Last September 29, 2012, almost 3:00 pm (GMT+08 ), I finally came back to cosplaying after being on hiatus for over a year... The event was Cosplay Mania '12 held in SM Mall of Asia SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, the Philippines... It was truly an epic day for me... Lots of old friends were surprised to see me back in a costume... Got to see some new faces as well... That's what I get for being inactive... LOL...

I cannot show you guys the full costume yet... But you can see half of it as you click the link below... (Credits to NPPA images)

That same photo was also featured in a Yahoo Philippines News article by Angela Galia and NPPA images... Article can be viewed here...

Now, the pros and cons in wearing that costume...

Cons (My mistakes):
1.) My mistake... I made the head too tight... It squeezes my head and I have to take the helmet off a couple of times just for my blood to circulate in my head...
2.) My visual range is also limited since I can only see through a narrow horizontal gap while my line of sight is being flashed by 4 small LED lights...
3.) Some parts come off easily... Especially the tie... But not too often...
4.) The costume itself is not complete due to lack of time making it...
5.) Although I don't complain about this but I'll include this anyway... Maneuverability is limited...

Pros:
1.) Most people in the event thought I was a girl in that costume... So technically, I was a trap...
2.) Even though the design is somewhat complex, people still recognize who I was portraying as... Well... Hatsune Miku is indeed popular...
3.) Mecha/Robot cosplay in the Philippines is a complete eye candy to/for kids of all ages... Got many photo ops...
4.) I got to be the first person to cosplay the Fei Yen version of Hatsune Miku... It's still an achievement for me...
5.) Despite of how covered I was in the costume, it's still cool while wearing it... Literally cool... I didn't sweat much...

Acknowledgements:
That's all for this journal... I would like to thank :iconnekomikasai: for making the spandex part of the costume... I would not have done this cosplay without her... I would also like to thank :iconseseostara: for giving me inspiration... As far as the Hatsune Miku Fei Yen costume goes, I might NOT put it on again for a very long time... But maybe... Just maybe... :)
