Plant Convergence 2024 and Balai Seafood restaurant weekend with the seniors treat

Last time I hosted my set-up kept me comfortable. I'm starting my minimalistic eco-life and following Condo's rule with clothes. So far, I've added this to my minimalistic investment looks that sparks joy! I never knew I had this piece. The shorts are Freyed Hem that was given from meaw's collection and the leather cotton and polyester material was unforeseeable attribute of comfort and perfect for a weekend casual occasion. My top is a spaghetti strap cotton top must be the type of jersey fabric, it holds a certain warmth but since it is open neck and arms, it comfortable at summer. The top is longer than what is pictured here but I styled it by tucking it in. The V-necked shaped top adds flattery to my small chest giving the illusion of bigger bust. The freyed hem shorts at first sight looked like it undone from sewing machine, but it's a style for a simple plain colored leather that shouts a statement for street fashion. My two toned hair can be made to look similar to Anime character, Nezuko, a cute vampire. The sides of the leather shorts has a red polyester fabric label which I thought should be removed but it is also part of the style. My floral foot stockings keeps me warm from the chilly tile floor of the suite, it has I've kept my makeup simple and just applied a droopy eyeliner for that soft look with brick color lipstick. Next time, I'm planning to have my closet purged again and I will have my preloved items on sale at facebook, I will be needing a huge space since projects keep coming up, and I'll need more space. Stay tuned when I post and if there's anything that you might like, just send me a message. Last time I hosted my set-up kept me comfortable.

For our third day, we were invited to cover Casa Eros Muebles at Rizal, Casa Eros Muebles is a furniture making and services company by Mr. Alex Morales Abergas, he invited us, bloggers to his showroom which is his very own house for a good coverage. It took us around an hour to get to the venue after waiting for other bloggers at Gateway, the ride was supposedly short but due to ASEAN summit, even the alternate routes we take took us more than an hour. Upon entry to the park garage, the seats are lined for dining and a flat screen ready for the presentation Entrance to the main door one of the highlights featuring an intricate console table designed with huge golden Mirror, table is featuring gold buddha figurines and bouquet of roses and leaves. The house is located deep in a subdivision and when I went down from the van, I was astonished by the Christmas decors outside his home. He had great bright Christmas lights and Santa in front of his main door, Tables and Chairs are lined up in his parking way. Upon entering, the aroma of lavender struck me and a golden home had blinded me for a second. My first thought was I am in an alternate dimension from our home. Yes, it looked like our home but brighter and more golden, the Victorian Chairs, fancy lights and the decor is a light version of my home. At home we actually do have dark wood french chairs, it's mom personal taste. Seating in a gorgeous french cabriole sofa poses are effortless and a must have for your living area if you want the parisian flair style. How I wish the press release was given earlier as I got dizzy from the travels, my system could not digest all the information in the Press release, but I could never forget to do my job and get the picture perfect selfies and played with the camera, photographers were delighted to get pictures of us and the staff of Casa Eros Muebles is incredibly kind and courteous. I felt incredibly welcome. When I visited the bathroom, it was a moment of OMG hashtag I think I'm in another country! They have boosted a refreshing vanilla scent with full airconditioning! Plants beside and over the toilet tank helps filter the air and an angel sculpture and pine cones add sense of holiday feeling to the bathroom. We were toured in his bedroom and other rooms that express a touch of modernity and Victorian. He said that he has made different projects other than Victorian which I would definitely love to see! Before heading to the tour, a dazzling Christmas tree stands below the stair way in welcome of the holiday season. Grecian Lady carrying a vase stops you before heading up stairs to gaze at her stunning white shiny beautiful figure. Adjacent are angels with a magnificent lampshade for dramatic lighting feel in the room. Stairs heading to second floor rooms are wooden polished denoting warmness of home leading upstairs The white fur and header create a sophisticated feel to the golden arches, the pillows are soft as feather inviting the tired and weary modern princess to take a snooze. Beside the bed is a welcoming table used as a workspace. A pose for the working modern princess The desk serves dual purpose of workspace and vanity, who doesn't need that? Evidence of a Catholic devotee, Mr. Alex arranged the altar rendering style present through a golden glass table and chairs. After the briefing and tour by Mr. Alex, they invited us to dinner, it was then they disclosed, the same day is Mr. Alex's birthday! Had I known I would have brought a gift! but instead, he had given us gifts, he offered wine which I couldn't contain myself to sip! We made a good toast for him! Upon reading his biography, I was struck as to how great of a self-starter he was, he had been through a lot, yet he continued with his passion and I can definitely relate! Yes, it's just one sip, right? His projects can turn dull gloomy furniture into an astonishing piece of art we can all boasts internationally! His techniques refer to antique restoration which we all love to see the before and after, right? A creative use of space under the stairs, Mr. Alex placed a square two leveled wood shelving housing small animals and Parisian tower for details. Which reminded me if I could have his services for our Victorian sala refurbishing, I also wonder if he accepts Lolita Photoshoots in his home? I was too shy to ask. On a small corner the stairs, A nativity diorama scene is placed on a rounded wooden table Referring this blog post to him can get you a 10% discount if you're interested to have interiors fit for a queen and king! A lone standing pillar adorned with greek plates representing ancient lives Athena and Odysseus painted on ceramic plate A designated division for the kitchen and the living room was given life with an overhead wood shelving showcasing porcelain horse, southeast asian cabinet and ceramic scent burner, below is a metal cage and poinsettia giving off Christmas feel to the room. I did feel like a princess when I stepped inside but I certainly came out having the feeling like I became a queen just by staying for an hour or two! I got extra shy to approach him but I never did fail to say my Happy Birthday and Thank you for the great evening that we had, he even asked us if we were together with the other bloggers but my shyness resurfaced and I wasn't able to tell him that we are separate individual bloggers from the ones he had questioned.

Visit their webpage at http://casaerosmuebles.com or like them on facebook https://www.facebook.com/eroshomedesigns/ HOW IT ALL STARTED: I was an employee, an Assistant Manager from a multi-billion Fastfood Restaurant chain at the age of 20, rose from the ranks to become an Asst. Store Manager, a recipient of several awards from this company, then to a Regional and Training Manager of a nationwide bakery chain in the country, became General Manager, and Vice President of a prestigious multinational company after 25 yrs. Being both creative and analytical, I also tried to become a band singer abroad in between my career. It was during my work as Regional Manager of a large bakery chain in the Phils when I decided to study further on baking, but this time on cakes and pastries. I experimented my own wheat pizza an cake lines which got featured on national tv “Chef Eros Pizza/pasta, bread and cakes, this ran for more or less than 5 years with 4 to 5 branches …Knowing the difficulty of maintaining the overhead expenditures including rent and perishable inventories, I gave up and closed the shop in the mall. I was hired again by this international bakeshop company to work in a corporate environment. But knowing my quench for business, I left the company and partnered with some contractors who do construction business and interior design. As a child, I was always the most industrious child, cleaning our house and changing drapery, playing with small furniture and designing my own miniature home at the age of 8 or 9. The obstacle I faced was during my high school days when my parents start selling our properties due to bankruptcy. I forced myself to ride the jeepney going to school and college until I graduated with a degree in HOTEL AND RESTAURANT MGT. I WAS AN “A” STUDENT IN COLLEGE. There were also instances in my career when I lost jobs in between and had to rent small rooms, apartments, and houses since we lost almost all my parent’s properties. But still, I don’t feel satisfied because I feel indifferent and could not play politics in the corporate world. I always knew deep inside that I am best suited for business. I wanted to create my own world for success and prove myself that success can be achieved when you have focus, determination, and vision. And that being an employee will never get you anywhere after 60 yrs old. I learned from the contractors/builders how easy it was for me to design houses, considering that I've been renting almost all of my life. I was transferring my few types of furniture every now and then where my job suits me I relocate since I don’t have a house on my own. When you have that particular skill that you love doing, that burning passion to build and design a beautiful environment both in and out whether u are renting or good you own a place. Now, I even set aside a capital just for Christmas where I change themes each year. Encouraging my friends and followers in social media to cleanse, clean their houses to attract the positive energy and welcome the joyous Christmas spirit. I ALWAYS HAVE THAT BASIC PRINCIPLE IN LIFE THAT … when you have a clean home.. you will always attract the positive energy of happiness, of love, of peace and serenity. In the business of interior design, you must have that special “eye” for color, specific materials, and beauty, simplicity, or even a grandiose set up while depending these characteristics with your client’s personality. I interview clients of their own styles at first and then I incorporate my own styles as well. I got exposed to the furniture business when I learned how to do upholstery and what materials are being used to ensure that quality will last and can be inherited by your next of kin. Since some clients also look for new furniture aside from asking me to do interior design. Then fix their garden landscape and so on and so forth. It was a few years ago when I designed my own furniture line, bought sewing machines, etc..I really wanted a Victorian-inspired design because I am very fond of gold, brown and white as my focal dominant colors. I started buying chandeliers, antique lampshades, etc… the rest is history. In other words, I became very fond of extravagant displays and furniture and large space homes where everyone can feel like a “King” or “Prince” inside your own small or big castle. It doesn’t matter if you have a small or big space, it is how you design that makes your ambience spectacular and YOU CAN ATTAIN THAT FABULOUS ambience by using choice furniture, by knowing how to arrange them in order to achieve a remarkable homey, relaxing and inviting place, by “grouping” furniture and displays in one area. I started investing in antique furniture and redesigning them. Changing and experimenting with colors and fabrics. I also look for unique buttons and fabrics to set my own designer appeal where I'm sure there is no one like this in the market. I also went to different furniture shops both local and abroad and check the intricate details and quality. From my humble beginnings working from the restaurants, as Pastry Chef, now a Furniture Designer and Interior Designer…. I found my heart in designing, practicing my creativity and artwork. I want to share my artistry and uniqueness as my sense of pride, happiness, and fulfillment. God is a fair God because He will let you decide on your own little way on how you can express yourself:”The gift of art, culture, and design”. I also incorporate what I learned from experience and study.The 60-30-10 % RULE OF INTERIOR DESIGN. In my own words, my 3 tone color rule. At Casa Eros Muebles, we design, we decorate, we restore, we customize, we individualize and we make people and families happy in their own tranquil home.” Because when you have a beautiful home, you would rather stay home and seize the moment.

PUBG GIRL COSPLAY and uhm... a few delays...It was an overcast October when I found myself brimming with excitement, heading to KFC BONIFACIO TRIANGLE for a unique collaboration between KFC and PUBG that had piqued my interest. After some friendly banter and a flurry of last-minute decisions, it was unanimously agreed that I would embrace the role of a fierce PUBG GIRL, a prospect that filled me with both nervous anticipation and exhilaration. My first mission was to acquire the essential accouterments for my transformation: the iconic Helmet Cap and the much-coveted Pistol Bag. The Helmet Cap arrived precisely as expected, instantly setting my heart aflutter with anticipation. However, our hopes for the timely arrival of the Pistol Bag were dashed as we encountered an unexpected hurdle. Despite mentally preparing ourselves for a potential delay, the fervent seller, sensing our eagerness, hastened the dispatch of the item, unwittingly subjecting us to an agonizing waiting game that put our punctuality to the test. Consequently, we found ourselves entangled in a web of discussions with both Lazada and the determined seller, navigating through the labyrinthine channels of logistics and negotiations. This unforeseen turn of events threw a wrench in our plans, resulting in a regretful delay in our departure from the chaotic realm of troubleshooting to the eagerly anticipated venue. As we finally arrived at the bustling venue, a contagious wave of excitement enveloped us, infusing the air with an electric buzz of camaraderie and shared enthusiasm. Eager to seize every moment of this unique experience, we dived headfirst into a whirlwind of candid snapshots and infectious laughter, relishing every opportunity to immortalize the essence of our transformation.

PUBG GIRL COSPLAY and uhm... a few delays...It was an overcast October when I found myself brimming with excitement, heading to KFC BONIFACIO TRIANGLE for a unique collaboration between KFC and PUBG that had piqued my interest. After some friendly banter and a flurry of last-minute decisions, it was unanimously agreed that I would embrace the role of a fierce PUBG GIRL, a prospect that filled me with both nervous anticipation and exhilaration. My first mission was to acquire the essential accouterments for my transformation: the iconic Helmet Cap and the much-coveted Pistol Bag. The Helmet Cap arrived precisely as expected, instantly setting my heart aflutter with anticipation. However, our hopes for the timely arrival of the Pistol Bag were dashed as we encountered an unexpected hurdle. Despite mentally preparing ourselves for a potential delay, the fervent seller, sensing our eagerness, hastened the dispatch of the item, unwittingly subjecting us to an agonizing waiting game that put our punctuality to the test. Consequently, we found ourselves entangled in a web of discussions with both Lazada and the determined seller, navigating through the labyrinthine channels of logistics and negotiations. This unforeseen turn of events threw a wrench in our plans, resulting in a regretful delay in our departure from the chaotic realm of troubleshooting to the eagerly anticipated venue. As we finally arrived at the bustling venue, a contagious wave of excitement enveloped us, infusing the air with an electric buzz of camaraderie and shared enthusiasm. Eager to seize every moment of this unique experience, we dived headfirst into a whirlwind of candid snapshots and infectious laughter, relishing every opportunity to immortalize the essence of our transformation. Amidst the flurry of activity, my attention was momentarily drawn to the familiar figure of PAOLUL, in front of the camera, capturing the essence of excitement and camaraderie in this event.

Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay “Not a Queen. A Khaleesi” Costume and Fabric process: Following manager's plan I'm starting to take confidence on my work. Last night, although it was late, I've finished the cape for the Khalessi costume. It was not the thick quality though, I was told I should just make it as thin as possible because my comfort is most priority and he doesn't want to have me feel weight because of my clothes. I've only folded and sewn the edges, it does not look as clean as it is in the pictures but it will do. I've to edit the main dress though which I feel guilty of cutting, besides the fact that I have no idea of what to edit and strategies to edit it correctly. The cloth is luxurious, the texture and feel is fit for a queen. I would love to wear it as it is and not edit it at all, I feel really guilty having to cut it, but I have to. We all have this guilt moments when it comes to editing something, the main dress which I need to edit though, its a gift from overseas, when loved ones found out I was going to cosplay the Queen of Meereen, they immediately sent me a dress they think that the texture would be perfect for the cosplay, when I received it, it is as expected, perfect! Yet, upon staring at it for quite sometime, I feel guilty. I am tempted to keep it and use it on my own but this was their wish to see this dress turn into a royal gown, so I must do what I must. It's the same as I did with Ahri, her main red top to bottom linens were handpicked by loved ones and I admit they have impressive judgement to choosing the right cloth. At first, I hesitated because it wasn't as shown in pictures, but it made me imagine how exquisite it would look like when it's done and this piece would even become an icon in becoming a Queen's dress. While working on the design infront of the main dress, I did everything by hand, it took countless tries and my fingers bled from the needle punctures, but as progress starts to show the satisfaction is incredible. Many times I repeat an area because I needed it to be perfect and so it does. Nothing pleases me more but to do what I love most doing and I could do it forever. I took a break after I finished the front. Turns out it wasn't the plan my partner was expecting, he plans to save the dress shoulders, which I feel is impossible because the dress is off-shoulder after all. So I took a break for a while. I woke up the next day starting the dress top again but failed. This time my partner instructed, I cried because I am unable to get his plans for the sewing, little by little I sewed. On my third try it finally took shape, several adjustments has to be done and a few more needle work to get the correct fitting on the chest part. After I finished his prototype, I tried another from scratch, I used the scraps from the leftovers of the first trial and asked his permission to get some from the white spandex linen. I'm not scared to sew spandex in the sewing machine because I've done it before. Doing my own style from scratch I started shaping the breast area, taking a yellow dress for a reference, then copying that and sewing the bottom part, I fear that I placed the linen for the bottom part wrongly underneath the chest linen but it doesn't matter anyway, everything looked great. Whenever I wear it, the spandex into my figure giving out my natural shape, I am hesitant to get the cape from the recent project since he might want me to shoot it first so I'll let it and I'll wait once shoot it over. A slit on the side looks great but if I push through my project I might need to modify and close it up, I'm thinking about that. It's midnight, I had my nap just this evening but I feel exhausted and sleepy, maybe I'm still tired from all that sewing and planning. When my manager's shift was finished, he saw my work and chose the one I did from scratch. He immediately decided to go for that costume for the shoot instead of the modified version. I feel bad for the dress, but I only cut small portion of it so I can always return it back to its normal state. Anyway, he said that using spandex on the lower portion would really get the shape of my body which would look great and ordered me to complete it with the cape. So, I did complete it and showed him the final look, It was splendid work. Even I agree, it only lacks the front accessory and all it set, our debate that I can do it from scratch finally came to a conclusion that I can do it. Although, this one is a prototype still, we both agree to produce a real quality one that we agreed at first, this one will only be used for the photoshoot. Yes, we usually do different dress for shoot and at cosplay or events, taking note of the real world quality and textures by thoroughly planning and researching on good fabric pieces, sometimes we tend to deviate what is in the reference as it is not applicable in real life but we sure provide a better alternative that can surely impress. I'll be adding this prototype Daenerys dress to the list, if you need a Daenerys to hire, this one is available, but as I said there will be a better one to come. Why we chose this version of Daenerys We've all like Daenerys and we could all agree how magnanimous it would be to see if she does fit mine, I've been told that I resemble her on certain points and at times when I speak, although I hesitate to agree, it would be an honor to dress up the Khalessi of Meereen. Why this dress? It's where we all agree that this dress is simple yet oozing with elegance and the dress shouts the authority of both beauty and magnificence. Her continued success in conquering kingdoms are her greatest portfolio a woman would dream to have, even if she lost Khal Drogo in the past, this is the part where she also gains loyalty from Sir Jorah Mormont and others with her willing to sacrifice their life for her. This kingdom I feel is one of the most challenging of all because not only does the people of Meereen have tendency to stab you in the back, but the pyramid walls lack the capability to protect the people inside unless there's a dragon to fetch you from above. The more you move higher the lesser chance of survival you get Politics in this kingdom is most challenging since the slaves feel that they want justice on their own hands or turn their former masters into slaves and even with a fair trial they want to be the one protected or else they hiss on you, not very fair isn't it? With the Dothraki, they have the system to follow the strongest, the unsullied decided to follow Daenerys in unison, but in the city of Mereen, the moment that slaves feel you don't do something on their favor, you are good as gone. That is total chaos, so the difficulty level of her reign for me here is her best portfolio of all. Photoshoot I've made a separate blog for the shoot, kindly head there to see it. The photo shoot was moved late at the end of the week, it was because our boss had more demands lately and we couldn't even attend maker faire, I wanted to see cool stuff there too but I guess this is how it goes. I've test drive the suit one time and I know there are few missing pieces but that's easy to supply. The weather isn't favorable for a shoot and we get water shortages most of the time making it harder to do preparation besides work. Lately, my stomach's getting more and more upset, it might be stress syndrome again because we moved date a lot but that's how everything goes, we are a team and if without the others help, some missing pieces won't be delivered with quality. It has been really sluggish at cosplay work these past few months, the weather has affected me much and I admit personal life interferes too making my cosplay commitments to move date, however, it doesn't stop for the fact that projects must be finished even if late. I worry a lot but I've made a good progress with speed, since most projects are done in hurry, all I can say is that careful planning is important, strategize which to prioritize that can affect the whole work so that quality is never sacrificed. Adjustments to be noted Wearing corset underneath is great however since textures of the costume are smooth it glides, which displaces location but only because we still lack one accessory to the costume and that it the silver lining on the chest area, it should keep everything tight still and in place, it will have to be fetch soon though once desk work is finished. We'll only add the brown rope for the shoulder and adding some adjustments on the waist and we're done for the photoshoot. However, for the event, manager added a bit of elegance to the front chest and back. Front Myssa of Mereen Khalessi Costume accessory The pleated skirt arrived a bit late, we had ours ordered on overseas, we decided that we get one separate from the costume and that we will need a professional's work for it since pleated skirts are hard to do diy, the color is a bit different but it certainly adds body to the dress. Back view Daenerys Targaryen Myssa of Mereen Khalessi costume accessory For the event proper, we had to adjust the height of the slit to be higher and possibly not show cleavage, the photoshoot has and supposed to be worn that way but manager is concerned of my safety for this reason. New wig, new Daenerys costume, and Jon Snow?! We've done a pre-shoot of my self styled white wig to compare how it would look in comparison for the wig that was really for Daenerys. The wig was bought from a cosplayer too and she was really gracious to offer another costume for meaw, the Jon Snow costume; when meaw tried it on, he said that he might just do Sam instead of Jon Snow. She also offered the costume of Daenerys in blue when she was heading to Mereen, surprisingly fit me as well, although she said that the one who last borrowed it tried to open a seam at the back to fit her so it will still be needed to be closed again. Since I can see that it doesn't need to be closed because it's not visible, we proceeded as to buy it from her as another costume collection. Before the event Tensions rise as the days go near and we were informed that we still need to go to the dry run on August 6th at 6pm. We're kind of surprised bec. we did not know and wasn't in the contract that there'd be a dry run, so we tried to weigh it out if it would be best to stay in a nearby location or still head home since the main event is at morning. We decided that since its impossible to take a commute with that too close of a time, then only a stay would be the best option. My partner, supposedly John Snow or Sam, he couldn't decided which, had a last minute shopping for his boots and my neck accessory at Jackmann Plaza; It is a small improvisation he places on the dress. Oh, and yeah, he chose the photoshoot prototype to be the one to be used for this event, don't ask me why, I've been asking him either, he said it was great enough. He's happy that the moment for him to soon shave his beard will come soon as we had to grow it long for the character. We dined in former Jollibee now KFC munoz, and the interior had certain changes but still, the memories especially when we dined with my workmates here lingers a lot. I wish I could have spent more time with them before we parted ways. I did one last mod on the dress, the open slit for the pleated inner garment. Rehearsal Briefing Solaire Hotel and Casino wearing Korean dress My manager's plan was sort of in disarray and my schedules adjusted like a domino, when Ms. Bianca had set the date for us to attend the rehearsal, we agreed since we thought that it's important to get acquianted of what to do for the event. On our ride, we took 2 grab, but the 2nd grab there were 2 stops, one for juan gadget to pick up a battery dock and battery, then at Solaire. Our Grab drivers were really friendly and helpful, we had a wonderful conversation either, the last grab had the same name as meaw. We were assisted at the tent which was located as extension of the solaire further at the back of the casino, I was astonished to see the space the tent offers and the rows of aircons plus the stage, the beautiful table settings, even the spacious booths, there weren't much to see at this day since all are in dissarray but I could imagine how magnanimous it would be like walking down the aisle of a wedding. Manager talked to Ms. Bianca the best background visual to be used for the event and the song was played on the background with such heightened feeling of majestic excitement and emotion. We were briefed of what we were going to do and Ms. Bianca described how they would make it grand for the Queen, we met with the boss soon after and headed for a hotel. We checked in to a hotel where some bloggers recommend for a budget friendly but with a legend serving delicious pancit although when we ordered it was already sold out huhuhu. The room was spacious treat for us to maneuver around for our costume. HOTEL CHECK-IN We decided to check in to a hotel the day before, relied on blogs review, and tried Mahal Kita Drive Inn and restaurant because of their famous Pancit Canton however when we got it there it was 10pm and the stocks ran out so we randomly ordered food. Well, my overall rating for this hotel is 6/10. The aircon was too loud and you won't be able to sleep but the space is huge, the price is good however for us that really need that snooze to be fresh and looking for tomorrow really needs that silence that we didn't get. THE FIRST DAY TALES OF TIME AT SOLAIRE TENT FOR CANADIAN MANUFACTURING The first day was trial and error, but the place was all set, the place had the look of castle. The sections were labeled in a cloth of medieval crest and carpeted hallway gave a royalty treat. The tables in the dining area have shining silverware candles and buffet with servers surround the tables. The stage had amazing displays with the Iron throne on where I will seat. We were given 2 seats behind the accounting staff at the back. We greeted guests who signed up and we stood at the front door, Sat at the thrones, Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay took dozens of pictures etc. Etc. The King and Queen was served a meal and snacks with crew stub and buffet at lunch time, presentation is good. The tent had a shortcut backstage going inside the solaire main for the cr which was convenient but sometimes dangerous when the gusts of wind from the storm hit the tent, however, the main area of the tent isn't affected with the wind, only the passage way to cr. Chicken, brocolli, sesame seasoning with rice at Solaire Tent resorts and casino for Tales of time Canadian bedding THE FIRST STAGE PERFORMANCE Ms. Bianca had me sit on the Iron throne and Jon Snow at the side. Mr. Boy was our announcer for the buffet time. Although it was only a short screen time, the guests loved when we sat by on some of the exhibit thrones for picture taking. Everyone was careful and wary of actions since there are a lot of International VIPs on business talks and we don't want them distracted. Meaw was approached by one of the alumni boss and what a small world, their families seem to know each other and have been business partners before! He was startled at first and kept whining about how he feels like Jon Snow but I encouraged him with some words and he said they were able to find closure when they spoke in the bathroom. Backstage at Solaire Tent Tales of Time on my Daenerys Targayen Myssa of Mereen costume The first day, my whole muscles ached, this is only the warm-up, because manager had planned to use this as a starting point for a refresher rigorous model body training, talk about the next day! We took a ride home commute of LRT Baclaran station, yes we went home. If we weren't summoned on the rehearsal, it should have been this night that we will use to check-in for the night, but since we already had a night spent already at a hotel, manager decided to still go home. I was surprised our Grab driver pulled us at the foot of Baclaran stairs! There weren't any vendors everywhere that afternoon! Thank God for all those who efforted to have this place clean! The ride took only 1 and 45 minutes but I was dead tired when I got home, I couldn't cook anymore so we handed it down to our trusted 7-11. THE SECOND AND LAST DAY AT TALES OF TIME, SOLAIRE I woke up at 5 am the next day, wore make-up and rode North Station LRT, it was raining hard and we couldn't get a cab after Lrt ride, manager was robbed off taxi summon by the road callers, so we decided to call Grab taxi, thankfully there was one. Last day at the resort, We were late for 30 minutes from the harsh weather and ride to Solaire. Then we were stationed by the door and thrones as usual, but this day we were briefed for the performance that I sit on the throne, raise our hands for the buffet, and listen to the quartet, it was then that we met the quartet and we befriended them. The most enjoyable part was when we were having conversation with Mr. Boy, he showed me a trick with the screw ring moved on its own unscrewing from the screw and I was astonished of such talent! The Quartet had played such beautiful piece from Game of Thrones etc. And they were incredible! While Mr. Boy took rounds to showcase his magic among clients, we had been busy taking pictures with the VIPs. Ms. Bianca opted for an overtime till 6 and manager objected since it will be hard for us to journey with LRT on that rushed time, unless they sponsor Grab, so along with the x-deal and grab he agreed. The bedsheet from Canadian Bedding Manufacturing designed and named Daenerys bedsheet, others are named Drogo and Jaime Wearing Daenerys bedsheet designed as a dress for the Khalessi She had me wear a dress they made called 'Daenerys', had a size issue but my manager adjusted and added the cape for visual fashion sense, I definitely felt like a model backstage. ^_^. Dress looked bulkier in photos because I had the Khalessi dress underneath as instructed. I am so grateful for those that appreciated my work and told me 'cute', especially the international boss who complimented my age. We had lunch Kaldereta but I was too hungry I ate it before taking pic. It was so grand and even saw Sansa at Louis Vutton endorsement, second day was harsh on the location of the C.R as they had to close the area by the pool due to inclement weather, but everytime I had to take a bladder break, I see these brands and it was such a treat. Thanks to the invite of Ms. Bianca and the last Grab treat we were able to go home safely and easily. This one experience checked my Year goals to done, if u remember my year goals, ✔ 1. Travel ✔ 2. Wear something cute ✔ 3. Get a comfy new minimalist sheets and bed sets. Bonus: Be treated as a Khalessi Thank you for making this possible, Ms. Bianca and to Canadian Manufacturing Corp., Solaire for the venue and joys from the Mr. Boy, melodies from Quartet, the Photographers who had captured the memories, all staff. It's a blessing worth a lifetime ^_^ IN LOVING MEMORY OF SIR BOY This blog was made 2019, but only released on 2024 so dates pertaining above was supposed to be that year, I apologize that this blog was published late as I only recovered these corrupted files just of late. Also, the photoshoot blog is on the next blog. Click to see it. Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay “Not a Queen.

Why this dress? It's where we all agree that this dress is simple yet oozing with elegance and the dress shouts the authority of both beauty and magnificence. Her continued success in conquering kingdoms are her greatest portfolio a woman would dream to have, even if she lost Khal Drogo in the past, this is the part where she also gains loyalty from Sir Jorah Mormont and others with her willing to sacrifice their life for her. This kingdom I feel is one of the most challenging of all because not only does the people of Meereen have tendency to stab you in the back, but the pyramid walls lack the capability to protect the people inside unless there's a dragon to fetch you from above. The more you move higher the lesser chance of survival you get Politics in this kingdom is most challenging since the slaves feel that they want justice on their own hands or turn their former masters into slaves and even with a fair trial they want to be the one protected or else they hiss on you, not very fair isn't it? With the Dothraki, they have the system to follow the strongest, the unsullied decided to follow Daenerys in unison, but in the city of Mereen, the moment that slaves feel you don't do something on their favor, you are good as gone. That is total chaos, so the difficulty level of her reign for me here is her best portfolio of all. Photoshoot I've made a separate blog for the shoot, kindly head there to see it. The photo shoot was moved late at the end of the week, it was because our boss had more demands lately and we couldn't even attend maker faire, I wanted to see cool stuff there too but I guess this is how it goes. I've test drive the suit one time and I know there are few missing pieces but that's easy to supply. The weather isn't favorable for a shoot and we get water shortages most of the time making it harder to do preparation besides work. Lately, my stomach's getting more and more upset, it might be stress syndrome again because we moved date a lot but that's how everything goes, we are a team and if without the others help, some missing pieces won't be delivered with quality. It has been really sluggish at cosplay work these past few months, the weather has affected me much and I admit personal life interferes too making my cosplay commitments to move date, however, it doesn't stop for the fact that projects must be finished even if late. I worry a lot but I've made a good progress with speed, since most projects are done in hurry, all I can say is that careful planning is important, strategize which to prioritize that can affect the whole work so that quality is never sacrificed. Adjustments to be noted Wearing corset underneath is great however since textures of the costume are smooth it glides, which displaces location but only because we still lack one accessory to the costume and that it the silver lining on the chest area, it should keep everything tight still and in place, it will have to be fetch soon though once desk work is finished. We'll only add the brown rope for the shoulder and adding some adjustments on the waist and we're done for the photoshoot. However, for the event, manager added a bit of elegance to the front chest and back. Front Myssa of Mereen Khalessi Costume accessory The pleated skirt arrived a bit late, we had ours ordered on overseas, we decided that we get one separate from the costume and that we will need a professional's work for it since pleated skirts are hard to do diy, the color is a bit different but it certainly adds body to the dress. Back view Daenerys Targaryen Myssa of Mereen Khalessi costume accessory For the event proper, we had to adjust the height of the slit to be higher and possibly not show cleavage, the photoshoot has and supposed to be worn that way but manager is concerned of my safety for this reason. New wig, new Daenerys costume, and Jon Snow?! We've done a pre-shoot of my self styled white wig to compare how it would look in comparison for the wig that was really for Daenerys. The wig was bought from a cosplayer too and she was really gracious to offer another costume for meaw, the Jon Snow costume; when meaw tried it on, he said that he might just do Sam instead of Jon Snow. She also offered the costume of Daenerys in blue when she was heading to Mereen, surprisingly fit me as well, although she said that the one who last borrowed it tried to open a seam at the back to fit her so it will still be needed to be closed again. Since I can see that it doesn't need to be closed because it's not visible, we proceeded as to buy it from her as another costume collection. Before the event Tensions rise as the days go near and we were informed that we still need to go to the dry run on August 6th at 6pm. We're kind of surprised bec. we did not know and wasn't in the contract that there'd be a dry run, so we tried to weigh it out if it would be best to stay in a nearby location or still head home since the main event is at morning. We decided that since its impossible to take a commute with that too close of a time, then only a stay would be the best option. My partner, supposedly John Snow or Sam, he couldn't decided which, had a last minute shopping for his boots and my neck accessory at Jackmann Plaza; It is a small improvisation he places on the dress. Oh, and yeah, he chose the photoshoot prototype to be the one to be used for this event, don't ask me why, I've been asking him either, he said it was great enough. He's happy that the moment for him to soon shave his beard will come soon as we had to grow it long for the character. We dined in former Jollibee now KFC munoz, and the interior had certain changes but still, the memories especially when we dined with my workmates here lingers a lot. I wish I could have spent more time with them before we parted ways. I did one last mod on the dress, the open slit for the pleated inner garment. Rehearsal Briefing Solaire Hotel and Casino wearing Korean dress My manager's plan was sort of in disarray and my schedules adjusted like a domino, when Ms. Bianca had set the date for us to attend the rehearsal, we agreed since we thought that it's important to get acquianted of what to do for the event. On our ride, we took 2 grab, but the 2nd grab there were 2 stops, one for juan gadget to pick up a battery dock and battery, then at Solaire. Our Grab drivers were really friendly and helpful, we had a wonderful conversation either, the last grab had the same name as meaw. We were assisted at the tent which was located as extension of the solaire further at the back of the casino, I was astonished to see the space the tent offers and the rows of aircons plus the stage, the beautiful table settings, even the spacious booths, there weren't much to see at this day since all are in dissarray but I could imagine how magnanimous it would be like walking down the aisle of a wedding. Manager talked to Ms. Bianca the best background visual to be used for the event and the song was played on the background with such heightened feeling of majestic excitement and emotion. We were briefed of what we were going to do and Ms. Bianca described how they would make it grand for the Queen, we met with the boss soon after and headed for a hotel. We checked in to a hotel where some bloggers recommend for a budget friendly but with a legend serving delicious pancit although when we ordered it was already sold out huhuhu. The room was spacious treat for us to maneuver around for our costume. HOTEL CHECK-IN We decided to check in to a hotel the day before, relied on blogs review, and tried Mahal Kita Drive Inn and restaurant because of their famous Pancit Canton however when we got it there it was 10pm and the stocks ran out so we randomly ordered food. Well, my overall rating for this hotel is 6/10. The aircon was too loud and you won't be able to sleep but the space is huge, the price is good however for us that really need that snooze to be fresh and looking for tomorrow really needs that silence that we didn't get. THE FIRST DAY TALES OF TIME AT SOLAIRE TENT FOR CANADIAN MANUFACTURING The first day was trial and error, but the place was all set, the place had the look of castle. The sections were labeled in a cloth of medieval crest and carpeted hallway gave a royalty treat. The tables in the dining area have shining silverware candles and buffet with servers surround the tables. The stage had amazing displays with the Iron throne on where I will seat. We were given 2 seats behind the accounting staff at the back. We greeted guests who signed up and we stood at the front door, Sat at the thrones, Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay took dozens of pictures etc. Etc. The King and Queen was served a meal and snacks with crew stub and buffet at lunch time, presentation is good. The tent had a shortcut backstage going inside the solaire main for the cr which was convenient but sometimes dangerous when the gusts of wind from the storm hit the tent, however, the main area of the tent isn't affected with the wind, only the passage way to cr. Chicken, brocolli, sesame seasoning with rice at Solaire Tent resorts and casino for Tales of time Canadian bedding THE FIRST STAGE PERFORMANCE Ms. Bianca had me sit on the Iron throne and Jon Snow at the side. Mr. Boy was our announcer for the buffet time. Although it was only a short screen time, the guests loved when we sat by on some of the exhibit thrones for picture taking. Everyone was careful and wary of actions since there are a lot of International VIPs on business talks and we don't want them distracted. Meaw was approached by one of the alumni boss and what a small world, their families seem to know each other and have been business partners before! He was startled at first and kept whining about how he feels like Jon Snow but I encouraged him with some words and he said they were able to find closure when they spoke in the bathroom. Backstage at Solaire Tent Tales of Time on my Daenerys Targayen Myssa of Mereen costume The first day, my whole muscles ached, this is only the warm-up, because manager had planned to use this as a starting point for a refresher rigorous model body training, talk about the next day! We took a ride home commute of LRT Baclaran station, yes we went home. If we weren't summoned on the rehearsal, it should have been this night that we will use to check-in for the night, but since we already had a night spent already at a hotel, manager decided to still go home. I was surprised our Grab driver pulled us at the foot of Baclaran stairs! There weren't any vendors everywhere that afternoon! Thank God for all those who efforted to have this place clean! The ride took only 1 and 45 minutes but I was dead tired when I got home, I couldn't cook anymore so we handed it down to our trusted 7-11. THE SECOND AND LAST DAY AT TALES OF TIME, SOLAIRE I woke up at 5 am the next day, wore make-up and rode North Station LRT, it was raining hard and we couldn't get a cab after Lrt ride, manager was robbed off taxi summon by the road callers, so we decided to call Grab taxi, thankfully there was one. Last day at the resort, We were late for 30 minutes from the harsh weather and ride to Solaire. Then we were stationed by the door and thrones as usual, but this day we were briefed for the performance that I sit on the throne, raise our hands for the buffet, and listen to the quartet, it was then that we met the quartet and we befriended them. The most enjoyable part was when we were having conversation with Mr. Boy, he showed me a trick with the screw ring moved on its own unscrewing from the screw and I was astonished of such talent! The Quartet had played such beautiful piece from Game of Thrones etc. And they were incredible! While Mr. Boy took rounds to showcase his magic among clients, we had been busy taking pictures with the VIPs. Ms. Bianca opted for an overtime till 6 and manager objected since it will be hard for us to journey with LRT on that rushed time, unless they sponsor Grab, so along with the x-deal and grab he agreed. The bedsheet from Canadian Bedding Manufacturing designed and named Daenerys bedsheet, others are named Drogo and Jaime Wearing Daenerys bedsheet designed as a dress for the Khalessi She had me wear a dress they made called 'Daenerys', had a size issue but my manager adjusted and added the cape for visual fashion sense, I definitely felt like a model backstage. ^_^. Dress looked bulkier in photos because I had the Khalessi dress underneath as instructed. I am so grateful for those that appreciated my work and told me 'cute', especially the international boss who complimented my age. We had lunch Kaldereta but I was too hungry I ate it before taking pic. It was so grand and even saw Sansa at Louis Vutton endorsement, second day was harsh on the location of the C.R as they had to close the area by the pool due to inclement weather, but everytime I had to take a bladder break, I see these brands and it was such a treat. Thanks to the invite of Ms. Bianca and the last Grab treat we were able to go home safely and easily. This one experience checked my Year goals to done, if u remember my year goals, ✔ 1. Travel ✔ 2. Wear something cute ✔ 3. Get a comfy new minimalist sheets and bed sets. Bonus: Be treated as a Khalessi Thank you for making this possible, Ms. Bianca and to Canadian Manufacturing Corp., Solaire for the venue and joys from the Mr. Boy, melodies from Quartet, the Photographers who had captured the memories, all staff. It's a blessing worth a lifetime ^_^ IN LOVING MEMORY OF SIR BOY This blog was made 2019, but only released on 2024 so dates pertaining above was supposed to be that year, I apologize that this blog was published late as I only recovered these corrupted files just of late.

Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay “Not a Queen. A Khaleesi” Costume and Fabric process: Following manager's plan I'm starting to take confidence on my work. Last night, although it was late, I've finished the cape for the Khalessi costume. It was not the thick quality though, I was told I should just make it as thin as possible because my comfort is most priority and he doesn't want to have me feel weight because of my clothes. I've only folded and sewn the edges, it does not look as clean as it is in the pictures but it will do. I've to edit the main dress though which I feel guilty of cutting, besides the fact that I have no idea of what to edit and strategies to edit it correctly. The cloth is luxurious, the texture and feel is fit for a queen. I would love to wear it as it is and not edit it at all, I feel really guilty having to cut it, but I have to. We all have this guilt moments when it comes to editing something, the main dress which I need to edit though, its a gift from overseas, when loved ones found out I was going to cosplay the Queen of Meereen, they immediately sent me a dress they think that the texture would be perfect for the cosplay, when I received it, it is as expected, perfect! Yet, upon staring at it for quite sometime, I feel guilty. I am tempted to keep it and use it on my own but this was their wish to see this dress turn into a royal gown, so I must do what I must. It's the same as I did with Ahri, her main red top to bottom linens were handpicked by loved ones and I admit they have impressive judgement to choosing the right cloth. At first, I hesitated because it wasn't as shown in pictures, but it made me imagine how exquisite it would look like when it's done and this piece would even become an icon in becoming a Queen's dress. While working on the design infront of the main dress, I did everything by hand, it took countless tries and my fingers bled from the needle punctures, but as progress starts to show the satisfaction is incredible. Many times I repeat an area because I needed it to be perfect and so it does. Nothing pleases me more but to do what I love most doing and I could do it forever. I took a break after I finished the front. Turns out it wasn't the plan my partner was expecting, he plans to save the dress shoulders, which I feel is impossible because the dress is off-shoulder after all. So I took a break for a while. I woke up the next day starting the dress top again but failed. This time my partner instructed, I cried because I am unable to get his plans for the sewing, little by little I sewed. On my third try it finally took shape, several adjustments has to be done and a few more needle work to get the correct fitting on the chest part. After I finished his prototype, I tried another from scratch, I used the scraps from the leftovers of the first trial and asked his permission to get some from the white spandex linen. I'm not scared to sew spandex in the sewing machine because I've done it before. Doing my own style from scratch I started shaping the breast area, taking a yellow dress for a reference, then copying that and sewing the bottom part, I fear that I placed the linen for the bottom part wrongly underneath the chest linen but it doesn't matter anyway, everything looked great. Whenever I wear it, the spandex into my figure giving out my natural shape, I am hesitant to get the cape from the recent project since he might want me to shoot it first so I'll let it and I'll wait once shoot it over. A slit on the side looks great but if I push through my project I might need to modify and close it up, I'm thinking about that. It's midnight, I had my nap just this evening but I feel exhausted and sleepy, maybe I'm still tired from all that sewing and planning. When my manager's shift was finished, he saw my work and chose the one I did from scratch. He immediately decided to go for that costume for the shoot instead of the modified version. I feel bad for the dress, but I only cut small portion of it so I can always return it back to its normal state. Anyway, he said that using spandex on the lower portion would really get the shape of my body which would look great and ordered me to complete it with the cape. So, I did complete it and showed him the final look, It was splendid work. Even I agree, it only lacks the front accessory and all it set, our debate that I can do it from scratch finally came to a conclusion that I can do it. Although, this one is a prototype still, we both agree to produce a real quality one that we agreed at first, this one will only be used for the photoshoot. Yes, we usually do different dress for shoot and at cosplay or events, taking note of the real world quality and textures by thoroughly planning and researching on good fabric pieces, sometimes we tend to deviate what is in the reference as it is not applicable in real life but we sure provide a better alternative that can surely impress. I'll be adding this prototype Daenerys dress to the list, if you need a Daenerys to hire, this one is available, but as I said there will be a better one to come. Why we chose this version of Daenerys We've all like Daenerys and we could all agree how magnanimous it would be to see if she does fit mine, I've been told that I resemble her on certain points and at times when I speak, although I hesitate to agree, it would be an honor to dress up the Khalessi of Meereen. Why this dress? It's where we all agree that this dress is simple yet oozing with elegance and the dress shouts the authority of both beauty and magnificence. Her continued success in conquering kingdoms are her greatest portfolio a woman would dream to have, even if she lost Khal Drogo in the past, this is the part where she also gains loyalty from Sir Jorah Mormont and others with her willing to sacrifice their life for her. This kingdom I feel is one of the most challenging of all because not only does the people of Meereen have tendency to stab you in the back, but the pyramid walls lack the capability to protect the people inside unless there's a dragon to fetch you from above. The more you move higher the lesser chance of survival you get Politics in this kingdom is most challenging since the slaves feel that they want justice on their own hands or turn their former masters into slaves and even with a fair trial they want to be the one protected or else they hiss on you, not very fair isn't it? With the Dothraki, they have the system to follow the strongest, the unsullied decided to follow Daenerys in unison, but in the city of Mereen, the moment that slaves feel you don't do something on their favor, you are good as gone. That is total chaos, so the difficulty level of her reign for me here is her best portfolio of all. Photoshoot I've made a separate blog for the shoot, kindly head there to see it.

Yet, upon staring at it for quite sometime, I feel guilty. I am tempted to keep it and use it on my own but this was their wish to see this dress turn into a royal gown, so I must do what I must. It's the same as I did with Ahri, her main red top to bottom linens were handpicked by loved ones and I admit they have impressive judgement to choosing the right cloth. At first, I hesitated because it wasn't as shown in pictures, but it made me imagine how exquisite it would look like when it's done and this piece would even become an icon in becoming a Queen's dress. While working on the design infront of the main dress, I did everything by hand, it took countless tries and my fingers bled from the needle punctures, but as progress starts to show the satisfaction is incredible. Many times I repeat an area because I needed it to be perfect and so it does. Nothing pleases me more but to do what I love most doing and I could do it forever. I took a break after I finished the front. Turns out it wasn't the plan my partner was expecting, he plans to save the dress shoulders, which I feel is impossible because the dress is off-shoulder after all. So I took a break for a while. I woke up the next day starting the dress top again but failed. This time my partner instructed, I cried because I am unable to get his plans for the sewing, little by little I sewed. On my third try it finally took shape, several adjustments has to be done and a few more needle work to get the correct fitting on the chest part. After I finished his prototype, I tried another from scratch, I used the scraps from the leftovers of the first trial and asked his permission to get some from the white spandex linen. I'm not scared to sew spandex in the sewing machine because I've done it before. Doing my own style from scratch I started shaping the breast area, taking a yellow dress for a reference, then copying that and sewing the bottom part, I fear that I placed the linen for the bottom part wrongly underneath the chest linen but it doesn't matter anyway, everything looked great. Whenever I wear it, the spandex into my figure giving out my natural shape, I am hesitant to get the cape from the recent project since he might want me to shoot it first so I'll let it and I'll wait once shoot it over. A slit on the side looks great but if I push through my project I might need to modify and close it up, I'm thinking about that. It's midnight, I had my nap just this evening but I feel exhausted and sleepy, maybe I'm still tired from all that sewing and planning. When my manager's shift was finished, he saw my work and chose the one I did from scratch. He immediately decided to go for that costume for the shoot instead of the modified version. I feel bad for the dress, but I only cut small portion of it so I can always return it back to its normal state. Anyway, he said that using spandex on the lower portion would really get the shape of my body which would look great and ordered me to complete it with the cape. So, I did complete it and showed him the final look, It was splendid work. Even I agree, it only lacks the front accessory and all it set, our debate that I can do it from scratch finally came to a conclusion that I can do it. Although, this one is a prototype still, we both agree to produce a real quality one that we agreed at first, this one will only be used for the photoshoot. Yes, we usually do different dress for shoot and at cosplay or events, taking note of the real world quality and textures by thoroughly planning and researching on good fabric pieces, sometimes we tend to deviate what is in the reference as it is not applicable in real life but we sure provide a better alternative that can surely impress. I'll be adding this prototype Daenerys dress to the list, if you need a Daenerys to hire, this one is available, but as I said there will be a better one to come. Why we chose this version of Daenerys We've all like Daenerys and we could all agree how magnanimous it would be to see if she does fit mine, I've been told that I resemble her on certain points and at times when I speak, although I hesitate to agree, it would be an honor to dress up the Khalessi of Meereen. Why this dress? It's where we all agree that this dress is simple yet oozing with elegance and the dress shouts the authority of both beauty and magnificence. Her continued success in conquering kingdoms are her greatest portfolio a woman would dream to have, even if she lost Khal Drogo in the past, this is the part where she also gains loyalty from Sir Jorah Mormont and others with her willing to sacrifice their life for her. This kingdom I feel is one of the most challenging of all because not only does the people of Meereen have tendency to stab you in the back, but the pyramid walls lack the capability to protect the people inside unless there's a dragon to fetch you from above. The more you move higher the lesser chance of survival you get Politics in this kingdom is most challenging since the slaves feel that they want justice on their own hands or turn their former masters into slaves and even with a fair trial they want to be the one protected or else they hiss on you, not very fair isn't it? With the Dothraki, they have the system to follow the strongest, the unsullied decided to follow Daenerys in unison, but in the city of Mereen, the moment that slaves feel you don't do something on their favor, you are good as gone. That is total chaos, so the difficulty level of her reign for me here is her best portfolio of all. Photoshoot I've made a separate blog for the shoot, kindly head there to see it. The photo shoot was moved late at the end of the week, it was because our boss had more demands lately and we couldn't even attend maker faire, I wanted to see cool stuff there too but I guess this is how it goes. I've test drive the suit one time and I know there are few missing pieces but that's easy to supply. The weather isn't favorable for a shoot and we get water shortages most of the time making it harder to do preparation besides work. Lately, my stomach's getting more and more upset, it might be stress syndrome again because we moved date a lot but that's how everything goes, we are a team and if without the others help, some missing pieces won't be delivered with quality. It has been really sluggish at cosplay work these past few months, the weather has affected me much and I admit personal life interferes too making my cosplay commitments to move date, however, it doesn't stop for the fact that projects must be finished even if late. I worry a lot but I've made a good progress with speed, since most projects are done in hurry, all I can say is that careful planning is important, strategize which to prioritize that can affect the whole work so that quality is never sacrificed. Adjustments to be noted Wearing corset underneath is great however since textures of the costume are smooth it glides, which displaces location but only because we still lack one accessory to the costume and that it the silver lining on the chest area, it should keep everything tight still and in place, it will have to be fetch soon though once desk work is finished. We'll only add the brown rope for the shoulder and adding some adjustments on the waist and we're done for the photoshoot. However, for the event, manager added a bit of elegance to the front chest and back. Front Myssa of Mereen Khalessi Costume accessory The pleated skirt arrived a bit late, we had ours ordered on overseas, we decided that we get one separate from the costume and that we will need a professional's work for it since pleated skirts are hard to do diy, the color is a bit different but it certainly adds body to the dress. Back view Daenerys Targaryen Myssa of Mereen Khalessi costume accessory For the event proper, we had to adjust the height of the slit to be higher and possibly not show cleavage, the photoshoot has and supposed to be worn that way but manager is concerned of my safety for this reason. New wig, new Daenerys costume, and Jon Snow?! We've done a pre-shoot of my self styled white wig to compare how it would look in comparison for the wig that was really for Daenerys. The wig was bought from a cosplayer too and she was really gracious to offer another costume for meaw, the Jon Snow costume; when meaw tried it on, he said that he might just do Sam instead of Jon Snow. She also offered the costume of Daenerys in blue when she was heading to Mereen, surprisingly fit me as well, although she said that the one who last borrowed it tried to open a seam at the back to fit her so it will still be needed to be closed again. Since I can see that it doesn't need to be closed because it's not visible, we proceeded as to buy it from her as another costume collection. Before the event Tensions rise as the days go near and we were informed that we still need to go to the dry run on August 6th at 6pm. We're kind of surprised bec. we did not know and wasn't in the contract that there'd be a dry run, so we tried to weigh it out if it would be best to stay in a nearby location or still head home since the main event is at morning. We decided that since its impossible to take a commute with that too close of a time, then only a stay would be the best option. My partner, supposedly John Snow or Sam, he couldn't decided which, had a last minute shopping for his boots and my neck accessory at Jackmann Plaza; It is a small improvisation he places on the dress. Oh, and yeah, he chose the photoshoot prototype to be the one to be used for this event, don't ask me why, I've been asking him either, he said it was great enough. He's happy that the moment for him to soon shave his beard will come soon as we had to grow it long for the character. We dined in former Jollibee now KFC munoz, and the interior had certain changes but still, the memories especially when we dined with my workmates here lingers a lot. I wish I could have spent more time with them before we parted ways. I did one last mod on the dress, the open slit for the pleated inner garment. Rehearsal Briefing Solaire Hotel and Casino wearing Korean dress My manager's plan was sort of in disarray and my schedules adjusted like a domino, when Ms. Bianca had set the date for us to attend the rehearsal, we agreed since we thought that it's important to get acquianted of what to do for the event. On our ride, we took 2 grab, but the 2nd grab there were 2 stops, one for juan gadget to pick up a battery dock and battery, then at Solaire. Our Grab drivers were really friendly and helpful, we had a wonderful conversation either, the last grab had the same name as meaw. We were assisted at the tent which was located as extension of the solaire further at the back of the casino, I was astonished to see the space the tent offers and the rows of aircons plus the stage, the beautiful table settings, even the spacious booths, there weren't much to see at this day since all are in dissarray but I could imagine how magnanimous it would be like walking down the aisle of a wedding. Manager talked to Ms. Bianca the best background visual to be used for the event and the song was played on the background with such heightened feeling of majestic excitement and emotion. We were briefed of what we were going to do and Ms. Bianca described how they would make it grand for the Queen, we met with the boss soon after and headed for a hotel. We checked in to a hotel where some bloggers recommend for a budget friendly but with a legend serving delicious pancit although when we ordered it was already sold out huhuhu. The room was spacious treat for us to maneuver around for our costume. HOTEL CHECK-IN We decided to check in to a hotel the day before, relied on blogs review, and tried Mahal Kita Drive Inn and restaurant because of their famous Pancit Canton however when we got it there it was 10pm and the stocks ran out so we randomly ordered food. Well, my overall rating for this hotel is 6/10. The aircon was too loud and you won't be able to sleep but the space is huge, the price is good however for us that really need that snooze to be fresh and looking for tomorrow really needs that silence that we didn't get. THE FIRST DAY TALES OF TIME AT SOLAIRE TENT FOR CANADIAN MANUFACTURING The first day was trial and error, but the place was all set, the place had the look of castle. The sections were labeled in a cloth of medieval crest and carpeted hallway gave a royalty treat. The tables in the dining area have shining silverware candles and buffet with servers surround the tables. The stage had amazing displays with the Iron throne on where I will seat. We were given 2 seats behind the accounting staff at the back. We greeted guests who signed up and we stood at the front door, Sat at the thrones, Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay took dozens of pictures etc. Etc. The King and Queen was served a meal and snacks with crew stub and buffet at lunch time, presentation is good. The tent had a shortcut backstage going inside the solaire main for the cr which was convenient but sometimes dangerous when the gusts of wind from the storm hit the tent, however, the main area of the tent isn't affected with the wind, only the passage way to cr. Chicken, brocolli, sesame seasoning with rice at Solaire Tent resorts and casino for Tales of time Canadian bedding THE FIRST STAGE PERFORMANCE Ms. Bianca had me sit on the Iron throne and Jon Snow at the side. Mr. Boy was our announcer for the buffet time. Although it was only a short screen time, the guests loved when we sat by on some of the exhibit thrones for picture taking. Everyone was careful and wary of actions since there are a lot of International VIPs on business talks and we don't want them distracted. Meaw was approached by one of the alumni boss and what a small world, their families seem to know each other and have been business partners before! He was startled at first and kept whining about how he feels like Jon Snow but I encouraged him with some words and he said they were able to find closure when they spoke in the bathroom. Backstage at Solaire Tent Tales of Time on my Daenerys Targayen Myssa of Mereen costume The first day, my whole muscles ached, this is only the warm-up, because manager had planned to use this as a starting point for a refresher rigorous model body training, talk about the next day! We took a ride home commute of LRT Baclaran station, yes we went home. If we weren't summoned on the rehearsal, it should have been this night that we will use to check-in for the night, but since we already had a night spent already at a hotel, manager decided to still go home. I was surprised our Grab driver pulled us at the foot of Baclaran stairs! There weren't any vendors everywhere that afternoon! Thank God for all those who efforted to have this place clean! The ride took only 1 and 45 minutes but I was dead tired when I got home, I couldn't cook anymore so we handed it down to our trusted 7-11. THE SECOND AND LAST DAY AT TALES OF TIME, SOLAIRE I woke up at 5 am the next day, wore make-up and rode North Station LRT, it was raining hard and we couldn't get a cab after Lrt ride, manager was robbed off taxi summon by the road callers, so we decided to call Grab taxi, thankfully there was one. Last day at the resort, We were late for 30 minutes from the harsh weather and ride to Solaire. Then we were stationed by the door and thrones as usual, but this day we were briefed for the performance that I sit on the throne, raise our hands for the buffet, and listen to the quartet, it was then that we met the quartet and we befriended them. The most enjoyable part was when we were having conversation with Mr. Boy, he showed me a trick with the screw ring moved on its own unscrewing from the screw and I was astonished of such talent! The Quartet had played such beautiful piece from Game of Thrones etc. And they were incredible! While Mr. Boy took rounds to showcase his magic among clients, we had been busy taking pictures with the VIPs. Ms. Bianca opted for an overtime till 6 and manager objected since it will be hard for us to journey with LRT on that rushed time, unless they sponsor Grab, so along with the x-deal and grab he agreed. The bedsheet from Canadian Bedding Manufacturing designed and named Daenerys bedsheet, others are named Drogo and Jaime Wearing Daenerys bedsheet designed as a dress for the Khalessi She had me wear a dress they made called 'Daenerys', had a size issue but my manager adjusted and added the cape for visual fashion sense, I definitely felt like a model backstage. ^_^. Dress looked bulkier in photos because I had the Khalessi dress underneath as instructed. I am so grateful for those that appreciated my work and told me 'cute', especially the international boss who complimented my age. We had lunch Kaldereta but I was too hungry I ate it before taking pic. It was so grand and even saw Sansa at Louis Vutton endorsement, second day was harsh on the location of the C.R as they had to close the area by the pool due to inclement weather, but everytime I had to take a bladder break, I see these brands and it was such a treat. Thanks to the invite of Ms. Bianca and the last Grab treat we were able to go home safely and easily. This one experience checked my Year goals to done, if u remember my year goals, ✔ 1. Travel ✔ 2. Wear something cute ✔ 3. Get a comfy new minimalist sheets and bed sets. Bonus: Be treated as a Khalessi Thank you for making this possible, Ms. Bianca and to Canadian Manufacturing Corp., Solaire for the venue and joys from the Mr. Boy, melodies from Quartet, the Photographers who had captured the memories, all staff. It's a blessing worth a lifetime ^_^ IN LOVING MEMORY OF SIR BOY This blog was made 2019, but only released on 2024 so dates pertaining above was supposed to be that year, I apologize that this blog was published late as I only recovered these corrupted files just of late. Also, the photoshoot blog is on the next blog. Click to see it. continue reading posted by Trixia Salonga . Tuesday, June 18, 2024 . cosplay

I lost my domain and here is what I felt when got it back

Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay “Not a Queen. A Khaleesi” Costume and Fabric process: Following manager's plan I'm starting to take confidence on my work. Last night, although it was late, I've finished the cape for the Khalessi costume. It was not the thick quality though, I was told I should just make it as thin as possible because my comfort is most priority and he doesn't want to have me feel weight because of my clothes. I've only folded and sewn the edges, it does not look as clean as it is in the pictures but it will do. I've to edit the main dress though which I feel guilty of cutting, besides the fact that I have no idea of what to edit and strategies to edit it correctly. The cloth is luxurious, the texture and feel is fit for a queen. I would love to wear it as it is and not edit it at all, I feel really guilty having to cut it, but I have to. We all have this guilt moments when it comes to editing something, the main dress which I need to edit though, its a gift from overseas, when loved ones found out I was going to cosplay the Queen of Meereen, they immediately sent me a dress they think that the texture would be perfect for the cosplay, when I received it, it is as expected, perfect! Yet, upon staring at it for quite sometime, I feel guilty. I am tempted to keep it and use it on my own but this was their wish to see this dress turn into a royal gown, so I must do what I must. It's the same as I did with Ahri, her main red top to bottom linens were handpicked by loved ones and I admit they have impressive judgement to choosing the right cloth. At first, I hesitated because it wasn't as shown in pictures, but it made me imagine how exquisite it would look like when it's done and this piece would even become an icon in becoming a Queen's dress. While working on the design infront of the main dress, I did everything by hand, it took countless tries and my fingers bled from the needle punctures, but as progress starts to show the satisfaction is incredible. Many times I repeat an area because I needed it to be perfect and so it does. Nothing pleases me more but to do what I love most doing and I could do it forever. I took a break after I finished the front. Turns out it wasn't the plan my partner was expecting, he plans to save the dress shoulders, which I feel is impossible because the dress is off-shoulder after all. So I took a break for a while. I woke up the next day starting the dress top again but failed. This time my partner instructed, I cried because I am unable to get his plans for the sewing, little by little I sewed.

THE SECOND AND LAST DAY AT TALES OF TIME, SOLAIRE I woke up at 5 am the next day, wore make-up and rode North Station LRT, it was raining hard and we couldn't get a cab after Lrt ride, manager was robbed off taxi summon by the road callers, so we decided to call Grab taxi, thankfully there was one. Last day at the resort, We were late for 30 minutes from the harsh weather and ride to Solaire. Then we were stationed by the door and thrones as usual, but this day we were briefed for the performance that I sit on the throne, raise our hands for the buffet, and listen to the quartet, it was then that we met the quartet and we befriended them. The most enjoyable part was when we were having conversation with Mr. Boy, he showed me a trick with the screw ring moved on its own unscrewing from the screw and I was astonished of such talent! The Quartet had played such beautiful piece from Game of Thrones etc. And they were incredible! While Mr. Boy took rounds to showcase his magic among clients, we had been busy taking pictures with the VIPs. Ms. Bianca opted for an overtime till 6 and manager objected since it will be hard for us to journey with LRT on that rushed time, unless they sponsor Grab, so along with the x-deal and grab he agreed. The bedsheet from Canadian Bedding Manufacturing designed and named Daenerys bedsheet, others are named Drogo and Jaime Wearing Daenerys bedsheet designed as a dress for the Khalessi She had me wear a dress they made called 'Daenerys', had a size issue but my manager adjusted and added the cape for visual fashion sense, I definitely felt like a model backstage. ^_^. Dress looked bulkier in photos because I had the Khalessi dress underneath as instructed. I am so grateful for those that appreciated my work and told me 'cute', especially the international boss who complimented my age. We had lunch Kaldereta but I was too hungry I ate it before taking pic. It was so grand and even saw Sansa at Louis Vutton endorsement, second day was harsh on the location of the C.R as they had to close the area by the pool due to inclement weather, but everytime I had to take a bladder break, I see these brands and it was such a treat. Thanks to the invite of Ms. Bianca and the last Grab treat we were able to go home safely and easily. This one experience checked my Year goals to done, if u remember my year goals, ✔ 1. Travel ✔ 2. Wear something cute ✔ 3. Get a comfy new minimalist sheets and bed sets. Bonus: Be treated as a Khalessi Thank you for making this possible, Ms. Bianca and to Canadian Manufacturing Corp., Solaire for the venue and joys from the Mr. Boy, melodies from Quartet, the Photographers who had captured the memories, all staff. It's a blessing worth a lifetime ^_^ IN LOVING MEMORY OF SIR BOY This blog was made 2019, but only released on 2024 so dates pertaining above was supposed to be that year, I apologize that this blog was published late as I only recovered these corrupted files just of late. Also, the photoshoot blog is on the next blog. Click to see it. Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay “Not a Queen. A Khaleesi” Costume and Fabric process: Following manager's plan I'm starting to take confidence on my work. Last night, although it was late, I've finished the cape for the Khalessi costume. It was not the thick quality though, I was told I should just make it as thin as possible because my comfort is most priority and he doesn't want to have me feel weight because of my clothes. I've only folded and sewn the edges, it does not look as clean as it is in the pictures but it will do. I've to edit the main dress though which I feel guilty of cutting, besides the fact that I have no idea of what to edit and strategies to edit it correctly. The cloth is luxurious, the texture and feel is fit for a queen. I would love to wear it as it is and not edit it at all, I feel really guilty having to cut it, but I have to. We all have this guilt moments when it comes to editing something, the main dress which I need to edit though, its a gift from overseas, when loved ones found out I was going to cosplay the Queen of Meereen, they immediately sent me a dress they think that the texture would be perfect for the cosplay, when I received it, it is as expected, perfect! Yet, upon staring at it for quite sometime, I feel guilty. I am tempted to keep it and use it on my own but this was their wish to see this dress turn into a royal gown, so I must do what I must. It's the same as I did with Ahri, her main red top to bottom linens were handpicked by loved ones and I admit they have impressive judgement to choosing the right cloth. At first, I hesitated because it wasn't as shown in pictures, but it made me imagine how exquisite it would look like when it's done and this piece would even become an icon in becoming a Queen's dress. While working on the design infront of the main dress, I did everything by hand, it took countless tries and my fingers bled from the needle punctures, but as progress starts to show the satisfaction is incredible. Many times I repeat an area because I needed it to be perfect and so it does. Nothing pleases me more but to do what I love most doing and I could do it forever. I took a break after I finished the front. Turns out it wasn't the plan my partner was expecting, he plans to save the dress shoulders, which I feel is impossible because the dress is off-shoulder after all. So I took a break for a while. I woke up the next day starting the dress top again but failed. This time my partner instructed, I cried because I am unable to get his plans for the sewing, little by little I sewed. On my third try it finally took shape, several adjustments has to be done and a few more needle work to get the correct fitting on the chest part. After I finished his prototype, I tried another from scratch, I used the scraps from the leftovers of the first trial and asked his permission to get some from the white spandex linen. I'm not scared to sew spandex in the sewing machine because I've done it before. Doing my own style from scratch I started shaping the breast area, taking a yellow dress for a reference, then copying that and sewing the bottom part, I fear that I placed the linen for the bottom part wrongly underneath the chest linen but it doesn't matter anyway, everything looked great. Whenever I wear it, the spandex into my figure giving out my natural shape, I am hesitant to get the cape from the recent project since he might want me to shoot it first so I'll let it and I'll wait once shoot it over. A slit on the side looks great but if I push through my project I might need to modify and close it up, I'm thinking about that. It's midnight, I had my nap just this evening but I feel exhausted and sleepy, maybe I'm still tired from all that sewing and planning. When my manager's shift was finished, he saw my work and chose the one I did from scratch. He immediately decided to go for that costume for the shoot instead of the modified version. I feel bad for the dress, but I only cut small portion of it so I can always return it back to its normal state. Anyway, he said that using spandex on the lower portion would really get the shape of my body which would look great and ordered me to complete it with the cape. So, I did complete it and showed him the final look, It was splendid work. Even I agree, it only lacks the front accessory and all it set, our debate that I can do it from scratch finally came to a conclusion that I can do it. Although, this one is a prototype still, we both agree to produce a real quality one that we agreed at first, this one will only be used for the photoshoot. Yes, we usually do different dress for shoot and at cosplay or events, taking note of the real world quality and textures by thoroughly planning and researching on good fabric pieces, sometimes we tend to deviate what is in the reference as it is not applicable in real life but we sure provide a better alternative that can surely impress. I'll be adding this prototype Daenerys dress to the list, if you need a Daenerys to hire, this one is available, but as I said there will be a better one to come. Why we chose this version of Daenerys We've all like Daenerys and we could all agree how magnanimous it would be to see if she does fit mine, I've been told that I resemble her on certain points and at times when I speak, although I hesitate to agree, it would be an honor to dress up the Khalessi of Meereen. Why this dress? It's where we all agree that this dress is simple yet oozing with elegance and the dress shouts the authority of both beauty and magnificence. Her continued success in conquering kingdoms are her greatest portfolio a woman would dream to have, even if she lost Khal Drogo in the past, this is the part where she also gains loyalty from Sir Jorah Mormont and others with her willing to sacrifice their life for her. This kingdom I feel is one of the most challenging of all because not only does the people of Meereen have tendency to stab you in the back, but the pyramid walls lack the capability to protect the people inside unless there's a dragon to fetch you from above. The more you move higher the lesser chance of survival you get Politics in this kingdom is most challenging since the slaves feel that they want justice on their own hands or turn their former masters into slaves and even with a fair trial they want to be the one protected or else they hiss on you, not very fair isn't it? With the Dothraki, they have the system to follow the strongest, the unsullied decided to follow Daenerys in unison, but in the city of Mereen, the moment that slaves feel you don't do something on their favor, you are good as gone. That is total chaos, so the difficulty level of her reign for me here is her best portfolio of all. Photoshoot I've made a separate blog for the shoot, kindly head there to see it. The photo shoot was moved late at the end of the week, it was because our boss had more demands lately and we couldn't even attend maker faire, I wanted to see cool stuff there too but I guess this is how it goes. I've test drive the suit one time and I know there are few missing pieces but that's easy to supply. The weather isn't favorable for a shoot and we get water shortages most of the time making it harder to do preparation besides work. Lately, my stomach's getting more and more upset, it might be stress syndrome again because we moved date a lot but that's how everything goes, we are a team and if without the others help, some missing pieces won't be delivered with quality. It has been really sluggish at cosplay work these past few months, the weather has affected me much and I admit personal life interferes too making my cosplay commitments to move date, however, it doesn't stop for the fact that projects must be finished even if late. I worry a lot but I've made a good progress with speed, since most projects are done in hurry, all I can say is that careful planning is important, strategize which to prioritize that can affect the whole work so that quality is never sacrificed. Adjustments to be noted Wearing corset underneath is great however since textures of the costume are smooth it glides, which displaces location but only because we still lack one accessory to the costume and that it the silver lining on the chest area, it should keep everything tight still and in place, it will have to be fetch soon though once desk work is finished. We'll only add the brown rope for the shoulder and adding some adjustments on the waist and we're done for the photoshoot. However, for the event, manager added a bit of elegance to the front chest and back. Front Myssa of Mereen Khalessi Costume accessory The pleated skirt arrived a bit late, we had ours ordered on overseas, we decided that we get one separate from the costume and that we will need a professional's work for it since pleated skirts are hard to do diy, the color is a bit different but it certainly adds body to the dress. Back view Daenerys Targaryen Myssa of Mereen Khalessi costume accessory For the event proper, we had to adjust the height of the slit to be higher and possibly not show cleavage, the photoshoot has and supposed to be worn that way but manager is concerned of my safety for this reason. New wig, new Daenerys costume, and Jon Snow?! We've done a pre-shoot of my self styled white wig to compare how it would look in comparison for the wig that was really for Daenerys. The wig was bought from a cosplayer too and she was really gracious to offer another costume for meaw, the Jon Snow costume; when meaw tried it on, he said that he might just do Sam instead of Jon Snow. She also offered the costume of Daenerys in blue when she was heading to Mereen, surprisingly fit me as well, although she said that the one who last borrowed it tried to open a seam at the back to fit her so it will still be needed to be closed again. Since I can see that it doesn't need to be closed because it's not visible, we proceeded as to buy it from her as another costume collection. Before the event Tensions rise as the days go near and we were informed that we still need to go to the dry run on August 6th at 6pm. We're kind of surprised bec. we did not know and wasn't in the contract that there'd be a dry run, so we tried to weigh it out if it would be best to stay in a nearby location or still head home since the main event is at morning. We decided that since its impossible to take a commute with that too close of a time, then only a stay would be the best option. My partner, supposedly John Snow or Sam, he couldn't decided which, had a last minute shopping for his boots and my neck accessory at Jackmann Plaza; It is a small improvisation he places on the dress. Oh, and yeah, he chose the photoshoot prototype to be the one to be used for this event, don't ask me why, I've been asking him either, he said it was great enough. He's happy that the moment for him to soon shave his beard will come soon as we had to grow it long for the character. We dined in former Jollibee now KFC munoz, and the interior had certain changes but still, the memories especially when we dined with my workmates here lingers a lot. I wish I could have spent more time with them before we parted ways. I did one last mod on the dress, the open slit for the pleated inner garment. Rehearsal Briefing Solaire Hotel and Casino wearing Korean dress My manager's plan was sort of in disarray and my schedules adjusted like a domino, when Ms. Bianca had set the date for us to attend the rehearsal, we agreed since we thought that it's important to get acquianted of what to do for the event. On our ride, we took 2 grab, but the 2nd grab there were 2 stops, one for juan gadget to pick up a battery dock and battery, then at Solaire. Our Grab drivers were really friendly and helpful, we had a wonderful conversation either, the last grab had the same name as meaw. We were assisted at the tent which was located as extension of the solaire further at the back of the casino, I was astonished to see the space the tent offers and the rows of aircons plus the stage, the beautiful table settings, even the spacious booths, there weren't much to see at this day since all are in dissarray but I could imagine how magnanimous it would be like walking down the aisle of a wedding. Manager talked to Ms. Bianca the best background visual to be used for the event and the song was played on the background with such heightened feeling of majestic excitement and emotion. We were briefed of what we were going to do and Ms. Bianca described how they would make it grand for the Queen, we met with the boss soon after and headed for a hotel. We checked in to a hotel where some bloggers recommend for a budget friendly but with a legend serving delicious pancit although when we ordered it was already sold out huhuhu. The room was spacious treat for us to maneuver around for our costume. HOTEL CHECK-IN We decided to check in to a hotel the day before, relied on blogs review, and tried Mahal Kita Drive Inn and restaurant because of their famous Pancit Canton however when we got it there it was 10pm and the stocks ran out so we randomly ordered food. Well, my overall rating for this hotel is 6/10. The aircon was too loud and you won't be able to sleep but the space is huge, the price is good however for us that really need that snooze to be fresh and looking for tomorrow really needs that silence that we didn't get. THE FIRST DAY TALES OF TIME AT SOLAIRE TENT FOR CANADIAN MANUFACTURING The first day was trial and error, but the place was all set, the place had the look of castle. The sections were labeled in a cloth of medieval crest and carpeted hallway gave a royalty treat. The tables in the dining area have shining silverware candles and buffet with servers surround the tables. The stage had amazing displays with the Iron throne on where I will seat. We were given 2 seats behind the accounting staff at the back. We greeted guests who signed up and we stood at the front door, Sat at the thrones, Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay took dozens of pictures etc. Etc. The King and Queen was served a meal and snacks with crew stub and buffet at lunch time, presentation is good. The tent had a shortcut backstage going inside the solaire main for the cr which was convenient but sometimes dangerous when the gusts of wind from the storm hit the tent, however, the main area of the tent isn't affected with the wind, only the passage way to cr. Chicken, brocolli, sesame seasoning with rice at Solaire Tent resorts and casino for Tales of time Canadian bedding THE FIRST STAGE PERFORMANCE Ms. Bianca had me sit on the Iron throne and Jon Snow at the side. Mr. Boy was our announcer for the buffet time. Although it was only a short screen time, the guests loved when we sat by on some of the exhibit thrones for picture taking. Everyone was careful and wary of actions since there are a lot of International VIPs on business talks and we don't want them distracted. Meaw was approached by one of the alumni boss and what a small world, their families seem to know each other and have been business partners before! He was startled at first and kept whining about how he feels like Jon Snow but I encouraged him with some words and he said they were able to find closure when they spoke in the bathroom. Backstage at Solaire Tent Tales of Time on my Daenerys Targayen Myssa of Mereen costume The first day, my whole muscles ached, this is only the warm-up, because manager had planned to use this as a starting point for a refresher rigorous model body training, talk about the next day! We took a ride home commute of LRT Baclaran station, yes we went home. If we weren't summoned on the rehearsal, it should have been this night that we will use to check-in for the night, but since we already had a night spent already at a hotel, manager decided to still go home. I was surprised our Grab driver pulled us at the foot of Baclaran stairs! There weren't any vendors everywhere that afternoon! Thank God for all those who efforted to have this place clean! The ride took only 1 and 45 minutes but I was dead tired when I got home, I couldn't cook anymore so we handed it down to our trusted 7-11. THE SECOND AND LAST DAY AT TALES OF TIME, SOLAIRE I woke up at 5 am the next day, wore make-up and rode North Station LRT, it was raining hard and we couldn't get a cab after Lrt ride, manager was robbed off taxi summon by the road callers, so we decided to call Grab taxi, thankfully there was one.

While Mr. Boy took rounds to showcase his magic among clients, we had been busy taking pictures with the VIPs. Ms. Bianca opted for an overtime till 6 and manager objected since it will be hard for us to journey with LRT on that rushed time, unless they sponsor Grab, so along with the x-deal and grab he agreed.

We were assisted at the tent which was located as extension of the solaire further at the back of the casino, I was astonished to see the space the tent offers and the rows of aircons plus the stage, the beautiful table settings, even the spacious booths, there weren't much to see at this day since all are in dissarray but I could imagine how magnanimous it would be like walking down the aisle of a wedding. Manager talked to Ms. Bianca the best background visual to be used for the event and the song was played on the background with such heightened feeling of majestic excitement and emotion. We were briefed of what we were going to do and Ms. Bianca described how they would make it grand for the Queen, we met with the boss soon after and headed for a hotel. We checked in to a hotel where some bloggers recommend for a budget friendly but with a legend serving delicious pancit although when we ordered it was already sold out huhuhu. The room was spacious treat for us to maneuver around for our costume. HOTEL CHECK-IN We decided to check in to a hotel the day before, relied on blogs review, and tried Mahal Kita Drive Inn and restaurant because of their famous Pancit Canton however when we got it there it was 10pm and the stocks ran out so we randomly ordered food. Well, my overall rating for this hotel is 6/10. The aircon was too loud and you won't be able to sleep but the space is huge, the price is good however for us that really need that snooze to be fresh and looking for tomorrow really needs that silence that we didn't get. THE FIRST DAY TALES OF TIME AT SOLAIRE TENT FOR CANADIAN MANUFACTURING The first day was trial and error, but the place was all set, the place had the look of castle. The sections were labeled in a cloth of medieval crest and carpeted hallway gave a royalty treat. The tables in the dining area have shining silverware candles and buffet with servers surround the tables. The stage had amazing displays with the Iron throne on where I will seat. We were given 2 seats behind the accounting staff at the back. We greeted guests who signed up and we stood at the front door, Sat at the thrones, Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay took dozens of pictures etc. Etc. The King and Queen was served a meal and snacks with crew stub and buffet at lunch time, presentation is good. The tent had a shortcut backstage going inside the solaire main for the cr which was convenient but sometimes dangerous when the gusts of wind from the storm hit the tent, however, the main area of the tent isn't affected with the wind, only the passage way to cr. Chicken, brocolli, sesame seasoning with rice at Solaire Tent resorts and casino for Tales of time Canadian bedding THE FIRST STAGE PERFORMANCE Ms. Bianca had me sit on the Iron throne and Jon Snow at the side. Mr. Boy was our announcer for the buffet time. Although it was only a short screen time, the guests loved when we sat by on some of the exhibit thrones for picture taking. Everyone was careful and wary of actions since there are a lot of International VIPs on business talks and we don't want them distracted. Meaw was approached by one of the alumni boss and what a small world, their families seem to know each other and have been business partners before! He was startled at first and kept whining about how he feels like Jon Snow but I encouraged him with some words and he said they were able to find closure when they spoke in the bathroom. Backstage at Solaire Tent Tales of Time on my Daenerys Targayen Myssa of Mereen costume The first day, my whole muscles ached, this is only the warm-up, because manager had planned to use this as a starting point for a refresher rigorous model body training, talk about the next day! We took a ride home commute of LRT Baclaran station, yes we went home. If we weren't summoned on the rehearsal, it should have been this night that we will use to check-in for the night, but since we already had a night spent already at a hotel, manager decided to still go home. I was surprised our Grab driver pulled us at the foot of Baclaran stairs! There weren't any vendors everywhere that afternoon! Thank God for all those who efforted to have this place clean! The ride took only 1 and 45 minutes but I was dead tired when I got home, I couldn't cook anymore so we handed it down to our trusted 7-11. THE SECOND AND LAST DAY AT TALES OF TIME, SOLAIRE I woke up at 5 am the next day, wore make-up and rode North Station LRT, it was raining hard and we couldn't get a cab after Lrt ride, manager was robbed off taxi summon by the road callers, so we decided to call Grab taxi, thankfully there was one. Last day at the resort, We were late for 30 minutes from the harsh weather and ride to Solaire. Then we were stationed by the door and thrones as usual, but this day we were briefed for the performance that I sit on the throne, raise our hands for the buffet, and listen to the quartet, it was then that we met the quartet and we befriended them. The most enjoyable part was when we were having conversation with Mr. Boy, he showed me a trick with the screw ring moved on its own unscrewing from the screw and I was astonished of such talent! The Quartet had played such beautiful piece from Game of Thrones etc. And they were incredible! While Mr. Boy took rounds to showcase his magic among clients, we had been busy taking pictures with the VIPs. Ms. Bianca opted for an overtime till 6 and manager objected since it will be hard for us to journey with LRT on that rushed time, unless they sponsor Grab, so along with the x-deal and grab he agreed. The bedsheet from Canadian Bedding Manufacturing designed and named Daenerys bedsheet, others are named Drogo and Jaime Wearing Daenerys bedsheet designed as a dress for the Khalessi She had me wear a dress they made called 'Daenerys', had a size issue but my manager adjusted and added the cape for visual fashion sense, I definitely felt like a model backstage. ^_^. Dress looked bulkier in photos because I had the Khalessi dress underneath as instructed. I am so grateful for those that appreciated my work and told me 'cute', especially the international boss who complimented my age. We had lunch Kaldereta but I was too hungry I ate it before taking pic. It was so grand and even saw Sansa at Louis Vutton endorsement, second day was harsh on the location of the C.R as they had to close the area by the pool due to inclement weather, but everytime I had to take a bladder break, I see these brands and it was such a treat. Thanks to the invite of Ms. Bianca and the last Grab treat we were able to go home safely and easily. This one experience checked my Year goals to done, if u remember my year goals, ✔ 1. Travel ✔ 2. Wear something cute ✔ 3. Get a comfy new minimalist sheets and bed sets. Bonus: Be treated as a Khalessi Thank you for making this possible, Ms. Bianca and to Canadian Manufacturing Corp., Solaire for the venue and joys from the Mr. Boy, melodies from Quartet, the Photographers who had captured the memories, all staff. It's a blessing worth a lifetime ^_^ IN LOVING MEMORY OF SIR BOY This blog was made 2019, but only released on 2024 so dates pertaining above was supposed to be that year, I apologize that this blog was published late as I only recovered these corrupted files just of late. Also, the photoshoot blog is on the next blog. Click to see it. Myssa of Mereen Khalessi cosplay “Not a Queen. A Khaleesi” Costume and Fabric process: Following manager's plan I'm starting to take confidence on my work. Last night, although it was late, I've finished the cape for the Khalessi costume. It was not the thick quality though, I was told I should just make it as thin as possible because my comfort is most priority and he doesn't want to have me feel weight because of my clothes. I've only folded and sewn the edges, it does not look as clean as it is in the pictures but it will do. I've to edit the main dress though which I feel guilty of cutting, besides the fact that I have no idea of what to edit and strategies to edit it correctly. The cloth is luxurious, the texture and feel is fit for a queen. I would love to wear it as it is and not edit it at all, I feel really guilty having to cut it, but I have to. We all have this guilt moments when it comes to editing something, the main dress which I need to edit though, its a gift from overseas, when loved ones found out I was going to cosplay the Queen of Meereen, they immediately sent me a dress they think that the texture would be perfect for the cosplay, when I received it, it is as expected, perfect! Yet, upon staring at it for quite sometime, I feel guilty. I am tempted to keep it and use it on my own but this was their wish to see this dress turn into a royal gown, so I must do what I must. It's the same as I did with Ahri, her main red top to bottom linens were handpicked by loved ones and I admit they have impressive judgement to choosing the right cloth. At first, I hesitated because it wasn't as shown in pictures, but it made me imagine how exquisite it would look like when it's done and this piece would even become an icon in becoming a Queen's dress. While working on the design infront of the main dress, I did everything by hand, it took countless tries and my fingers bled from the needle punctures, but as progress starts to show the satisfaction is incredible. Many times I repeat an area because I needed it to be perfect and so it does. Nothing pleases me more but to do what I love most doing and I could do it forever. I took a break after I finished the front. Turns out it wasn't the plan my partner was expecting, he plans to save the dress shoulders, which I feel is impossible because the dress is off-shoulder after all. So I took a break for a while. I woke up the next day starting the dress top again but failed. This time my partner instructed, I cried because I am unable to get his plans for the sewing, little by little I sewed. On my third try it finally took shape, several adjustments has to be done and a few more needle work to get the correct fitting on the chest part. After I finished his prototype, I tried another from scratch, I used the scraps from the leftovers of the first trial and asked his permission to get some from the white spandex linen. I'm not scared to sew spandex in the sewing machine because I've done it before. Doing my own style from scratch I started shaping the breast area, taking a yellow dress for a reference, then copying that and sewing the bottom part, I fear that I placed the linen for the bottom part wrongly underneath the chest linen but it doesn't matter anyway, everything looked great. Whenever I wear it, the spandex into my figure giving out my natural shape, I am hesitant to get the cape from the recent project since he might want me to shoot it first so I'll let it and I'll wait once shoot it over. A slit on the side looks great but if I push through my project I might need to modify and close it up, I'm thinking about that. It's midnight, I had my nap just this evening but I feel exhausted and sleepy, maybe I'm still tired from all that sewing and planning. When my manager's shift was finished, he saw my work and chose the one I did from scratch. He immediately decided to go for that costume for the shoot instead of the modified version. I feel bad for the dress, but I only cut small portion of it so I can always return it back to its normal state. Anyway, he said that using spandex on the lower portion would really get the shape of my body which would look great and ordered me to complete it with the cape. So, I did complete it and showed him the final look, It was splendid work. Even I agree, it only lacks the front accessory and all it set, our debate that I can do it from scratch finally came to a conclusion that I can do it. Although, this one is a prototype still, we both agree to produce a real quality one that we agreed at first, this one will only be used for the photoshoot. Yes, we usually do different dress for shoot and at cosplay or events, taking note of the real world quality and textures by thoroughly planning and researching on good fabric pieces, sometimes we tend to deviate what is in the reference as it is not applicable in real life but we sure provide a better alternative that can surely impress. I'll be adding this prototype Daenerys dress to the list, if you need a Daenerys to hire, this one is available, but as I said there will be a better one to come. Why we chose this version of Daenerys We've all like Daenerys and we could all agree how magnanimous it would be to see if she does fit mine, I've been told that I resemble her on certain points and at times when I speak, although I hesitate to agree, it would be an honor to dress up the Khalessi of Meereen. Why this dress? It's where we all agree that this dress is simple yet oozing with elegance and the dress shouts the authority of both beauty and magnificence. Her continued success in conquering kingdoms are her greatest portfolio a woman would dream to have, even if she lost Khal Drogo in the past, this is the part where she also gains loyalty from Sir Jorah Mormont and others with her willing to sacrifice their life for her. This kingdom I feel is one of the most challenging of all because not only does the people of Meereen have tendency to stab you in the back, but the pyramid walls lack the capability to protect the people inside unless there's a dragon to fetch you from above. The more you move higher the lesser chance of survival you get Politics in this kingdom is most challenging since the slaves feel that they want justice on their own hands or turn their former masters into slaves and even with a fair trial they want to be the one protected or else they hiss on you, not very fair isn't it? With the Dothraki, they have the system to follow the strongest, the unsullied decided to follow Daenerys in unison, but in the city of Mereen, the moment that slaves feel you don't do something on their favor, you are good as gone. That is total chaos, so the difficulty level of her reign for me here is her best portfolio of all. Photoshoot I've made a separate blog for the shoot, kindly head there to see it. The photo shoot was moved late at the end of the week, it was because our boss had more demands lately and we couldn't even attend maker faire, I wanted to see cool stuff there too but I guess this is how it goes. I've test drive the suit one time and I know there are few missing pieces but that's easy to supply. The weather isn't favorable for a shoot and we get water shortages most of the time making it harder to do preparation besides work. Lately, my stomach's getting more and more upset, it might be stress syndrome again because we moved date a lot but that's how everything goes, we are a team and if without the others help, some missing pieces won't be delivered with quality. It has been really sluggish at cosplay work these past few months, the weather has affected me much and I admit personal life interferes too making my cosplay commitments to move date, however, it doesn't stop for the fact that projects must be finished even if late. I worry a lot but I've made a good progress with speed, since most projects are done in hurry, all I can say is that careful planning is important, strategize which to prioritize that can affect the whole work so that quality is never sacrificed. Adjustments to be noted Wearing corset underneath is great however since textures of the costume are smooth it glides, which displaces location but only because we still lack one accessory to the costume and that it the silver lining on the chest area, it should keep everything tight still and in place, it will have to be fetch soon though once desk work is finished. We'll only add the brown rope for the shoulder and adding some adjustments on the waist and we're done for the photoshoot. However, for the event, manager added a bit of elegance to the front chest and back. Front Myssa of Mereen Khalessi Costume accessory The pleated skirt arrived a bit late, we had ours ordered on overseas, we decided that we get one separate from the costume and that we will need a professional's work for it since pleated skirts are hard to do diy, the color is a bit different but it certainly adds body to the dress. Back view Daenerys Targaryen Myssa of Mereen Khalessi costume accessory For the event proper, we had to adjust the height of the slit to be higher and possibly not show cleavage, the photoshoot has and supposed to be worn that way but manager is concerned of my safety for this reason. New wig, new Daenerys costume, and Jon Snow?! We've done a pre-shoot of my self styled white wig to compare how it would look in comparison for the wig that was really for Daenerys. The wig was bought from a cosplayer too and she was really gracious to offer another costume for meaw, the Jon Snow costume; when meaw tried it on, he said that he might just do Sam instead of Jon Snow. She also offered the costume of Daenerys in blue when she was heading to Mereen, surprisingly fit me as well, although she said that the one who last borrowed it tried to open a seam at the back to fit her so it will still be needed to be closed again. Since I can see that it doesn't need to be closed because it's not visible, we proceeded as to buy it from her as another costume collection. Before the event Tensions rise as the days go near and we were informed that we still need to go to the dry run on August 6th at 6pm. We're kind of surprised bec. we did not know and wasn't in the contract that there'd be a dry run, so we tried to weigh it out if it would be best to stay in a nearby location or still head home since the main event is at morning. We decided that since its impossible to take a commute with that too close of a time, then only a stay would be the best option. My partner, supposedly John Snow or Sam, he couldn't decided which, had a last minute shopping for his boots and my neck accessory at Jackmann Plaza; It is a small improvisation he places on the dress. Oh, and yeah, he chose the photoshoot prototype to be the one to be used for this event, don't ask me why, I've been asking him either, he said it was great enough. He's happy that the moment for him to soon shave his beard will come soon as we had to grow it long for the character. We dined in former Jollibee now KFC munoz, and the interior had certain changes but still, the memories especially when we dined with my workmates here lingers a lot. I wish I could have spent more time with them before we parted ways. I did one last mod on the dress, the open slit for the pleated inner garment. Rehearsal Briefing Solaire Hotel and Casino wearing Korean dress My manager's plan was sort of in disarray and my schedules adjusted like a domino, when Ms. Bianca had set the date for us to attend the rehearsal, we agreed since we thought that it's important to get acquianted of what to do for the event. On our ride, we took 2 grab, but the 2nd grab there were 2 stops, one for juan gadget to pick up a battery dock and battery, then at Solaire. Our Grab drivers were really friendly and helpful, we had a wonderful conversation either, the last grab had the same name as meaw. We were assisted at the tent which was located as extension of the solaire further at the back of the casino, I was astonished to see the space the tent offers and the rows of aircons plus the stage, the beautiful table settings, even the spacious booths, there weren't much to see at this day since all are in dissarray but I could imagine how magnanimous it would be like walking down the aisle of a wedding. Manager talked to Ms. Bianca the best background visual to be used for the event and the song was played on the background with such heightened feeling of majestic excitement and emotion. We were briefed of what we were going to do and Ms. Bianca described how they would make it grand for the Queen, we met with the boss soon after and headed for a hotel. We checked in to a hotel where some bloggers recommend for a budget friendly but with a legend serving delicious pancit although when we ordered it was already sold out huhuhu.

HOTEL CHECK-IN We decided to check in to a hotel the day before, relied on blogs review, and tried Mahal Kita Drive Inn and restaurant because of their famous Pancit Canton however when we got it there it was 10pm and the stocks ran out so we randomly ordered food. Well, my overall rating for this hotel is 6/10. The aircon was too loud and you won't be able to sleep but the space is huge, the price is good however for us that really need that snooze to be fresh and looking for tomorrow really needs that silence that we didn't get.

Last time I hosted my set-up kept me comfortable. I'm starting my minimalistic eco-life and following Condo's rule with clothes. So far, I've added this to my minimalistic investment looks that sparks joy! I never knew I had this piece. The shorts are Freyed Hem that was given from meaw's collection and the leather cotton and polyester material was unforeseeable attribute of comfort and perfect for a weekend casual occasion. My top is a spaghetti strap cotton top must be the type of jersey fabric, it holds a certain warmth but since it is open neck and arms, it comfortable at summer. The top is longer than what is pictured here but I styled it by tucking it in. The V-necked shaped top adds flattery to my small chest giving the illusion of bigger bust. The freyed hem shorts at first sight looked like it undone from sewing machine, but it's a style for a simple plain colored leather that shouts a statement for street fashion. My two toned hair can be made to look similar to Anime character, Nezuko, a cute vampire. The sides of the leather shorts has a red polyester fabric label which I thought should be removed but it is also part of the style. My floral foot stockings keeps me warm from the chilly tile floor of the suite, it has I've kept my makeup simple and just applied a droopy eyeliner for that soft look with brick color lipstick. Next time, I'm planning to have my closet purged again and I will have my preloved items on sale at facebook, I will be needing a huge space since projects keep coming up, and I'll need more space. Stay tuned when I post and if there's anything that you might like, just send me a message. Last time I hosted my set-up kept me comfortable.

So I can't really give you a review of this kdrama yet because I haven't finished watching it. But I can relate with you, if in 2 Years you still can't get over Hotel Del Luna's Horror Fantasy Korean dosage until now... and you want to really indulge in the Nightmare before Christmas sort-of -vibe. I came to search for something that may be somewhat similar to it... I stumbled on the most popular shows list, The Witch' Diner. Not that its's obvious I was half hungry and wanting to feel more chill in this already chilly season... but when my partner is currently on slumbers I can't continue watching Paranormal caught on camera because we want to watch them together. So, to compensate that Horror thirst, I went to my all-time favorite Korean Drama List and finally I found something that can help with my longing for a Hotel Del Luna -like series. Korean are known for their drama series and I love it especially the Mr. Queen series but I love it so much more when they have a dark fantasy, horror type of series I always crave about. Whats about 'The Witch's Diner' I've only gotten a sneak peek of the opening and has started typing so its a bit short but it tells a story about a somewhat the 'make your wish come true' witch's cafe lair in modern times, but the first scene setting has rustic feel to it yet clothes are modern. She would make food as according to her clients' and the opening client was offered a Foie Gras signifying someones desires. In this case, the man wanted to win the Lottery after failed business. The witch would look for a payment in return and she chose to have his eyes. So when the man went home and the numbers to the Lottery did come up, he rushed go get it but at the moment he stepped inside the car, his eyesight blurred. That was the opening scene. And I got hooked up so I will continue watching it more. As I said, I can't very well say anything yet about this series as I only started. Also, if you guys are looking for series like this to watch let me know in the comments and I'll try recommending more. If you watched it, tell me if you liked it or has it ruined your longing for a dark fantasy kdrama? Till next time!

The shorts are Freyed Hem that was given from meaw's collection and the leather cotton and polyester material was unforeseeable attribute of comfort and perfect for a weekend casual occasion. My top is a spaghetti strap cotton top must be the type of jersey fabric, it holds a certain warmth but since it is open neck and arms, it comfortable at summer. The top is longer than what is pictured here but I styled it by tucking it in. The V-necked shaped top adds flattery to my small chest giving the illusion of bigger bust. The freyed hem shorts at first sight looked like it undone from sewing machine, but it's a style for a simple plain colored leather that shouts a statement for street fashion. My two toned hair can be made to look similar to Anime character, Nezuko, a cute vampire. The sides of the leather shorts has a red polyester fabric label which I thought should be removed but it is also part of the style. My floral foot stockings keeps me warm from the chilly tile floor of the suite, it has I've kept my makeup simple and just applied a droopy eyeliner for that soft look with brick color lipstick. Next time, I'm planning to have my closet purged again and I will have my preloved items on sale at facebook, I will be needing a huge space since projects keep coming up, and I'll need more space. Stay tuned when I post and if there's anything that you might like, just send me a message. Last time I hosted my set-up kept me comfortable.
