[entertainment] Sherlock Holmes madness

Yey yey yey!!!  Sherlock Holmes madness! This is a shot from *july issue Candy mag.



Sherlock (TV series)

from wiki
Sherlock is a British television crime drama that presents a contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John WatsonSix episodes, broadcast since 2010, have been produced, with three more episodes scheduled to begin production in early 2013. The series has been sold to over 180 territories.
The show was conceived by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss during train journeys to and from the Doctor Who production base in Cardiff, where they were both writers. They aspired to produce a modern-day version of Conan Doyle's stories in which Sherlock uses the technologies that are available to him today in order to find things out and solve crime. Credited as co-creators, Moffat and Gatiss each write one episode per series, with the other written by Steve Thompson.Hartswood Films produced the series for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and co-produced it with WGBH Boston for its Masterpiece anthology series. The series is primarily filmed in Cardiff, although the production also uses a variety of other locations. North Gower Street in London was used for exterior shots of Holmes and Watson's 221B Baker Street residence.
Sherlock depicts "consulting detective" Holmes assisting the Metropolitan Police Service, primarily DI Greg Lestrade (Rupert Graves), in solving various crimes. Holmes is assisted by his flatmate, Dr John Watson, who has returned from military service in Afghanistan. Although the series depicts a variety of crimes and perpetrators, Holmes' conflict with his nemesis Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott) is a recurring feature. Pathologist Molly Hooper (Louise Brealey) assists Holmes in her laboratory. Other recurring roles include Una Stubbs as Mrs. Hudson, Holmes and Watson's landlady, Vinette Robinson as Sgt. Sally Donovan, and Mark Gatiss as Sherlock's brother, Mycroft Holmes.




It is on 2nd season now composed of 3 episodes (1 hour and 30 minutes) in each season. The story was based on the original book but modernized era. And they are sooo cool. I already watch it gazillion times and my brain still going overloaded with all the details in each cases. The actors really looked like the original sherlock holmes XD love Benedict <3




My lovely Sherlock Holmes book... I am really a Holmes fan since highschool (2006)




I also played Sherlock Holmes PC games! Ive played sherlock holmes vs arsen lupin and sherlock holmes vs  Jack the Ripper, and now I am waiting for the PC version of the Testament of Sherlock Holmes. This games also loaded with puzzles, clue finding , cases matching and you can control sherlock and dr watson too XD

[travel] places i remembered to take pics :)




Here are some of the places I have taken pics (or where I remembered to take pictures :) )


FANTASY WORLD

    A castle like place in Tagaytay , 2 hours ride from Manila. Great place for taking pics, however you nee someone with membership to that place. (Me and my co-cosplayers were happy that we will have photoshoots there, however the management misunderstood that we have our own costumes, they thought that we will rent their's. So we can only take pics with casual clothes, in which not in our plan. Yah, we didnt go inside, my co-cosplayers just went to other place and i went to megamall for ozine event. )






Quiapo Church

[cosplay] cosplan 2012



I have soooo many favorite characters I want to cosplay! Well to me, cosplay is an expression of art and love to the anime. Yeah, you could draw (well not all can draw as they say) this is how they show their appreciations to the characters they like.

Cosplay is not a hobby only for rich people, yeah there somethings you need to spend but there is the one called "RESOURCEFUL" . There is so much things and ways to cosplay on a tight budget. Just look around~
