Toycon 2009

June 13 and 14, 2009. At long last I was able to attend another convention after almost two long years. It's all the financial crisis' fault.

There were almost 10000 attendees on the first day and a lot fewer on the second. I should say. There was a killer line to the ticket booth on the first day that lasted until after lunch. The two mega trade halls were packed. There were a lot fewer cosplayers this time around compared to the previous conventions.

Anyway, here are a few of the pictures that I have taken of the event. I wish I had a better camera.

From Bubblegum Crisis, I pressume.

Nice... Hell yeah.

Con-Ass

Constituent Assembly is one way to 'change' the constitution. Change is essentially good. However, in this case (Now, here in the Philippines 2009), there is somewhat a controversy. This is because all those in favor of the Con-Ass are allies of the current president of the Philippines. I don't have to mention that the current president isn't the best president. She's not very popular when it comes to accomplishments. The tyrant had more accomplishments way before he became the dictator.

How disappointing that Congress is pushing thru with the assembly. Even undermining the Senate. They (Congress) were voted to represent the people of their locality or the group they represent. But I don't think the people are well represented. I'm sure only a handful of people are represented by them. This is evident to the sheer number of people that are against their decision.

Now down to my own view of this Con-Ass. First, let's break down the term. 'Con' in Spanish meaning 'with.' And 'Ass' is self explanatory. Together, with ass. And with ass, there's crap. A big load of steamy crap. Actually, this is what I first thought of, the first time I heard the term.

There's a lot of things I would like to write down but unfortunately they are just too personal to write and show in public. I can't make a point if I didn't include names but I am avoiding direct finger pointing due to some… reasons.

Anyway, this is just a gist of what I think of this big load of crap.
