Colorful Life

Happiness is still a mystery to me. Questions mingle with emotions. There are times when mind speaks over heart and so is there a time when the latter speaks over the former. You could question me all you want. Because even you, don’t know that I am also questioning myself the very thing that has been bothering you. Yet I don’t doubt it. Taken will be its end, only I could accept. But I would give in without a fight. Exhausted all means, then death will take its toll.

Still moonless nights of shimmering velvet,
cast over a thousand of times over me.
Still thoughts lingers, could not forget,
if only my heart you could only see.

Dreams floating in vivid crystal green,
keeps me awake in a lonely night.
If the words you said is enough to mean,
will cause this weary heart to flight.

Undying love that rekindles in yellow,
burning love deep, gentle and true.
My life will not end nor even mellow,
because what colors my life is you

No Goodbyes

Posted in ,

I don’t know how I manage to write something like this but I did write this. It might be because I’m a little confused and I don’t know what I am feeling right now.

I don’t have any title for this as of the moment. I just wrote this out of the blue. (you call it impromptu!)

No Goodbyes

I am in deep sadness that my teary eyes wanted to cry.
But I don’t want to leave you without saying my goodbye.
To leave without you will leave my heart in blue.
Coz I have found the love I’ve seen from you.

The love I found within you my love.
Is something to keep like a love from above.
I’d never surrender this feeling so true.
Coz I have found the love i’ve seen from you

I have been in the midst of this sad refrain
But still my love for you will always remain
I don’t know what to say, I do know what to do
Coz I have finally found the love i’ve seen from you

MCS Update.

MCS now allows cosplay crossovers.

Photo Reference Submission removed in MCS Rules and Regulations.

To entertain and allow more participants to join, MCS is now allowing Cosplay Crossovers. So what exactly is cosplay crossovers? It is where an anime character belonging to a specific anime title will go together to cosplay with another anime character that belongs to another anime title.

To clarify my definition let’s use an example:

Uchiha Sasuke from Naruto Shippuden and Luffy from One Piece cosplaying together and doing a skit on stage.

On the other hand, the photo reference submission in Group Cosplay Rules and regulations has been removed. You can now send in your registrations without photo references. This is done to lighten the load of interested participants that wishes to join but are having problems with regards to photo references submissions.

Cosplay Criticism/Critique

0

Posted in , , , ,

Cosplay has been a major trend nowadays. When we hear about “Anime”, we relate it to cosplay or cosplaying. But what is Cosplaying?

Cosplaying or Cosplay is a Japanese term for cosplaying. It is equivalent to the the western term ‘Masquerade’. It is basically a time for fans to dress up in their favorite costume or as their favorite character. There is this condition that comes with it. You will not only play the character in dress but also the character’s nature. By means, you will have to act as if you are the character itself.

Criticism or Critique is a reasoned judgment or analysis, interpretation or observation of a person. It is divided into two (2) categories - Constructive Criticism and Destructive Criticism. To simplify, the former dwells more on a positive criticism that uplifts the other person materially, morally, emotionally or spiritually. The latter dwells on with the negative criticism. It is intended to harm someone, derogate and destroy someone’s creation, prestige, reputation and self-esteem on whatever level it might be (i.e. “bashing”)

Combining both, Cosplay Criticism is a form of reasoned judgment or analysis of a person (critic) towards how the person portrays the character. Was that person able to play the character in nature as well as the way he/she dress or not? Cosplay criticism is not new to us. Same as fashion models and prestigious restaurants and other entities, they are all receiving a critics’ comment/s, and cosplaying is not an exception to the wary eyes of criticism.

But how does society look at it?

The following comments are true and unaltered. They came from real people with real experiences. I’d like to share their piece of the pie about it:


“Cosplay Critique (Criticism) - It’s looking through every OBJECTIVE angle to identify the mistakes. It’s somewhat related to bashing only because they both comment on the cosplayers’ faults. Bashing is subjective while critiquing isn’t.”

~ Enzo ~

“Cosplay critique- defines the judgment of a viewer to a cosplayer. Critiques may vary based on a cosplayer’s costume, portrayal and props. It is generally an OBJECTIVE CRITICISM, which is really based on the portrayal of the character. Bashing is a different kind of criticism which involves too much SUBJECTIVE CRITICISM… in other words, bashing involves personal aspect to a cosplayer. However, a cosplay critique may involve bashing due to the fact the judge/the viewer may involve his/her personal standards cosplaying. However when, official judging is involved, it is the discretion of the judge whether he/she will involved his/her personal standards to as a tool of judging along with the criteria given or not. Hence, bashing is just for people who are born out of IGNORANCE. A true Cosplay Critique is 90% objective and 10% subjective.”

~ Rob ~

“Cosplay criticism is a professional way of justifying your criticism; it’s constructive and has worth whether it’s bad or good. Bashing in the other hand is the complete negative side of cosplay criticism.”
