After three months, finally, I got a haircut. As barbershops are allowed to operate again during the general community quarantine (GCQ) period, my two-inch hair will finally be cut.

Let’s start this post by showing this comment right here. It’s been more than 10 years since I stepped my foot into an anime convention. My first event is the Anime Overload Festival in November 2009, and I believe SMX Convention Center is that young.
