I know I haven't used the journal for a very long time, I guess I don't like to write about me and my life very much, mainly because I would hate to become one of those people who post every single detail about what they do throughout the day, what they eat, who they meet, etc. Some people might enjoy to share everything and I guess that works for them but it isn't my style.

But since it's a new year already I guess I should at least post something about last year and my goals for 2012 or something... Anyway, last year was pretty good overall, I met new people, learned new things and got a better job, which was one of my goals for 2011. Ironically getting a better job for me wasn't as great as I thought it would be, because although it meant more money and more capability to buy cool stuff, it also meant a lot more hours working (I usually work now for 10 or 13 hours daily), less sleep, less time to have a social life, having to do something that's not even close to what I studied and less time to do anything remotely artistic (that obviously includes cosplaying and modeling). I hate to be one of those stereotypes since I can't say I hate my job, but let's just say that it's not something that I would see myself doing for the rest of life.

And I don't want to complain either, to me my current job is just the mean to an end, since my goal is making a masters course in special effects and to accomplish that I would not only have to pay for the course, but I would also have to move to L.A. which of course requires even more money. So basically I've been working my butt off to save as much money as I can to pursue my dream career (yeah, I know that sounds super cliché). And if everything turns out as planned I should be able to do it by the middle of this New Year.

Because of the lack of time last year hasn't been very artistically productive for me, as you guys have probably noticed. I have fabrics and materials for at least five new cosplays (the advantages of more money) but not the time to complete a single one of them, that's why this year I'll try to push myself to create and upload more new stuff and I guess I'm just telling you guys to force my lazy ass to keep the promise.



Anyway this is turning out to be a very long and personal journal (which is what I initially said I hate), so let me wrap it up by saying that I really hope you guys had a great time during the festivities and that I hope this new year brings you great things.



As always thank you so much for all the support, honestly reading all your kind comments is what keeps me motivated to pursue my goal :heart:

Hey guys!

I just wanted to let you know that I've a new Facebook fanpage, I guess I should've open it a long time ago but the whole idea of having a fanpage was just to pretentious for me (it still is), I mean is not like I'm doing anything of remarkable importance or changing the world to deserve having a fanpage, but the thing is that having over 2.000 people as "friends" was just getting to be very overwhelming.

You wouldn't believe the amount of nasty/creepy/sad messages I got, the amount of times I was tag on stupid pictures or cards, the amount of invitations to groups/events that didn't interest me at all and the amount of fake accounts adding me just to be rude (honestly some people need to get a life).

So because of that and many more reasons I'm going to close my current account and keep just the fanpage, again I don't love the idea but it's just the most convenient thing to do for me at the moment, hope you don't mind and you're welcome to follow me if you want to see more regular life pictures and updates that I don't normally post in here.

Hey guys!

I know it's kind of late to post about my experience at San Diego Comic con, but I was enjoying the rest of my vacations in the States so I had limited internet access, but now I'm back in Bogota and I guess I don't have an excuse to be lazy anymore >.>

Aywho, I had a great time at the convention and the overall experience was very overwhelming in a good way; I stayed at a motel that looked like something out of one of Tarantino's movies (I was kind of expecting to be murdered during sleep... Kinda :P), I got lost a lot (damn that convention center is big), I almost ended up taking the wrong trolley (apparently I suck at reading maps), I saw lot of super cool stuff that I can't afford to buy, for some reason beyond my understanding some people wanted to interviewed me and that made me so nervous that I ended up looking like a complete dork (seriously I'm glad nobody has found those interviews) and I never had so many people taking my picture in my entire life ;P

So yeah, that pretty much sums it up, but if you want to see a little bit more of my trip and see me without costumes or without barely any sleep (basically looking like crap) you can check out the gallery I posted on my facebook account: www.facebook.com/media/set/?se…

On another note I got interview by the awesome Mercenar (mercenar.deviantart.com/) for his gamekult blog and if you like to know a little bit more about me or my costumes you can check it out here: blog.gamekult.com/blog/mercena…


That's all for now but I also wanted to thank all those amazing people that I met at the convention, thank you so much for taking the time to come by and say hi, it was lovely meeting you guys :heart:

***ENGLISH VERSION BELLOW***

Lastimosamente ésta vez escribo para comentarles una noticia que me tiene un poco triste; como varios de ustedes saben he estado trabajando en un traje por varios meses y mi objetivo era estrenar ése traje en la Comic con de San Diego, así que trabajé muy duro y trasnoche bastante para poder lograrlo. Todo estaba saliendo muy bien hasta que anoche justo antes de mi viaje se rompió una pieza fundamental del cosplay y ya que no cuento con tiempo para arreglarlo adecuadamente prefiero no viajar con él; porque a decir verdad sería muy estúpido de mi parte dañar algo en lo que he invertido tanto tiempo, trabajo y esfuerzo por apresurarme.

Ya que mi idea era mantener el traje oculto hasta la comic con, y eso no va a poder suceder, no veo más motivos para mantenerlo en secreto; el cosplay en el que he estado trabajando es Sarah Kerrigan de Stracraft y aprovecho éste post para publicar algunas fotos de preview de algunas piezas: 0omrshydeo0.deviantart.com/art… 0omrshydeo0.deviantart.com/art… 0omrshydeo0.deviantart.com/art… 0omrshydeo0.deviantart.com/art…

Como ya lo mencioné estoy desilusionada por no poder estrenar el traje en el evento como lo planeaba, pero últimamente me sucedieron tantas cosas (tanto de carácter personal como técnico) que me hacen pensar que sencillamente no debía suceder. Y finalmente no puedo quejarme ya que después de todo tengo la oportunidad de cumplir mi sueño de asistir a ése gran evento y llevar dos trajes que también son muy queridos para mi (Morrigan, Sailor Pluto).

Así que por el momento disfrutaré lo más que pueda esta gran oportunidad y en un futuro (ojalá que no muy lejano) espero poder presentar mi traje de Kerrigan "oficialmente" ;P

***ENGLISH VERSION

Unfortunately this time I write to let you know about something that has me a little bit under the weather, like some of you guys know I've been working on an outfit for several months and my objective was to showcase it for the first time during San Diego Comic con, so I worked very hard and spend lots of nights without getting much sleep to accomplished it. Everything was going pretty well until last night just before mi flight today one fundamental piece of the cosplay broke and since I don't have enough time to fix it properly I'd rather leave it home, because it would be really stupid on my behalf to ruin something that I have invested so much time, work and effort just for rushing it.

Since my idea was to keep the outfit hidden until the convention and that's not going to happen, I see no more reason to keep it a secret; the cosplay I've been working on is Sarah Kerrigan from Starcraft and I want to take this opportunity to publish some preview pictures of some of the pieces: 0omrshydeo0.deviantart.com/art… 0omrshydeo0.deviantart.com/art… 0omrshydeo0.deviantart.com/art… 0omrshydeo0.deviantart.com/art…


Like I said before I'm disappointed for not being able to take the costume, but so many things have happened to me lately (on a personal and technical level) which makes me think that it just wasn't meant to be. And I can't really complaint since I have the wonderful opportunity to fulfill my dream of attending comic con and I also can take with me two outfits that are very dear to me (Morrigan, Sailor Pluto).

So for the moment I'm going to enjoy myself and in a close future (let's hope) I'll present my Kerrigan costume "officially" ;P

Yes, this year I'll be attending the great San Diego Comic con for the first time!!! I'm super excited and also very nervous since I've never been to an event of that magnitude, but being able to go has been a dream of mine and I'm glad to finally be able to accomplish it ;P

Also I'll take to opportunity to wear Morrigan, Eternal Sailor Pluto and a new costume that I've been working on for quite some time (hope to release a preview of it soon); I'm still not sure which one I'm going to wear which day, but I'll try to post a schedule in case any of you are interested in seeing any particular costume.

By the way do you guys have any advice? since I'm a newb when it comes to conventions as massive as this one, I would appreciate any help you can give me :)

That's all for now and I look forward to meet some of you guys at the con.
