Pokémon Rayquaza TCG Thing(?)

On Friday I made a trip all the way out to Lalaport Taipei to see the 15:00 Rayquaza dragon dance performance. I actually didn't know what the event was for but dragon dance is a regular and popular performance in Chinese culture especially around Chinese New Year, and I myself have performed in dragon dance before, so of course I was hype to see it in a pokémon style!

I really wanted to wear my pokémon fashion but it's very different from my regular style and to be honest, I was not feeling too confident in my look that day. 

The event seems to be for a new TCG launch!  The performance was unfortunately cancelled. We still took some photos with the setup there, but it was honestly disappointing. 

They did not give us a reason why it was cancelled last minute, but later the news did report a bit of the ceiling of Lalaport Taipei fell down that afternoon, so it may have been related. 

We went to the Pokémon Center for some pokémon goodness, but didn't buy anything. 

 I was also pretty uncomfortable in leggings. They're Magikarp and Shiny Gyarados leggings, but being fully polyester (prints are clearer or synthetics), they don't breathe well in the summer. Compared to tights, it felt much more noticeable. 

Have you ever watched a dragon dance performance before? It was only happening this weekend and I didn't want to make the trip out there again so I didn't catch any of the later performances. Hopefully it will return someday!

Bandai Namco Pop Up

Thank you to those who commented to wish my mother well! The first dose was a small one to test reactions and so far things have been going well~ The weekend was uneventful and I played Palworld all day haha!

Then yesterday I went to a Bandai Namco pop up shop and display. Despite being a Monday, it was crowded and lines were very long. I would have loved to do the stamp collection (get a postcard and visit different stamping stations where the stamps layer together to form a full image) but the queues!!!!

First Small Idol Concert!

 On Monday I went to a triple-convention (games, comics, toys) and happened upon some local idol group performances!  Originally we just headed over to some stage because it was loud (as in, the idol otaku were insanely loud!  Cheering with all their energy) and we were curious.

While watching a bit of whatever group was performing, Exo looked up the schedule on his phone and pointed out that the idol group of my favorite maid Lena from Kokorolia Maid Cafe would be performing later!  I decided I'd come back to catch her performance despite having zero interest in idol groups 😹 

Our group went for lunch nearby and then parted ways.  I was the only one to go back to the convention (which I shall post about separately) but I got lost trying to find the stage area again!

Being a bit late, I was not able to get close to the stage.  The space was very small and there were not many people, but I was still far back enough that all my videos are just of the back of people's heads 😿

 I also don't know if the video upload works on this site well... so good luck to me and you

Summer Fruits Afternoon Tea

 On Saturday we had our July lolita meetup!!  I hadn't slept well the night before so I didn't bother with hair/makeup at all haha.

Normally I coordinate this JSK with black, so I decided to coordinate with white this time!
