HERO Nation, I am disappoint.
ULTIMATE YOUTH GATHERING? Yeah Right. ULTIMATE YOUTH GATHERING MY ASS
Right from the moment I have seen the long lines that doesn't move, I am very sure that this would suck hard. And I was greeted by YoungGTO and I asked about the event, after that. I texted demfae to claim my tickets.
I went in the OOOOOOOOOOOOLLLTIMAAAAAATE YOOOOOOOOTH GATHERING err A.Venue Hall. The first person I saw inside was a bulky guard with a little poking stick. (By the way, I am brought myself a 1 Liter bottle of mineral water placed deep in my bag) Luckily, he didn't saw that. Next was another bulky guard but smaller, he took my tickets like a bossman and ripped it, and when I asked about the stamps, he said, "Dun pa sa exit" in a authoritative dickhead tone of voice, I stared at him then got inside.
The smell of barbecue smoke (or maybe weenies) and dim lights greeted me, at that time I already knew that this event would suck hard. I looked up, such spacious ceiling, and I looked down, and I see crammed with people with tall booths (I am looking at you CSCENTRL and the huge 8-foot freedom wall that I wished to write on but I was lazy to do so). I roamed around the convention hall, and my goodness, I can't even navigate myself around due to the dimness of light.
Come on ABS-CBN / HEROTV, we aren't even having a convention on a nightclub, at least have decency to use whiter lights, and if that wasn't your fault, at least, do something about it.
Carrying on, while wal--no not walking, while fighting for a space to move to, I was greeted by Jem (bubblepop), I gave her a slight nod and a "OOO!" to greet back. Then I walked around again to see something redeeming about this convention. Then I saw the Comfort Room, but I remembered that I don't need to go there, so I walk past that place. I left the convention hall. I went out to get stamped, and that guard hammered my wrist with that contraption of death...well yeah, stamp. I pierced another guard with a stare.
I don't get it, why does these guards looks like we are going to get torn in half? Why does these guards act like assholes (pardon)?
Then, I went in again for a second roam, after hundreds of people I plowed, I finally saw that tall guy, yes, Geneakizuki. Finally, friends, YuTi, and Sephiroth. We talked there for a while, then my Broseph arrived (BlackLotus), we had a long talk then went out to meet Mauie. Then we went in again. HOW FUN WAS THAT~ But before that, I left my bag with my friends, because my instincts tells me that these guards will find out my water bottle when I went in again.
Cosplay Catwalk Time~
Since the booths are so tall that you can't see the screen, BlackLotus, his brother, and Yours Truly went near the stage, and son... I AM DISAPPOINT, it was like Xzibit designed the stage.
It was like, SUP DAWG, WE HEARD YOU LIKE RAMPS, SO WE PUT RAMPS IN YO RAMPS SO YOU CAN RAMP WHILE YOU RAMP.
Moving on, I left near the stage after Andrew's (neonkenji21) catwalk as GekiViolet from Juuken Sentai Gekiranger. We went back to YuTi.
After many many many many hours of socializing with friends, at 9-10PM we left the con area and ate at Rufo's then we went home.

Even though I am disappointed on this year's Hero Nation, I hope next time would improve. But for now, I'll fly.
