On March 20, 2010. There is no official anime or cosplay convention, nor strip. But for NCG this is the first event organized exclusively for NCG. Palimos ng Pag-ibig, a fund raising event by doing cosplay inside a mall. There were two venues, SM Megamall and SM Mall of Asia. And it was unforgettable date to remember. Since this is the guild's event, no big sponsors, no artistas, no lights and sounds, but just pure fun cosplay. The rule is just simple, just go around the mall and do cosplay and ask for some donation. And since cosplay is always a head turner, many people would really notice us and take pictures. Of course, there were some incidents of children crying because they see scary characters, but so far many loved it! 
Well since we were strolling inside the mall and getting attention, there were incidents that the guards there would shoo us away. Even though it may spoil the fun, we still continued on in walking, taking pictures, posing, and even talking to people since not everyone inside the mall knows the existence of cosplay.
Not all of the NCG members are in cosplay, they were the one who would assist us in our quest. Some did the drawing, some the photography, and some even helped in the make up. The most fun part is the picture taking and posing which lasted the whole day. And since it was a saturday, there were a lot of surprises 

When we were at SM Megamall, it seems at first that nobody knows why we are there. And also we were all new with our campaign, but what the heck! We continued on reaching to the 3rd floor and quite made a good amount. It was 4 pm when we left Megamall to continue the fun at the Mall of Asia.
The trip to MoA was very fun since we almost filled the whole bus! It seemed more like a field trip than a regular commuting. When we finally made it to MoA, we headed toward the bayside. It was dusk at that time but it also seems to be a perfect opportunity for us to again to do our move especially since we have learned from our experience earlier. We were stationed beside an airball play area which the sign says WOW BALLS!, thus the immortal name we are always discussing. Remembring that it was a Saturday, we are also surprised when the fireworks display started. Coincidentally, It seems like MoA is celebrating our arrival at their grounds. We did better this time since there where more people and we did not even moved out of our place. However, we again encountered guards when we moved to the fountain area and decided to end the cosplaying but not the fun!
We had some snacks and a lot of picture taking at that area. Even without the costumes, NCG members still catch attention with our poses. And just after an hour, we finally decided to go home with some are going to have more bonding at Decdec's house. It was very obvious for all who attended that it was a swell day, and all have one thing in mind: WOW BALLS!

next stop: PCC 2010!
