JJCC Concert diary - PART 2

Hello everyone!

So I am back with Part 2, for the JJCC Concert Diary!
I only decided to write part 2 because it was a bit lengthy if I would have written it in the same post.

Anyway , I'll start from where I ended ...
After the Q&A that JJCC did , I definitely had an idea of what was coming forth.
There were three chairs put onto the stage , spaced out equally and the members walked out holding flowers. (internal screams)
So, they finally called the three lucky winners onto the stage and then had us sit onto those chairs. I was shaking, I'm not even joking right now. Even now , I feel chills by my spine.
Like... It was real! Everything happening around me was real!
Soon when we walked onto stage , they asked us to get our cellphones. I was already carrying mine , so i did not have to walk all the way down again. (lazy panda on a roll)

So Eddy walked up to all of us , handed us red envelopes and asked who our biases were and it started from my friend who said that her bias was E,co. After that, I freaked out cause it was my turn and I fumbled while I said E.co and Zica. Eddy probably did not hear me saying E.co , so he called out Zica and he moved to my side. The third girl who was to the right of me picked Eddy.
I got startled a bit when Zica got onto my side and said "Thank You for picking me", His English was actually so good and he was adorable too!

 I awkwardly smiled at him back and then they prepared themselves and us for a special stage and I internally died when the song happened to be "BE GOOD" (my fav song)

Zica was so adorable omg , especially when he asked me to give him my phone by saying "Open your camera? Selfie?" And he took two cute pictures from my phone. My phone kept locking itself up and he was so done with it that I legit had to tell him my phone passcode. (Yus People! The first idol to actually know my phone passcode!)

Please DO NOT REPOST it anywhere 

I awkwardly put B612 on by not thinking that the videos were put to only 3 seconds (BAH such a fool I am) This cutie took a video while he was singing and then he asked me for a selfie.
I have a problem of sweating too much and that too through my hair , so I told him that my hair is bad and Man... his answer had me die internally!
He said "Oh really? I think it look good!" and I almost cried thanking him -dies-

I actualy smiled for this one picture and it was worth it

I kind of felt bad cause I was being very Zica-centred throughout the performance but then , I honestly couldn't process anything on stage at that time. I look super blank in my photos too ~

Yul and Sancheong were too far for my phone camera to see them clearly and Eddy also moved a bit further later on (sad ;-;)
Simba then came and sat between my friend and I and I swear that cutie was about to derp for a picture and then it landed being like this. (told you I can be a degree holder in photography .also sarcasm)
Then , during E.co's rap part, He sat in between my friend and I and He even posed for a picture !
Honestly , I can rap to all of JJCC's rap parts but I was so dumbstruck here that I was internally dying and unable to process anything.

Please DO NOT REPOST it anywhere 

And then I filmed a bunch of more videos until the end and I was too overwhelmed to even speak by the time the entire thing got over.
If you'd ask the people who sat next to me , I looked like a snowman or a scarecrow literally standing still and frozen.


After the special stage got over, they did two final performances of their official 7 member song "Where You At?" and then "Fire" which literally got us on our feet and screaming our voices out.
The last performance for Fire literally caught the roof on fire!

And then , it was time for the actual ticket perks. They had a slight change on that day due to some reasons but it was announced that we would be having a fansign event and I was so hyped! We were also going to be having a Photograph each with the group (for the ticket type I bought)

It was a long time waiting for our turn because they had the Hi-Touch Event for the other ticket types and then the lucky winners there had a chance to take a selfie with their biases.
In the meanwhile I was fooling around on my phone and I also nearly faceplanted once by tripping on my own backpack.

After waiting for a while I finally got into the line for the sign event. We were asked to write our names onto a piece of paper and I wrote mine on my ticket and waited for my turn. As soon as it was my turn , I walked over to Eddy who was the first one and he wrote my name on the CD cover.
I then thanked him for the day and told him that the game was super fun. He recognised me from the game and thanked me for coming too. (i guess he was a bit tired then)
And then, the next one to go was SanCheong. He read out my name and then he flipped to the last page to look at the photocard I got (which was Yul's) and he pretended to sulk. I then told him in Korean that It was fun today and thanks for coming to India, to which he responded with a nod and a smile. (I basically said that to all the members)
Next was Simba , OMG Cutie Patootie! He stared right at me and then read out my name loud and right after I thanked him, He made this cute beatbox DJ Scratch (ft SanCheong) with my name in it. I was soooo hyped omg.
The next to go was E.Co who said Hello to me and recognised me as the lucky winner again. This time one of the event people told them that i worked on a fanart for a project for them (I cant share it due to it being confidential I am sorry) And E.Co said that he had seen it and it was good.
Honestly , I have never felt this good about myself while drawing and receiving a compliment from one of my bias group means a lot to me. He also complimented my Korean and I think he was a really really nice person.
Next was Yul , who firstly thanked me for the fanart project thingy and said that he appreciates it. I also thanked him by speaking in Korean and said JJCC jjang! (best / cool / awesome) which he actually wrote below his signature! I then bowed to him and moved onto the last , the bias who won my heart during the day .. Zica.
We greeted each other awkwardly and I thanked him for today and the special stage and I told him that he was really cool on stage and he has a great voice , to which he responded back in English and I was almost gonna burst in tears cause I was overwhelmed so I asked if i could shake hands with him and he did. I bowed to him as well and left to wait for the photograph.

After waiting for some more time , we waited in a line for the photograph. This was the time when my friend and I decided to take selfies while were waiting cause we both were wearing Mickey Mouse tops.
So finally it was my turn after a while and when I walked onto stage , my awkwardness made me forget to hand over the bag to the volunteer causing me to say "Oh Bag!" and one of the members laughing.
As soon as I walked onto the stage for real , the members (esp. Simba) began saying "Mickey Mouseee" and I was almost gonna laugh but I had to keep a proper face for the photo so , I stifled it.
I took the flower that Zica gave had given to me during the special stage as a prop (to cover my face basically)
And I stood between Yul and Zica!
The photo had to be taken twice because my phone is just plain stupid when I praise it a lot.
After the photo was done , I shook hands with Zica , Yul and E.co again and I left
Here's the group picture that I am gonna treasure for my entire life.

Panda / Potato-ing in between a group of idols (feels like a Manga)

After I walked out of the venue , I was too overwhelmed to even talk to anyone. My friends were so much more excited than I was when I walked out of the venue. They probably guessed that i was internally dying so they let me rest for a while, while waiting to wave JJCC bye while they left.

I then called my parents when I was right at the venue and told them everything in a duration of 9 minutes.
My Dad was like "I think you should try to breathe and then tell me everything after the event actually ends"

So the saddest part of this entire event was now here when JJCC walked back from the concert hall to the bus while all their fans waving them bye
(i shall upload a video of it later)

And while we waved them all bye , E.Co filmed it through his phone from the bus and he also dropped it. (feels this cause I drop my phone on a daily basis)

So after the bus left , We all left with a heavy heart and great memories made from the day.

I have decided that I am definitely going to go visit them for their for their events in Korea or Japan if it is during the time I plan to visit those two countries.

So That was my entire concert report in two parts and a wrap up of a great memory of my very first ever concert. Thank You to the event people PinkBoxEvents and JJCC for having us make great memories.
I wish JJCC good luck for their future activities and I will always be rooting for them.
Also , Please get Prince along next time!

ALSO GUYS
Do you remember the Chibi Fanart I wrote about!? I gifted it to them and looooooook
It ha been held by Simba!!!!

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST THIS , IT BELONGS TO A FRIEND

I haven't every felt this lucky and had such a wonderful day in the entire 21 years of my life and this is gonna be a precious day and stay in my heart forever!
Although my heart breaks to have returned back to Uni and continuing classes and schedule like someone pressed a freaking reset button in my life , but It also motivates me in a way to do well to be able to see more of the people whom I look upto and get inspiration from.

So that was all ~
Thank you for patiently reading through this post
I was actually having chills even while writing this

Bye Bye !

JJCC Concert diary - PART 1

Hello everyone!

Before I begin writing anything.. let me apologise for not writing things in an order but you will have an idea of how things are proceeding by.
And then, Let me tell you three things that i suffered from during the concert

1. The I'm ugly syndrome (well.. All pretty fan girls around me and I'm literally a round potato)

2. Awkwardness level 500 (likely to happen)

3. Got hit by a wave of reality that they were real. (I don't know what else I can call it)

It was my third day at Chennai and the city's weather was actually pretty similar to Mumbai.

My friend and I were making fan signs to hold during the concert. Being the tardy person I am , I rushed and landed up making only chibi faces of the members in about two hours and this is what my fan sign looked like.

I took it when it was still Incomplete

I then cut them out so that I could stick it onto the card paper later on at the venue and stuff. After buying the card paper , I kept freaking out about how screwed I was because I still hadn't started to stick anything (which I actually finished later on lol)

The finished product!

So another friend of ours accompanied us and then we reached the venue half an hour early . . .and it was surprisingly full of people. I first went to get my tickets verified and got them along with their signed copy of "Today". And a random photocard which was Yul's. I was excited cause my seat was in the first row and then I had also written my name for the lucky draw in which I would get a chance to play games with them! (Which I totally forgot about) The only sad part about this was that all my friends were in the rows behind and I literally had nobody familiar around me.

Taken After the concert but yeah.

After grabbing the tickets and albums , I hurriedly began sticking the chibis and names onto the card paper. Honestly , if it weren't for my friend who saved my ass... I would've panicked LOL

After struggling and struggling , I managed to finish it within 20minutes (which means lesser waiting..) and there were like 15 more minutes for the gates to be open. Since I was in an oh-so-social mode, I talked to a lot of people who were as excited as me to get into the hall.
Not only because it was hot outside but also of the concert OTL.

So we walked around for the bit until we heard that there were five minutes remaining for the gates to open. After a while when the gates opened , everyone rushed in. 

And I , got lost .. So I had to ask the gate attendant for the direction LOL.

As soon as we got in , the seats around me were empty and I was very scared as nobody I knew sat around me ... It got better when I decided to talk to the two fansite girls who were sitting next to me. Man , they had flown  all the way from Japan to here!

Jackie Chan's video messages to JJCC and his movie trailer was being played on the screen. There was still time for it to be 3:30pm , the time when the concert started.

Slowly , people started to fill in to the seats and the area around me was filled up.

There were butterflies in my stomach not only because this was my first ever concert , but also for the first row experience.

Meanwhile , I still kept gluing the chibis onto the card paper oops

I almost dropped the glue stick onto my fanart when I saw JJCC's silhouettes walk onto the stage and prepare for the first performance. 

The first song they performed was "Today" after which they had their cute introductions and trust me , I couldn't stay still because of the reality that just had hit me ...of them being right in front of me.

Credits as per the Watermark on the photo!

 After the intro they performed "Trauma" and then , they performed "빙빙빙 /one way"  and "Where is the love" . . .

BING BING BING OOOOOH 

I have great Photography skills , I admit it too.

And then they also had a special performance for the Bollywood Bop "Lungi Dance" from the film , Chennai Express and it was ON POINT.


PS: during the first lot of performances  sancheong winked at us and E.co gave our side lots of hearts and the members noticed my fan sign several times too .. 

(THIS FANCAM IS BY ME AND PLS READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE WATCHING)

Soon after that , the emcee walked onto the stage and announced that its time for the lucky draw for the games. I was still in my seat , struggling to stick the chibis and checking if they're not falling off.

Each of the six members picked two peoples names.

Brilliant Photography , Such Clear ...

The first one to pick the names was Simba, he called out my friend's name so naturally I began to cheer. And then the other members announced the names from the luck draw for their team. I was busy staring at their faces and also sticking my chibis until Eddy opened the chits he'd picked and called out the names. First , he called out my friend's name and then .....he paused for a bit and He called out my name!!!!! I literally dropped my fanart and confirmed if it was me like thrice until the people sitting beside me almost pushed me out of my seat. (My awkwardness made the members laugh ... Part1)

I walked onto stage awkwardly.. my teammate happened to be a very old internet friend of mine. Seriously what fate! 

As soon as I walked up onto the stage, I grabbed her arm and stood there.

I am usually very awkward when I talk to people I've met for the first time and all but Eddy happened to be someone I wasn't at all uncomfortable talking to. Maybe it's because he speaks English? I'm not sure haha! But he was so nice. . .

This game was basically like dumb charades.The team had to do 10 elephant spins first and then the members who's teams we were on , would act out animals which we had to guess.

.. Since there were six members, we were divided into half .

The first side was Simba , Zica and Sancheong ... While on our side , there was E.Co , Yul and Eddy (our team).

The winner of the first half was Sancheong's team , who finished it very quickly.

Then , it was our turn. Our team finished the elephant spins fastest so we started off early. It was a bit difficult for me to stand still cause I sprained my leg midway the spins. But then , since it was Eddy who acted out the animals it was super fast for us to guess and we got to the final round versus San Cheong's team.

This time , only the members had to do the elephant spins and we were cheering for Eddy. Eddy was real quick and then he started acting out the animals (this time three of them). My teammate and I were real fast in answering them , having us win the game.

I COULDN'T still believe that we won. Perfect teamwork. . . Eddy gave us both high fives and then we were told that our names will be called out after the other games for the special prize ... Which we had no idea of.

The second game was the three legged race and it was even more exciting cause it had my favourite thing , popping balloons.

All the members picked the names (this time only one person each member). It was Yul's turn when he picked a name which happened to be a similar name for two people. But then it happened to be a different person so she got a hug from Yul. (Lucky!!)

Man , Yul was like a flash in this game. I swear! His teammate and he were too fast.

Poor Sancheong already was sulking cause of both of the games 😂😂😂 

Soon after the game got over , it was the last round of lucky draw which was the Q&As. The members picked questions for themselves. There were a few questions that I remembered out of which one was "which member would you date as a girl?" and E.Co had such a hard time choosing the members, haha , Finally he chose Simba saying that he's a fun person to be with. .  . Simba's reaction was the best, though. He legit ran around the stage saying YAAAAAAAAAAAY
The best part was when E.co legit ran to a fan cause they weren't able to comprehend a question ah ah!

E.Co: Simba, I choose you!
Simba: Cannot believe it , so runs around the stage

Basically captured a historic moment of a range of expressions when someone screamed in a very alto(?) 

So , I would be updating more in Part 2 when I get time so for now this is all!

Thanks for reading!!

[FOOD TAG] Trying out Super Junior's Habanero Cup Jajjang Ramen!

Hey Guys!!

So I recently purchased a bunch of KNK and VIXX albums, with which I decided to try these out!
I came across certain products under the SUM x E-MART section.
(SUM mart and Cafe is owned by SM entertainment btw)
There were a bunch of other products under this category by the name of SM artists, but I decided to try out this jajjang ramen.
The word Habanero slightly put me off as I am quite unable to eat spicy food T_T However, this being instant noodles and me having been a student living in a dorm was something i could snack on!

It was sad how one of the packets was almost tattered from the top when i received it ... but then I had to open it anyway ~

I hope you guys like this clumsily filmed video and I am thinking of doing more videos like this in future ~

I seemed to have not cooked it properly, but here .. have me talking throughout the video

Summer Internship Experience

Hello ,

I just finished my summer Internship at ACK Media / Tinkle Comics today!
I worked as a Trainee Intern under the Art department for Tinkle Comics.

Sadly , The journey wasn't long enough but I gained a lot of knowledge and it was a wonderful experience working with someone who made the comics I read as a kid happen,

I worked on small parts for the July Issues 647 and 648. (check out those!)

This post is not really going to be about what work I did , but it is going to be more about my experience over there.
A lot of questions were asked to me when I told my friends  and family about the following internship. Questions like "Will you get paid?" "Why did you not choose something that pays?" "Why comic Illustration when you're studying Animation?"

Obviously , everyone prefers something that pays them. . . (well. . money is loved by everyone)

But I chose this because during this summer internship for college , experience was more valuable than money. Plus my area of interest being Comic Art , this Internship played a huge role in it.

One my first day , I was really nervous and scared. Already being poor in communicating with others , I had a lot of problem talking to the people around. First of all , I was very nervous because I was the youngest one in the department that I was a part of. . Being a college student , I am not very used to the fact of calling a mentor by their name. Normally , you'd refer to a Professor as Sir / Teach or something just not their name. But here , I was not open to the fact of calling seniors / mentors by name. Practically, this whole internship period played the role of a starting point to my communication skills. (Hope those communications skills won't die)

One more thing about this experience is that , the environment of the workplace is VERY different from your usual college environment. In college , You'd usually be under the constant stress of your peers and you doing the same work and get worried over the feedback that you would receive from the the professors right?
Over here , I was free from that! I got to look at experienced people from their particular field and it was of great help! Besides , getting a feedback here was the most important part. 

I take time to open up to people and within this short time period , it was surprising to see myself getting adjusted to an environment. Although I really wished that I stayed there longer because I was just getting adjusted.

There were so many new things that were unfolded in front of me! Right from script writing for a comic to the making of it , Drawing it from scratch. I had never expected to be able to see the making of comics like Suppandi or Shambu in front of my eyes.

Another thing that happened at work was, I got art freedom. I was asked to draw a Single Panel Comic for one of the sections I worked for and it had no restrictions. I was free to think and explore , unlike college work that has our imagination caged at times. Also , my love for Anime , Manga and Korean Webtoons was often questioned by the people at work. They kept asking if I wanted to be a Mangaka after they saw all the anime fanart I had made. There was a point when I wanted to be a Mangaka , but now I am still exploring an art medium and a style of drawing of my own.

This Internship had my hands firmed onto the digital medium. (Not Joking , My hands got firm on the stylus) I also learnt a lot about colour schemes , the colour study and even the process of how the old Amar Chitra Katha comics were made. There was also a chance where I got to talk to a veteran who has an experience of 30 years of colouring comics.
Now , you may feel that colouring is just literally colouring the comic in photoshop.. but No!
Colouring a comic is far more than just colouring it! It has an entire process~

There were a lot of times where I was frustrated because of the human figure sketches that I had to make until I got actual work. At the end of this internship , I realised that those human figure sketches were the reason why my hand was close to stable on the digital medium.
A lot of my peers worked on very huge projects , earning a jackpot load of money. My parents often brought that up, but I feel that this internship was still a very good experience for me on the beginner level.
I am glad I got to work for a great place like this!

[MERCH] Monsta-X 'Monbebe' 1st Gen Membership

Hello Guys!

THE JACKPOT HAS FINALLY HIT MY DOOR (or Dorm .. I must say xD)

The package for Monsta-X's 'Monbebe' 1st Generation Membership that I had bought for my birthday has finally arrived after a LONG wait.
I wanted to make a video for it , but I was really in a rush so I just have the pictures.
This may seem out of topic, but I really really must mention how DHL does a brilliant delivery. 

This entire membership package came inside a box. The box has a tiny slit where you can see your name and your membership number on it. Along with the MX and MB on it~

The colour is very pretty though~ navy blue and red and white (do I see a hidden fandom colour??)

Here's a messy picture of the box , ignore my jeans and socks in the BG

After opening the box , there is the opening for the card along with a cute message that says
THANKS FOR MY MONBEBE

 

This is so cute I am already tearing up.

And here is the main character of the membership package ,the card.

I'm so happy even on the card. (PS: I really love the Design)

The back part of it

Then , we have a message book along with two cards (one being a group photocard and the other is a card used for broadcast and recordings) along with an eco bag and a bottle. 

I was holding dem cards here , so .. sorry

TOP- Photocard ; BOTTOM- Broadcast card

The bottle was a plain transparent one , with their logo on it. I don't think I am ever going to have the courage to use that bottle because it's so pretty.

Not clear enough ;;

And here is the Eco-Bag / Mini tote bag. It's pretty and black in colour.

The fabric is HQ and it has the logo MX MB on it again. (I am very scared to use any of these omg)

The last symbol is a fusion of M , X and B making a heart , isn't that cute?

Lastly , The message book that came along with the package. It has cute photos of them with their handwritten messages in it. 

I could not really translate any messages but you always have external sources , so do check them out.
Also , Please ignore my hand appearing in the pictures.

SO CUTE

WONHO 

HYUNGWON (such neat writing)

MINHYUK (the prettiest writing ever)

KIHYUN

JOOHEON

I.M. / Changkyunnie 

SHOWNUBEAR

I am very sorry as I was only able to take pictures of the messages and not the photos, but I will upload them later if I can.
I really hope they'd have their lightstick out until the 2nd Gen Membership because that would be very cool!
For now , this was all.

[MERCH] MONSTA-X Seasons' Greetings / Calendar 2016

Hey Guys!!

So I recently bought the Monsta-X Calendar set and I have also done a very clumsy video of the contents in it. This is actually my first time buying an official calendar for a bias group.
I checked out unboxing videos for the iKon one and the BTS one , and then realised why they were priced more than this one. They included stuff like a DVD , poster and more stuff . (the Ikon one was themed).

I had ordered this with a bunch of BTS albums that my friends had ordered and my 24K's second Mini album so the pack came in a pretty tattered condition but thankfully , none of the albums or the contents inside were damaged. (the box for this was damaged a bit)

This package was roughly around $22 and it came with a table calendar and a planner (in the calendar) , A diary planner and 3 postcards.

As a student majoring in Design ,I must say that the calendar is well-designed. There are photos with a mini calendar on one side and a planner on the back side.
The photographs are wonderful . . not too vibrant nor too dull. I really love the pictures for April and the later months!
Plus I am a lover of the pastel tones , so this is a win.

Then comes the planner diary.

The planner diary is very simple. It has a calendar /planner inside and there are the Member's birthdays and the debut anniversary mentioned on the respective pages for their months.
And it's really cute how they haven't mentioned normally but have written it as "Kihyun Day" , "Wonho Day". (excuse my biased-ness)
Other than that there are a bunch of ruled pages and blank pages with around 12 pages of photos.

The three postcards have OT7 on them and they're basically the same pictures from the calendar.

This is actually my first time buying merch like this , and I personally think that this was pretty satisfactory to the amount I paid. Also , I do think I might buy the ones that are released next year!

So Here's the video I made for the calendar 2016.

Do let me know what you think of it. :D

Hello Everyone

This post is not something light like all my other posts on this blog, but in fact something that a lot of us might be suffering from on a daily basis.
As a student, I studied quite a bit about this in Psychology when I was in grade 12.
what most definitions would tell you is..

"a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome."

Anxiety is a general term for several disorders that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worrying.

It's far more than just worrying because it can affect a person's way of behaving and they can manifest real physical symptoms.

Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling, while severe anxiety can be extremely debilitating, having a serious impact on daily life.

Now I bet all of you who are reading this must have been thinking of why I chose such a sensitive topic to write about. . .
There are a lot of reasons to it, one of which being the way that people address these disorders / situations.
On a daily basis , you will see people who are often saying things like "Oh I was so depressed last night," or "I got social anxiety so I did not go for the family event this time". Just make a note that, Anxiety or Depression are not phases of life that you can use in the form of daily life words.

I have been suffering from anxiety since a very young age. It can vary from the butterflies you feel in your stomach before an exam to the fear of facing people when you've been forced to attend a social gathering.
Certain situations from school when I was really young have been great contributors to this. .
I have been suffering from anxiety since I was 11.
 Ever since I was a child, I wasn't very interactive. I often used to get sidelined while playing with the kids from my area or just quietly be a follower of the group.

I never really used to talk to many people until I got into grade 11 and then college, I stay in a dorm and from someone who is not quite acquainted with the art to talking to a many people, It was quite difficult for me to get used to meeting new people everyday.
At first, I used to have a lot of problems in getting along with my old roommate, until I moved into my friend's room.That too, had aroused too many trust issues.
College is obviously not a smooth route, considering it being an art college. Although there aren't many people in a class, it still is a bigger cause to the competitiveness around. All of these situations were caught up in my mind, having me have panic attacks on a regular basis.

Like the definition speaks, Before our exam . . I'd get really nervous and then either begin to cry non-stop or just sweat a lot. These are all symptoms, they do count.
My friends would often look at me and say "Stop thinking about it"  "Stop being a drama queen"  "You cry over the pettiest things"  "What's wrong with you!?" "You panic way too much"  and more stuff.

Well the thing here is, all of this is NOT drama!
It's anxiety. .

Around two months ago, my health was not very good and I thought I'd kickstart fresh once I am back from my semester break.
Things never really changed but for a week or two when I attended college like I usually would.. and then got a viral fever again. This viral fever stayed for a really long time.
A lot of my classmates just thought that I was faking my sickness to ditch class, which was not the case. After consulting a bunch of doctors, I went to this physician who gave me a good medicine. That too, had side effects that induced drowsiness and had me oversleep.
My eating habits eventually began to get very very messy because I kept skipping meals.
After all of this mess, I was okay by the end of November and attended the new class that was being going on this month.
I must have attended two days of that class and the pressure was real. I could have kept up with the class but I was still recovering and I had to stay up all night for the work.
The next morning , was the day when I had a major panic attack.
I don't know what had happened to me, but I had nobody to share this with. .  I did try sharing it with my best friends, but I did not know how to explain.
Normally they'd ask me to stop thinking about things too much but I wish I'd be able to do that.

It felt like everything in my subconscious mind was spilling out in an instant. Honestly, I've had complexes throughout my life. .  I don't really express them out , but everyone who knows me probably has an idea of it.
Right from my studies to my weight. i'm constantly worrying about it.
At that point, I didn't have a roommate. My roommate had moved out and I was told that I wouldn't be getting anyone until another two months. I did have friends, but they all had probably gone home or I just didn't want to burden them with my situation.

That day, I had a panic attack at 6am in the morning. I do not remember much of it but I regret that I tried to do something very very stupid that would have had a worse outcome.
I would not have gotten through this if it weren't my friend from the dorm who came to my room at 6am, waking up from her sleep just to answer my call.
I can't thank her more!

Comic Con Post and Mark Gatiss Sign Event!

Hello Everyone!

As you know , I had been for the Mumbai Film & Comic Convention MFCC 2014 and it was a great experience.
Not only am I going to update specifically about the Mark Gatiss Signing event but also the entire convention in short.

So , The whole thing was of three days and I initially had thoughts of not going on one of the days since it would be having very similar events but I was wrong. Firstly my friend and I were very hyped as we would not only be seeing people cosplaying as their favourite manga , anime , tv show or even comic characters but also we would enter a whole new world of new people with similar interests,

The entire venue was pretty small and the first day was empty~
We left really early to be reaching the singing event on time. The crowd seemed a bit faint in the beginning but then people gradually began to swarm up into the venue. I parted from my friend for a while , asking her to wait until my autograph session got over.
I had never imagined in my entire anti-social human being life that I would be able to make any friend by just waiting in a queue for an autograph session. I guess fandoms do bring people together. *cues all my internet buds* Also , the background of the place where we stood was very Who-Lock-ified

LOOK AT THIS

The Tardis!

So after what nearly seemed like an hour of waiting , We got to see Mark Gatiss. He looked too adorable in the pink shirt he wore that day -laughs-

This is what i could capture through that crowd standing in front of me.

So , It was almost half an hour since I waited for my turn patiently and then we were given tiny post-its to write our names on , so that it could be easier for him to sign over our stuff.
I had somehow managed to make a decent sketch out of the time I had freed for myself in the day before we left for home. I hoped that he would like it!

As soon as I was let onto the panel , I was very nervous when I approached Mark. He seemed very welcoming and even called out my name asking me "So , How are you doing?"

I legit stuttered while I answered him and I told him that I love both the shows. I then could see him chuckle when I handed over the fanart for the signature. (I bet it's because I messed up his nose!!)

I then , nervously asked him for a High Five which he probably misheard to be a hug and said "Nooooo" So I had to repeat the entire thing all over again after which I got a high five !
I walked out of the venue , very star-stricken.

A Happy Panda is spotted

A bunch of my College Friends cosplayed and I saw really really cool ones too!

There was a cosplay duo that had come from Japan and one of them freaking cosplayed as Sasuke from Naruto so professionally that we could not tell if she was a boy or a girl crossplaying.

I will promote a few of them here , but on permission cause I don't like mentioning names on the blog.

There were so many stalls , right from basic art necessities to apparels to action figures and merch and books and manga and what not! The artists' section was something I very keenly looked forward to and I also happened to meet one of my favourite ones!

Other than that , we ran into a couple of stalls that caught my eye.
Like this particular one right here.

Well Look what I ran into!

Holy Cow!

The overall crowd on the first two days was lesser compared to the last day which is probably the reason because it was a Sunday.
I was surprised at how some stuff from the stalls got sold out on the last day very quickly. (lesson learnt, call dibs on it as soon as you see it)
Plus , I really pity myself for not having learnt the art of shopping at a comic con.

Out of all of these , I managed to buy a Naruto Illustration Book and a Bleach Character book along with two Tokyo Ghoul Keychains and then some free posters and stuff illustrated by artists!

I won't really write much anymore but I guess this was my comic con experience in a nutshell.
Looking forward to the one next year!

Never really thought of cosplaying though -hides-
Anyway , Have a nice week guys!

Bye Bye guys!
