Grand Pop Culture Fair 2012

This event is organize by Otakuzine and KFest Events Management. The event title is quite catchy, it is REALLY catchy for me. Fair means tons of merchandises, which I really looking forward to. I'm with my niece, we got there VERY early and the ticket booth isn't open yet. Somehow i felt disappointed with the number of attendees in the con, and I am still keeping my hopes up--maybe the others are still on their way. By the time we got our tickets, I am crossing my fingers..hoping to see a paradise-like booths for an anime merchandise hunter like myself. We step in, I look around and my heart sank (I'm exaggerating--really). I saw few anime booths and the rest are Jpop and Kpop fan booths, I am not a fan in any of those. I am trying to keep convincing myself to enjoy the convention since I'm with my niece. I also saw my otaku acquaintance that I met at SM North EDSA during the Oh No Manga Cosplay Camp. Oh No! It is also the same day that OhNo Manga launches another event in SM Taytay, I badly wanna attend that con but it's too far.

I don't regret attending Pop Culture Fair, but somehow the comparison of the previous events I attended, this one is a flopcon (it's my opinion). The cosplayers are so few. The whole con is a disaster! haha just joking.

GASHAPONS!
I felt like I am in Japan hahah
(poor me)

I feel wasted and disappointed, so I spent most of my cash with these yummy treats..

Handmade Onigiri
I ate 2 chicken filled onigiri to feel better haha
Oishii!

We got to try mochi too!
I chose chocolate ice cream filling.
I really enjoy eating sweets.

I also ate Taiyaki (i bet you know it), the fish-shaped cake and has custard filling. I felt better when I treat myself to these yummy Japanese foods.

I also managed to buy cheap merchandise, just to serve as a souvenir for the event.

These are pins of anime shows that I love:
Orihara Izaya is so cute doing that heart sign~
Kirigaya Kazuto is the main protagonist of SAO (I bet you really know)
