Future cosplays in mind (cont.)

So this is my continuing of my list of future cosplays. More for the female characters, but also a few male charcters as well:


Shikamaru Nara (Naruto Shippuden):
I'm not giving up on Sakura or anything, but after I cosplay her, I want to cosplay Shikamaru because I realized that he and I are very alike. Like him, I'm very smart at everthing but I'm super lazy at certain things and I hate getting involved in unnessary things. Yeah and sometimes, I like looking at the clouds like he does and imagine what my life would be like in the future. But Shikamaru is an awesome character as he grows older and stronger with his jutsu and fighting skills. So I like him for that. He'll be the first male that I'll cosplay because the other charcters of Naruto don't really fit ME like Shikamaru does ^__^
I'll cosplay him for whenever there's a con.



Mello (Death Note):
Now here's a male character that I absoultly love the most!!! He looks like a girl and eats chocolate. So I'm very much like him and besides my sister wants to cosplay as Matt or Near because their's sort of a bond with those characters in the anime and manga. Well, I love Mello and I can't wait to cosplay him and I think he's a better choice for me than Misa because I have buff shoulders from swimming and Misa doesn't have buff shoulders >.< Oh well, Mello's awesome ;)
I'll cosplay him next year.



Roxas (Kingdom Hearts 2):
I know that I said I'll be cosplaying Xion and Kairi, but I really want to cosplay as Roxas someday. Just because he's Sora's Nobody and he carries the Keyblade and his story is very interesting in the game. And I like the fact that he tries to love Xion and Axel but can't because he doesn't have a heart :( I feel sorry for him.
I'll cosplay him whenever I go to Disneyland or Halloween.




Now let's move on back to the female characters:


Yuki Cross (Vampire Knight):
The manga is awesome, the anime is...ok but not great. Anyway, Yuki is mostly the main character and she has a crush on both Zero and Kaname who are both Vampires. So if you're a fan of Twilight of some other vampire novel, you should read the manga. Anyway, I love the school uniforms they have because they're very interesting but hard to make. It will probably be a challenge to sew the costume, but I think I can do it :)
I'll cosplay her at winter conventions because the uniform is a long sleeve and I easyily get sweaty.



Tenma-chan (School Rumble):
Cute naive Tenma has a crush on Karasuma but a guy named Harima has a crush on Tenma. A whole love triangle soon begins. I loved the show from the very start because of the love triangle. And I learned to love Tenma's cute funny ways of how she acted. She's very much like Konata (Lucky Star) but with a higher voice and a problem with her weight. lol. The whole series is really good, you should check it out.
I'll cosplay her at summer conventions.



Juliet (Romeo x Juilet):
This is probably the best animes that is based on Shakesperes greatest plays EVER!!! The love between these two star crossed lovers last a little bit longer than 3 days and there's more action and more fantasy then you'll ever know. Anyway, Juliet is a character I've been meaning to cosplay because I love her dress and how it flows so nicely. But I can imagine that it must be heavy to wear and very hot. So I could probably cosplay her when she was boy. idk. We'll see.
I'll cosplay her whenever the seasons are cooler.



Haruhi Suzumiya (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya the video game):
I believe that her costume does come from the game, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I love the style of this costume and I like that she's carrying a sword (I have a thing for characters with swords). The style is very interesting and looks easy to make and wear. Though the boots will be hard to find and make so I'll probably have trouble with that. But other than that, I love this costume and I love this character.
I'll cosplay her at Fanime 2011 (if possible).




So there you go. That's all (for sure) I have to show you guys. I hope to find more males to cosplay because I have the body and almost the face for it. I just don't know who else for the moment, but until then: Catch you later ;D

Future cosplays in mind

Remember when I gave you guys the list of my future cosplays that I had in mind?
Well there's been some changes in the characters that I want to be, since I'm starting to have more people join my unknown name group (we haven't figured out a name yet). It's starting to grow pretty fast for some strange reason and my friend Oscar keeps telling me it's because I'm "so popular"!
Yeah right! Ha ha! Me...popular? Flat chance on that!
But I think it's because I'm really nice to everybody even though I'm the "silent type" and the "bookworm"! IDK!!!

Anyway, here is the list of the changes of my future cosplays. I've also added a few new ones that I've also had in mind:


Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist):
Orginally I was gonna be Edward Elric but I found someone who is shorter than me and has a younger brother who is perfect for Al because he is taller than her. Besides, Riza is an awesome character and she carries a gun with her all the time! It's totally cool, but her costume will be a difficult challenge to make as well as Roy Mustang's.
I will cosplay her at Fanime 2011 (hopefully).



Kagami (Lucky Star):
I've decided to do Kagami instead because I'm a lot like her and I want my little sister to cosplay as Tsukasa because we stay really close together. And besides, I'm not really THAT short as Konata, but I still like her :)
I will cosplay her sometime this year or next year.



Haine Otomiya (The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross):
I love this character a whole lot and I love that she speaks out whenever she pleases. This popular manga series has a twist of Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket because of the love triangles and the openly minded characters. I got sucked into it completely and I've always loved the main character Haine ever since. You should check out the manga, it's really good :)
I'll cosplay her at Fanime 2011.



Kairi (Kingdom Hearts 2):
I love this character because she seems to be the only main female character throughout the whole MAIN game series. Also, my sister wants to cosplay as Sora, because she's a hard core Kingdom Hearts fan too, so that's why I want to cosplay as Kairi. I'll probably do Roxas too someday, but Flavio will being doing him. Anyway, I like this costume more because it's not too short as her first costume and this one makes her look more grown up.
I'll cosplay her at Fanime 2011.



Xion (Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days):
When I started playing the game on my Nintendo DS lite, I immeditaly was like, "I have to cosplay as Xion!" because she has black hair and she gets to carry the keyblade!!! Throughout most of the game, she does seem pretty useless and doesn't really do much at all. But as the game continues, she seems important. Though her story is pretty sad and so is the ending. Unless you've played the game, you know what I'm talking about, if you haven't please go play it, it's AWESOME!!! Anyway, that's why I want to cosplay as her because like me, she was treated as if she were useless and unimportant. But Roxas treated her like an actual friend rather than a nobody. Oh wait! They are Nobodies!!! Heh-heh!
I'll cosplay her at Fanime 2011 or at Anime Expo. It depends on how many people I have for Organization XIII.



So there you go (so far). All the female characters I want to cosplay in the future. I'll post up the male characters in my next blog.
I know that a lot of them are posted up for Fanime next year, but that's because I don't know.
Like for Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days, you need about 13 or 14 people to complete Organization XIII and that would probably take a while to get that many people to actually cosplay as them and that's a lot of money in the bank to be spending on for either Fanime or Anime Expo. But don't worry, I'm more than determined to make it happen and I'll make sure that everyone will go to it.

I never give up on anything, you can count on that ;)

Well, I have to finish my homework and go to sleep. Don't worry, I'll post up my future male cosplays tomorrow because I have a lot that I want to cosplay. I just feel sorry for myself that I won't be cosplaying Edward Elric anymore :( But I should be happy for my friend that she is.

Good night ;)

So many things to do!

I've got a lot on my mind these days and it's mostly cosplay rather than school and homework >.<

I mean, yesterday I went to Joanns with Flavio and Raquel (Jordin had other things to do) and we got our patterns and only I got my fabric. Yeah, I was the only one who could afford the fabric pretty much, but hopefully next week everyone will buy their fabric and then we'll finally start sewing.
It's starting to annoy me now that we haven't even started and everybody thinks we have plenty of time because the Ani Vent isn't until July. Well in my opinion: WE DO NOT!
You see, I kind of want to make our costumes as soon as possible because it's almost for that time of year again for picture perfectness and if we slow down too much, we'll miss it!

I'm kind of hoping that when we're done making both our Naruto Shippuden and Fruits Basket costumes that we can go up to Yosemite Valley and take some awesome photos in our cosplay. Mostly because Naruto has a forest-like feel to it and Yosemite is the perfect choice. Fruits Basket has more of an orchard feel to it so we'll probably do the photos at my place because my house is surrounding by orchard fields and they're all so beautiful during the flower season.
I'm not sure "when" we'll do the photos, but hopefully when we're done with our costumes and when it's summer because the mountains are still covered in snow right now so it's the not really the perfect time to do it.

Also, I'm still searching for a Naruto because Phil is no longer doing it with us :(

He gets grounded waaaay too much.

So I'm looking at high school boys that I know because I don't know anyone at college who has the time and besides, high school boys tend to be more wackier than college boys and that's exactly who Naruto is :D
I hope I find somebody soon because I'm desperate to start sewing!!!!

Okay, changing subject but it's still about cosplay. I've changed my mind about cosplaying as Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist because I found somebody else who is shorter than me and is a bigger fan of Edward than me. Her name is Ivone and she is an awesome college friend of mine that I love dearly.
So anyway, she decided that she really wanted to cosplay as Edward because she's short and she has a younger brother who is really tall. Which is perfect because he'll be Al in his human form because making a metal armor suit is too much to handle and besides, I didn't know anybody who would Al to begin with.

So now, I'm gonna cosplay as Riza because my little sister is going to be Winry and she's that crazy enough to wear a strapless black bra and pants out in public.
Me, I'm not that crazy because I know a lot of guys would be chasing me for wearing very little clothing, so I'm going to stick to the blue uniform that Riza wears. Besides, she's awesome and she carries a gun!

Flavio will be Roy Mustang (of course) so that makes it even more awesome and Jordin will be that guy who always has a cig in his mouth and admires Mustang for saying, "Tiny mini skirts!" lol. I'm not sure about Raquel though, but she has to be a guy because of how her body size is.

Well, I'm gonna take a shower and hit the hay so good night ^______^

Wisdom teeth, oh how I hate you!

So last Thursday I got all my wisdom teeth pulled out and I was seriously dizzy and poofy from that stuff that the densists gave me. I wasn't sure what it was, but all I know is that it made a mad drunk woman.

I mean, I was talking and acting very strange like a drunk person but I don't remember what I said or did. All I remember from that day (after they pulled my teeth out) was going straight to bed!
Sooooo.....yeah.

Anyway, since I got my teeth pulled out, my cheeks were very big like a chipmunk and I didn't have the strength to get up and move around so that meant that I had to miss my friends birthday party :( And I was really looking forward to going to John's Incredible Pizza again!

I haven't been there in years so that's why.

But I'm still giving her a present. I just need to find the time to be able to give it to her in person. I don't feel like sending it to her because it's just not the same. And also, what if the mail man destroys it by accident?!

Anyways, I'm still sore and I still can't chew!!! Right now, I'm still eating applesauce and ice cream and I have to look from a distance at the hard foods because it's almost too much for me to handle.

Like just tonight at dinner, my family had beef and my dad was teasing me saying,"You want some? Oh wait, you're still sore aren't you? Sorry." Sometimes my dad can never really be helpful.


Now for cosplay:

Yes! Me and my group are finally getting together at last to start going to Joann's to get the rest of our fabric and finally SEW!!! I've been having these crazy urges to start sewing these days, but with all the things popping up in my family, I have not had the time to even do ONE little bit of sewing.
But now, it's finally happening this weekend and my group is really excited about it. Though, I'm still not sure about one of my members because he's always getting grounded for no inparticular reasons by his grandfather and he dates way too many girls every week.
I don't know what to do with him, but I really want him in my group because he's the only wacky guy I know who is perfect for Naruto and I'm thinking he might end up being Haru from Fruits Basket because a lot of the characters are tall and he isn't.

But don't worry, I'll make sure he's in my group because I'm determined to make it happen!

As for the rest of my small group, they're all okay. No problems, no worries. Which is a totally good thing :)
Flavio keeps texting me saying, "Sasuke is the best!" or "I can't wait to Sasuke and Yuki!". So I guess he's hyped up about that.
Raquel still thinks she can just buy clothes from Target to match the characters oufits and I'm like, "No way! We're sewing everything!" (except the headbands and shoes of course).
Phil hasn't spoken in a while so I don't know if he's still cosplaying or not.
And Jordin just keeps coming up to me at school and he talks to me about, not just cosplay, but everything. But he still asks me what time are we meeting and such.

Ahhh! I love my group ^__^ They're all so funny and crazy in their own way.

Now I'm going to go, I have too much homework on my hands and a present that has to finished.

Bye bye ^_^

Love and Joy!!!

Well, there is more joy than love that is ^_^

So just yesterday my family and I got a new puppy!!! We got her from a family that didn't need her anymore so we decided to keep her. Her name is Bubbles and I'm not sure what breed she is, but she's not a poodle. She's just a cute adorable baby pup that we're gonna keep forever XD
But she's mostly gonna be my mom's dog because I have my cute cat Sarah for company, my dad has his cat Camille, my sister has chickens, and my brother has his black dog Buddy as his best friend.

So yeah, my mom seemed to be the only member in the house without an animal for a friend. Now she has one and she's happy:)

Here is a picture of cute little Bubbles.


In other news, last Thursday I went to Best Buy and bought Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days because I needed it so bad!!! And boy oh boy, it's the best game I've ever played in my life (besides Mario and Pacman).
I mean, it's not one of those games that is based on a movie (except Disney) and hardly anyone knows about and only average people like me buy them. Oh no, this game is something that everyone knows about and talks about and will do anything to buy it. And yes, I bought it with my own money and it was worth it :)

Now I can hardly even stop playing it. lol.

The picture of the game.


And just recently on Tuesday, I bought myself the Ouran High School Host Club: Complete Series 4 disc collectors edition!!!!! And it was worth every penny. And I mean it!!!!
I mean, come on!! Who doesn't love Ouran and if they did, I'd punch 'em. Okay, I'm not THAT brutel but seriously, Ouran is the best anime show I know that never bores me half to death after serveral episodes and best of all: IT'S ENTERTAINING!!!!
But it's too bad that they haven't made a 2nd season yet because the last episode looked like that there should've been more. Oh well, we'll see in the future.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you all that if you want to buy it, it's almost $60.00!!!! I know, it's quite pricy but if you are a true Ouran fan (like me), you should buy it ;D
Oh yeah btw, if you have a Blu-ray player (unlike me) then you can buy the DVD on blu-ray instead which could be 10 times better than an oridinary DVD!!!!




Finally, this weekend my cosplay group and I are going to work on our costumes together at my place!!! Finally!!!! I'm so excited, but a couple of people are not showing up that day because they have other things to do :( Oh well, I'll still have fun with Jordin and Raquel anyway.
Speaking of which, I need to ask Raquel if she has an extra sewing machine in her house because with 4 people in my group, it's gonna be hard making the costumes with just MY sewing machine!!! And not only that, I want my group to learn how to sew so that way, we can all sew together without any problems:)
I just hope she'll bring her sewing machine though (if she has one).

And as for Jordin, he's pretty excited to be Kyo and Kakashi because he told me that "they just fit" him with how he acts. I really love Jordin now XD He's the only tall good looking guy that I know that loves anime and cosplaying.
I'm so lucky to have a good friend like him!!!

And if you're reading this Oscar, you're still my best buddy so no hard feelings okay :)


Last but not least: Cloud pictures!!!

It was beautiful breezy day, so on the way home, I took a couple of pictures of the sky and the clouds. And it turned out pretty nice, considering it was in my dad's pickup. lol.





So that is all I have to say. Until then, this is Emi-chan saying:....I really don't know what to say. lol.
