Made in Asia 3

I went to Made In Asia 3 after all. I was feeling so bad but thanks to  my precious puppy I got to go this year too. I seriously owe him so much. He stayed close to me and endured all  my fresh air and bathroom trips with angelic patience. I think he did not get to see everything he wanted due to me. Kind of feel guilty but still so happy I got to go. Arigatou times a million to my precious senpai!


MIA is making more progress every year. I hope that once they reach their tenth edition that they can start to compete with the conventions in other countries. Kind of a proud Belgian girl here. Perhaps they can also implement more Flemish content instead of all the French in there. Almost everyone who attends actually thought our main language is French. Quite insulting if you ask me, if you want to speak French then go to France. Hmph.


My beloved senpai was awesome at his first convention. He cosplayed right off the bat as my precious silverpuppy. I think he did awesome! He really looked great and I am a sucker for his pretty hakama. Not to mention he actually wore a wig the whole day which is pretty admirable. I couldn't do it...at all. I got to be the lucky girl in the Vampire Knight uniform by his side. It was really fun dressing up and my Mokona backpack was even carried for me. I'm sure Mokona enjoyed that very much. He better not get used to it. Senpai is deshi property for sure! It is so fun doing stuff together ^__^ I can't wait until the chains come off and I can be with him more.


As usual I died a little inside (in a good way) since there were so many cute and cuddly items. I am happy I was able to restrain myself. I really needed to save money so I can buy some actual clothing instead of spending it on plushies and cosplay items. I already broke my own rules by purchasing Mokona. Pfff...I am weak when it comes to plushies. I need something to cuddle when my precious is not near. I can't help myself. They also had a lot of manga and anime, more than last year. Unfortunately most of it was in French. I prefer English or English subbed, Dutch if no other choice. But French, I don't think so. I does not support the use of the French language within Belgium! Someone start a petition to ban it? 


The artists were pretty good this year. About the same level as last time but their prices went up a little. Nevertheless long live art where it does not matter which language you speak. There was one artist group named Belgian Cupcakes. I approve the name. I absolutely adore cupcakes, they are so cute! I always feel bad eating them x__x especially the cute little ones. When I am old I can maybe start creating my own cupcake recipes. Actually sounds fun. My favourite artist must have been the one who created this pretty aquarel-like asian painting thingies. I so want to get one of those to put on my wall when I get my own place. No use for them now.


There were also movie screenings, cosplay, contests and much more. Way too much to mention. I did spend some time at the MA corner which I usually just skip. Karate is pretty much the only thing I was interested in before but since my precious is an aikido/iaido/naginata/jo/istheremore lover I got to see a lot of martial arts. Was pretty fun to watch actually, especially when my precious joined the aikido session. He is so much better at explaining everything than the actual teachers were. If he ever has the ambition I would so push him to  open his own dojo. The naginata kata looked really nice too. They should open a dojo closer by so my puppy would not have to travel to Brussel if he wanted to join. Stupid locations...


So I ended up having a great time with my puppy ^__^ I'm sure there is much more to tell and share but I don't feel like writing a whole book about it. For me I just got to spend a lot of time with my precious which is something no one else could have given me. I cherish our time together so much so I hope he had as much fun as I did.
