Wonderful Memories

Hi, whats up!!

I'm here tried to be alive while dead inside bcs yeah, pandemic is not over yet and here I never go outside to meet friends almost two months. Gosh! I know it's hard but I can pull it out, bless my soul and I respect medical team who's the front liner against Covid-19. 

Here am I just try what I can do which is just staying at home. So, it's my second #doityourself costume for cosplaying in 2020. Hmm, if you asked me about my dream cosplay, may I tell you that's from Sakizo Ilustration's Book, which is really mesmerized my eyes and deep down in my heart, I wanna try to make one of the costume. Glad that it can be happened in 2020, which is in the middle of pandemic ^^;

I made this costume with the material that already set up in my crafting room, which is I don't need to go to the store for everyting. Ah, except when I go to the bank and back to home, I saw the shop that sells sewing equipment, so yeah buy something there cz you don't know when the time for going outside again. (P.S : I bought pantyhose from online store, cz I'm not really sure to buy it here in the Bali).

Wanna see another accecories ??

Here it's . . .

Tips and Trick :

1. Using a pipe-shaped object, to help you dye panythose and make lace trim on your thighs.

2. Be careful using a glue gun, I was hit by a heat attack because I was too excited hahaha.

3. Always pay attention to the details of the clothes, use some good references from illustrations or from other cosplayers. So you can get results that are very close to the original image.

4. Don't be lazy looking for things you want in an online store, because I found resin frames and oval resins in different stores. I even measured whether their size could be balanced when later put together hehe

5. use your imagination sometimes do something doesn't t have to be rational, like I make decorations on the back of a dress. I use nail polish and dry leaves so the results look the same as the sparkling with the illustration also the shape as well.

Red leather fabric - Added gold details - Recolor leather with acrylic paint (cz i don't have brown  leather). nail polish etc - Added Pearl - Done.

       Sailor Mars was created and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi in the Sailor Moon manga series. was known as Rei Hino (火野 レイ) as civilian identity and part of Sailor Soldiers. "I am the Pretty Guardian Who fights for love and for passion! I am Sailor Mars! In the Name of Mars, I'll chatise you!" — Sailor Mars' Stock introduction

         Actually, I can't imagine to buy something for myself and don't want to buy anything except to survive in the middle of pandemic. Here I remember about the cosplan I've been made in 2016 about Sailor Moon Series. Actually, there're five of us and I want to highlight that "i don't want to make everyone suffer here" and me just love to make a costume because doing nothing, stressed me a lot. 

        I added chiffon glittered fabric on top of skirt and sailor collar, because I need to make DIY of long gloves, the ribbon at the back also the choker. The materials I used here were available at my home, so don't need to going anywhere. (Except the white long gloves, cz i bought it online to match the material of the basic white costume and the red high heels).

Here's the footage of Sailor Mars Costume :

        First of all, I wanna thank the God and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan plus Denpasar City Social Service for help in the middle of pandemic. For me, this kind of program was really helpful for us (the lay-off workers) a lot. Yash, starting April 2020 I was lay-off workers and have no income ofc but don't worry, I still have savings to survive the next few months. 

        I see an article "Make Sure the Basic Needs of Food is Right on Target, Kasat Polkrat Denpasar Police Coordinate with Social Affairs" and it's written that : "In response to the Head of Denpasar Social Services I Made Mertajaya, S. Sos, MM explained, the distribution of basic food assistance was carried out in stages and spread in four districts by targeting beneficiary families (KPM), the elderly, disability, people in monitoring (ODP), PDP families, day laborers, lay-off workers, and laid-off workers". (Source : https://www.balipuspanews.com/pastikan-bantuan-sembako-tepat-sasaran-kasat-intelkam-polresta-denpasar-berkoordinasi-dengan-dinsos.html)

        I asked the person who helping the distribution of groceries at the office about the possibility of help for another lay-off workers like me and that Sir said that : "it might be help for them in the future. For today (14/05/2020) i see just a few of us who's in the list". Therefor, I hope another lay-off workers like me will get a help from the goverment as well.

"What is BPJS Ketenagakerjaan ?"

       Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) Ketenagakerjaan is a public legal body tasked to protect all workers with 4 social security programs. The Government is held responsible for and obliged to implement this national social security program – so as to provide social-economic protection to the people. The program is, however, implemented in view of the financial capacity of the Government. Indonesia, like other developing countries, is developing social security program based on funded social security. It means that the participants will finance the social security. In light of that, the program is limited to working communities who engage in formal sectors. (Source : https://www.bpjsketenagakerjaan.go.id/en/sejarah.html)

"What is The Social Service ?"

       The Social Service has the task of carrying out part of regional government affairs based on the principle of autonomy and the task of assistance in the social field. To carry out this task, the Office of Social Affairs organizes functions: Formulation of technical policies in the social field.
