I know I'm spamming a lot of journals lately, but I have a lot of fun talking with you guys. I don't usually get to talk so much with you guys when I wasn't writing a lot of journals.

So today was Hetalia day. It's really United Nations Day, but all over the world today, hetalia fans met together and had picnics in celebration of the anime/web comic and world peace.

Today I went to the Toronto Hetalia day meetup. It was AWESOME, I'm so glad I was able to come today. I wasn't going to go before because there wasn't much information outside of facebook at all (and I don't like facebook, so I refused to get one), but ~Golden-Nightmare gave me a lot of info and directions to the meetup, so I was able to go. Thank you!!

Okay, so this morning I woke up extra early to cook a traditional cake from my home country Singapore. I've always called it Malay Cake (but it's much healthier than western cakes because it's only made from eggs, sugar and flour) but my aunt thinks it has a different name, but whatever. BUT IF ANYONE HAS KNOWN ME FOR A LONG TIME, my cooking is on par with England's in hetalia (I'm serious, I've actually set -easy mix instant- cupcakes on fire at halloween once, and spoiled every single thing I've ever tried to bake), so I was a bit nervous bringing it in. Anyway, I did bake it, and I didn't get to test-taste it to be sure it was edible because I had to run out and meet a friend of mine to go to the meetup together.

So I reached the horse statue at around 12:40, and there were a huge hetalia gathering already. We set up the picnic tables and I handed out slices of my traditional cake (calling it UK's cooking because it's true) but luckily a lot of people didn't seem to mind it and no one died (lol). THERE WAS NO JAPAN I WAS SO EMO, but luckily I wasn't alone and I Japan-gasmed with a really nice girl xD Then there were photoshoots where EVERYONE ran off leaving the picnic table unguarded (with a lot of belongings and bags left), so I decided to stay back (with the only Germany cosplayer) and guard the belongings. Well, it started to rain, so we went to a castle nearby to hang out.

We soon got kicked out because we were noisy or something, and we all piled outside and there was a wedding photo shoot happening outside. So then suddenly, most of the hetalia cosplayers started waltzing in a small square (CRACK PAIRINGS STARTED DANCING, LIKE AMERICA/GREECE) which was awesome <3 I then offered free hetalia sketches (which I drew a lot today), and halfway through I looked up and everyone were drawing (which was awesome!)

It got pretty cold so we went back into the castle where I filled more requests, then around 6pm we all paraded down the street to Fran's restaurant. We got so many stares from passerbys (and a random photo) because we were such a large group and most of us were in cosplay, plus China was carrying a gigantic flag. xD

When we reached the restaurant, we got split into 3 large table groups (I was at the asian tan table), and on the menu we cracked a lot of hetalia jokes (like ROMANO CHEESE and ALFREDO, not to mention fish and chips) and had a great time.

And while heading back home, we had an epic waving goodbye at the train station.


Anyway, my Hetalia Day was FABULOUS, and I was really happy to hand out free sketches (and received some <3 ) as well as make new friends! Everyone was so incredibly awesome and friendly, even if technically we never met irl. It was really cool to think that, today all over the world, other hetalia fans were celebrating with us as well in a similar matter.

I was disappointed that there weren't any Japan cosplayers, but it made me really determined to get a Japan costume out for AN (probably Black Kiku or his casual yukata)!


How was your hetalia day? What did you guys do?
