After weeks of productive break and various real life matters, I present some pictures from the recent Metro ComiCon at the SM Megamall Convention Center.

This is my first time attending a big local event and I could say that I quite had fun.

The Comicon.. of course is more about comics, but what I can see is that most of the cosplays and stuff are anime related. There were of course real comics and locally produced ones…

I’m not really fond of comics but I convinced myself to go. Not to mention I live close by and my friends are waiting.

The event wasn’t really that… good.. but it’s easy to have fun in it. Most I did was take pictures, look at the art works and loiter.

I also tried using the Wacom Cintiq on display.. it was pretty cash…

Some of the guys selling off their comics…

Very western…

That’s Mr David Lloyd, the co-author for V for Vendetta

It’sa me~ Mario~

And her sidekick~ Luigi~

On the first day, I was a bit hesitant when taking pictures, I only got a few…

It’s a Trap!

There were of course showcased figures and collectibles from the comic industry…

Another Trap!

The second day…

A Weeaboo dinner for a weeaboo… The food was kind of weird because it had Mangoes in it.. yes.. Mangoes… WAT

Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Free Hugs!!!

My classmates decided to have some fun for action, I’m glad that I was invited, proving that I’m not that invisible anymore (but I think it’s better to still be like that, since it’s good for ninja photography).

So we went to this place called Oh La La, it’s really far, located at Muladbukad(?), Guinobatan, Albay.

I’m glad that I remembered to bring my camera there. So then I took some pics before I got wet in the pool.

I went around to take some pics, but I get lost frequently, so I just don’t get far.

The place is really big, I still can’t even memorize where I’ve been strolling around.

So anyway, I just took some pics randomly…

LOL…

Crappy Camera is Crappy…

Some of the families having their lunch… I wonder where they came from? They look like.. oh nvm…

Look at that kid from the far right, he looks like a… nvm…

Spot the loli…

Some of my classmates…

Shy loli is shy… to bad… her pops is there…

. . .

Some of my classmates…

Yeah, what does hair taste like?

They’re already cleaning it?

Drainage….

I didn’t notice it at first that we’re NEAR the foot of Mt. Mayon!

There they are, taking some group pics.. of course I didn’t go there…

Sigh… Would a DSLR capture this perfectly?

I didn’t have that much pics, I was too busy having my own time swimming… oh yeah, I don’t even know how to swim…

Another round of Photo Shots!

On top of the College of Arts and Letter building from Bicol Univeristy…

2. Second floor of the building.. Nobody here?

Crappy quality, this is what you get from a 2 megapixel camera…

3. Going up! This reminds me of Japanese random-photoshoot-1s in anime, I see a lot of scenes in this kind of stairs

4. Such fine Filipino quality… I wonder if this still works? Or did it even work?

5. Top Floor!

6 The fourth floor, behind me is the open space

7. Wonder what’s that scrap metal doing there…

There’s a chair! Quite convenient!

8. Oooh… Nice view

That building is what we call the Turtle… I don’t hang out there that much…

9. That’s the Centree also known as The Centenial Tree, It’s over one hundred years old, It become one hundred at the same year (1998) we got our 100th independence day.

That area is also where we buy our snacks and hang out for fresh air…

10. Green… lot’s of green!

It’s hot at this time, I hope I don’t get a heat stroke.

11. Lovey Dovies…

12

13. LOL, told ya the chair was convenient! XD

14. The awesome chair!

15. Somehow I found another chair on that shelter and brought it on the other side…

16

17

18. I wonder what it’s like on the other side of that wall…

See the Jeep? Is it the same as from the previous picture? Not! It’s just the same model, there’s a lot of it going around…

19. Hah, the Volcano is now covered with clouds, unlike from the previous photos…

20

21. That hill, we call it the Sleeping Lion…

22. Entrance to Camp Simeon Ola and the Philippines National Police Headquarters

23. A satellite dish.. But not anymore. This was mounted on that scrap metal we just saw earlier… What a waste, Isn’t it?

24. Even the drum was put to waste…

Oh, there’s a ladder… Reminds me of Kamichu. Lot’s of anime characters go Emo on top of that…

25. Wondering where all the people went? Here! On the first floor!

I think these guys are all incoming college students…

26. Went outside… and saw this…

Saw them the other day.. They might be practicing for an event or maybe it’s just a workshop, I don’t know….

27. “Feeeeel” That’s what I heard…

28

29. No Chicks present… So I just took it from behind… XP

30. That’s the building where I was taking the pics

Still wondering why it’s called the Turtle?

31

32. Ha! That’s my friend, I don’t know what he’s doing… weird kid…

Was going to pay for the water bill, but after that I figured out that it might be a good chance to take some pics.

Okay, first behind me is the way to the Daraga Water District (where we apply for water connection). In that picture is the newly built commercial establishment, that’s where we are going to base our Starting point.

So let’s get it on! Iku!

2. So here’s the stairs going up to the Water Station

3. This is a long way up, it made me have cramps on my legs… It’s also too hot this day

4. Half way trough the top…

5. Another set of stairs. It feels like it never ends because of the heat, it takes more energy…

6. What the… It’s Gwapo (meaning handsome, it’s some silly nickname we gave to him), also from the water station paying their bill.

7. See the blue gate, that’s where the Water District is… Forgot to take pictures inside.. silly me..

8. Almost at the top!

9. At last! made it!

Was thinking where to go next, but I figured out it maybe a good idea to take pictures of the church

It’s 11 am-ish, it’s really hot at that time…

10. Took a picture of the town below

11. Here’s the old church… Haven’t been here for months or even a year if I remember… I’ve always thought they don’t close the front door…

12

13

14. Argghhhh.. The heat… Didn’t wear a cap nor brought an umbrella…

15

16. If you turn to your right side, you’ll see the Mt. Mayon

17. They say Mt. Mayon is the equivalent of Mt. Fuji of Japan.

18. We’re lucky to take a pic of her without completely being covered with clouds.

19

20. Another shot of the church…

21

22. Even the sides are closed…

23. That’s the Liñgon Hill, we live near that place… Hmm… I turned to the right and found a mysterious path way…

24. The pathway lead to this place. The structure in the picture is a Cell-Site, This is where we get our signals for our Cellphones…

25

26 Hm? I thought it was a dead end… There’s still a pathway? Let’s find out…

27. Turned to my left and found out about this…

28. Been living in this town for years, I didn’t know there was such place…

29. Followed the road… I wonder where this leads to…

30. OMG! Where am I?

31. Checking out….

32. Oh cool, A Tiger Cub.. Oh, I mean a puppy…

33. This… is getting interesting… Didn’t know there was such a place.

The path is so rocky, must watch step!

34. A way down?

35. What the? Some sort of a misplaced building?

36. Above is where we come from

Just look at this… We can reflect here about the economy…

37. Another long way down?

38

39

40. Oh cool, a road, I wonder where we are?

After that step, I became familiar already of the place… I really didn’t think that the path leads here…

41. There’s the building we saw earlier. I still don’t know where its entrance is…

42. Going trough that street is where we went down…

43. It’s the misplaced building!

44. Okay! Get on with the photo walk! Going forward would lead us to the same point we started…

45. This is the way up to the church…

46. At last! The same building we got off!

47. See the stairs. That’s where we climbed up. And on that street is where we walked going here. See the shadows? It’s dead noon! Hot!!!

48. On the other side of the building is the main road.

49. Crossed the street, It’s too hot on the other side…

50. Oh, vendors. There’s a lot more of them at the main market place.

51. See the trees? That’s were we took the picture of the other side of the building…

52. Jollibee!

53. Jeeps… They’re everywhere!

54

55. Jay Walkers!

See the road? Find something missing?

No lines!

56. This town is really dirty… One of the reasons why I don’t like walking around here…

57. The wet market

58

59. Somehow this reminds me of K-On!

I end my picture spree here.. I’m hungry and sweating all over at this point…

Just a little bit further is the new McDonalds, gonna eat there and rest. Ran Ran Roo!
