Viospace - All it took was to try
so handsome! *w* -photo by biomonkz
Hi, folks! It's been half a year of inactivity in this page. I'm very sorry for that... Ahehehe... Things got busy with TorCh and the RCC. Well, now that those are done~ (dusts off page) I think it's about time to get busy here once again. With that being said, I resume my most favorite portion of this humble weebly of mine! (cleans then puts on focals) Now... Let's see who we've got for this time...
Ohohohohohoooo~~~~ (fixes focals)
I would like to introduce Viospace from Singapore! BANZAI!! BANZAI!!! (unleashes poppers)
This avid Gintoki-lover and hardcore Gintama fan started out being an otaku who loves watching anime and reading manga. She always thought about giving cosplaying a try but was hesitant due to the fact that she was clueless on what to do and had no one to join her. Thankfully, a friend of her invited her to join. The rest, as you know, is history.
Vio's cosplayed a lot of characters through the years, and it's apparent that one of her favorite series, aside from Gintama, would be Vocaloid(well, it's a computer program, not a series XP) If you checkout her DA account(which you should check out later), you would see a lot of great pictures of Vio skillfully bringing her favorite characters to life.
(My favorites are Bossun and Sheryl Nome *w* ahohohohohoho)
Do continue reading so that you may know more about this lovely cosplayer.
I asked what makes Gintama great for her, and she said:
“I guess it is the humor and also the 'randomness' of the story. But I love it being different from any other series I have watched, it has got hidden storyline even though it is always showing random episodes. There are also very awesome serious and fighting scenes that makes the series even more exciting. Not to mention that I'm so deeply in love with the main character, Sakata Gintoki that I swear I will marry him if he is real. LOL!”

The first time I met Vio was during the after event of a Vocaloid event here in the Philippines. I got the chance to talk and get to know her and was very happy that I did. She's very colorful and animated, so don't be afraid to approach her because she's a warm, bubbly and fun person to hang out with. She's been to the Philippines around 3 times already. She's very impressed with the armored cosplays here because she says it's not a common occurence to see one in her country.
"There isn't a lot of armored cosplays in Singapore but it seems common in the Philippines to have a lot of armored cosplays at cosplay conventions. Which is really a big eye opener for me, especially when I see those cosplayers jumping around so freely in their costumes, I'm super impressed!"
Here's one of the things Vio loves in the Philippines!
"Haha! Food is really awesome and cheap! Best of all, the desserts and sweet snacks are really SWEET."
About her dream cosplay...
"To be honest I don't have any dream cosplay in mind yet, but I guess the type I would love to try someday will be armored lol!!"

She has a number of people she looks up to in the world of cosplaying. Wanna know who? Here are some!
"There are plenty. But the ones I admire the most will be Shizu (RainerTachibana) from Singapore, Jin (Behindinfinity) from Philippines, Kuryu from Japan and IKaguya from China.
Shizu and Jin are actually the main reason why I had the courage to finally start cosplaying. I always admire their effort in cosplays and loved all their works. I loved Kuryu for being passionate about the series she loved and bringing them out so awesomely via cosplay. Also, IKaguya has always believed that people should cosplay for the love of this hobby and not for fame. She puts in effort and love in all her cosplays and they are really awesome so I really admire her for this."
[do you have other hobbies aside from cosplaying?]
"Perhaps singing? But only in my bathroom. Haha!! I love sewing too actually, ever since I got into cosplay. ^^"

Beef Jerky is magical and her favorite treat to give her friends because..." It is always the first thing I thought of when I'm meeting my overseas friends. A must buy for them all! Most importantly, it is delicious and my friends loves them! Hehe~ Of course, I got my nickname from my piaya because of this too. /blushes/"
Vio's advice to people who would like to try out the hobby
" Be passionate! But always remember that this is just a hobby so do get your priorities right. Most importantly is to have fun and enjoy yourselves!"
and finally some shoutouts from Vio...
"Thanks to my family and all my friends for the support! I will continue to work hard on my upcoming cosplays! "
