COSA NOSTRA

2010-06-29T16:56:00.000-07:00

This is one of the photoshoots in the series of PIXELATE 2010. It involves the Mafia theme obviously from the title. We're inviting all local professional/ hobbiest/ amateur photographers to join us this August. The dates are tentative and the location might be the Government Center of Bacolod. It is also to promote the city. So anyway, we'll be there somewhere in August. See you!

Several teams are involved here. Hitsuzen Inc and another new team will be introduced too. Hope to see you guys there! Please check for updates! ^_^

After 3 years...

2010-06-14T21:44:00.000-07:00

It's fun to see people walking around wearing costumes. Hey, I've been there...still there and loving it. It's been roughly 3 years now. I miss being with my complete team. Most of us are either in Manila or somewhere...US (RO, I miss you!). I wish we could be together this October 2010! Eli, please...please come home. What to write about? Hmmm.... I've been scanning through sites and found this account in FB.

2010-02-17T05:11:00.000-08:00

Hi to all. To those who enjoyed the event and thanked me thousands of times, thank you so much too...for making it possible. WHY? Because if you guys did not support the event by getting out of your closets and strutting it up, the event won't work at all. So, thank you to all the COSPLAYERS. Let me share something about the ANBU FEST program. Firstly, I apologize for not being able to stick with the program. My gosh! The crowd can't be controlled. Honestly, we DID NOT expect this BIG a crowd. For a pioneer event...that was more than AWESOME! People were impressed at how big the crowd is. 5:00pm...I was encouraging people at the 888 entrance to proceed to the events center because no one was there. I was WORRIED SICK! "NO AUDIENCES?!?" - I was thinking... LOL! But hell, the audience blew me away! Thank you, CROWD!!!

Secondly, to the photographers that entered the Participant's Area with no ID, !@*& - but i know how you feel. LOL! Yeah, I adore your excitement to take pictures of cosplayers... Gosh! You guys were UNCONTROLLABLE! But now that I know, I better check on this AREA of STRATEGY the next time around... HEHEHEHEH-HE. The program basically went to a POOF when the photographers AND the COSPLAYERS gladly INDULGE each other! XDDDD But hell, its cool y'all... Next time, we're gonna organize it in detail...MORE DETAILED RULES. Thanks!

Thirdly, I thank the sponsors for making this possible. Thanks so much, Fred...Tito Rex...Ian...the 888 China Town Staff, Mark Gomez, Anne, Pepsi, Smackdown, ElieShoppe and to those who're not mentioned here...you know yourselves. My brain is buzzing and is too tired to remember...got no sleep yet. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Cosplayers, you guys were awesome! I was so proud as the introduction of cosplayers commenced. It was like...a dream. THIS IS HAPPENING! THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING! - I was chanting... For those who found this very out-of-the-world, I won't blame you guys for not FEELING it... But yeah, I was really happy that AT LAST, Cosplay launched here in Bacolod. THANK YOU members of TINTA and HITSUZEN for supporting me all the way. I was a little bitter when you guys were taking pictures with people while I was stuck on stage and can't shout he orders. Grrrr.... But hell, I know how you guys feel. ^_^ Thanks so much for being patient with me and for believing in what we aim to do. And to the YUYA TEAM! HAHAHHA! What a way to celebrate the new year, huh?! It was a HELL of a NIGHT!!!

"MALUNGGAY ADAN is also HIDAN!" ---only to those who understand will this line be significant. To those of you who keep on texting me...unknown numbers...about when the NEXT EVENT will be... You'll be informed. Count on it. ^^ Just tune in here or listen for news. I won't forget you guys...and we'll reach you guys. WE WILL. God bless to all!

AND HEY! To those who so frigging feel jealous...
"EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!"

I wanna be a REAL ANBU right about now....

2010-02-07T07:09:00.000-08:00

You know what....? I'm sick of people who ASSUME... Oh yeah... Why do I want to be a REAL ANBU? Coz I want to kill someone right now. SOMEBODY just aired my PERSONAL CP NUMBER on TV and RADIO SINCE LAST WEEK...WITHOUT MY FRIGGIN CONSENT!!!

Not that I hate publicity for the ANBU Fest...BUT really!!! That's my PERSONAL number, you bugger!!! What do you think of me???? A COMPANY!? And what now, huh??? You didn't even ask for MY consent to spread MY number across Negros... AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A MEDIA PERSON!? THIS IS A BLIND ITEM...YES THIS IS! I CAN'T BELEIVE YOU WORK IN THAT 'PRESTIGIOUS' STATION!!!

This is a rant...thanks for reading and may THIS NEVER happen to you... See you in ANBUFEST!

THE MASK is a MUST

2010-02-06T10:10:00.000-08:00

Yes, people...it's called..."ANBU" Fest...ANBU.
But I guess you can leave it off... Don't blame me if a NARUTO fan complains though...

2010-02-05T08:49:00.000-08:00

INVITING YOU ALL!!!

The SUDDEN BURST of...disappointments...

2010-02-05T08:28:00.000-08:00

Katz here... Fufu's been given the task to take care of this site with me. Anyway, everything about the promotions of ANBUFest did not go well. Well, yeah maybe to others...it's seem pretty normal. But for me, I'm a bit disappointed. For one, the streamers' print is NOT correct. Not that I'm being a COMPLAINING BITCH here...but...well, we sent the FINAL layout on time...but... Sigh. I guess what's done is done. Anyway... ANYWAY! I still haven't heard from the MOR emcee... I'm getting anxious because people who said they'll support...DO NOT. I mean...I don't want to mention the exact names...and believe me, I don't know them. So if you think this is you...and I know you...it's NOT you. LOL! If you're wondering who, ask me in person next time we meet. Hehehhe... I'm sure MAC from Hitsuzen Inc knows...

With regards to costumes... My costume is still NOT complete. After all...I am organizing this "SHIT" - as what a BITCH called it. Yeah..and I'm juggling two productions...and it's scaring the SHIT out of me...and the fact that my weapon is still not finished...adds to the pressure and the stress that's eating me out...worst is...because of the STRESS, I am LITERALLY....EATING OUT! DAMN...and I was aiming to lose weight!

I hope everything goes well...prizes are up and a little more ironing...we're set to go. I'm thankful that people care...and I thank God for giving me strength, the team and Hitsuzen Inc... Gosh... Let's FRIGGIN DO THIS!!! URRRRGGHHH!!! We're gonna ROCK Bacolod, I swear!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Watch! Watch! Watch!
HeeeEEheee!!! MY 1st VIDEO BLOG!!!

The sun shines on me...I just hope it doesn't stop shining! ^_^v
The Lord works in mysterious ways...and ways you don't expect. SERIOUSLY. I now believe in it.
Dreams will happen, if you be patient, pray, dream and ALWAYS believe. In your dream, in yourself and IN GOD.

I'm surely the last person to have my culinary OJT's done, in fact I've barely started. There's an unreasonably paralysing fear that I can't explain, or I'm just being a stupid coward. I've had to straighten myself up before taking the 1st step to creating my future.

GOd knows that I almost had zero initiative to complete my OJT requirements (stupid, I KNOW), despite my dream of being a successful cook/chef (dare I call myself that.) After an emotional thunderstorm that almost "killed" me...then I became confused as to whether I actually WANTED that for myself...As a lot of young people are, we can't decide what we want to do with our lives, being in an awkward stage in life. After WATCHING THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG WITH KATZ-NESAMA AND J-CHAN, I HAVE CONFIRMED...MY TWO BIGGEST DREAMS. TO BE AN ANIMATOR OR CHEF. DO OR DIE.
AND AGAIN...DISNEY HELPED ME REMIND MYSELF TO DREAM. BELIEVE.BE STORNG. WORK HARD. HARDER. IT WAS DISNEY. DISNEY is such a huge force in my life with all its lessons, inspiration...all that. (Of course ANIME too.)
So mom tells me, we need to go to the US to use our VISAS ASAP. So, where else to go but Disneyland in California!!! (DisneyWorld in Florida is too far and too expensive) She said, finish your resume and OJT requirements, OR ELSE NO DISNEYLAND!!! NO AMERICA! So...AGAIN DISNEY is helping me take a step forward...has become the driving force (even as a bribe) to help me complete my requirements. I begged and prayed that I needed a VACATION first before I head off to my OJTs...(I know it sounds spoiled) but I NEEDED to RENEW myself and my convictions...I needed to start all over. After the unfortunate events after my graduation...I NEEDED to get away and refresh myself. The family was planning to go to Boracay but it was postponed. i felt bad cuz i thought, sitting on the beach and writing, reflecting would help me unwind and get my act together...but it was postponed to May.
Disneyland...THAT WAS A SHOCK and ABSOLUTELY what I NEEEEEDED! What better to REFRESH my dream and confidence in myself than being in the "Happiest place on Earth"...and my DREAM of going to Disneyland/World came true...SOONER than I imagined. I've always dreamed of saving enough money by being a cook/chef to be able to go to California or Orlando...to go "home".

And now, this is my chance. A wonderful friend of mine told me that "God is just and gives you what yuo deserve". In my current state, I feel unworthy, but I guess He thinks it's best for me to go there...and I am soooooo HAPPY beyond words.

Thank you GOd. Thank you mommy. Thank you daddy.
DREAMS DO COME TRUE!
I only hope some day I can share the same joy, the same tears of absolute bliss with the most special and dearest people to me...guys you know who you are.

I love David Cook's song..."DREAM BIG". IT IS one of the two The songs of my life.

"I see it everyday,
We settled for safe,
And lose ourselves along the way.

'Cause if you don't dream big,
What's the use in dreaming?
If you don't have faith,
There's nothing worth believing.
It takes one hope,
To make the stars worth reaching for.
So reach out for something more!
....
I wiped my tears away.
Now it's time for a change....
No I can't waste another day."

AND the 2nd one is..."HOLD ON" from Princess Diaries

"Hold On
But don't hold too tight
let go its gonna be alright
Don't run away from what your heart is saying
Ohh Be strong
Face what you're afraid of
Come on
Show them what you're made of
I know its hard when your hope is gone
But you gotta keep holding on.

[Verse 2]

You hear a voice thats calling
And its telling you to make a change.
It's time to fly
And say goodbye
And move on to a better place
You know you gotta take the first step
To get where you wanna be

Just get on track and don't look back
Cause its the only way you're gonna be free."

Thanks for reading!
God bless! Take care y'all!!! And yes...PRAY PRAY PRAY! Appreciate what you have and DREAM! DREAM BIG!!!

Fufu Out!!!

2010-01-30T17:44:00.000-08:00

I attended the premiere of a movie I worked on last night. It was an invitational and only the family of a crew member is invited to watch. Two days ago I asked the organizing team if it’s okay that I’ll bring along friends. They told me that the premiere is basically for the viewing of family only. So, at that time, I thought I’d be going alone since my family can’t come. But Anne, a good friend of mine texted me that it’s okay to bring friends. So, I asked my close friends to come see an international indie movie I so put my heart into shooting. It is the first time it is shown to the world and I would have liked it if my family saw it even if they’d comment on it like they always do… They never liked any of what I do…but at least…they watched and supported me. But in the end, they never did.

I realized…I’ve been here a thousand times already. Since I was small, they never really like what I chose…be it in movie preferences, art or even stories. Years before, I already told myself that I should never expect much from them. But it’s hard…very hard to not CARE about what your family thinks. Maybe it was because they mean so much to me. I might not show it…and yes, I am guilty for not caring much about what’s happening at home sometimes. But you know… that’s just the way I am. I get lost in books I read…I revel in the movies I watch… I might not show much…but I do care what they think.

My mother told me, in one of our many arguments that they are proud of me. Oh well, they sure show it in a funny way – not giving a damn about where I am in my career and labeling me as an eccentric for not choosing a LOGICAL direction in life. Maybe…there’s a lot of MAYBEs because I don’t want to believe that they just don’t give a shit about my dreams…it’s frightening…and I know I’ll crumble… Well, it doesn’t really matter now since I always crumble with the way they treat my achievements. Maybe…

What they don’t understand is… I might follow what they want me to do…and do the things I want at the same time… But they can’t understand the logic of staring at a blank canvas for days, deciding where to lay your first stroke… They can’t. They call it folly – a waste of time. I call it passion. I call it a dream. A family friend once asked me where these ideas in painting come from… I don’t know, I answered. I just know what to do in that certain moment. And they just stared at me and shook their heads slowly.

Maybe I’m a little childish in treating this. Once more, I’m reasoning with myself. I don’t want to end up feeling sorry for myself. I am not sorry for choosing this life. I love my passion. I believe that God gave me this talent…and I sure as hell don’t want to waste it. I believe that I will do better things with this… I believe… And if it takes my whole family to treat me as if I’m invisible in their eyes, I accept it. They started doing that recently. No one cares as I eat breakfast and tried listening to their business talks. I wanted to bring up the premiere and to tell them that a lot of people liked it. But they didn’t even blinked when I said, “There are a lot of people watching last night…” They continued with their talk as if I’m not there. I tried to ask my aunt how was her friend who wanted to buy one of my paintings…but they didn’t even take a look at me.

I felt like my cousin. My cousin, who always seem to take this treatment since he seldom comes home in an early time and loves to play games… They’re dividing us pretty well – cutting us from the family. FINE. I can deal with that, is what others might say…and I was about to say it. But you know…I understand pretty well that they’re trying to show us their disapproval in a silent way. It’s great, isn’t it? That they want me to change… Is there a LAW that says only YOUNG PEOPLE MUST change for the betterment of the old ones? I can hear them now, “You’re saying that today…but when you get older…you’ll realize we’re right.” Yeah…yeah… The funny thing is, if I only want to secure my future – money and marriage, I can easily do that mind you… But I don’t know why I chose ILLOGICAL things… I don’t. I value things differently and I’m sorry for being strange… I’m sorry for you – having an alien child in the family. I wish I have a twin…or a brother…so that I won’t feel this guilt and pressure. I wish…I wish… But wishing is stupid and disappointing. Hoping…to no avail though…

If they’ll only accept me as a part of them if I say yes to managing the business…don’t you think it’s kind of unfair? They say that they’re not insulting what I do… Oh yeah…they’re not…verbally they don’t. But the looks and the feel that they give off need NO WORDS. So tell me what to do then… I now understand how it was for all the artists that have gone emotionally locked up and secluded in their own little world. One friend told me that I needed this – I need this HATE, this DISCRIMINATION, this PAIN… Perhaps she’s right… Maybe I need a little pain and suffering. With this, at least I feel a little close to what Christ was feeling…being discriminated and scorned…

Boy do I sound like a masochist! XD

ANBU FEST 2010 GENERAL GUIDELINES

2010-01-22T21:23:00.000-08:00

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR
ANBU FEST 2010

1. All people wishing to partake in ANBUFest 2010 must register for the event in advance at the registration desk with the organizing teams. Fill-in all appropriate/applicable information you are required of to ensure the traffic in the event proper.
2. Registration will officially start by 3:00 PM - 5:30 PM. Anyone who fails to register on the said time will not be allowed to participate in the games.
3. Submit weapon-crafts to the members of organizing team at the registration tables for inspection to ensure general public’s safety.
4. Entrants must be inside the cosplayer holding area 15 MINUTES before the event start time (individual/groups) they registered in. No changes in groupings will be allowed after the registrations end.
5. Group entrants are obliged to have a minimum of five (5) members and a maximum of ten (10).

COSPLAYER PERFORMANCE RULES

1. The ANBU Performance will take form of an onstage walk-on followed by a short performance of your choice. Individual/group cosplayers are allotted 30 seconds onstage time bearing the following in mind:

a. Skits / presentations must be no longer than 30secs. Performers are allotted 10secs to set-up and 10secs to exit in addition to the 30secs allotted.

NO leaping or climbing on or off stage.
Toy weapons/weapon crafts will be allowed provided they are submitted for inspection by the registration areas prior to the events. Any “live” weapons will result to immediate eviction. Also no food, animals or remote control devices are permitted.
Any sort of stage fighting/acrobatics is to be limited within the SAFETY LINE.
What goes on the stage with you comes off the stage with you. For safety reasons, things like confetti, fireworks, flash paper or other forms of pyrotechnics, rose petals, water and other small messy objects are strictly prohibited around the stage area.
Skit content must have a rating no higher than “PG-13”. ANBUFEST is an all-ages event. Any explicit swearing, nudity and obscene gestures and mannerisms are prohibited and can result in disqualification.

COSPLAYER OUTFIT RULES

Though some of the cosplay events at ANBU fest are judged, and therefore have more specific rules, every cosplayer must abide by the basic list of guidelines:

1. Cosplayers may have the liberty to alter/modify their ANBU suits provided that outfits should not be so revealing as to warrant indecent exposure charges. All body parts should be covered and not require constant pulling, tugging and straightening. A good rule of thumb is not to wear anything that cover less what you can wear in the pool or the beach.

2. During the Anbufest, participants are trusted to be responsible of their weapons and other accessories. In areas that are extremely congested and narrow (like in the booth/kiosk areas), entrants will be asked to modify their costume in public part of the event center; we realize that a lot of work has been put into the outfit. During the Cosplay event judging or if one is within the holding area, cosplayers are permitted to wear their cosplay in its original unaltered form.

Cut my hair short today. I dunno...it was a spur of the moment...just planned it yesterday and CUT. It went well actually....

I have been very BLESSED. Actually...the COSPLAYERS here in Bacolod are blessed this year. I am so happy that sponsors came flooding in after a lot of struggle and despite it all, I am glad we struggled. I am very thankful namely to Jay Yip and her family for putting up with my requests. THANK YOU SO MUCH! The effen efforts of Elisa Nuble, Bian Uy, Sai Ng, Fu Javellana, the Balquin Sisters and the rest of the gang is more than enough to push me on even when I'm tired. This event started out as something that is insignficant to almost all the population in Bacolod City...but now...now it's different. People are slowly getting what COSPLAY is all about.

I AM GRATEFUL. I am very happy to meet Hitsuzen Inc last year. Very thankful that they're supporting the art as vigorously as any cosplayer can or even more. Thanks so much for your support, Elerem, Mac, Von, Ban & Po-kun. I am very grateful.

2010-01-12T06:20:00.000-08:00

I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE READY FOR THIS...

POSTER, LAYOUTS & HELL

2010-01-12T02:35:00.000-08:00

I have yet to understand why people won't move till a BOMB blows beside them... Yeah. I'm one of those people... LOL! I am practically in a RUSH right now with things that I left unattended for quite some time. This is not a habit actually...it was more because of the Holidays, Friends...and LAZINESS. I wanted to do these stuff a few weeks ago but was caught up in the holiday feel of things...awh the cool breeze...awh the lax environment...awh THE LAZINESS!

I understand that I'm now juggling two productions and are both due on the SAME MONTH!!! But hey...when the going gets tough...the tough goes... "PLANTS & ZOMBIES" (ehem!) I mean...GETS GOING....Gets Going! Tehehehe. . .

I'm ALERTING all theatre and dance fanatics to watch out for a GREEK Dance Musicale this February in the La Salle Coliseum, Bacolod. Judging by the venue, you can just imagine what kind of production this will be... ^__^ And I'm praying for the best.

I'm also inviting all the COSPLAYERS in Negros to check out the ANBUFest 2010 posters that will be out this week. Check 'em...check 'em and RALLY YOUR CLAN now!!!

And still,

It was amazing poking fun on Pollen & Jay2x earlier this morning...yeah...about 1am earlier... I'm about to sleep. It's moments like these that fades out the pressure as we prepare for the upcoming ANBUFest 2010. Two teams are collaborating (TINTA|productions & Hitsuzen Inc.) for this PIONEER project and I'm hoping that everything will be A-OKAY! I actually downloaded this photo from Von who sent me this cute pic of them...can you guys guess who's who??? ^_^ Btw, they're not men...one's a girl. Who is it??? XD

STAND FIRM

2010-01-11T09:47:00.000-08:00

"I'll stand firm."

I have to say this LINE is overused by so many people in this world...and I'm one of them. In a world where only a few understood, a few had the courage to understand and a few had the balls to accept, it is very sad that sometimes...in this lonely journey we tend to lose to the realities. Art is sometimes obscure - it is to me at least. I often found myself wondering why I chose this path and yet, amidst all the BS and the insults, I still find myself crawling back into its welcoming arms.

2009 was a rewarding year. Being chosen as one of the 20 artist for the Sungdu-an 5 Exhibit for the National Museum was amazing, working with famous directors is very enlightening and I am very honored. I have accomplished much that sometimes, I feel so blank these days. It's not that I'm tired. In fact, I'm hungry...more hungry than I could ever be when it comes to new ideas. But again, I think the Lord is teaching me patience. I have been impatient recently. I recently threw my regular job and started practicing my art - my passion. And sometimes I couldn't deny that I'm missing my daily office BS, my late reports and routine schedules. Adjusting is a bitch.

Being alone keeps you thinking. Being alone keeps you dreaming. One only has to choose which to take. On my part, a little of both. Scratch that - more on dreaming. LOL. I love to dream. And when I dream, I love to think...of ways how to make that dream come true...

I'm already 26. For practical people like my family, it's absurd to love cartoon animation at this age. When they look at me sometimes, I think that they're branding me as blasphemous. LOL! But that's just it, right? I still love animation no matter what they say. I still love art despite their insults. I will paint and design until my hands bleed. STANDING UP to what you believe in is hard. And it is even harder when you're scraping for money.

Then the question which everyone dreads comes to you: WHY NOT LEAVE YOUR PASSION? Oh yeah, been there a couple of times. And truthfully, I've been running away. Took several jobs not related to art at all. But in the end, not one made me happy as I was when I finished my first painting. Nothing beats the praise of an artistic mentor. Nothing can compete with the feeling of having your very first exhibit. These...these are gifts I will remember till the day I die. And right now, though I'm doubting my ability and I'm slowly crossing this tightrope...I won't back down. This time, I'll STAND MY GROUND. For sure, for sure....

COSPLAY FOR A CAUSE

Creating a Cosplay Team is definitely not my priority. But then again, as the years pass by, I realized that it's not just about what I want anymore. The team longed for it. It? -,- Sadly, I can't say NO. Why? I'll be another 'practical' parent if I deny a child's dream. And I do not want to crush a dream. No, not me. I am very thankful to the TINTA|production members for being my support, for listening to my boring sermons and for being patient. I hope all those are worth it. ^_^ (looks at members smiling...) And hey, I got the hang of it...

The team participated in a feeding program a few days ago. That time I realized that, my hobby (cosplaying) is a very extravagant one. Well, actually I already know that before that's why we helped BantayBata last 2008. But I was reminded once more. More than loving the art, I'd love to help the kids who are most unfortunate. These kids who need love and attention...who need food and clothes. I was never left alone when I was a kid. Seeing them on the wet sand with no piece of decent clothing looking up to me as they smile breaks my heart. T_T they still smile....

Talking with the team about this, we decided to help out and participate every year. And that's why the ANBUFest 2010 on FEBRUARY 13, 2010 have its purpose too.
1. To gather cosplayers
2. To promote cosplaying
3. TO RAISE FUNDS for BantayBata 163.

I am calling all cosplayers to please...please do the same. Let's not only walk the dream...let's do more than walking the dream...
