Out of nowhere, that line suddenly struck me. It was fascinating that it was as though someone invisible whispered it to my ear. And I was like, hmm I must have read it somewhere or heard it some time ago. Then, of course, I googled it, and found one article in Wikipedia.
I found out that this phrase originated during the time of King Solomon. When he wanted to challenge his most trusted minister to bring him a treasure ’so magical that when a sad man looks at it he becomes happy, but when a happy man looks at it he becomes sad.’ The treasure is of course non-existent. But when the trusted minister asked the merchant if he knows of a treasure like it, an old wise man engraved something on a golden ring, גם זה יעבור which means “this too shall pass.”
As Enya’s song “Only Time” says, “And who can say where the road goes, Where the day flows, only time?” Maybe time can heal depression. We just have to hold on. Because, this, too shall indeed pass.

cosplayed as lelouch lamperouge from code geass, newtype calendar illustration version to the event. i fell in love with his cloak the moment i laid my eyes on it. since then i kept flipping through my artbook every other days till i finally decided to work on this; though it wasnt really easy especially the spikey ends which took me quite a while to get them right.
it was quite a casual cosplay with no heavy props, no difficult to maintain hair style and no troublesome costumes. having cosplayed for awhile now, sometimes i do prefer to be in a more casual form then lugging heavy props around. because the lazy me wants to enjoy the event to the fullest, being able to move around freely, take random photos with friends and without worries about your complicated props and costumes while ‘patrolling’. however that being said, it’s still great to be able to show off your artisan skills to the public with your wonderfully made props and fancy dresses and of course for the love of the character you are cosplaying as.
took a couple of crack shots with my friends at the event and this below is my favourite. it was an idea by athensis: ‘the king and his 2 bodyguards’ – lelouch with okita and hijikata from gintama. there are more of these random shots we took, which you can find them at my deviantart journal if you are interested.

“私、変わります！変わって見せます！！” (“I’m Gonna Change! Count on the Change!”)
Heartcatch PreCure adalah season ketujuh serial anime Jepang bergaya Mahou Shojo “PreCure!” yang melanjutkan ketenaran Sailor Moon pada jamannya. Dalam season terbaru ini, kisah akan difokuskan pada dua orang PreCure (singkatan dari Pretty Cure – nama kesatria legenda dalam seri ini) baru yang harus menyelamatkan dunia peri dari sasaran Profesor Sabaku.
Adegan dibuka dengan pertarungan antara Cure Moonlight dan Dark PreCure yang berlokasi di dunia peri, setelah bertarung sengit, Cure Moonlight berhasil dikalahkan, namun sebelumnya dia telah berpesan pada Shypre dan Coffret untuk menyerahkan Kokoro Parfume pada orang yang tepat dan jangan sampai jatuh ke tangan anak buah Profesor Sabaku.
Ternyata adegan awal itu adalah sebuah mimpi yang dialami oleh Tsubomi ( tokoh utama pertama Heartcatch PreCure!) yang sedang menuju ke kota baru dimana neneknya tinggal.
OPENING SONG Alright! Heartcatch PreCure!
Tsubomi terlihat berjalan menyusuri jalan menuju sekolahnya yang baru dan sepertinya dia ingin menjadi pribadi baru yang lebih baik! “私、堪忍袋の緒が切れました！” (I can’t stand it anymore)
Namun saat memasuki kelas barunya, tetap saja Tsubomi menjadi pribadi yang pemalu, bahkan teman sekelasnya Erika (tokoh utama kedua HeartCatch PreCure) menggodanya karena Tsubomi menuliskan nama panjangnya dipapan tulis dengan huruf yang sangat kecil dan bersuara pelan.
Tsubomi tampaknya tidak begitu menyukai pribadi Erika yang blak-blakan dan SKSD (Sok Kenal Sok Dekat) serta bego, sampai-sampai Erika menyelonong mengambil salah satu lauk Tsubomi saat makan siang dan membuat Tsubomi sedikit terkejut + ilfeel. Tapi siapa menyangka bahwa Tsubomi dan Erika memiliki rumah yang bersebelahan. Tsubomi tinggal di sebuah toko bunga bernama Hanasaki Flower Shop, sedang disebelahnya adalah rumah modiste Fairy Drop. Erika yang begitu gembira mengajak Tsubomi ke rumahnya dan langsung me-make over Tsubomi, walau Tsubomi langsung pulang karena merasa kurang pede dengan penampilan barunya.
Tsubomi akhirnya memberanikan diri berjalan-jalan ke sebuah taman dengan penampilan barunya, dan disana ia kembali memikirkan tentang Cure Moonlight yang muncul di dalam mimpinya. Tiba-tiba Shypre dan Coffret jatuh dari langit dan menghantam wajah Tsubomi, tanpa panjang lebar berbicara Shypre dan Coffret bersembunyi di dalam kaos Tsubomi *dan membuatnya nampak berdada besar. Tak berselang lama, tiba-tiba muncul seorang wanita (Sasorina) berpenampilan aneh yang sepertinya menanyakan keberadaan Shypre dan Coffret. Karena tidak menemukan yang ia cari, ia lantas pergi begitu saja.
Sasorina kemudian bertemu dengan Erika dan langsung merampas Kokoro no Hana milik Erika. Dengan informasi dari Shypre dan Coffret, Tsubomi berniat mengambil kembali Kokoro no Hana milik Erika dari tangan Sasorina, namun Sasorina malah menemukan sebuah boneka dan menggabungkan Kokoro no Hana milik Erika dengan boneka itu sehingga boneka itu menjadi sebuah boneka monster raksasa! Saat bersembunyi menghindari serangan monster yang memiliki Kokoro no Hana milik Erika, Tsubomi bercerita tentang mimpinya pada Shypre dan Coffret! Tsubomi yang bertekad kuat untuk menyelamatkan Erika membuat Kokoro Parfume yang bersemayam pada liontin Shypre bereaksi. Shypre dan Coffret pun segera menyuruh Tsubomi untuk berubah wujud menjadi PreCure dengan meneriakkan PreCure! Open My Heart!
Dengan Kokoro Seed yang diberikan oleh Shypre, Tsubomi berubah wujud menjadi Cure Blossom menggunakan Kokoro Parfume!
Bersambung…
