MangaHolix 08! My 2nd Anime convention!

THIS IS IT! My 2nd Anime convention! It was Last may 31 was an awesome day! that I already planned my 2nd convention and preparing a long long time before, It was morning that I wake up 6:00am and last 2 days ago my older sister tells me that we should leave in the house at 8:30am and planned to stay all day at 10pm to 9:00pm, then we take the bus and we have 1 hour ride in the road so we came early in 9:53am. The convention was stablished at Mall of Asia in SMX, the location of Mall of asia was in Pasay City. Mall of Asia is the biggest Mall in Asia so we found the SMX building at MOA we saw a long 50 meter line of people waiting to go inside the convention. So we wait then people move so fast to go inside but their was no stand-pid at all while all people are entering the SMX building. Me, my little brother, my older cousin and my older sister plannede that we will go inside the Convention. The ticket cost 100 pesos in entre so the note is I can go outside but make sure that I will show the ticket when returning inside. I fully charge our Digital Camera so I can take pictures of costplayers with me in solo but the problem is when I take pictures with cosplayers all of my fellows will join so I only have few pictures of mine which is Im solo. We already got inside the building the building was SUUUUPER big I mean it was only a secong floor building but it was tall. It is 5 times floor to the second floor then the convention is not in the building but it is inside the Hall so meaning the building has only 4 halls and one is the hall where the Anime convention will be held. Atleast their are many securities inside to control the line so they teach us how to buy the ticket and how to get inside. It was done so me and fellows already buy a ticket to get inside so we already get inside the HAll, The second convention was awesome because everytime I get inside the hall I can receive Anime character cards and papers about the raffle. So here are the following pictures when I already inside. But 1st I will show the picture from outside to inside ok.

Where here at MOA at 9:47am

Will take a picture before we get inside because the mall opens at 10:00am so its still 9:48am

After the awardings of cosplayers we find Kahako from La Corda D'oro cosplay and she perfome her violin at the stage, but her hair must be in red and the skin should be white but her talent was supiror. But she didn't perform "Ave Maria" in the stage

We didn't finish the convention because the final was the raffle and the champion at cosplay contest so we leave in the building and my mother will take us home, We ride at the bus to my home town and I had and awesome day. My 2nd Anime convention was awesome than the last because in the 1st convention We only stayed at 3 hours and the place is too small but in my 2nd time the place is big and awesome. So here are some extra pictures I take.

My older sister and me at the bus

We didn't really finish the convention so the last part was their is a fireworks are around in the sky came from the SMX building

My items that I picked in the convention.

The 3rd picture are these stuff I take at the convention so I'll keep these as a treasure the following items are latest issue of Otaku magazine, 6 anime character cards, 1 mangaholix 08 ticket, YEHEY! guide and lastly papers from securities, Infact the 3rd convention will be in June but in June their will be classes. All I can say in my 2nd time convention alot of the people are friendly because you can simply ask them to take pictures with them even people who are not cosplayers but some are not. And the place was a half kilometer long and beetween 32 feet tall buliding was big and I can hang around unstead of small place and it gets boring at all. I wish time is faster so I can have some more memories as treasures.
