Gaisano Mall's Toyplay 2010

I must admit Toyplay 2010 was a quick event but despite that my friends and I had a blast cosplaying in that event. I didn’t plan to cosplay in this event since it fell on Nov. 1 (All Soul’s Day) and my family had already planned to go to the cemetery to visit our dead family and relatives. Eventually and suprisingly, my family cancelled that and thus, I decided to cosplay instead.(gah~ 3 days of cosplay…fuuuaaa~~@_@)

I had been informed that there was a competition and I was invited to join it. Mitch, my friend and neighbour went at the mall together and we cosplayed Gakupo (me) and Luka (mitch) of the Sandplay version to make more “holoweenish”. I was sssooooooo happy that finally, I have a partner for my Gakupo Sandplay cosplay! Yay!!! To make it even better Shoti (shutterpuppy photography) was there to take shots at our Sandplay Cosplay. It was also cool to see Marvin again. We missed him so much since the time he went back to Manila to work. He had a shoot with Shoti too with his Kamen Rider armor.

Here are some that Shoti took during our rooftop “invasion” at G-mall.

We also had a shoot with Loreen’s team in her mini studio booth. It was nice to meet new people and new photographers there. I’m hoping that they would have booths like these in the near future. I know that Shoti and I would’ve loved that too.

Minutes later the event started. There were a lot of participants both old (from the MCS events) and new. Basically, the competition was just walk-in with a distinct characterization and poses. I didn’t expect anything from that contest but I was still hoping to win because I heard the prizes where quite worth it.

By the end of the event, The winners were announced and my friend Ping-ping won first prize! I was rooting for her too! Congrats Ping! (Hopeful wishes came true? Ei ei ei~~ ahahaha). I won the 2^nd prize and the Halo cosplayer (sorry~~ I don’t know who was inside that costume but I was amazed with the similarities it had from the game…The blinking lights gah!) won the 3^rd Prize .

Do comment below if you're the owner of these pics so that i can credit you also. Thank you!)

True to their word, the prizes that we had were really great!!! And I must admit that it was really put into good use for my Singapore trip. Somehow joining this competition helped me a lot for my trip abroad and I give a lot of thanks to the organizers and sponsors for that!!!

Thank you for all the support guys and congratulations to all!!!
