Best weekend ever + life updates

 

Sorry for going missing again! Life was kinda boring last month... But I just had the greatest weekend EVER! 

On Saturday, September 19th, Batman Day was celebrated all around the world! It was my thid year getting to celebrate it, as Warner Bros. has a special parternship with the town hall of São Paulo and free events happen every year. There were a few different events happening simultaneously, but the one I chose to attend was at Praça dos Arcos, Paulista Avenue. My friend Carol came to celebrate with me as she's a Batman fan as well, and it was our first time meeting each other in person too! 

As soon as we got there by 4PM, there was a DJ playing a great EDM set, the Michael Keaton batmobile and a few and amazing cosplayers. People of all ages soon made a huge crowd and I saw whole families in cosplay too! There were roller skating Batmen, electric guitar-playing Batmen, lots of beautiful Catwomen and even dogs!

The whole thing truly felt like a festival with the music and crowd. Carol and I jokingly called it the "Batchella" 

Later on, while we were on the line to get a custom made poster, there were quiz games and I happened to win one!!!  My prize was a puzzle 

Then after some time in the line, we finally got our posters! HUGE SHOUTOUT to the incredible team of artists who spent a whole night drawing so many people! 

At 8PM, the bat-signal was lit up!

We left by 9PM and went to grab some drinks before going home. So far, this was the best Batman Day I've been! It was A LOT of fun and it cost us nothing but the metro and train tickets!  And speaking on my way back home... I picked up the train with Scarecrow himself 

Now for all of the freebies I got, including "Batman of Two Worlds", a free comic book distributed on Batman Day all over the world:

 Eyemazing n°001, Icycheer M329 (dupe for Jewerich n°3);

 iGoodCo "Girls Power" palette;

 Bruna Tavares x Hello Kitty BT Velvet in "Candy Pink";

 SheGlam x Catwoman Jewel Thief ring highlighter;

 Make B. lip liner in "Nude Malva", MAC Viva Glam x Chappell Roan Air Lipglass in "Damnsel".

As for the outfit, I kept it simple because I was more focused in the comfort aspect as I would be standing up for hours and it was very warm that day too, so there's nothing particulary special about it and I went for something very casual! But the crop top and tracksuit (I ended up not needing to wear the jacket) are both Romwe, shoes and purse are off-brand 

On Sunday, September 20th, I met up with Carol again to attend our friend's Lira birthday at a karaoke! She was wearing a beautiful outfit with a BTSSB JSK and Innocent World blouse! Although it's not for me personally, I LOOOOVE seeing lolita fashion and my lolita friends all dolled up! 

We all had a blast at the karaoke! Lira rented a large room and we stayed for about 4 hours, and then we sung her Happy Birthday and had cake and pie! I was a bit mad that a few Japanese songs didn't all have furigana though. So I messed up a lot while singing "Heavy Rotation". 

Carol captured me mad at the lack of furigana lol

Doing the #Swaggerina when I was about to sing "Ain't in LA" (and this is how I found out that my cambré derriére is now completely dead after 7 years without taking any ballet classes).

After we left the karaoke, we paid a quick visit to Batman's Alley because there was another Batman Day event there earlier that day, but unfortunately we went a bit too late in the night  But we could at least take some cool pics!

And now for the life updates...

Well, I was fired from my job... 

To be completely honest, I saw that coming. Half of my team was axed due to a few changes in the company. But at the same time, I'm kinda upset that it happened now. I had a few plans for myself, I was dieting and following a strict routine as I'm a bit overweight, and everything went to shit after that. It feels bittersweet though, because I was afraid I was about to burn out. So at the same time, I wasn't sure for how much longer I could handle it.

In two weeks, I'll be traveling back to the countryside and stay at my parents' for a few days to clean up my mind a little and also go through some dental surgeries (wisdom teeth extractions, except mine will be a tad more complicated as those bitches are right under a nerve) before I return to the big city to start over once again. I'd be lying if I said I'm not scared. Fortunately, working laws in Brazil ensure you'll have just enough money for a while and the goverment provides you an unemployment insurance, but not for too long.

I hope it was all for the best. It feels so scary to start all over again but I'm trying to see it as an oportunity to find something better, with a better paycheck as well. So please, send me your best wishes of good luck
