Oh.My.God. I can almost cry now! The Cosplay Chronicles has been selected as one of the top 10 finalist for the Singapore Blog Awards, Best VLog category!
“ Organised by omy.sg, a bilingual news and interactive web portal by leading media group Singapore Press Holdings Ltd (SPH), the Singapore Blog Awards honour tireless "new age wordsmith" who devote much time and energy in maintaining informative, regularly updated and innovative blogs, often out of interest rather than for personal gains”
Even though TCC is now considered the top 10, it won’t mean anything until she gets to at least top 5. So please help vote for TCC if you think this blog deserves it! It would be really awesome to see a representative for our favourite Hobby in a mainstream national contest!

You won’t believe how much this means to me.
Ploughing this blog is a difficult job. And many a time, the identity and position of a Cosplay Blogger just seemed so neglected by the rest of the world I ask myself why do I bother.
Being a Subject focused blog, and in this case a niche area, means I have significantly lesser audience than say a Travel, Culinary or Lifestyle blog.
And I’ll be honest, I have been battling many doubts regarding this recently ( thus my very depressed status update on FB). I know there are going to be people who will tell me not to compare and that this blog is created for fun and Cosplay is for fun so I shouldn’t burden myself with such thoughts etc etc.
But get it, I spend countless amount of time in front of the computer creating original content for this blog and Youtube. I go to events I personally might not have any interest in so I can bring the blog readers something to read/see. I force my Cosplayer friends to grace my videos and go through the effort of editing them on a slow machine so I can bring some Cosplay insights/entertainment to a bunch of people I have never and perhaps will never see. I take the time out while rushing costumes to take progress photos and share the patterns I painstakingly created with the whole internet. I know I’m not a very good blogger, but I think I at least deserve some credit for being so generous.
And all that giving is fine until I start the sinful act of comparing myself to other bloggers.
It’s sad, but I know that even at my best, this blog would still never garner as much attention as another blog with a pretty girl posting random pretty pictures of herself. Kinda unfair when we look at it this way but alas, life was never fair….
Phew, just updated my Calender of Events page with many new upcoming events! Go check it out and see if there’s any new /upcoming events that you might be interested in ^^.
If I missed out any events or there’s any Anime, Manga, Games, Cosplay related events you want to promote. Just leave me a comment at that entry or email me at Elpheal [a] gmail.com
I’ve been reading a lot of Mangas recently (actually just 2 lah, not a lot also ^^; ). And feel so much love for drawing coming back. I really ought to do something about that drawing dream I’ve always had. Ever since I started cosplaying, Its been thrown aside. Sometimes I really wonder how much longer should I/can I continue to cosplay? *shrug*
I have a shoot this coming weekend so my free time are all spent youtubing, reading mangas preparing for it. Wish me luck T_T
