WARNING: This post shall be image heavy since I'll be putting a lot of pictures here and there together with my comments. Day 1 (Dec 22, Saturday)Got up at around 6:30am just so we can arrive at Makuhari Messe early. The train to Kaihim-Makuhari was jampacked.x_x; Maybe 30% of the people got off at Maihama station where Disneyland is, and 60% got off at Kaihim-Makuhari, the station nearest to the convention center.  Welcome to Jump Festa 2008!
 Wah! The sea of people!!!>_<
We arrived at around 9:40, which means we could've arrived at the venue at 9:50-ish, but due to the number of people going to the same place, we got there at 10am. The Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Stage was from 9:30-10 something, and that meant I wasn't able to watch it.:( Plus the fact we got the place wrong. The Jump Stage was in Hall 8, and we were in Hall 3, I think. The place was huge (an understatement). You can take a look at the official website to see how big it is. I think 3-5 World Trade Centers can fit inside Halls 1-8. Yeah, that big. Anyway, we just looked around, and saw this booth where for 500 yen you can get a prize from a lottery. I got the 3rd best prize but switched it with Klao's (hers was the 4th prize) since I'm not into Bleach plush dolls. I chose a handkerchief with the Gotei 13 printed on it, and looking at it now reminds me of our Bleach photoshoot ages ago.  Gotei 13 Hankachi
Then we saw the crane games which for 100 yen, you can get One Piece's Chopper plushie, or Gintama character plushies. I tried the 200 yen one, because the prize was a huggable Lambo plushie. I also wanted the Sadaharu one (from Gintama) but of course, I liked Lambo first so yeah, I queued up for the Lambo one. Unfortunately, after three turns, I couldn't get Lambo so boo me.:( We went to the cosplayers' area to take pictures, because here you can only take pictures of cosplayers in the cosplayers' area. There were lots and by lots I mean LOTS of Reborn cosplayers, then I don't know which has more cosplayers, Gintama or D. Gray-Man, followed by Bleach and Naruto. Seeing these cosplayers was a refreshing experience, because you can count on your fingers the number of Naruto cosplayers. Hell yeah.XD My favorite ones would be...  Tsuna, Hibari, Gokudera and Yamamoto (Orange Jumpsuit version)
 Is that Squallo? Ooh~ I dunno.>_< And of course, Xanxus.=P
Then we were off to the Jump Stage! On the way we saw the Marvelous Entertainment, Inc. stage (also known as MMV, the one who brought us the Prince of Tennis Musicals). It's a good thing we stopped there, because minutes later, the seiyuus from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! appeared!!! Wah~ I'm so happy~! There were the voice actors/actresses of Reborn, Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Ryohei. There was a time when Inoue-san, Yamamoto's seiyuu just said that sometimes he thinks he is Yamamoto, and after that Niiko (Reborn's seiyuu) accidentally called him Yamamoto.XD And there was a segment where they had to imitate Reborn's chameleon, Leon using clay. Hidenobu's (Ryouhei) was a horrible imitation of Leon (looked more like a mutilated lizard), the best IMO was Inoue's but Ichinose (Gokudera) won. He didn't make it on time so he just molded the clay into what looked like a hammer. Then he explained that Leon shape-shifted into a hammer. *sweatdrop* The Reborn part ended there, and the next was the Rikkai boys from Tenimyu. We didn't watch that, and I ate lunch instead. Oh, if anyone's wondering why I don't have pictures of the Reborn seiyuus, taking pictures was prohibited, especially when you're inside the audience area. I could've chosen to take pictures from afar, but the yellow jumpsuited guys (also known as Jump Festa staff) were everywhere and they were constantly reminding people to either go inside the audience area or stay away.^^;; There was also an event in the Aniplex stage. Really, the different booths had overlapping guest appearances so when there was the Reborn appearance on the MMV stage, the Gintama seiyuus also were on the Jump stage.x_x;; We didn't know about the Naruto seiyuu's appearance in the Aniplex stage so were arrived there when everyone was saying their last messages to the audience.>_< But still, I was able to see Takeuchi Junko, Sugiyama Noriaki, and the best of all KAZUHIKO INOUE in the flesh!!! *spazz* We went to look at the shops again, and this time we were able to see Junko upclose!!! She was in the Takara Tomy booth where they were promoting the Naruto game on Wii. There were no billboards with camera/cellphone and a big X on them, so yay for pictures and VIDEOS! Click here and here for videos.:D  Takeuchi Junko! Wii!!!XD
 The only other shot that's not blurry.x_x;
We also saw a Kon, Chocobo and Reborn mascots! Of course, we took pictures!XD Kon and the Chocobo were so adorable we wanted to take them home!!!o(>_<)o
 *glomps Chocobo*
 *glomps Kon*
 Now this makes you wonder how an adult can wear such a short mascot.x_x;
By this time, the event was going to finish so I'll just put the merchandise I bought that day:  Vongola Shirt (front view)
Why Vongole? Because the family name is spelled ボンゴレファミリー in Katakana.:)
 And back view
 Of course, I bought a KHR! 2008 calendar :D
Day Two (Dec. 23, Sunday)
Klao and I didn't go early this time. We arrived there at around 12:20, just in time to queue up for the Naruto Stage. Takeuchi Junko, Non-tan, Nakamura Chie, Kazuhiko Inoue and Kishimoto-sensei were the guests. The opening was awesome, and it gave me the goosebumps. They showed panels from the manga, but the difference is that it's like you are watching a monochromatic anime, since there were the voice overs by Junko and Non-tan, and the sound effects. It was so cool.XD For the readers of the manga, you'd all know by now that Naruto's shishou, Jiraiya died in the last chapter, so that was the topic for the event. Here are the winner lines from Kishimoto-sensei: Kishimoto: Iya, Jiraiya wa... shindeimasen... (No, Jiraiya is not dead)
Seiyuu-tachi + Audience: Eeeeh?!
Kishimoto: Naruto no kokoro no naka ni ikiteimasu. (He lives in Naruto's heart)
Klao and I wanted to snipe him then and there. “o(￣‐￣*)
After the Naruto Stage, we went to the original goods area to buy stuff. Unfortunately, the Tsuna mug and pillow and the KHR! Shopping Bag were all sold out, so I was able to get only these desk pads:
 Top: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Bottom: Gintama
I was so depressed I went to the crane machines again to try to get the Lambo plush doll. The line was long, and it took me almost 30 minutes before I was able to play. I used up all my turns and guess what?  Lambo GET!!!
Other stuff I bought were:
Even though my classes start at 1pm, I woke up early today to finish my paper in Eng 120.x_x"
Classes ended at almost 6. Uguu~ I hate Mondays. We have to squish ourselves in the train because it's sooooo crowded.T--T
The professor for the last class was sooooooo boring. But that's already given since he can't speak very well because the right side of his face is paralyzed. But to read his lecture like he was giving some sort of speech? Myuur. He said he was an ambassador before. Ok, that explains it.=_="
But... ureshiiiiiiii~ We got our relocation allowance + stipend for October today! That means I have 220,000 yen in my bank account!XD Wai~ I'm moneyless no more!XD Now I have to pay all my expenses before I can shop for my denshi jishou.>_<"
I'm also done with my research proposal!!! Whee~ \\\\(^O^)////
And lastly...
HAPPY 3RD MONTHSARY, TERRY~! <3
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
REYA ANGELA DE OCAMPO!!!
Sabi ko sayo eh wala akong regalo sayo.XD Tsaka...
