Anime Expo 2014

I finished my Princess Serenity. Yay! I wore it for Anime Expo 2014 and the Sailor Moon tribute art show this past week. Woo. (Tribute art show on another blog post!) I want to mention as well, this is the first time since 2008 that I've been to Anime Expo. I stopped caring about watching anime, but because of the Sailor Moon Reboot, I decided to go once again.

Anime expo. (AX)

I went to AX with Angelica. I got up and ready at home. I went to pick her up at around 10:15am. We got to the convention center around 11am. We waited about and hour and a half to get in and to buy out tickets for the day. I haven't been to AX since 2007-2008 (not sure.) A long while. The lines for pre-registration were insane. AX needs to figure out a better way to organize their expo. But aside from that, we met up with Dana and went towards a panel I wanted to see a panel. Dana went her own way to a Para Para dancing course. All along the way people kept asking for pictures and I said. Angelica and I waited in line for our panel and after a bit we found out it was cancelled. The only panel I kinda wanted to go.

After that we decided to go to the exhibit hall to look around and maybe shop for a bit. Angelica went crazy for plushies and there were so many as well. We ended up doing a Sailor Moon scavenger hunt and went all over the place getting stamps. We ended up getting a Sailor Moon coin (in honor of the premiere of the remake) for finishing our quest. This took place at the Viz booth. They were giving out free bags with purchase of any of their items. One of the bags was a Sailor Moon bag. I had to get it. I bought a bleach shirt and got my bag. Yay! I also found an MLP toy. It was priced for $10 dollars. I had to get it. The employee from the store I got it from said his boss had originally priced at $50. Haha. Well good thing I found this pony, Fun Fairy.

Bleach Shirt that I bought.

Sailor Moon bag came free with shirt

Coin I got for free at the Sailor Moon scavenger hunt.

Pony! :-D

We kept exploring the exhibit hall and we ended up coming up to the Toy Mandala booth. I saw Keith first and then Dustin. So I went over to say hi. We kept walking and people kept stopping me for pictures. Haha. We finally looked around at all the artist alley stuff but didn't look at everything. We finally decided to leave around 5pm.

A little bit of traffic going home but we still made it through. I dropped off Angelica and I finally went home. No one was home so I took a few pics with my cat, Serenity with my Princess Serenity outfit. So that was it. That's Anime expo. We'll see what happens for next year.

My cat Serenity is sneaky. She's at the bottom left corner.

Sailor Moon Crystal

Sailor Moon Crystal finally premiered and it was beautiful. I was up on Saturday July 5th at 3am to watch the simulcast from Japan time. I love it and I want to see more! I've seen the first episode 3 times already and I have the urge to watch it again. It was a perfect start to the show and so far it's similar to the manga. The series will air twice a month on Saturdays. 26 episodes in total... So we are in for a long ride until the last episode. Eeek. Hehe. :-] I can't wait for what's to come.

These are some of my favorite screen shots from episode 1 of Sailor Moon Crystal. :-)

Part of the opening. *Happy sighs* :-]

This was really funny. Luna scratching Usagi.

Usagi recognizes Mamoru.

Mamoru recognizes Usagi.

How romantic... Haha. *_*

Sailor of love and justice.

Tuxedo Kamen. Tuxedo Mask.

Exactly like the manga!

How dreamy *_*

*Blushing*

The moonlight is the message of love.

May 29th, 2014

I went to a Backstreet Boys concert at The Forum. I went with Kenia. I picked her up from Beaumont. We arrived around 4pm I believe to The Forum. We were actually right next to a cemetery and I realized it's where my grandma was at. We took a little bit of time going there and finding where my grandma was at. Shortly after we went to wait in line for the concert. Avril Lavigne opened for the Backstreet boys. After she went up it was about 15 minutes then the boys came up. It was an awesome show. That night I dropped of Kenia and actually stayed the night in Beaumont.

I love this silhouette.

I also want to mention on this night at around 11pm. My moms cat, Kri-Kri died. She had been sick for a bit and definitely really old. I found out the day after about her passing. I was sad to hear about it, and I was sad for a bit because of it. But I am happy that she had a place to call home. Kri-Kri died in her bed and my mom was with her when it happened. So she also wasn't alone either.

R.I.P. Kri-Kri, you little hungry girl.

Cosplay Stuff

My last cosplay, Morgana Pendragon, I tried taking pictures of the process. I did take some but not of the whole thing. Whoops. Haha. I got to into it and forgot to take pics. I also need to go out somewhere foresty and have pics taken witg my outfit. That would be fun. Get into character and hopefully get nice looking pics I can post.

For my new cosplay.. I will try to get pics and stuff posted. Maybe... who knows. :-P I've already started taking pics of my process so I'll probably post some once I'm all finished and pic the best ones. So far I've cut all of my pieces for my Princess Serenity cosplay. The next step is to start sewing... How exciting! :-D I've ordered my wig and I should get it in the next week. I hope. I've also finished the hair clips Princess Serenity has. :-) I really loves the clips. I'll try to post some pixs of them since they are cool. Okay, that's it for now.

Cosplay Tribute

I'm planning to go to a Sailor Moon Tribute art show on July 5th. I'm planning to make a cosplay exactly for that. At the same time... Anime Expo will be happening so I'm also thinking about using the same cosplay at that event. I'm planning to something simple, pretty and something Sailor Moon related (obviously.) So I thought, Princess Serenity. :-D

I already got the patterns, and I just have to put it together. I will look for material in the next few days and make a plan of all the accessories I will make. I'm excited... especially since this will be my second attempt at an outfit. I will have a month or so to make this happen... so I better get to it.

Renaissance Pleasure Faire 2014

I went to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire 2014 a few weeks ago. To be exact, May 4th. We got there at about 10:30am and left at about 6:30pm. A fun filled day with exploring, shows, food and stuff... haha. I also decided to dress up as a peasant. :-) Best decision ever.

I had my braids done. OMG. I loved them. I want to learn how to make them... or have Dave learn so he can make it for me... wahahahaha.

Walking around trying out some delicious cider!

Braids!

Dave and I :-)

We learned how to work with chain mail.

This took about an hour so less to make.

That's it for now... until next year at the Ren Faire!

Two Days Off

After a 10 day homestand at Dodgers Stadium, I get two days off! Yay. It was a long one, but I want more! Lol. But I'm good with days off. Today I just watched Switched at Birth on my Chromecast and cleaned my room. Tomorrow I will workout and do some errands. But aside from that, I want to update on something that happened.

Well I guess more of a milestone, if that's what they call it. A few day ago I got a recognizion from Dodgers SP+. 5 year recognizion. Woo. :-) I didn't know my company did such a thing. I'm proud that I've been with a company for so long. I got a certificate and a SP+ key chain. :-) I also got a card with well wishes from my coworkers. Yay!

So, yeah. I'll post on something else soon. But I don't know how to end this... So I just will now. :-]

Busy busy weekend!

On Friday the 18th, was the start of a 10 day homestand at Dodgers stadium. 10 days of fun. Woo. Haha. I worked at AMC on Friday morning and after that I went to Dodgers. I ended up staying until 12:30am the next day. Long day! The next day it was dedicated to Dodgers only. It was a long day but at least I had some free time at night to go out to eat with David. He also ended up staying over because his car needed oil.

On Sunday I went to Dodgers and AMC. It was pretty slow at Dodgers stadium. It was sunny and hot, so I had to reapply sunblock and keep hydrated. I left work at about 3:30pm. AMC started at 6pm... so I had a while to relax. I went to Burbank, I had lunch, frozen yogurt and walked around the fine art festival that was next to work. But anyways, work was also slow. I guess it was because of Easter. But I did have fun at work finding easter eggs filled with candy. In total I think I found 12 eggs in total. :-)

Well that's it for now.

Greek Yogurt Update

So I've been trying some different types of Greek yogurt. Let's recap on the ones I have already tried from the last bloggy. Haha.

I've tasted:

Chobani Greek Yogurt

Yoplaid Greek 100

Yoplaid Greek Blended

Dannon Oinkos Greek (Fruit on the Bottom)
Simply Balanced Greek Yogurt (Target)

Some of the NEW ones I have tried:

Natural Selections - Raspberry (Ralphs)

Brown Cow Black Cherry

Muller Strawberry

For the most part they are all kinda eh. I think I'm just going to stick to the ones I already know. If I come to a new one that I like well then, GOOD. The ones I actually like are Chobani Greek Yogurt, and Simply Balanced Greek Yogurt (Target).

Just to say, from regular yogurt, Noosa is the best. I'll eat it once in a while only because it's a little pricey. :-) But when I eat it... it's heaven!
