Cuteness Overload: 1st Hello Kitty Convention in Los Angeles

Image
The moment I first heard that there will be a Hello Kitty Convention , my initial reaction was priceless! Then, I prayed that the venue will be somewhere in the United States so that I can attend. And, it was announced that the venue will be held in Los Angeles --- I jumped (3x!) and immediately browse for flight schedule available on October 30 to November 2. I nearly forgot to purchase the entrance tickets which is $30 per day, so my cousin & I decided to go on Friday which is October 31. But airfare during weekend is expensive so I arrived earlier (Thursday) and hangout with my longtime friend who is currently near in LA. I took the 10am flight going to Los Angeles courtesy of American Airlines. We arrived a bit earlier. Then, I took a cab going to Miyako Hotel (I spent overnight in Little Tokyo) and rushed to claim my badge which is just few blocks away from the hotel. I saw HK fanatics everywhere. The ambiance is exciting. The streets were filled with HK banners. I saw a HK ...

I'm here in Los Angeles for the 1st Hello Kitty Convention

Image
It was 3.5 hours trip from Chicago going to Los Angeles. My flight was delayed but we arrived earlier! According to American Airlines we will be arriving at around 12:40 pm but we landed at 12:35! My destination today is Little Tokyo. My first mission is to get my badge and check what's inside. I don't have much time inside so i just took some random photos. Better bring your $$$ coz the goodies inside are expensive. Have a lot of patience coz the line is really long even the penny stretcher had the most number of people. There are exhibits, workshops for everyone, sale goodies, photo gallery and a lot more. Expect a huge crowd. So wear something comfortable. Hydrate yourself and take a lot of photos for souvenirs. I got some to buy list but i cant think which one to buy first. I want something worth memorable. Hmmm. See you tomorrow. Its Day 2. Hello Kitty rules!

Is Hello Kitty really a CAT? Here's the catch!

Image
The moment you read this post you'll probably think where I am going. I might be in the airport or boarded or already landed. Take a wild guess! Before giving you an answer, here's what I read (latest) about my fave character. Is she really a cat or not? This issue became viral and everyone debated on this. The fact that she doesn't sound "meow" to us but looked like a cat? So how Sanrio describes her is she is a reference to a 'little girl.' Yup, she's not a cat. Hello Kitty has a pet cat who is Charmmy kitty, obviously a cat! Kitty White (her real name) lives in London apart from believing (I thought it was!) that Hello Kitty came from Japan because Sanrio is a Japanese company hehehe. She has twin sister, Mimi. HK loves red (but I used to collect pink kitties, lol) and enjoys baking and playing piano.

Blogapalooza 2014: Post-event write up and observations

This is the biggest Business-to-Blogger event in Manila , Philippines because they have invited over 700 bloggers and the venue was jampacked with brands pitching to bloggers on how they can score a "post" in blogosphere. [Read more of my posts about Blogapalooza in 2011 and 2013 ] Sadly, while researching for "Blogapalooza" I couldn't find a good blog post about the event. I was excited to read the updates since I was away and this is the only chance to read them. [gallery ids="9966,9967,9968,9969,9970,9971,9972,9973,9974"] Thank you to my friends and  http://www.jeffreylimbauan.com/ for the event photos Yes, with 700 bloggers who officially signed up, almost 5% on my estimation had a good write up about the event. I don't know why, maybe because: 1. There are too many brands , and they don't know which one to start with apart from giveaways and prizes they offer. Yup, there is some kind of contest which if your post is chosen, you'll r...
