My friend Dennis (Shoti) and I decided to have our own business. We created an online shop called SHUFFLE SHOP.

We even have the Tuxedo Team's famous Tuxessories with their picture autographs! SHUFFLE has an array of items that are out of the ordinary! Making available to Davao City and to anywhere in the Philippines! SHUFFLE caters to budding cosplayers Nationwide, providing quality wigs and accesories. But SHUFFLE opens its doors to all customers (or Shufflers, as we would like to call them)! Feel free to browse and shop. Don't be afraid to look around because inside SHUFFLE, nothing is too extraordinary!
Some of the items sold are GREAT as GIFTS! Buy one for your friend, parent, sibling, loved one, ANYONE!
Our wigs are also in partnership with YUNIKU SHOP. This shop sells a great deal of costumes,contact lenses, boots and accessories that are in good quality. They give off great and reasonable prices too!!! If you have any requests like the costumes and the like, they will respond to you as soon as they can!

Advertising much?~ ahahaahaha I think the business side of me suddenly woke up.. hahahaha
Anyways, Shoti and I also made a facebook page and we called our team 4TheLove [4DL].
4TheLove, a budding cosplay team from Davao City. We love cosplay and we do occasional photo shoots. We do cosplay and photography for the love of it.
We hope to this love of ours to others as well, through the works we have done and will continue to do.
We do it for fun. We do it because of our passion. We do it for the love.
Last Oct 6 and 7, 2010, My friend Drus and I were invited by Mindanao Kokousai Daigaku and Anima-Kyoukai (AMK)to conduct an anime-manga workshop for their students on their Bon Odori Festival. This was the third time that we had this workshop and we feel happy and definitely in deep gratitude that they still offered us to have this workshop for them.We can’t say that we’re tops experts in making anime or manga but we do have some ideas about it since it’s been our passion and hobby since we were in the 3rd grade. We’re glad that we are given the chance to share what we know and what we had experienced to those who are also interested in this kind of art. We give all our thanks to those who have supported, helped and attended our workshop.
We did change some of the topics so that it won’t be like the ones that we had discussed in the past 2 years. The basics are still there and they’re also being taught to the students.
Here are some of the wokshop pics that our companions, Kuya Noel and my yhub took.
DAY 1
That's me starting the workshop since my partner, Drus is running late..=3= and ooh~ I'm cosplaying a bit~ with just a wig actually~ I wanted to try on my red wig~ and tried to do a pathetic attempt to convince everyone that I was an anime character who came into life.....FAILED!!!

Yay!!! Drus came!!! Thank goodness~ I was starting to loose my voice that time~ TT^TT

Our trusted "manong", friend and wise helper; Kuya Noel. Horray! for his effort in helping us with the technicalities and stuffs~ ^ 3^/

Oh! guys!!! I almost forgot!!! Please check out the Art team called ARTMAGE DESIGNS.They can design almost anything:anime,chibi-anime,group art commission,fan art, mini comics, bookmarks, ID tags, Bag tags and tshirts.
and on 2011, I would be joining this group for the possible COMIKET event here in Davao City. I'm not sure about this but me and my companions are getting ready with our mangas and artworks.
This picture is just fanmade for us to be reminded on the event and there's our mascot!!! I designed her but she's still half cooked. T ^T I need to find time to color this one~ aruuuu =3=
Finally a chance to do crossplaying again. I kinda missed it actually~ but here it is!! CHANSU!!!!
During Cosmania’s Torch here in Davao , I cosplayed as Noctis in FFXIII Versus. I was so happy that could finally cosplay one of my favourite characters most especially at the moment that I received the swordthat my friend Kevin made. He really did an Awesome job making the sword. It’s almost looks like a replica of the real one. Congratulations for a job exceedingly well done and Thank you so much also Kevin.
Here are some shots that Dennis "Shoti" Li took during our mini photoshoot out the event venue.
This picture won 2nd place in Cosmania's Cosplay Snapshot Photobook in Manila. Congratulations to my bestfriend Shoti!!! awoooot!!!
There were a lot of awesome cosplays in the event. Great costumes! Great projection! Great inovations! Great creativity! I saw a lot actually~ I just can't find some good quality pics for now but here are some of them~

I also entered this cosplay walk-in contest wherein the audience decides wh'll win. There were a lot of us but it all went down to two.Me and The baby Naruto. I was sooooo pressured that time because I was battling with a baby Naruto. Take note! BABY!!! TT^TT….and I scared him!!! I am such a bully *Spanks myself!*
I wanna pinch those cheeks so baaaaad!!!!!
In the end, I won the walk in contest (it felt uneasy somehow..battling with a toddler) and Naruto baby still kept on crying. He got scared of the lights and my red eyes…nyuuuuuuuuu!!! And I wanted to hold him!!! He was so cute!!!

Last August 2010, A cosplay contest was held Nationwide. It was the Cyberzone Cosplay Tour Competition.First, there was a preliminary round held in various cities around Philippines. I really didn’t want to join at first but then when a friend persuaded me, I then thought~ why not? It’s for experience anyways.Plus, I heard that the prize was kind of big and the very first thing that I needed at that moment was money~. I needed it for something personal. I asked help from my yhub with the skit and performance. He’s really good at this since he’s a choreographer and a performance director in his school. I give my thanks to him for bearing with my childish antics during the practice. Thank you and sorry yhub!hehehe
Me and my Yhub.
He's prettier than me..hehehe
I had difficulty when I went to the mall coz I cosplayed as Tender Shall in Dream of Dolls and I had white make-up all over. I somehow looked like Ju-on in the Grudge.
I even scare myself sometimes.=3=
photobombed by Mazinger Zeeeeeeee..~
Some shots by Shoti during the minishoot at the evnt center.
I improvised the petticoat of the skirt during the nationals.
@_@ Anyways, I was so happy to see some cool costumes from my friends too~ A lot of them wore gowns like me~ so yeah~ GOWN POWAH!!! Ahahaha
It was competition time and I did my best to act very “dollish”. Afterramping, I was pretty sure that my other friend was going to win~ My friend was quite awesome while on stage but to my surprise the emcee called out my name for the first prize winner. I was so deaf at that time and I later on realized that my name was being called. Stupid moments much? It was my first time joining a solo competition seriously and I’m really happy that somehow I got the opportunity to this one of a kind experience.
Me looking stupidly astounded when they called my name~ >_<
Me and Duane.By the way he won 1st runner-up. Congrats Duane
I then represented my city for the Nationwide competition in the next 2 weeks. There were a lot of competitors and most of them wore mech costumes. Talk about imba~ ahahaha.It’s was also broadcasted live here at http://www.flippish.com/.
live via livestream and the judges.
I was so glad that I finally got to meet my Cebu online friends Maki chan and her sister Yuki chan who by the way is the representative for Cebu. These two sister are quite amazing when it comes to weapon,armor and costume making. The do it theirselves~ Truly inspiring. It got me motivated to do one of my own too. I got to meet other cosplayers from Bacolod Edward and Steven and “kuya” from Cagayan de Oro city too! I was amazed at how detailed their costumes were. Bravo!!!
Cebu's representative Yuki and her sister Maki. Weeeee! I finally met the epic sis. I'm such a fan of their craftsmanship and cosplays. ^___^
Cagayan de Oro's Representative. Mahn was his costume kewl!!! It was like Rubber Sheet powah!!!
Bacolod's Representative, Edward as Ciel Phantomhive. Too bad that his partner Steven was not allowed to perform. Human props rule thing. =3=
"Kuya" as Optimus Prime, Cagayan de Oro's Representative. His dancing was osom!!!
Cebu's representative Yuki as Suiginto. Such a elegant but kickass performance. *claps!*
me (Zhel) as Tender Shall, Davao's representative. I tell you~ this was kinda nerve wrecking for me~ @_@
It was the cosplayer from Cagayan who got the top prize in the event. It's amazing that he can dance knowing that it's hard to manage in that costume~ kudos to you~
Kudos also to all cosplayers who had joined in this event. It’s nice to see and meet other cosplayers from different cities of the Philippines. Congratulations to all~
