My Life as Evergreen, A Proud Fairy Tail Member. L ♥
Warning: This is going to be a veeery loooong post!
That was Sunday, September 30 2012. Cosplay Mania 2012. Another awesome day with my FZ friends. An unforgettable and unexpected things happened in just one day of us, as Fairy Tail Wizards.
My imagination's original cosplay idea was to portray Wilma in the famous cartoon, The Flinstones - so that I can have Nemo as my partner - as Fred Flinstone. It was the simplest costumes ever which I believe I can still save-up at least 50% of my expected cosplay budget.
I think Nemo doesn't really want to be Fred. You know that guilt feeling that you're like forcing him to cosplay this or to cosplay that, and then eventually I told him that whoever he wants to cosplay, it's up to him now to decide - and I'm planning to just go with them with OR WITHOUT my costume on. I mean, I was very sensitive with the money that I'm going to spend for this. Since this is going to be my very first OWNED costume (I was just lucky that I borrow my previous costumes in the past few years, thanks to Ate Rue whom I met through Multiply). So to make the story short, I was really planning to not to cosplay anymore.
EVENTUALLY... I CHANGED MY MIND!
Nemo encouraged me a little. So I heard everyone will be cosplaying Fairy Tail. Nemo searched for a female character that will really suit my taste. I googled and then... I saw myself as Evergreen. I'M DECIDED! I will cosplay Evergreen from fairy Tail.
Evergreen Evergreen (エバーグリーン Ebāgurīn) is a 20-year-old wizard and the sole female member of the Thunder God Tribe. Using her eye magic, Stone Eyes (石化眼(ストーン・アイズ Sutōn Aizu), she can petrify others through eye contact. She wears eyeglasses to control this magic, similar to Bickslow, and uses it to hold several other female members of the guild hostage, forcing the remaining members to participate in the Battle of Fairy Tail. She can also conjure golden dust to perform various attacks such as Fairy Bomb: Gremlin (妖精爆弾 グレムリン Yōsei Bakudan: Guremurin), an explosion of ignited dust, and Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun (妖精機銃 レブラホーン Yōsei Kijū: Reburahōn), a projectile attack in which she rapidly fires limitless needles at her opponents. She originally joins Fairy Tail solely for her obsession with anything having to do with fairies, and covets Erza Scarlet's title of "Fairy Queen, Titania". She partners with Elfman Strauss and helps him surprise and defeat Mirajane in the first stage of the S-class exam on Tenrou Island by tricking her into thinking they are engaged. However, she fervently denies her feelings about him to anyone who brings it up.
Since it's my first time. We did fabric cloth shopping!
And then, my friends refer us here at Marie's. and definitely there will be NO second time!
We gave our costume details to Ate Nancy (the one who made my costume at Marie's). At first, I was so excited to the point that I can't wait any longer for Cosplay Mania. If I'm not mistaken, we showed her the details as early as the first week of September. So I believe that would be a long time for her to make my dress beautiful as I expect it to be. We gave her at least TWO WEEKS to finish it so that if there will be any changes, we can fix it ahead of time.
Only to find out, she made my dress in just ONE DAY! Two weeks was already over and still delayed my costume for I guess 5 days more! And the results were all messed up! The embroidery and my fan was a mess too!! I was really disappointed at her.
Thank God we still have a week to fix our costume. That's Ate Imee, my office-mate who referred me to her friend Ate Nora, who do good embroidery! Ate Nora really saves the day! Thank you so much!
How I wish I was able to take a photo of my original Marie's-made costume that was very disappointing. But this intagram photo of my costume took my bad mood away. Thank you Ate Nora for such a clean and BETTER EMBROIDERY. I love it..
For embroidery services, call or text Nora Calderon at 09266745968. She's from Taytay Rizal.
Going back...
I also want to thank Lidyza for transforming my fan into a huge cute fan as I expected it to be. I love the hearts as well! You really did a great job! Kudos to your art skills :)
So everything was OK. 1 day just before the event...
I was figuring out how am I going to put my Fairy Tail mark. (My FT mark is located on my right breast). I used a colored pen for the green one and a styropore paint on the red one. Both of them looks good but eventually fades easily once I perspire. So I used a green pentle pen instead and Mean's friend (John Paul Ruanto) was the one who put our Fairy Tail Guild marks.
SO THIS IS REALLY IS IT!!!! COSPLAY MANIA, Here we come!!
Me & Nemo went to Fiesta Villa and bought our Brunch contribution.
Few blocks away from Fiesta Villa, we went at Jazwell/Awin's house. We did our preparation there as we did our make-up, costume fitting, Fairy Tail marks tatoo-ing and revised some of our costumes and weapons.
On our way to SMX. Cool jeepney ride going to Santolan station. Then we rented an Innova car going to SM Mall Of Asia.
FINALLY!! Here are a few shots from our unforgettable cosplay ramp!
Before we enter Function Room 4. So many photographers were getting on our way!
The Characters:
Jepii as Gildarts Clive.

Dianne as Levy McGarden.
Joanna as Erza Scarlet.
Awin & Maku as Gray Fullbuster.

With Erza Scarlet.
It has been 4 years since the last time I saw him in person! And what a coincidence that we cosplayed characters, both from Fairy Tail Raijinshuu (Thunder God Tribe). Cute reunion huh?! :)) Say hello to my college friend, Mark Canada who went too as Laxus Dreyar. We're both from the same tribe in the anime Fairy Tail ♥
Thanks guys for taking care of our belongings and for joining us! We're sooooo many!! *GROUP HUGS!* ♥
We went inside the function room for more goodies and activities....
So kawaaiiii!!! Lucy spotted her celestial spirit Aries.
With TV5's Kapitan Awesome a.k.a. Empoy!
Me, Mean & Dianne was about to join.. Me & Dianne got stage fright! hahaha... It's your time to shine Lucy Heartfilia! They were with Empoy & Alwin Uytingco.
F na F! :))))))
Evergreen was taking a rest from her high heels.. >.<
Anyhow.. EVERYONE WAS STARVING ALREADY! Time Check: past 4:00 pm.
We decided to take our dinner, until we saw Arianne one of our FZ friends who's very knowledgeable when it comes to photography. So as much as we wanted to have our dinner first, we attented to Arianne's mini photo shoot.
These photos aren't Arianne's shot. Her photos are still on process. These are raw shots by Charles and edited by me :)
Thank you so much Arianne! We're really getting excited with your shots!
Look who's coming!! Kawaiiii couple of the day! ♥
Dinner with friends...
Gray Fullbuster's Ice Canon became useful as our camera stand! haha :P
By The Bay.... Took a rest... Gangnam... Bonding...
711 Sessions on our way home... at 12:00 midnight :))
I was hoping if I could really stop the clock by the time that we're all still together; small talks, boisterous laughter, helping out each other and simply by doing things all together. I am very happy I have this kind of family that almost resembles to Fairy Tail wizards. It's all about the friendship. Arigato Gozaimazu! ♥♥♥
