It has been a while since I’ve been here. I was even surprised that I still know my login. Hahaha… Let’s see, I have been gone for several months. I guess I lost the will to write at some point. Never really knew why. I guess things never turned out the way I wanted them to be. But I am over it. I am moving forward.
What’s new under my sun these days? Well, I realized that things or people are never what they seemed to be. I had a talk with a friend about how people choose their friends and when they would consider a colleague as a friend. It turned out, I am very friendly after all. Because for me, if I get to spend time with someone and we can freely talk about anything and we get along well, then I treat that person as my friend. It turned out, for her and someone I know sees things differently. They would talk to people from work and hang out, talk about their issues but they won’t consider them as friends. What the F! I never knew that you could do all those things but you don’t really have to be friends. I didn’t know acquaintances can do things together without being friends. According to Merriam Webster, a friend is a person who one is attached to another by affection or esteem, one who is not hostile, one that is of the same nation, party or group or a favored companion. I didn’t know they have changed the meaning of it over the decade. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Anyway, there were changes at work but like before, we still look bad in front of everyone despite of the efforts that we put in. Sometimes, I would ask myself if it is worth it. If I should just continue to ignore what they throw my way and just push myself and do what I am set out to do despite of the fact that it is a battle that I can never win. A battle that I have to fight on my own. Honestly, my workload had never gotten into me, it was the betrayal and the feeling of being alone that gets into me. If they wanted to hurt me, then they were successful in doing so. I hope they’re happy to know that.
But life wasn’t all too cruel to me these days. I had my better days. I asked someone to include me as one of the crew for an event that he and his friends would organize last August. He then came back and informed me that they will be organizing an event this October. I agreed right away but had reservations as the time approached. See, I am never good at meeting strangers and making friends but I was able to meet a couple of people. So I was happy that I decided to go through with it. Thank God that Edcel was there for it made a lot of difference. He made things fun! I now know how to describe him if someone asks me to describe him in 2 words. “FUN and OUTGOING” hehehe… We worked as crew members for the HOBCON event that CANE Events organized in Ayala, Cebu last October 10, 2010 (which reminds me, 10/10, is the birthday of Go Kiat Chun). It was an event for hobbyists where Cosplayers, photographers, bloggers and the Fashionistas come together to showcase their talent and their passion for the hobby that they love.
Honestly, I always thought that Cosplay is child’s play. A hobby for the bonkers. I mean why would you spend a lot of money just to play make believe? But seeing how much work they put into their costumes, I realized that bonkers can never come up with such artistry. Yes, dressing up and acting like a fictitious character is weird and some were just doing it for the attention but for most cosplayers, it is not about the opportunity to be like the heroes that they love or the attention that they will get when they are in costume that mattered. It was to be able to express themselves in an art form that is very different from making paintings or taking photographs. While I was standing there amidst the crowd, seeing and feeling their passion and pride of being able to express themselves, my dislike turned into respect and admiration. This for me is the reason why I could say that the event, despite of some glitches here and there, was successful. It was able to convey that Cosplay is an Art. Kudos to CANE Events.
