The culminating activity was very successful, they had enjoyed our Italian Spaghetti, Yummy Chicken Carbonara with Garlic Bread and HOT Buffalo wings and Buko Pandan for their dessert. The day after that, we had a simple easy quiz to make up for the speech in English. Saturday was when we had our English Communications Skills Seminar with ma’am Lily, whom I had numerous visits to her office for a reservation.


And after that we were forced to go to the resort, actually we forced ourselves to go to that party which I ate the food greedily because that’s where the money went and unfortunately, I wasted a hundred bucks from my savings which was supposed to buy an umbrella.
But don’t worry we immediately leave the place and went to the mall and we realized that we should’ve use the money to buy ice cream. First stop is we went to the water station where we drink lots of tap water and after that we had a touch-up and then proceed to the annex where the cosplay event happened. When I got there, I realize that they are a bunch of weirdos, which I was and still am.


Somehow, college made me forget the “old me” which was a cosplayer/otaku/artist/weirdo/skinny-and-not-beautiful. I couldn’t believe that I was a cosplayer before (I mean a cosfailer… hahahaha) but when I look at them, I remember the times when I was too foolish to go up the stage and portray my character. I remember the times when me and my friends have this common hobby and how it bonds us and at the same time made us fall apart. I remember the times when those people made me think that I am the most ugliest person in the whole wide world. When I look around, I only recognize a few people but I’m happy to see them happy, doing what they want. Cosplay is also an art, for us it is an art, though sometimes we might get labeled as “weridos” but this how we express ourselves for our love for anime.


When I ask my friends if they want to see me cosplay again, they say they do and would even take pictures with me. It made me realize that that’s where I come from; where I realized that I want to take up my course so that I could open up a “maid café”, Najika from the manga Kitchen Princess inspired me to make desserts to see and make people happy.


College made me into a girl who is into fashion, boys, partying, wearing red lipstick and be contented with her beautiful body; but don’t worry, I’m still an otaku who watches Persona 4 and Fate Zero and a weirdo geek who is so into history and reads National Geographic in the library.
Back to reality, I still want to cosplay. If Gabee and Kym still cosplays even if they’re in college, why can’t I? Anyways, at least I have friends who are willing to take pictures with me and make fun of me even if I look like a cute Lolita doll or not.
