Mindanao Cosplay Summit 2010

I don't really watch anime that much because of time constraints. I don't even have time for watching telenovelas and teleseryes because there's so much to get done and my baby wants my attention always when I'm home.

Hubby is a huge fan of animes. He even memorized some of the anime song lyrics even if it's Chinese or Japanese or...really I don't understand some of the languages.LOLz.

Last weekend, October 29-30 was a big event for the anime and online game fanatics. There was a cosplay, a Mindanao-wide and there was so much fun. It was dubbed as Mindanao Cosplay Summit (MCS) held at SM Event Center and it was a two-day Affair. I love seeing cos plays because I get awed by the different costumes and I love the creativity of the cos-players.

At the start, the audience was entertained by a band. All they sang are songs by animes. I was not able to relate to it, honestly. Nevertheless, I was having fun seeing the lively performance composed of all-girls band. I forget their name. I like the energy of their vocalist. LOLz.
