🇪🇸 ~ ¡Esto es parte de un mega post que tengo pendiente!, en 2023 se me presento la maravillosa oportunidad de trabajar con Movilnet E en una fecha bastante compleja de mi vida, en el sentido que cuando recibí aquella llamada inmediatamente quice decir que "si!", pero había muchas cosas que considerar en casa, esto no era como otras colaboraciones o invitaciones que he recibido y es un pedacito de experiencia que quiero compartir hoy.
🇺🇸 ~ This is part of a mega post I have pending! In 2023, I was presented with the wonderful opportunity to work with Movilnet E at a rather complex time in my life. When I received that call, I immediately wanted to say “yes!”, but there were many things to consider at home. This was not like other collaborations or invitations I have received, and it is a little piece of experience that I want to share today.
Aceptar invitaciones o colaboraciones es una gran responsabilidad y me encantaría dedicarle un post completo a ese tema, y sé que lo haré en un futuro próximo, pero hoy le dedico este TBT a ese par de horas llenas de expectativas y nervios, antes de que todos podamos acceder al salón principal del evento porque sí, asistir a un evento manganime es algo que se vive incluso antes que el mismo "evento principal" comience.
Accepting invitations or collaborations is a big responsibility, and I would love to dedicate an entire post to that topic, which I know I will do in the near future. But today, I dedicate this TBT to those couple of hours filled with expectations and nerves before we can all enter the main hall of the event because, yes, attending a manga/anime event is something that is experienced even before the “main event” itself begins.

Por ejemplo yo considero que hay 2 momentos "tranquilos" durante las convenciones, el primero es este antes de la apertura, y el otro es cuando el evento esta cerrando sus puertas y comenzamos a despedirnos.
Las personas que hacen fila por ejemplo normalmente son grupos de amigos y familia, si tienes algo de tiempo en esto siempre habrá alguien que grite tu nombre, te reconozca (reconozca el personaje) y quiera hablar contigo, ¡pero hey!:
Salir de la fila es un poco riesgoso asi que con los años aprendí a estar muy atenta y a hacer contacto visual:
Si alguien me reconoce y quiere conversar o tomarnos fotos, no tienes que salir de la fila, yo ire hasta hasta ti 🙏 💗
For example, I think there are two “quiet” moments during conventions: the first is before the opening, and the other is when the event is closing its doors and we start saying goodbye.
The people waiting in line are usually groups of friends and family. If you have some time, there will always be someone who will shout your name, recognize you (recognize the character), and want to talk to you, but hey!
Leaving the line is a bit risky, so over the years I've learned to be very attentive and make eye contact:
If someone recognizes me and wants to chat or take pictures, you don't have to leave the line, I'll come to you 🙏 💗
Me gusta mucho este tiempo donde todos estamos "esperando", hay una energía muy bonita en el ambiente y es el momento ideal para ubicar a algún amigo en especifico que quiza no puedas encontrar cuando el evento comience porque todos estarán muy ocupados o caminando entre la multitud en diferentes espacios o salas de la convención (existen muchos tipos diferentes de otaku y cosplayers y yo siempre he sido la que le gusta llegar temprano a las convenciones e irse tarde, ¡eso no ha cambiado en nada!).
I really like this time when we are all “waiting.” There is a very nice energy in the air, and it is the ideal time to find a specific friend who you might not be able to find once the event starts because everyone will be very busy or walking around among the crowd in different spaces or rooms at the convention. (There are many different types of otaku and cosplayers, and I've always been the one who likes to arrive early at conventions and leave late—that hasn't changed at all!).
Y como prometí al inicio del post, el pedacito de experiencia que quiero compartir hoy es que en aquel momento estaba real, realmente ocupada, apenas cumplía 2 años desde mi comeback como Cosplayer pero las responsabilidades de la vida adulta pisaron tan fuerte que ya estaba considerando programar un periodo de descanso.
And as I promised at the beginning of this post, the little bit of experience I want to share today is that at that time I was really, really busy. It had only been two years since my comeback as a cosplayer, but the responsibilities of adult life were weighing so heavily on me that I was already considering scheduling a break.
No solo se trataba del trabajo, mi querido Dante (mi mascota de casi 14 años y 30kg de puro amor) necesitaba ayuda para hacer muchas cosas y no podía estar solo por mucho tiempo, me había convertido en su cuidadora 24/7 y para salir debía ubicar primero un relevo y dejar medicamentos, alimentaciones, insumos, y una larga lista de instrucciones; tambien tenía otros animalitos rescatados en casa y simplemente dejarlos solos todo 1 día no era posible.
It wasn't just about work. My dear Dante (my pet of almost 14 years and 30 kg of pure love) needed help with many things and couldn't be left alone for long. I had become his 24/7 caregiver, and in order to go out, I first had to find someone to take over and leave medication, food, supplies, and a long list of instructions. I also had other rescued animals at home, and leaving them all alone was simply not possible.
También mi conductor de confianza había enviado su auto al taller y eso trastornaba totalmente mi logística. Este TBT es para recordar con alegría que todo salió bien, encontré ayuda para cuidar a Dante y solucioné a tiempo todo el cronograma para aceptar el compromiso, quiero recordarme mas seguido eso, que "sí puedo", y claro estas son cosas que el público o algunos amigos nunca imaginarían, todos tenemos situaciones personales y eso está bien, es la naturaleza de la vida, y yo celebro con alegría todo, las oportunidades, las reuniones, las personas 💖 La vida es buena y dulce, y todo lo que es para ti, a ti llegara (´• ω •`) ♡
My trusted driver had also sent his car to the repair shop, which completely disrupted my logistics. This TBT is to joyfully remember that everything turned out well. I found help to take care of Dante and sorted out the whole schedule in time to accept the commitment. I want to remind myself more often that “yes, I can,” and of course these are things that the public or some friends would never imagine. We all have personal situations, and that's okay; it's the nature of life. and I celebrate everything with joy: the opportunities, the meetings, the people 💖 Life is good and sweet, and everything that is meant for you will come to you (´꒳`) ♡
