Ozine Fest 2008

Clair Ching — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 18:15:46 +0000

Anime enthusiasts gathered in SM Megamall’s Megatrade Hall for O-zine Fest 2008 last weekend. I only went there on Saturday but there were a lot of people. It was a very colorful event, so to speak. And it was amusing to see twins of cosplays. For example, there were two guys cosplaying as Naruto and they were posing for a photo-op. There were also two Haruhis from the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I also saw someone cosplay Card Captor Sakura, with a small Kero-chan on her shoulder! See the evidence:

There were other activities for those who were interested in games like fish-scooping, drawing, eating contests (Whoopee!) and there was something similar to sumo wrestling but the participants had to be in poring costumes, which was quite amusing to watch.

It’s really fun watching people who are having lots of fun with friends and fellow fans! I just wish that there’d be a better layout so that the merchandise area wouldn’t be as congested as it was during the day my friends and I went there.

Who can get enough of Manila Bay? I took a photo one recent summer afternoon.

Spotted at the Quezon City post office:

To our postal patron

Otherwise complaint will not be entertained

Ang taray!

To be fair, I’ve forgotten to get my change on more than one occasion and the lady behind the counter would always call me back.

Manila stripped bare

Manila, stripped to it’s essence, is not about glitzy Makati or the decked bars of Malate and Fort, it’s all about its poeple.

Pilipinas Street Plan

Have you seen this?

The Philippine Street Art Community is “everywhere in the Philippines.” I am not going to be the judge of whether this is eye-candy or vandalism, but who wouldn’t prefer prefer this kind of graffiti over whatever kind of art the MMDA has to offer?

Sorry the pic isn’t that good, but I had to share this. Every time I pass by this store, it makes me smile! Their wall display has lots of baby Spiderman stuffed toys with suction cups. Cute!
