Yesterday, April 5 2009, I put on my best GothLoli outfit and me and my dad drove over to SM Megamall to attend one of the first Anime Conventions of the year.

Organized by Otakuzine Anime Magazine, Ozine Fest '09 is a fun gathering for all otakus and hobbyists out there. It was held in Megatrade Hall 2, and lasts for three days. It began on April 3, I just couldn't go on the first two days I was real busy XD...

Entering from the parking lot, cosplayers were scattered everywhere with innocent bystanders staring at their strange attires. Some people were staring at me, and some even took my picture when I wasn't looking. There was this lady that came up to me and said, "Excuse me miss, can I take your picture?"

I was a little confused and wondered if she was actually talking to me. When I realized she was, I struck a pose. It was real fun. Another was when my dad was taking a picture of me on his iPhone, this guy in a Vampire Knight Night-Class uniform pulled out his Powershot and aimed.

As we were waiting for the next cosplay participants, I was watching the people pass by. Suddenly, a girl in black with a familiar resin figure nestled comfortably in her arms comes up...

"Hyde?" I called out and the girl stops, as well as her companion.

It was Tinneetintin (I can't seem to put the link up right, how strange...) with Gackt and her sister. She took a photo of me with him. God was he heavy. I never really got to hold someone like him. I thought I might drop him...

Hello everyone, been a while. It's been months since I last posted. School was pretty hectic, as everybody had to fuss around projects and clearances. 

Last March 17, 2009, a new member was to join my family.

Mom and I have decided to get a LUTS-Kid Delf Aru. I remember the first time I saw her. I had found that the standard SD was a tad too big for me, and so I scoured the net for an affordable, high-quality MSD. I checked the Volks MSD's, but I didn't think I found the type of expression I was looking for. I then checked Bobobie line, cheap, but they didn't really catch my eye. I then heard a lot from LUTS and so I gave it a try. I checked out the Kid Delf line and as I scrolled down the page, my eyes were immediately glued to a picture on the bottom left corner. I clicked it and found the very image I was looking for. It was like the vague image I had in my mind had been realized in a photo.

I called Mom and she had the same reaction. She found her absolutely adorable and she fit right into the budget. I was going to order her with the KDW-42 (Blonde) wig and request her to have eyes in [MEDIUM BLUE].

After a week, I attended the Casa Xocolat Meet and met a lot of the members and made friends. It was my first meet and I was absolutely culture shocked. (Thank you Krishna, it was the perfect term!) It was my first time to see BJD's live and I was right, the standard SD really was too big for me.  I was able to get a good look at  darknessfatale's Reaiah and magiqa's Lori. Lori was supposed to be as big as Aru and she was just right. I wasn't able to join the After Meet and go to The Shelf (damn it!). The meet had made me want a BJD all the more.

Now that it’s been practically four days, I’m already filled with excitement. I haven’t been sent word that she’s already been shipped. It’s nerve-wracking. I’m always thinking about her, and what name I should give her. Getting a BJD has become a dream come true for me, so I want to make it special. I have a long list of names and they’re all so nice, but it’s hard to decide. I hope I could last until she arrives. 

A friend once told me she couldn't eat right while waiting for her dolls, and it's happening to me. I wish someone could help me calm down.
