So Sakuracon 2010 has officially ended (days ago...I'm slow lol) and everyone's normal life is back on track once again...

Anyone can't help but feel somewhat deprived? ww

Anyhow here's a brief (or as brief as I can make it...w) summary from me :3
---

- THURSDAY:

:iconjinxyz527: came to park at my house and we lugged our luggage together to catch the quick-shuttle. At the stop, I went on a quick food run and once I was back Mariko had already arrived to rendez-vous point :3 later :iconkurobara-ouji: joined us and the bus soon arrived. The drive down took much shorter than anticipated and customs was as smooth as a baby's butt~~~ haha<3

We arrived in Downtown, Seattle around 5pm, did some touristy things, took the monorail and lugged our luggage uphill until we've reached our hotel. Next is badge pickup! Glad we went on a Thursday, the line was only about 15mins~ or less, MUCH better than last year when we arrived on a Friday afternoon and had to spend about 3hours in line Orz.

Then its dinner! Found a nice Vietnamese restaurant -which food was verrry authentic and yummy too- since we were all freezing due to the cold weather and felt like something warm, with soup<3 haha

Then its back to the hotel for a easy night~
While I did cut Mariko's wig to suit Hijikata (Hakuouki), jinxyz527 dressed up as Shouta (DOLLS) for a quick pre-con photoshoot XD

Mind I say...while cutting Mariko's wig, jinxyz527 gave me his scissors to use...and I ended up cutting my fingers 3times with them Orz

- FIRST I made a quick snip on my index finger...luckily the skin didn't break...
- SECOND I made a snip on my index finger again...the skin didn't break...but it started to bleed inside my skin =w=
- FINALLY (THIRD) I totally cut into my middle finger...and the bleeding totally wouldn't stop Orz

Stupid evil scissors...*mumbles some more* LOL

Anyhow, the wig cut turned out great :D and off we went to explore the area around our hotel and for a quick photoshoot :3

At first it was hard to get the right setting (I don't have very much cam gear as I'm not really a photographer...ww) and the stupid white uniform kept absorbing all the light and making the image uneven and such...

However after a lucky discovery...we've realize that jinxyz527 must be a landscape!!! ww as the landscape setting was perfect for him XD;

Photos came out great :D
and then its back to the hotel for wind up and to prepare for Friday - DAY 1 <3

Did a face mask with Mariko, helped jinxyz527 to sew on the badges for his SMS Alto<3 and its goodnight<3

---

- FRIDAY:

DAY 1 of Sakuracon 2010!!!
Wore my Concert-Diamond Crevasse Sheryl Nome (Macross F) along with jinxyz527 as my Alto<3 and headed to the con, as expected..the dress was HARSH to walk in...even I kept on stepping on myself haha;;

On the escalator, we passed by a very cute Miku (Vocaloids)who shouted out my DA username at me! ww
I was quite surprised really!! But we were taking the escalator on different directions, so we had to make her come back up again...XD it turned out to be :icondadadana: :3

Mariko gave me her US keitai to use :3 so we decided to contact :iconshiroin: to meet up<3
Here's the funny moment...While we stepped off to the side so I could figure out how to use Mariko's keitai...I finally managed to call, and once the call got through, jinxyz5277 heard a voice right behind him...and once he stepped out of my view...I realized shiroin was sitting right there behind jinxyz527 XD;;
This must be fate, right!!! haha~

We then headed off to do some shoots, and got some seriously awesome shots...ones which ~shiroin totally sacrificed a lens for...I'm sorry ORZ Orz orz...
but the shots seriously were awesome T__T as expected of the amazing shiroin ww

Then we parted to grab some food and wander around some...and I forgot what else we did already LOL

Oya~ did some more private shooting with jinxyz527, found more Vancouver people, and wandered around at the con some more~

Then we went back to the hotel to change for the Masquerade ball...I was kinda disappointed with it...as its just MUCH too bright to feel like a ball/dance...ww still we danced some~~~<3

AS I SHOULD MENTION -
your's truly failed to dance at the masquerade ball...

AS I COULDN'T STOP STEPPING ON MY DRESS AND COULD BARELY MOVE LOL
^isn't that a sad image XD

Found more people from Vancouver<3 and as we were leaving the Ball, ran into shiroin again and decided to do an alto shoot XD;
Went back to the hotel to change again, and met up again~ ww
Dinner was subway...which was horrid because it tasted like medicine to me...and probably was what caused me to throw up later into the night Orz...
that and the cold weather...Orz;;

The back at the hotel, already sleep deprived...I tried to rescue jinxyz527's wig for Saitou (Hakuouki) -This time!! I DID NOT cut my hands at all :D~~w
Yay for wig cutting at 2am...It started out looking like a Tieria(Gundam 00) wig...like WAY TOO straight...so I tried to use a straightener to give it some curve...and guess what...I TOTALLY BURNT IT TO A CRISP LOLOL -even on my lowest setting (which is totally fine for my other wigs = =)
Anyhow..the rescue was a total failure on my end Orz...thought it looked a lot better after the cutting...it remained straight as ever...Orz

Since both of us were nodding off to sleep...we gave up and went to bed LOL

---

- SATURDAY:

Day 2 was the Album Cover-Diamond Crevasse Sheryl Nome (Macross F) while jinxyz527 and Mariko dressed up as Saitou (Hakuouki) and Hijikata (Hakuouki), respectively. Kiri was dressed up as a GIANT Golbat (Pokemon) along with her boyfriend as Brock (pokemon).

jinxyz527's wig looked alot better after some styling and pinning though!! If anyone was still interested on update of that XD;

We then headed out to meet up with :icondearesthime: who was the Yousou version of Chizuru (Hakuouki) and :iconyonashi: who was dressed up as Ranka (Macross F) and our day began<3

Totally missed the MF shoot as we totally couldnt find it...and couldn't reach Mei, who had organized it XD;;

Did some private shooting for the Hakuouki group, and got some awesome polaroids from ~dearesthime <3

Went to see bits of Dazzle Vision in concert! Though we sat much further in the back, the concert was still amazing! I was totally amazed at the vo's voice...so cute and so deathly~<3 haha
OH yes!! we were apparently in the same hotel as  Dazzle Vision, so we actually ended up seeing them moving btw the hotel and con many times :3

Next was High and Mighty Color, they're a good band and all...but to be honest...I liked them a lot better with the previous vo. Maki, now to me, they're just not the same...haha;;
Wished we could have stayed to watch longer but due to fatigue, both Mariko -sitting on my left side, and jinxyz527 -sitting on my right side fell asleep on me!! haha

Since Saturday was our 'GOOD DINNER DAY' lol so we decided to eat well at the Cheesecake factory directly across from the convention center. The wait time for a 6people table was ~2hrs...can you believe it Orz

As we headed back to the con to get back to our hotel, I realized I got a sms from shiroin for a shoot. Just as I was about to return the call, I saw him sitting right in front of us once again -what's with this fate! lol

As I waited for shiroin to SLOWLY finish eating his sub XD jinxyz527 and Mariko went back to the hotel, while waiting, people just piled and piled up on shiroin -that popular guy!! w

The 2nd MF shoot with shiroin took place right outside of the Cheesecake Factory -IT WAS VERY COLD ww
but definitely well worth it <3 thanks for the shoots shiroin!!! <3

Dinner was great...totally couldn't finish the portions at all...and was definitely MUCH too full for their infamous cheesecakes...XD

and then its back to the hotel for some unsuspecting hell...Orz

jinxyz527 TOTALLY DIED on us upon getting back to the hotel...XD;
Since it was our last night at the Hilton, I decided to pack up some of my previous crap first...XD

So by the time that finished, it was ~3am
since jinxyz527 was still dead...and sleeping like a log horizontally on the bed...I couldn't help but sleep horizontally too Orz LOL
---

- SUNDAY:

~6am had my beauty sleep stolen away from me as I was required to help him bleach his hair from black -> blonde XD
We finished ~8am and I totally collapsed on the bed...meanwhile jinxyz527 stayed awake to finish off his gun/rosary for Shima (ZONE-00). Was then woken up ~9:30am to dye his hair from orange (due to the bleach) -> ash blonde...MY BEAUTY SLEEP D: LOL

finally started prepping my cos for the last day, I wore Benten (ZONE-00) with jinxyz527 as my hate-interest (LOL) Shima (ZONE-00)

Ended up packing up everything and checked our luggage with the concierge and off to the final day at the con -every one was TOTALLY dead Orz

met up with dearesthime again with her as my cute little brother, Benio (ZONE-00) and waited for Mei to arrive as Majoko (ZONE-00) and had a shoot and got called/reffered to as a 'cheap whore' by ~jinxyz527jinxyz527

One thing I remember...Stephen was shooting...and I totally fingered him...XD;;
I feel like I should apologize for that...as he seemed really shocked...XD;

I didn't mean to finger YOU...it was my character that day...8'D
->lame-o excuse LOL

Soon one by one, everyone had to go, we went back to get our luggage and changed back into normal clothes all ready to leave the con~~~ XD

Oya! before that we went to the dealers room :3
Mariko picked some Korirakkuma stuff for Krystal :3
jinxyz527 couldnt resist a Kira-Kira-Eyed Chopper (one piece) :3
and I got myself an albino 2010 4th anniversary gloomy bear stuffy<3

everyones happy XD~~~<3

last meal in seattle, like last year, was of course...
MACDONALDS LOL -since West Lake center was totally closed on Easter Orz

Took the monorail back to our bus stop and off we headed back up to Vancouver...

And that concludes our journey~~~
sorry its so boring and long XD;;

and now...

I'm sure everyones feeling post-con depression Orz

Now with out all the mad sewing and prop making...I feel my life is so empty Orz

Itwasfunwhileitlasted Orz
