or, “How do I role-play myself once again into a Fate-themed cafe” One day I stumbled upon another Fate/-themed cafe, this time it‘s organized by an entity called THE UNION. “A Battle to Save the Children,” it says on the poster. To which I wondered, “How?” It was when I got alerted by one of my close friends, Naru of AniZone, that I am invited to feature this experience on keepsakes. (Side note: The way I see it, if it’s Naru-recommended, 90% I’ll go.) ...

Baguio City’s Long-Awaited Cosplay Comeback - Major Cosplay Event happening at Newtown Plaza Event Center Last January, I went to Baguio City for the first time to witness how cosplay events work there, through Kospurei Bunkasai. To be quite honest, I failed to get a good grasp of what the community is like, and I was so sleepy you can see me dozing off on some occasions. I promised myself that by the next time I stepped in Baguio, I shall have a good hold of it. ...
