I was honestly just trying to get a nice picture of my new book,
Besties, featuring the gorgeous
Solenn Huessaff &
Georgina Wilson... and I see this guy doing push-ups in front of us.
DAY 1: July 2, 2015
Color of the Day: Neon Green.
Before heading out to the convention.

| Anime Expo 2015 | Shinya x h.NAOTO |
It was actually another work day for me. I had an interview with super star drummer,
Shinya of
DIR EN GREY, and then I had to attend the press con starring him and
h.NAOTO. The picture was from
NOATO's twitter.
After that morning of work, we returned to the hotel and apparently I fell asleep and stayed asleep the whole afternoon... I was that tired. I guess the pressure when facing famous people is that intense, haha.
DAY 2: July 3, 2015

| Residence Inn LA Live by Marriott |
Breakfast for champions!
Color of the Day: Neon Orange!
Ready to perform for
CLUB LOLLIPOP at the
K-POP DANCE BATTLE!
 |
| Anime Expo 2015 | The Survey Corps Dance Team |
We actually head over to the community hall to watch The Survey Corps Dance Team's performance! We were a little late, but their routine was 30 mins long , so we still had a lot to see. But then again, there were so many people... it was hard to see! I wish they had a better stage! And oh, we met their director, dressed as AOT's Hanji, and my dance crush, dressed as Levi. I still get the feels! Teehee!
We then rush to the K-Pop Dance Battle and sadly, Club Lollipop didn't make it to the next round. The groups were more intense this year and we noticed that they prefer more hard-hitting style of dances. So, the sexy-style Club Lollipop is out the door. But it's okay, we don't focus on k-pop anymore actually and the same time, we don't expect much. We're just happy that they still picked us because there are apparently some people who weren't chosen or waitlisted. Being there is with such a talented batch of dancers was enough.

| Anime Expo 2015 | Fashion Show | Junnyan | Kimura U |
As soon as the contest ended, we fled to the fashion show. Yup, I had to cover the fashion show and we got really good seats, too! I was able to talk to
Junnyan again and meet
Kimura U after the event.
DAY 3; July 4, 2015
 |
| Residence Inn LA Live by Marriott |
Another hearty breakfast because it was going to be a long day. I actually spent all night and the time after breakfast practicing for my solo at the J-Pop dance battle. Sad to say again, I didn't perform the way I should and didn't place. Well, that happens when you get struck with stage fright. Yup, it happens quite a lot to me. Hopefully, I can perform better next time.
After the contest, I immediately went back to the hotel and took a long nap. When I woke up, I chilled at the pool. By midnight, we got ready to go rave at the convention.
Cosplayers at
LA Live! I've been so busy with work or contests, I didn't even have pictures with cosplayers!

I like the raves! The security makes sure there isn't any funny business going on. They also have bomb djs, music and go-go dancers! The fact that it is an anime convention, most people are dorks who are quite decent aka they don't dance with you or touch you without your permission, lol.
Sweaty but happy!
Day 4, July 5, 2015

| Anime Expo 2015 |
The last day of the convention and for the past two years, we never bother to attend. But since
Shinya had a panel, we quickly swam, ate breakfast, packed and headed to the convention center... We were surprised to see that Sunday was still crowded with people.

The panel was cancelled, so we head to the Exhibit Hall. I was too busy to go the past days! And have you noticed where I am? I'm at the next floor up, the VIP hall, which my badge allowed we to get in. I can avoid the crowd for a hassle-free experience. Can you find my sister? Haha.
