Oh hay everyone!
How are ya all?
I'm sorry for not being very active in the past 3 months.
I had so much things to do and I went TOTALLY broke. Now everything is better, and I'll writing a little report on what have I done in my boring life.
After WCS and my trip to Japan I started my new school, Business Management (I'll later focus on International Business, mainly in Asia).
I was already one week late from school when I finally came back to Finland. So, I was very tired and I slept a few hours and went to my new school, which is on the other side of road, not so long way to school eh?
I kinda had a very good luck in apartment searching, again. I just booked some random apartment, I had no idea about Jyväskylä city nor where my school would be. The rental office was like "So, umm, don't you wanna come here and see the apartment first?" And I was like "Nah, I'll take it, I don't have enough time to get there". So I got a random apartment of 60 square meters, maybe 500 meters from centre of the city. And when I came here I noticed that... WOAH MY SCHOOL IS 50 meters from my home! LUCKY! >:D
Okay, so I went to the school. It's actually freaking huge. Went to main info office and claimed my business, which went something like this "Yo, I'm Elffi and I have no idea where I am and I think I'm one week late from school already". Info lady was laughing at me and then we somehow solved all my problems. So next thing was to find my class and classmates. Well it was easy. They had done nothing during the week I was absent.
Only some games on how to remember your classmates names... Blah. So now I got 30 new classmates and they all think that I'm weird... "Hello, I'm Elffi, your new classmate, I was in Japan wearing cartoon costumes which I make for myself! YOROSHIKU NE~"
We have had a few good parties though. One was these huge western themed checkpoint game where the WHOLE city was a playground! Over 1000 participants!
But our team drank too much between the checkpoints and we didn't win anything lol. Here is my costume .feat Willou.

But I was totally tired because of the WCS. Actually it took me 3 months to UNPACK all my luggages. I did it yesterday. After that I also cleaned my cosplay closet.
I didn't touch Deviantart or other Cosplay pages either. No I'm all better, somehow pumped up on my future projects!
I also made some updates on my Facebook Page, please check 'em out!
I'll be updating some photos and tutorials in there also, so be ready~

And I even made a TWITTER ACCOUNT yesterday.
Currently I don't have many friends there, so I would be glad if I could get some cosplayer to follow!
So poke me in twitter too:

We had a whole day photoshoot at a place called Sweet Castle. Basically some castle full of candy and sweet stuff for girls.
My Jecht cosplay hit right the spot! Sweet and fluffy!
