Going to Xena Con!

It's almost February. Xena con is on February 20th - 22nd. Apparently this is the final Xena con, so yeah that's why I decided to go. Well, it was more like, I kinda wanted to go but then Lucy Lawless was confirmed then I really wanted to go. Haha. I'm only planning to go on Saturday 21st. Why? Because that's when Lucy Lawless will be there. Eeek. Haha. I can't wait! I'm so excited. I purchased and autograph and photo op with her. I have also started to watch the series in anticipation of the con. I'm on season 5 right now. Once I'm done with this, I need one more season :-) It's on Netflix so that helps a lot. 

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, there is a free event on Friday, the day of the con. A karaoke event! Free for all! I'm totally going. I was to see which Xena starts show up and sing. :-) Hopefully it good and fun. I'm going to try to get there early to get a good spot upfront. Hehe.

20th Annual Holiday Lamplight Celebration

December 6th, 2014. Heritage Square Museum. Dave and I went to an reenactment of what it was like during the 1800 - 1900 in Los Angeles. When we first came into the first location, Father Christmas sat there telling stories. He really did an amazing job portraying that character. He was so knowledgeable on the era and anything related to Christmas and holiday stuff. The costumes everyone of the volunteers were pretty awesome. One of the first stops was in a type of dining room in a hotel where we watched people go about a holiday and talking business etc.  Everyone is mingling and having fun when they decide to dance. They dance to Cotton Eyed Joe. I was actually happy and amazed, it seemed complicated because everyone was just dancing at a pace.The volunteers at the event actually made everyone dance too. So we all learned how to dance to Cotton Eyed Joe. It was really fun but I kept trying to catch up to what everyone was doing. It takes time for me to do these line dances. Haha. 

The next house we went to for this Reenactment was next door. It's nicely kept and looked so awesome from outside. At this time I did notice a cat wondering around. Haha. I was distracted by it. O_O So we went into the house were we sang Christmas songs and learned about different holiday traditions from different ethnicities. In the next house we visited we played a games with the family in the reenactment. I can't remember to much on what else happened but I know it was fun. Haha. After this if was the end and we were taken to the refreshment area to leave. That's when I spotted the cat. Oh my, what a fluffy and cuddly cat. He was purrfect! I loved him. I petted the cat for a little bit then went exploring the store that was inside with Dave.

I never knew this place existed until that night. I'm really hoping to go for another event or doing the Holiday Lamplight Celebration again. It's definitely worth going. It was fun and I learned things I never knew about my city. :-)

New Pony Merch January 2015

A small update on new pony stuff. Nothing big but here it is. These are pony blind box figures. Instead of the bag type, these came in a small box. I put a quarter so you can kinda of see the size of them. The top pictures are from series 1 and I got all of them off ebay. The second picture with two ponies are from series 2 and I bought them from a girl I met off craigslist. She's pretty cool and we both love G4 ponies. :-) I really like these ponies. They are quite accurate to how the ponies are supposed to look like. And they are a good size too. Can't wait to display these. Right now they are living in baggies inside a plastic bin. They are well stored until they have a future home. LOL.

My Little Pony Want List and Fair

I'm finally making a MLP want list. All the ponies, cards and merch that I want. I've always known what stuff I wanted but now I can actually see it. It's not complete yet, but I've already finished 4 pages with items and some pics. Can't wait to have it done.

I also need to keep working on my inventory. I worked on it a little bit this past Sunday. Slowly but surely, I will get it done. Haha. Hopefully before the "My Little Pony Fair" in Chicago in June. It would be useful if I knew what I have before I buy anything at the fair. Hehe. I can't wait to finish and to go to the MLP Fair. 

Omg, that reminds me, I have to start on my cosplay for the fair. I still have time. I'll try to start in March. I need to plan what I need and save just a little more money for my materials.

OMG No Ponies??

I just realized I haven't made any post about ponies? What it this? I have no idea. Most posts are Sailor Moon. I need more ponies. Well, let's see what's new... I have these two folders I ordered of Zazzle.com

They are so cute and perfect for all my trading card needs.  I recently found all my old DragonballZ, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, etc. I need space and folders for all these cards. So I purchased these (pics below) just for that purpose. 

I'll post more stuff later!

Pompeii Exhibit

I've been wanting to see the Pompeii exhibit for quite sometime. But finally I went to see it on December 4th, 2014. It was perfect timing because it end on this month, January 2015. There were a lot of cool stuff that survived the disaster. It was amazing seeing all the artifacts.

 Some glass that survived a long time...

Salute to Supernatural - Burbank 2014

My first Supernatural Con! On man... it was so much fun. I went to the karaoke kings event the night before Saturday. It was also a free event for anyone. So I went with David. I had gotten sick that week so I wasn't at 100% percent. I actually started feeling bleh during the night and left the event. I did enjoy it and took many pics. 

Here's a few Karaoke Kings pics.

The next day (Saturaday) was my con day. I only went one day. I only found out about the con about two months before it happened. I attended all the panels that day. I got a photo op with Misha and Mark and also an autograph from Mark Sheppard.

Comikaze Expo 2014

I went to Comikaze Expo 2014 all 3 days this year. It was so much fun! I got to see tons of panels with my favorite T.V. shows and stars. I met a few people and friended them, saw a lot of cool cosplay, and hung out with my boy at the expo. I also did some cosplay on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday I was the 11th Doctor from Doctor Who and Sunday I went as Videl from DragonballZ. Here are some pics. I could talk about the Expo... but I won't. Just look and admire my pics. Haha.

Hello Kitty Con 2014

Hello Kitty's 40th anniversary. Wow. So with that there comes the 1st ever Hello Kitty Convention. I stayed at Dave's place the previous night and took a bus to Little Tokyo for the convention. I'm not going to say much, picture tell a lot of the place and things I saw. There was tons and TONS of merchandise. The only things I got was a keychain and button from the museum exhibit. From the con itself I got penny pressed Hello Kitty things. They are awesome. 

I actually visited the exhibit before going into the convention itself. It wasn't crowded at all!

I loved this dress and it's my favorite color!

I got a free pic and card riding the bus from Upper Deck.

Hello Kitty Hungry Hunt

In honor of Hello Kitty's 40th anniversary, a Hello Kitty Hungry Hunt even was sent in place. There's 11 location of food with specific Hello Kitty items to try out and you get a pin. Last week I went to a few of them. I tried their food and got a cool pin. So location ran out so I'm waiting to get one for them. Hopefully they come in soon so I can get one of the pins.

These are from Dylan's Candy Bar and Charm City Cakes West

I had fun going to these places. I talked to people which is unusual for me. But I guess when you have something in common then it's easier to talk to someone.

Supernatural Season 10

FINALLY. Tuesday night was the first time I've seen Supernatural on TV. YAY. I  did miss 20 minutes of it because my cable box was being lame so I had to reboot the box. But still, I was happy. Dean, Sam... Castiel! Ahh. Lol :-)

Just to mention, I started watching Sword Art Online. 25 episodes long. Started on October 21st and finished today October 23rd, just before 1am. Haha. Now I'm finally watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

October events!

I went to Knott's Scary farm this month, on October 5th, it was awesome. The mazes this year were, Voodoo, Forevermore, Pinocchio Unstrung, Black Magic, The Tooth Fairy, Thick or Treat, Gunslinger's Grave, Dominion of the Damned and Special Ops Infected. WE did all of them. I say the only one that was eh, was Dominion of the Damned. I loved everything else. They all had something awesome and creepy. Special Ops was pretty cool. We went running around shooting at zombies :-D

I also went to Los Angeles Hayride. It was okay. The only interesting parts were the actual hayride and the in between dark maze. Everything else was lame. No wonder I never wanted to go to this thing. Haha. But because I wanted to hang out with Cliff I went. :-P

On Saturday night I hung out with my boy, Jackie and Mario. We went to The Backwoods Maze in Burbank. A fun little maze with great set decorations. Definitely worth going and it's free. We also went to Boney Island on opening night! As always, we watched the show and walked around and explored.

Three more events that I have purchased tickets for this month. Sinister Point "Beyond the Mirror" on Tuesday October 21st, Hello Kitty Convention on October 31st and Comikaze Expo October 31st - November 2nd. I'm planning to go to Comikaze on Saturday and Sunday only. I also hope to go to the Queen Mary on November 2nd. O_O I just hope my plans go accordingly.

That's it for now.
