Metro Comic Con 2009

August 8,2009
What: Metro Comic Con
Where:Mega Trade Hall B, Megamall
Last, last week me and my office mates went to the Comic con at Megamall mainly to see our (Me and Lian's) friend Rai ( this guy is really cool! He makes monster action figures out of other ones he uses roof sealant like clay to do his alterations!) who was having a exhibit of his creations, a diorama that was ordered to him by a newly starting Online comic company actually I usually go to these cos-play events with Chard but now that there is a less chance for us to go together and Lian is going anyways I decided to invite some of my office mates (to make it more fun, I really wanted to be there so I probably would have gone alone if I had to.) Ardee, Edvie , Khoi and Val, I also invited Pattie , JM and Bheloy but they had other plans so when they saw the pictures they suddenly wished they attended the event haha!

The entrance is P100 , no drinks allowed probably because people might spill it on the comics displayed but I remembered bringing in a frappe one time but I think that was Toy con not Comic con anyways, there were lots of interesting stuff inside like the accessories made of baked clay looks really cute the designs for necklaces and earrings were cakes, ice creams, burgers, pizza etc. I wanted to buy one but I thought the price was somehow high.



There were also Chikara hats, I bought a pink one, just though it would be nice to have a souvenir to remember how much fun I had on this day. Local comics were also being sold there you can buy a copy for the price of P10 pretty cheap and the contents are also funny, I can tell even though they are just starting there really have talent in drawing.

Carlo Pagulayan and the other artists the work for Marvel were also there signing comics and doing sketches I seriously wanted to fall in line for the sketch but there were far too many people in line.
Well among all of us I was the only one who have been in these events before so Lian, Ardee,Edvie and Khoi are first timers and are a bit shy on asking to take pictures with the cosplayers so I was the one pulling and pushing them around chasing the cos-players that are wearing costumes of anime characters we recognize and some that we don't but though that they are cute so we have to take a picture with them hehehe...



After some time... taking pictures of cos-players and toys on display we got so hungry and ate at KFC and Val texted us that he will drop by so we waited for him and after eating Lian went home and we went back to Megatrade Hall and to our surprise there was a band playing and it was Giniling Festival,

Khoi was suddenly so happy who would have though that that band was his "idol"( his own words) hahaha pretty cool band , funny lyrics and all. So after watching the band play we strolled around one last time and decided to go home because I'm already so tired from walking/running around chasing cos-players and looking for stuff to buy. Edvie, Khoi and Val still stayed to watch G.I. Joe , I wanted to see that movie too but I'm so frigging' exhausted but I'm happy I had a great time :)


Rai's Creations
