Me and my family cosgroup included Mik, Sei, Lice decided to cosplay as the Soviet Union APH a long time ago, and we want to take the shoot before Christmas and use them as the gift to all my friends. But, in exactly 24/12/2011, something unexpected was happened. Lice got terrible ill and Mik got serious with her test at school so she would be late. Because of only have Mik's camera, we must wait for her to 17h30' even if Me/Sei and Lice had gone to The Garden in 13h. But, when she came, she said that his brother had brought camera with him. Of course, it was the bad news for us, and instead of taking mainshoot we used our digital camera. So it was unqualified to call a Photoshoot, it was only a normal X'mas photos in bad quality.

We had alot of beautiful memories this day : shoping, eating with each others, wandering around...some of customes want to take a photo with us included little children <3~ And when coming home, we found out those pics were the best pics i had ever made ;""""; They were so lovely, warm. full of happyness and family love. I edited some pics and posted them on my Fb in 25/12/2011, but now i update them to my blog, too. It maybe late but i hope you guys like our gift.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Tokyo's Colour Event 11/12/2011

Tokyo's Colour is the event was held in Hacinco Student Vilagge by Japanese Foundation of Viet Nam; specially for Yosakoi, Travelling, Study Abroad and cultural exchanges between Japan and Viet Nam.

In my opponion, althought called it a festival, its size was not enought to recoginize as a festival, so we can call it a Cultural Event. T's K was held to display pamilions, consultancy for international study, calling for Japanese Language Student and specially for Yosakoi - a popular form of japanese street performance in spring festival. A lot of my friends are Ha Noi Seinen Yosakoi Team's members who participated in the main Yosakoi event ; in addition, Seiran and Mikuha - my sisters had a traditional japanese dancing called " Tsugai Kogarashi " as the 11th performance. Therefore, I and Lice must go to support them.

At first, Seiran said she could ask for tickets from event manager team, but, one ID card could only exchange to 1 ticket, and it wasn't enought for all of us. Finally, we had to cosplay to enter the enchance because they said cosplayers would free-tickets. Thinking of what pj i could cosplay with made me confused. The main reason was i had no finished costume at that time [ I only prepair costuff accourding to the plan which had setup, and this event wasn't a cosplay festival I had expected to join before ].

I could only wear a wig and tricked those staff that i was cosplaying, but i don't like that, i don't like things what incompleted. So i decided a crazy pj which appeared in my mind for 2 seconds : I had to cosplay at Alice Kirkland - Uk of Axis Power Hetalia gender bender, called Nyotalia ( with Army Uniform / un-popular version ). I borrowed Pigtails Blode Wigs from Ms. Heo Kon ( my lovely friend ) and use my UK offical cosplay costume with a small thing changed : Skirt instead of Uniform pants. I think this choice maybe a shock to my friends who only know me as a crossplayer/ a handsome man or maybe they didn't know i was cosplay as UK female =)).

As i expected, my friends was very suprised, some of them didn't recognize me, some of them stare me from my head to my toes with strange eyes =)) [ It was so funny you know ]. But when i hear that Ngân Phụng_neechan, Ufo, Chir ... had known my character was Uk, i was happy so much ;""""; . Of course, we took many pictures, recording Seiran/Mikchan 's performance carefully with the best view in the front. I'm so proud of my girls <3~ . They had an awesome dancing because of training so hard, and their costume were matched with each other so much ;""";. I felt like they are a true J-boyband who majors in Traditional Music kekeke [ After that, i made them another nickname as Redking boyband, me and Lice is another J-girlband name Golden Girl =)) ].

The event was fun, i love all of you guys - my friends : Sei, Mik, Heo, Jaccs, Alice, Duck... With you, i have many beautiful moment i hadn't had before. Moah moah.

These are some pics taken by Digital camera in T's C event from Sei/K-chan/Hunter/....'s facebook. They didn't in High quality but hope you like them. Sory for late-updating ;""""; See yaa !!

Cosplayer : Hanryu Malicia

 As you know, I'm an Uniform Fetish-er, and alway get crazy when seeing or reading Military/war manga... It's one of many reasons answer my friends question " How do you love APH so much ? Look like you want to cosplay all of Characters in this manga !! ". After being instroduced  by Fangirl League, I tried to watch APH anime. And except for recognizing it as a funny/ comedy anime, i had no other emotion. But, after sometime searching APH Doujinshi on internet, i found out that APH is survived because of the Ultimated Power of Fangirl. Unlike what you saw in the surface, this anime had so many S-A Hint factors which make fangirl an ability to create lots of S-A couples. And I knew, APH must become the major of my cosplay life.

I love all characters of APH, specially Arthur Kirkland ( England ), Hong Kong and Benward ( Sweden ). Firts, I decided to cosplay as UK and HongKong. In my oppinion, Sweden is heroes, calm ,strict, but in the deep inside, he is so cute, gentle... ---> My ideal man <3~. So, it explains why i don't dare to cosplay as him ;""""; 

On a nice day, with warm wind, warm sunlight, after chit chat with Lish_san, she revealed that I look alike Sweden so much, it made me so suprised ( can't breath ). She recommended that i could try one time, and she didn't think i would fail. Soooooo, I did. The first time i showed my Sweden cosplay in public was Active Expo 2010 (by ACCvn). But now, in 11/2011, i decide to take the final photoshoot of this PJ, which had many good/awesome feedback from my friends  in last 1 year.

It is the last Sweden cosplay but isn't the last APH cosplay of me. I truthly want to countinue with many other characters, many beautiful costume/ highschool uniform/ military uniform/ traditions-ancient costume which represent many countries in the world. I love my country - VietNam, so i love all of you countries too. Hope the world of us would be full of peace and love forever !!

NOW, LETS SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE. 
HOPE YOU LIKE THAT AND THANKS FOR WATCHING !!

Special thanks to BBG and HCM's friends

Naked Ape is my most favourite magaka group, so i love all projects of them. My first love with Naked Ape Style is [ Switch ] - one impressive seinen manga about the battle of Drug Dealers and Police. My third cosplay is Hal Kurabayashi from [Swich], but at this time, not many people knew about this manga and Naked Ape, too. It made me feel so lonely :((. 


After Vol 3, [Switch ] translation was droped and I didn't know how to find Raw manga to countinued reading * Heart break *. Then, when i knew Naked Ape had released another manga called " DOLLS" which had many good feedback from fan. I hope it would be my manga style, so i decided to read it ~~~~~~ And, kabooom, I AM IN LOVE AT THE FIRST SIGH WITH USAKI OF DOLLS.

I want to have a friend to chat chit about DOLLS, and in accident, I met Heartnet. She had the same hobby and interest as me, so she love DOLLS very much, too. We promised to cosplay and take photoshoot with each others. But, We just can't because she is in Ho Chi Minh City while I am from Ha Noi. 

In 2011,  Heartnet went to Ha Noi to travel ... And as promised before, we took this photoshoot . Although, not having much time to prepair, some of stuff were missing, the weather was bad, rainy all day..., we tried our best. So, i'm very happy when seeing the result of this. 

Thank Hearnet for making friend with me, I proud of you.

Now, It's show time !!

Warning : Maintitle of this Pj is Shounen-Ai .

The Garden 's Halloween Cosplay Party 30/10/2011

GHCP - the party was held by Big C group - one of the biggest super market system of Vietnam in 30/10/2011.

Maintitle of this event was Halloween, they intended to invite all of people who want to celebrate Halloween event in exciting festival atmosphere with friends and family. Unexpectedly, they want us - cosplayers join this event too [ we can't appear in public places regulary because of some culture reasons ]. Unlike HoChiMinh city, HaNoi hasn't much cosfes for us, we have only 1 or 2 fes per year : Sakura fes at spring and maybe ACC festival in September. In 2011, ACC fes wasn't held, this made us very sad, but, in Octorber, 1 week after Make me super star fes by HHT magazine, we have GHCP in A SUPER BEAUTIFUL SHOPING HALL OF VIETNAM.

It was late because main show was started at 6 p.m, and finisfed in 10 p.m. I went to The Garden at 4 p.m, changed outfit and met Seiran at 5 p.m. The Shopping Hall was very nice, we want to take many pictures but it was crowded here, so pics' s quality is bad ="=. I have so many ugly pics want to delete or remove tags, but some of them have my friends on it [ random take with friends who met in fes ], so I must be kept and treasured them ;A;.

Althought, pics were bad, not much time to wander around, somethings annoying happend.... but, i think GHCP is much more fun than Make Me Super Star Festival. Maybe my awesome friends made my festival' s memories so perfect.

Now, let's see some pics of us at GHCP <3~

[ I was forced to Photoshop some pics which have unacceptable mistake of me in acting pose --- > so sad, why am i ugly so much while others is awesome beauty ??? * faint * ]

As i said before, Axis Power Hetalia : Asia Familly is the first project that i co-opperated with Xuan Tieu Lau Group. We performed " Raising Asia " in GenKi Matsuri VietNam on 04/2011, and I uploaded the video by Fancam at previous entries " APH cosplay performance ". Our original team included : Korea by Holly Hollen, Japan by Ngan Phung, Taiwan by Hana Hime, Vietnam by Ly Luk Lak, China by Zen9, HongKong by me, 2 supporters in Chinese/Korean Girls costume by Hai Anh and Ura. But, when we set the day to take photoshoot, Zen9 was busy in college, Ly had a stomadache, Ura was absence for unknow reason and Hai Anh must take care of Ly ( Hai Anh is Ly's younger sister ). So that, we decided to take some changes. Instead of removing China, we told Holly took that character because of the main title of this photoshoot is
" Taiwan birthday " - China, big brother, was not allowed to absence.

Photoshoot was taken in 2 places : the indoor was Bach Thao Le Nhan teashop and the outdoor was a Pagoda near Westlake. The owner of teashop seem to be discomfort when we shoot in there, we had to hurry, so we only have a few of indoor pictures. On the contrary, Pagoda for outdoor shoot was quite, Buddhists were easygoing and kind for us. In addition, the purified atmosephere made us feel safety. I love nun, monk and buddhists who we accidentally met in there because althought haven't ever met us before, they really care about us. They smiled, inquired and told us about their youth .....

This cosplay shoot had many beautiful memories and i treasure all of them. Ngan Phung upload this Pj in Facebook, her Deviantart in exactly 25/10 - Nation Day of Taiwan, but today, it's my turn to upload it on my blog ;)) [ Save the best for the last ...heh heh ].

Let's see how our works is with some pics !! 

You will notice the diffirent style in editing pictures, because Ngan Phung ( manhua/chinese cosplay major ) is the one who PTS all pj, not me ^^~ but, hope you like this !!

Make me a super star festival 23/10/2011

Make me a super star festival was located in Ha Noi-VietNam on 23/10/2011

It's a final event of M2S2 cosplay contest was held by Hoa Học Trò Magazine from 07/2011 to 10/2011. They had the outdoor side for free cosplayers, so i and my friends decided to go the festival in the afternoon.


In the mooning, Sei, Mik, Lice and me went to Heo-chan's house to prepair for festival which was held from 1pm to 5pm. Because Mik and Sei must take part in the rehearsal for their performance at 10 o'clock, so they quickly maked-up and changed the outfit in order to go the Youth Cultural House on time. Me and Lice have to brought them to YCH, and after that, we could prepair for ourself. 


We promised that we would have been there with Sei-Mik at 12h30, but something unexpected was happen. CCS groups and some of Heo_chan's friends need to make up before fes but they did'n know how to do,  that mean me and lice must help them first, so we didn't have enought time to change and fix our outfit. Therefor, when we done all of things and went to YCH, it was 2pm.


At first, Seiran was very angry, but after hearing our reason, she returned to normal mood. And then, exactly, we had a lots of fun with friends, took many pictures .... This was a great day i have ever had.


Suprisingly, my friends group from Ho Chi Minh City who came to Ha Noi 2 days before were coming to fes, too. With Zea_san, a cosplayer from Thai Lan. We met each other the day before when i guide all of them to Long Bien Bridge of Ha Noi and help them book tour to Ha Long Bay. I sightly worry about Zea's health because she seem to be tired during the tripwalk, but in fes, she said she was fine and showed us an awesome costume. Yeah, her Thai's friends : Chol and Pat is very nice and cute here :X. I think i like Chol-san the most, he is the most enthusiastic man in the world. Today, when they come back to Ha Noi, maybe we will go somewhere together again. Nice to meet all of you !!!

Hến, Nhã, Fai, Hit, Kell, Ming are exactly the same as i imaged about them. They were so cool in fes, and i'm so proud to be a friend of them.


Now, i upload some picture taken from my friends facebook [ because i didn't bring camera TT^TT ]

It take me 1 year to complete full set off her costume. I have tried my best to make me become a perfect Lightning cosplayer, but can't exclute the mistake. Because of the my love for her, i want to make FF13-2 costume, maybe it take me 1 year again and the costume is very hard to make. But, nevermind, i will do it.

Thank for watching ! And please leave the comment if you can !
