NEW CHAPTER & ATYCHIPHOBIA

Time passes really fast. My break will come to the end soon. This means that a new chapter in my life will start next week. What exactly I mean is by next week I will start studying again. New subjects...new lecturers...new classmate... Mostly all new I guess... Whether I like it or not, I still have to face it... Still remains as a part of my responsibility... right? Beside, I've got another 7 semester to go and I have to be strong mental either physical as well. Yah~!!! I'm sure I'll be just fine... Even though we don't know what will come to us, what's are the obstacles we will face this time, and pressures or challenges as well. So... I just have to think as positive as I can and make sure everything works in the right track... right? I'm sure I can... I'm fine with it... Yes~!!! I will let all the positive energy coming... ^.^

 U know what, I'd use to be coward and afraid with my own shadow long time ago. Maybe because I always face a failure in my life before and now I felt that the fear is coming back to me. Why? Cuz' my exam result will come out soon and I feel totally nervous this time. I'm not sure if I can really pass... Trauma on facing a failure seem to haunted me again. I hate to fail. U will know how it's really felt if u use to be like me. Pain and hurt. It's seem like I'm suffering with what we called Atychiphobia. Fear of failure. Hehehehehe. Nah... Don't worry... I always calm and give encouragement to myself.. make sure that I'm still standing and strong... I'm strong am I? Oh! Other thing that I want u to know is... I don't like to show my pain to anyone else. I felt bad if I let u know. I don't like any sympathy from all of u either... But it's not like I selfish or have a big ego inside of me... It just... I don't want u to felt bad and sad too. Let just I face it myself. It's not like I'm no-sharing-person...Well... I do share some of my problem to a specific person like my close friends and family. Even with my BF sometimes. It's not really what I mean...I just want u to felt happy when u with me... From that, I can be happy too and forget all of my pain. U know what i mean right? That's why some of u rarely saw me when I cry... Hope u guys understand... ^.^

BTW guys....

Wish me luck for my new chapter, ok?

And I hope that your life will be more fun & excellent too...

what ever it's take, make sure u will keep strong & positive to face it.... ^.^

COSPLAY


What is... COSPLAY?

Cosplay or Costume Play is one type of performance art in which participants don any costumes or accessories to represent a specific character of idea that usually taken from popular fiction in Japan, American cartoons, Sci-Fi, or even other popular cultures as well. For example, from manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai, and movies.

History of Cosplay

Cosplay is a term that originated in Japan but based on English words, "Costume Play". The term was coined by Nobuyuki Takahashi of the Japanese studio Studio Hard while attending the 1984 Los Angeles Science Fiction Worldcon. The coinage reflects a common Japanese method of abbreviation in which the first two moras of a pair of words are used to form an independent compound. 

 kosu (コス) + pure (プレ) = コスプレ kosupure

Cosplay can be divided into two parts:
  • Basic cosplay 
  • Masquerade cosplay
Both types of cosplay involve trying to physically look like the character, including speaking like the character, memorizing quotes and so on. Masquerading, or "The Masquerade," usually refers to a cosplay competition where cosplayers demonstrate their skills in creating costumes, putting on skits, and in technical matters.
