A Happy Birthday to the Founder of NCG!

This day is a special day for NCG as it would celebrate the birthday of the founder of the group, Alvin Domanais or more known as Palamunin Lang or PAL for short. Since he is the visionary and made into reality this dream, it would be right for us to give tribute to him. From simple greetings via text and facebook, I would also extend this bllog post for more people to know about him (just in case many would still don't know). Well, just another well wisher for his 19th birthday but this kid made a lot of difference to a lot especially to the cosplay community so it would be fit for him to receive this ovation . A certified brewster, otaku, cosplayer and  dubbed as "ang mataas tumalon".

Happy Birthday from NCG!

NCG celebrates 2nd EB at Ozine fest 2010!

The Nosebleed Cosplayer's Guild celebrates its 2nd Grand eyeball at the 3rd day of the Ozine fest. And on this day, on the facebook page it has passed the 1100 fans and still growing. So far, there were  more than a hundred member who attended for the event mostly in cosplay or costrip. Ozine fest runs for 3 days starting from April 9 which is a holiday. But there were members who attended the first and second days for the competitions and other events.

All of the officers were present to attend to the members as there were a lot of new members   who met the regular members and eventually are getting to know each other. However, due to the number of the members and the venue, finding a  space for the guild was quite a challenge. Unlike at TAGCOM and PCC that was held in Robinson's Place Manila, in which the venue provides ample space for the bags of the members, SM seems to be a challenge since there were also other cosplay groups that have occupied most of the space. But, the day was still very fun as it was NCG was interviewed by Stanley Chi from the Front Act Show.

The official NCG shirt was also distributed on this day for those who have already ordered. ans its still available up to now. Members were also active in the competitions like the eating contests, the group and the individual cosplay events. And it seems that up to this time, NCG is getting more known in the Philippine Cosplay scene as  it increases in number and also with the people who are connected with the guild.

The bonding experience at Ozine is still fun despite some few minor problems, the guild becomes more like a family as time passes by, and even after the events, members are still active on the facebook page which have more than a hundred posts per day.  The officers still keeps the order in the page and constantly reminds the rules of the page. So far, there is still no official event for the next EB, either it will be at the GO KAISHO on May 8 or AniCon, or Toy Con.

For this, stay tuned...

After TAGCOM last February, another cosplay event happens on Robinson's Place Manila Midtown and this time its more on cosplay. The 3rd Philippine Cosplay Competition is made for cosplayers in the metro as it is becoming the newest convention for cosplayers' in the first quarter of the year. The PCC consist on more cosplay activities and competitions as well as serving Anime Otakus and enthusiasts. Its the 2nd time this event happened in the same venue since the midtown section was completed 2 years ago. But it was very worth it since it is perfect for all kinds of costumes, either a big mech robot, or a kawaii school girl would perfectly fit in. It also provides a nice spot for photographers to make perfect shots with less lighting since sunlight would pass trough the entrance. PCC is always held in Robinson's which hopes to attract cosplayers who would attend cons held at SM malls. Though a new kind of anime con, the elements are very similar like cosplay, anime and bands which is the standard. However, PCC would be favorable like TAGCOM since there is no entrance fee which more people can attend and draws more audience since its just beside the mall entrance
The PCC would actually may need to have some time to gain a reputation as a major con since its very new and would need to have a very interesting feature that can attract more people. But since the cosplay  community is quickly pacing with an increasing number, this event provides a supplement in paving the way for the other Anime and Cosplay cons usually on the 3rd or 4th quarter of the year.

The Nosebleed Cosplayers' Guild is present at this event as it prepares for the 2^nd grand EB at the Ozine fest on April 11. And since the venue is the same like the TAGCOM EB on February, gathering the guild has been more easy though the number of attendees is less than those who attended the TAGCOM probably due to the date which is still a day for a lot of events like the Playstation launch at Glorietta and some students are either in school, gathering requirements or graduating. Nevertheless, the guild still had a good time in meeting the new members and also planning for the next cons to come within the year.

There were spotted new costumes for the guild members and the other cosplayers. According to a survey made within the guild, most of the members liked girl cosplayers as their favorites. Preparations are also in the works for the next EB and also for the official NCG shirts to be available. More things are coming for the guild as the major cons are fast approaching...I can' believe that its already April!

Next stop now is Ozine Fest!
