This afternoon, me and my classmates were planning to stroll the city and look for a cheap clothes and shoes in a thrift shop or commonly known as "Ukay-ukay". As we stretch one's legs, we went to the mall and grab some snacks and luckily we saw an event for the NAM. In the event, we saw different and various displayed miniatures starting from anime and game heroes up to DC heroes, sketches and paintings and also a cos-players. It was really mesmerizing and enthralling.
Each cosplayers really did well on acting and their costumes are lit. We can really observed that they thoroughly loves what they are doing and its a passion for them. In fact, we can see them smiling, very happy and having fun doing their acts even if their costumes, wigs, and make-up are very costly.
