* Toycon 2011 (Day1)

Toycon is one of the most awaited toy convention in the Philippines every year. What's special this year is because it is Toycon's 10th year.


I did missed a lot of Toy Conventions recently like TAGCOM but I told myself I won't miss this one. The convention doesn't only involve toys but also cosplay competition. Entrance is 100 bucks per day and the convention is during the weekends, early bird tickets were sold Friday to avoid the long line.


I have work the previous night from 12am-9am so after my shift I went home and rest for a bit then went straight to SM Megamall. So far this is the biggest Toycon ever because they occupied 3 megatrade halls. I can say i missed attending conventions and I was glad I saw a lot of friends in the event. Alodia and her sister Ashley was also their in the Maxicollector booth to have a meet and greet with the fans. Toys for sale and customized toys can also be seen in the event. I arrived around 2pm and took photos of cosplayers, friends and also the toys. I wasn't able to buy a toy this year. It was a jam packed event and a lot of people came in the said event.

* Toycon 2009 06.13.09

The leave that I filed around mid May for this day was disapproved, so I have no choice but to go to work at night. After Friday shift I checked my salary and because of my late's and voluntary time off, I got a low salary and it was Toycon 2009 meaning I needed to do some toy shopping.

I woke up around 11:45am, prepare then meet my bebe at Jolibee Pacita, we went to SM Megamall to attend Toycon 2009. Saw some new and old faces mostly photographers and cosplayers. Most peeps has face/gas mask as well because of the H1N1 virus. We arrived around 2:30pm at Megamall, meet up with a fellow PTK (Pino Toy Kolektor) member and get my sentai toys that I bought from him then went to Megatrade Hall then bought tickets cost 100php for the Toycon event. There's alot of peeps inside and it was so hot. We went to Maxi Collector and meet some friends there. I was able to take photos og cosplayers inside and outside Megatrade hall. Saw my friends Mark, Jade, Ralph, Miguel, Alex and Jervin in the event who are also taking photos and checking out the toys. There is also a cosplay competition that's why there's a lot of people inside the Megatrade Hall. Saw my officemate Wavs and my Neighbor Nico because they displayed their toys (exhibit). I was able to buy DVD's as well from CS Centrl. We just stroll around most of the time and around 6:30pm we decided to left the Toycon event and eat at the Food court. We ate at Oku and bought tempura and beef teriyaki.


We just slept in the bus because we are so tired, I went straight to work and my bebe went home. I was so sleepy at work haha as expected.

* X-Mas Toycon and Cosplay Event

It was really a good idea that they organized another Toycon since X-mas is several days away and at the same time include a cosplay fashion walk for the event. Me and my friend Mark went to SM Megamall to attend the event at the same time check the toys and take photos of the cosplayers.

We arrived around 3pm and took photos of the cosplayers right away, meet new and old friends in the event. I can say there's a lot of cosplayers and it reminds me of Cosplaymania08. Meet our friend Jervin in the convention too bad he wasn't able to charge his battery for his DSLR.


About the Toy Convention, entrance fee is 30php but few booths compare to the previous cons. I was able to buy my Gekiranger toys which is on 50% off.


I still have work at 10pm so me and my friends just ate first at the foodcourt then I went straight to work afterwards.
