MEET MY IDOL: Alodia Gosiengfiao

Alodia Almira Arraiza Gosiengfiao 



She is a Filipina cosplayer model and artist. She has been called the "Cosplay Queen" of the Philippines and recognized for contributing toward raising the profile of cosplay.


She started cosplaying in 2003 at the age of 15 by joining various competitions in Metro Manila. Her popularity began in 2003 when she won in an event called the C3 Convention in 2003 as Gun Mage Rikku of FFX-2. Since then, she cosplayed over 40 anime (wow! just imagine how many costumes she has and every piece were just so amazing), video game and movie titles, appearing in various local and international conventions as a participant,performer, judge or as a guest. 








She is one of the Ambassador and VJ For Animax-Asia known as the "Ani-mates", and the co-host of ABS-CBN's prank show called Laugh Out Loud. She also has been featured in various magazines, newspaper and TV shows locally and abroad. I really admire all of her achievements for she made it to create a name by her own.

             Wish I could have even one of those fascinating dolls and action figures 

ALODIA'S PET: TAKO (A Persian cat)
                                              
                                    (Tako looks so fluffy!! I want to touch it >_<)

                                               
                                          (Playing with those wires   so cute!!)


                            ( Seems like a failed camouflage by Tako =P haha)

I really don't like cats that much but I guess if its as cute as Tako maybe I'll start liking them =P

ALODIA'S DESK: Take a peak


She can fix some damaged simple electricals: yes you read it right!! Look

Her other hobbies:
                                   


                                               (designing her own costume)


                                         (sometimes she just drew to put herself into sleep)


                                                      (practicing white make-up)

                  (Do you think all she can do is to add glitters to her costumes and props? Look)
                                                  
I admire Alodia a lot because of her remarkable achievements in different fields. She was able to create a name and become well known locally and abroad. I think she have it all: Beaty, Body, Brain (agree?). She's good at everything I bet (just so talented). 
Aside from that we share some common interests like collecting action figures( but not as massive and as expensive as Alodia's collection), Playing the piano (we're both self-thought =P), joining poster making contest, making accessories or any art crafts (crafting stuff is my kind of relaxation and playing video games. I also love Cosplays though I haven't tried it yet. I'm just watching=P I don't have the guts to join yet  but soon I'll be able to overcome my shyness (cheer for me please =) ) 
These are my just hobbies (for recreation, to unwind, to express myself),I'm not forgetting my responsibilities I'll make sure to manage my time well and allot enough for my studies =)

The key to Success: Doing what you Love 
                                 and Loving what you do :)
