Ever since watching Marvel's The Avengers, I duly came to realize that I've been missing out on a large chunk of geekdom in my life, which is: the geekdom of comic books. "The Avengers" opened a world to me which I knew would be vast, interesting, complicated, and perhaps more endearing than I have imagined.

So what are these "anime and hobby conventions," and why do people go to such events?
Well, people have their own, various reasons, but one thing's for sure: we go there to dress up and just plain have fun. :P
And what do we mean by "dress up?"
YES, it's called "cosplay." The term "cosplay" has definitions which people debate on and have evolved overtime, but simply put, it's short for "costume ladyraggedycathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04670859697906842944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351546432686667027.post-7831795210989962452012-04-23T13:52:00.003+08:002012-04-24T23:42:16.320+08:00[BEAUTY][ANIMAL WELFARE] April!

I do think we've reached this day and age when most people are starting to turn to organic stuff for health and humanitarian reasons.

Who said reds were just for Valentine's? It's wearable practically any time of the year... it depends on how intense you wear it, or how your mood dictates it. If wearing a red lippy makes you happy, then GO WEAR IT! ^__^

I initially planned to put up a blog with a hodgepodge of posts about my not so glamorous life and my interests, and I'd like to keep it that way. My only concern now is that I have a whole slew of interests ranging from geek stuff to cats and beauty blogging (I try!), so I've to devise a way of organizing my posts so that topics on them don't come as ladyraggedycathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04670859697906842944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351546432686667027.post-68867906863143828172012-01-24T03:22:00.005+08:002012-02-04T02:09:45.505+08:00[Personal] And After 3 Months...

Come out, come out, wherever you are and do leave some comments. xD) thought that I've abandoned my blog after not having an update for a couple of weeks... again.

Some would opt to trim their cats' claws or cover them with claw caps, but others--especially when their kitties get too fussy and cranky when getting a trim--would simply opt to let their kitty go, uh, au naturale.
