Events: O-zine Fest Pictures and Recap!
It’s 2:04 AM and I just got back home from two killer events (Ozine and Alliance Guild EB). Talk about having a busy weekend! Anyway, I’ll tackle both events and try to give you guys as much details as I possibly can. O-zine 2007 was held at the Megratrade Hall in SM Megamall. The place was jam packed, and according to the General Manager of Otakuzine, Dennis Uy, they sold more than 4000 tickets! That’s 4,000+ anime fans and gamers under one roof, which kinda explains the very different atmosphere of the event. As soon as you enter Megatrade Hall 2, it’s like you’re sucked into a Shaider Time Space Warp. It’s like a totally different dimension because Japanese Music is blasting in the background and there are hundreds of people walking around wearing various costumes of anime characters like Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, and even game titles like Ragnarok and Pangya! Read on to see the pictures!
Level-up came up with two popular activation activities - the Ragnarok SUMO PORING contest and the RF Three-way JOUST Competition. Here are some of the pics that I took:

Of course… any Cosplay event wouldn’t be complete without Naruto Fans…
Headline: Young and Old Naruto Meet!
Level-up also brought our own cosplayer - behold the Perfect World Model - Jeyan!

Here are some of the other pics that I took…
Headline: PHEAR MEEE!
Headline: Coming this July 4, Transformers the Movie! LOL
Over-all I’d say the event was a success. My only problem was the hosts and the logistics. They didn’t have proper spiels and they at one point they became boring. However, things really picked up when the Cosplay competition finally began. Hopefully next year’s O-zine Fest will be bigger and better! Congratulations to Dennis and the rest of the Otakuzine team!
I’ll post about the Alliance EB later on :)

Heya Chino,
Yup it was a great event! Nakakainis lang yung mga host, medyo sabog and boring yung spiels. Sana nga you went. :)
