SO there I was, walking along aimlessly browsing at the cameras and lenses and whatnot for photography at the recently concluded Photoworld Asia Photoshow & Convention 2008 at the Glorietta Activity Center, when someone dressed as Hard Gay of YouTube fame passes in front of me. Of course my first reaction was… OMG?!
Next thing I knew I was surrounded by Naruto, a couple of Sailor Warriors, and there up on the stage in the middle of the whole convention was a Chaos Khrone Berserker waving his Chain Sword.
It meant only one of two things at that point: 1) either I was going insane because I couldn’t afford the cameras, or 2) I was in the middle of a cosplay!
Whipping out my cheap digital camera, I clicked away! Enjoy the photos!
Incidentally, our Chaos Marine was the winner of the cosplay contest of the Photoworld Asia 2008 Photoshow & Convention. Who, when he isn’t revering the blood god, is Guy Singzon from Laguna, who won a Fuji FinePix A900 for his faith.

You call this “cosplay”? Pshaw. Those are just people dressed up, but not acting, the part. There’s a difference. D:
