishirube acoustic yet. Time to learn.

Random cosplay musings

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=26484672

The Ukyo fanart in this link is really pretty.

I really love Ukyo. He's what you might call the tragic hero. Poor guy.

But we aren't cosplaying Amnesia anymore.

We move on. Our next big target: Maple Story.

I intend to do my best to pull off a Phantom people will remember.

=====

I am glad we are reshooting Gokaiger. Because this time, we will have weapons.

This time, we will hade ni ikuze!

Can't wait. I find it somewhat unnatural if Joe doesn't have weapons. With weapons, it's easier to pose. The Mobirates are one thing, but they can only do so much. (Unless we do crack shots.) I will do my best to be a convincing Joe.

CAPTAIN AMERICA THE WINTER SOLDIER

IT'S STEVE VS BUCKY

AHHH MY GODDDDSSSS

Sorry, because, I love Captain America? I ship Loki/Steve like burning? And I like the action scenes? Marvel movies are pretty cool to watch, but I can never get down to reading the comics because Marvelverse is so complex I give up.

=====

I have a sudden desire to rewatch Gokaiger. WTF

And Garo too. OTL

And this is coming from someone who usually has no patience to rewatch shows. Look, I actually rewatched Garo s1 and s2 twice. And certain Gokaiger episodes more than 4 times.

I want to shoot Gokaiger.

I am fired up after seeing a friend's Fourze Rabbit Hutch shoot photos. Quite pleased that the photogs wanted to shoot our Gokaiger team. I am deeply honoured.

Now to make the Gokai sabers OTL I must find a day and plan.

And I will embrace the thought of a Gokaiger vs Kyoryuger shoot as well. I mean, it'll be damn cool? I can already imagine Joe vs Souji and Ucchi. (This calls for a crossover fic)

More importantly, I know most of the cosplayers in the Kyoryuger team. =D It's fun fangirling/fanboying over toku and the actors.

What. The. Fuck.

I'm....dreading it. And yet not. Because I can guarantee that the OST will be good. Why else do you think I still watch otoge-turned-anime despite the quality and awkwardness? (I actually like La Corda and Neo Angelique Abyss so I will not have anyone bashing them, especially La Corda.) Because I really like otoge music.

Call me shallow. Call me a musictard. I will stand by the music I listen to.

It means a lot to me.

Now to find a song or two which I really, really want to arrange for my own listening pleasure. And of course I will prepare the score for my own use ^^

Can't wait to start using the software (Logic Pro X).

Gaburincho of Music

Kyoryuger Gaburincho of Music movie is out! Haha well sentai movies have always been short - only half hour - so I'm not surprised. Sentai crossover movies, on the other hand, are more than one hour. Sentai specials are about one hour.

Kamen Rider movies are more than one hour.

Damn, I like the theme song in the movie. Funny how I listened to the music before the movie came out. Ok, maybe not, since the OST came out before the movie.

Shit shit shit I really love the music. I love the part they sang together. I am a huge sucker for music. toku + music wins my heart and soul.

Oh King you are such an idiot. You need something shoved at your face before

Guhhhh I really must watch Kyoryuger from where I left off. The character songs are awesome. (I lament the lack of Gokaiger character songs.)

But I need to work on props.

*continues lamenting*

New wallpaper! =)

I created a new wallpaper for this blog out of photoshop. My very first wallpaper using photoshop ^^ Sadly I can't draw anything, so please don't tell me to draw. I'll fail.

><

I'm a musician. Not a graphic designer. Or artist that wields paints and needles like weapons. My weapon is the instrument.

I...have to remember that when it comes to accessories, I have the option to glam things further.

Because Phantom is heavily accessorized. The accessories I see in the picture, and those I cannot see in the picture, are left to my own discretion. I won't do that to toku, or other cosplays, but this guy. I want to glam him up to the best of my abilities. More jewels. More gold.

SO CUTE. ALL THE TEMPLATES.

I mentioned that I wanted to make Phantom and Aria plushies before cosfest. I will plan it. I think I will make Aria first, then I can use it for photoshoot.

Forgotten hero Eun Wol

OMG A LONG-HAIRED BISHIE

More than that, HE MIGHT BE THE PIRATE CLASS HERO

OTL I want to play this character already. I mean, look, those Hero pictures? Phantom and Luminous really quarrelled to no end huh. Him trying to stop the fight, so cute. =w=

Thank you Nexon. More photoshoot ideas. And my friends and I will NOT be content with just one photoshoot. Not enough, for the amount of effort we put in. Definitely not enough. And we managed to drag Chris as our Eun Wol ^^ I mean, since the class comes out at the end of the year in KMS, she has time to wait for the costume and gameplay to be out.

CHROME REDESIGN

OH

MY

GOD

NOW THAT I AM VERY TEMPTED TO COSPLAY. But erm, clear current plans first...?

EDIT: LOOK HERE

LOOK AT THE REDESIGNS.

OH MY GOD IF JON ACTUALLY SELLS THESE AS AN ARTBOOK I WILL BUY THEM IMMEDIATELY.

I wonder if I can do a Chrome cosplan someday, because I WILL wear my cosplay hoodies. Most of them are made of PVC and hence they keep me warm. Plus it saves me the trouble of using an umbrella when drizzles occur ^^

Hmm, Xenon or Chrome......wait and see then.

Marginal #4 lyrics
http://jpoptime.com/marginal-4-hyakuman-kai-no-ai-revolution/

So far I only found Hyaku man kai no ai revolution romaji lyrics. I really like this song's introduction. My favourite Marginal #4 songs are 100Revo and Masquerade. Not saying I dislike Love Saviour (it was my first song in fact), just that preference-wise 100Revo and Masquerade have more impact over me.

Nah, well, I was looking at a FB friend's Phantom WIP and it got me thinking, why can't I save myself the trouble (why the HELL do I even want paper mache???) and just use a harder material? I mean, I already HAVE the templates.

Hmm, time to replan my accessories.
