What surprised me were these two things that suddenly popped out on my mind when I was at the bus going home. "I want to own a car, and to have a billboard of me over there.." Can you just imagine that?! I mean.. that will always remain as a dream right?! I mean the billboard thing! C'mon! Reality.. hello! hahaha! Just to remind myself.. never did I wanted to own a car before and even to have a billboard of me hanging anywhere! So those were just 2 of my most surprising thoughts I had lately.
For the "MORE REALISTIC" ones.. I think, I'll be making a confession here. I've been idolizing "some" people lately. I've learned that these cool guys are really those whom I want to look up to. By just looking on to where they are now and to how successful they had become.. I'll bet.. You'll gonna say "Cool!" or "Wow!" to these guys.
Who i'm talking about are the Uy brothers, Dennis and Bryan, Gosiengfiao sisters, Alodia and Ashley, and Jehzeel Laurente.
Starting with the Uy brothers, Dennis and Bryan. I learned about this people way back 2003 or 2004 when I joined the Anime Club forum before. They were not really the one's I've became close to that time but I knew that these two people were somewhat the "Heads" of that anime forum. Years later, 2008, t'was actually last year when I first got to know them personally. Thanks to that Dorm EB, I happened to be "baptized" and be part of the group! haha! Now for you to know, they are the ones responsible of the longest running Anime Events here in our country so far!
Ozine Fest, AniCon, Otaku Taiiki.. all these events, which were also been covered with various tv stations like tv5 and channel V, were organized by these two cool guys and of course by the Otakuzine Anime Magazine which is one of the best leading anime magazine here and was also started by these two! And now they have a new one out, Otaku Vault.
Before I was just a mere fan and reader of their mag, but now? I can even talk with them, be with them, and a friend to them.. I even became part of the event staff because of them!
Next, Gosiengfiao sisters, Alodia and Ashley. Same as with Dennis and Bryan, I met them first on the same Anime Club forum way back. They were the moderators of that forum before. I even remember having some talks and chats with them there. People whom I didn't realized that I will be meeting face to face.
Picture I got at the White Hat Charity Event
They are now well-known on our country's cosplay realm. No one will ever get mistaken when someone would ask if who are today's Cosplay Princesses. I'm not going to dig into details anymore because I know that you know them already more than I know them. Confusing? haha! Anyways, you might be starting to call me a fanboy but here's the case, I admire them for how they do things from cosplaying, merchandising, became a model for young cosplayers, even got tv appearances, endorsements and a lot!
It was I think at the Schizen Orchestra Event when I first saw them personally. As usual.. they are one of the judges for the cosplay competition. But my most close encounter with them was when they attended at our Otaku Taiiki Event, where in I became one of the human barrier as they call it. haha! Just part of the job as one of the event marshalls. There I also met their mom which I also look up to. So humble and really kind-hearted. So maybe from there, we already know where the half of these two ladies came from! ^^
Now, its Jehzeel Laurente's turn. I dunno if I already seen this guy at Nuffnang's movie screening of Burn After Reading. I just can't recall, but I think I did when we're all in the line of going inside the theater.

He's just my guy when it comes to blogging. He's just simple, humble and yet so powerful and rich! haha! He's a web developer, freelancer, he does everything online so well.. earns online too! just imagine how many bucks of dollars are coming into he's account every month! or even every week! He owns a lot of sites, not all of them are for profit though, but all of these are so active! You can see it on their google page ranks! He also got some tv appearances and his blog got published on national newspaper as well! All because of his great job in the field of blogging!
And by the way! Jehzeel was nominated and is now one of the finalist for the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards! Please help me in supporting him and the other Filipino finalists win the awards! Please vote using the widget on my sidebar! Thanks!
So there! They were just so awesome, right? They are just really the products of Hobby, Passion and Hard-Work combined! I want to be like them and I want to be successful in whatever path I choose.
