Manifesto for the Philippine Cosplay Community
Sep. 11th, 2009 | 10:37 pm
Hi All,
As I would like to jump start the unification and organization of the cosplay community here in the Philippines, I have drafted a manifesto for the Philippine cosplay community which includes its mission, vision and strategic objectives.
I believe that these can be the foundation for the proper representation of the cosplay community . I believe that organizing the community now is timely so that we can use this to further showcase the artistic talents of the Filipinos, especially through international competitions and conventions.
Ranulf Goss
Organization Name
Cosplay Council
Mission
To advance and enhance artistic self expression through cosplay
Vision
A vibrant, supportive and peaceful cosplay community that encourages people to be part of the community
Strategic Objectives
To advocate and educate the public that cosplay is a healthy artistic self expression of an individual, and to defend the rights of such self expression
To encourage the organization of individuals to cosplay groups, and to maintain the identity and independence of the cosplay groups
To discuss cosplay related concerns and deliberate towards a united stand regarding such concerns
To represent the Philippine Cosplay community to external entities such as government agencies, schools, other creative industry associations, and to other countries cosplay groups, and to pursue collaborations with them that are beneficial to the local cosplay community
To ensure equal distribution of information from external entities to the Philippine Cosplay Community, and to escalate proper information about the cosplay community and issues affecting the cosplay community to external entities
To ensure equal distribution of information towards groups and group members within the cosplay community
Structure
To further uplift the stature of the organization, there would be an advisory council composed of representatives from the following entities:
Initial List of the Advisory Council
Department of Foreign Affairs
Game Developers Association of the Philippines
Animation Council of the Philippines
The representatives of the organizations above will have a say on the structure and policies of the Cosplay Council but will not interfere in the proceedings and operation of the council.
The advisory council, once created, will start screening cosplay groups that would want to enter the Cosplay Council. After a certain number of groups have been inducted into the Cosplay Council, there will be a nomination, debate, and votation for the Group Council Members, to be selected from among the cosplay groups that have joined the Cosplay Council. Once the Group Council Members have been selected, the representative of each cosplay group that has become a Group Council Member will be recognized as a Community Coordinator and another person from the cosplay group will take over as the cosplay group's representative to the Cosplay Council. The term of the Community Coordinator will be for two years. All Group Council Members are treated as peers of equal standing in the cosplay community and in the Cosplay Council.

Your result for The Social Persona Test (Version 2.5) ...
Lord of the Misfits (QLAM)
Quirky Liberal Alpha Male
Lord of the Misfits (QLAM)
You are similar to The Fratt Boy, in that you often try to take care of peers you percieve as less successful, but with the added benefit that you actually understand those on the fringes. You are a good ally to have, but people might be hurt if they believe your universal good will is a sign of a close friendship. You are nice to everyone, but you know who your true friends are. In terms of dating, you want someone who shares your interests; other than that, anything goes.
You are more QUIRKY than NORMAL.
You are more LIBERAL than TRADITIONAL.
You are more DOMINANT than PASSIVE.
When picking a date, consider: The Rarity (QTAF), The Renaissance Faire Wench (QLAF), The Librarian (QTBF), or The Emo Girl (QLBF)

Your EQ is 173 |
 Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar. Seriously though, your whole "Don't Worry, Be Happy" philosophy is really what defines emotional intelligence. You're warm, open, and very optimistic. You know how to act appropriately, even if you don't feel like it. You are a good communicator, and you have little difficulty with personal relationships - even when you're dealing with difficult people. In general, you are successful, capable, together person. You get what you want out of life. |

Got this from a website, following Clair's lead
This is Your Free Numerology Reading
This reading is based on —
Birth Name: Ranulf Jose Goss
Birth Date: 7/14/1977 (July 14, 1977)
Your Inner or Soul's Urge: This is spiritual and emotional expression more than physical. It is your heart-felt desires, your incentive, how you look at life. Here are your areas of personal satisfaction.
Number: 3
You respond to life from the heart. You want joy and happiness for yourself and for those around you. Inspiration and imagination are yours in abundance. You are somewhat of a dreamer.
Children and pets occupy a special place within.
You enjoy beauty, popularity, and constant activity. What you have is all you ask for.
Life is a game. You enjoy life as it comes, laughing at discouragement or failure, and never letting depression get the upper hand. Even so, there is a reticent side to your nature. You might be living in a world of feeling and emotion. You fall in Love easily.
You can see beauty everywhere. And you express your own beauty through your varied artistic talents -- painting, sculpting, speaking, decorating, acting, music, writing -- anything with color, form, or rhythm.
Seems you have a lot of friends; often entertaining, broadcasting your energy and your Love, giving everyone a good time. You are probably not unfaithful, but you enjoy flirting. You are kind and obliging. Your friends mean a great deal to you.
Patience and ability to concentrate could be enhanced for your personal benefit.
Your Personality: This is physical expression more than spiritual or emotional; your outer self, the way you express when meeting others. It may or may not be the real you.
Number: 7
You appear dignified and poised, intellectual, and somewhat aloof. When first meeting someone, you appear hard to know, but are friendly and a good talker when better acquainted. You emit a strong sense of self-knowledge.
While discussing familiar topics, you are convincing and appear at ease. However, in unfamiliar areas you can make statements you later regret.
Your personality gains when well-dressed and groomed; good style with straight lines and touches of color and sparkle, possibly of expensive materials.
Your Quiescent Self: Stripping away all outside influences, aspirations, ambitions, "shoulds", and "shouldn'ts" -- this is you when you are alone; just you and your dreams..
Number: 7
You have a cosmic connection with spiritual wisdom. The Ancients are no stranger to you. In fact, you share their knowledge. You are known for who you are, and people seek you out to hear your words of wisdom. You live in an old, beautifully restored house; your library is full of precious and rare books and your study is adorned with classic art.
Your thoughts and pleasure are meditation on the philosophical and spiritual wisdom of the masters of old.
Your Destiny or Ultimate Goal: This is your desired lifetime accomplishment. It is a key to a useful and happy life, and to feeling fulfillment during your latter days.
Number: 1
Your destiny is leadership. You come to this position through your own actions. Not by aggressive or dominant behavior, but by relying on your own inner strength, self-reliance, and determination. Your originality and your initiative can put you in a place of authority or leadership during your lifetime.
You have a healthy respect for individuality. You are innovative, and are often asked to lead, direct, and manage the affairs of people and organizations. When you have specifically defined and visualized goals, your powers of concentration and focus allow you to achieve them quickly and fully. You are happiest in the role of pioneer, explorer, creator, inventor, leader, director, chief executive, owner of any business, or editor of any periodical publication.
You wish to be left unhampered to carry out your own ideas.
Your Life's Path: Here are clues to what fate has in store for you. It indicates the type of encounters, events, and opportunities you are likely to experience along your physical life path.
Number: 9
Your path is philanthropy, loving service to the peoples of Earth. You are a humanitarian with an innate sense of idealism, tolerance, and compassion, giving up personal ambitions and possessions if the general good demands it. You have an impressive personality and power to influence others. At times you are somewhat naive in your anticipation of the joy you believe is coming.
Your spiritual sensitivity and holistic feelings for humanity encompass a wide range -- compassion, generosity, sympathy, tolerance. You have a vivid imagination.
You easily and joyfully serve your fellow man, tending to place others before yourself and give your Love, sympathy, help, and understanding without stint. You would like to see perfection in marriage, self, and the whole world.
Your opportunities are among emotional, artistic, and inspirational people, in fields that serve broad segments of mankind.
This Year's Path: Here is what you are likely to encounter this year -- your feelings, your predominant perspective, and the type of situations, circumstances, and opportunities you tend to attract during the calendar year.
Number: 2
Harmonious associations are very important for you this year. The year's success and good results will be obtained through diplomacy, cooperation, tactfulness, and good relationships. It is a year for receiving and sharing rather than aggressively pursuing your own way.
Your intuition and emotions are enhanced this year.
It is a busy year, with endless demands on your time. It is easier to work with others rather than doing things by yourself.
Your plans and developments may experience periods of delay. No need to worry about that. Things move slower this year.
The year can revitalize your peace of mind. It is a good time to strengthen your friendships.
Next Year's Path.
Number: 3
This is the year to express your inspiration, your imagination, your creative thought, and your deep emotional feelings. You desire to do more entertaining this year and accept more invitations. Take time off to enjoy yourself.
You can give color and warmth to all levels of living. Be artistic. Express yourself joyfully. Now is the time to follow those inspirational and imaginative ideas you are so excited about. Follow your desire for self-improvement; the year is rich with opportunities for inner growth.
It is a colorful and eventful year, with pleasure, opportunities for travel, enjoyable social activities, and entertainment coming your way.
Allow your abundance of cheer and optimism to guide you.
Last Year's Path.
Number: 1
More so than usual, you feel desire to move forward, to improve situations, to assert your individuality, and to get on with life. Reach for opportunities and they will come to you.
Life is beginning anew! Now is the time to put your best foot forward; to take up a hobby or other activity that will freshen your thinking and broaden your general activities; to look ahead.
This is an active year with many decisions to make. Your affairs are making a new start. The next nine years' experience will depend a great deal on what you do and don't do this year. It calls for strength of purpose, clear thinking, and listening to your inner voice.

Last two weeks I had lots of fun.
UGotGame Pro was a blast. Tired, hungry, and busy, am glad I was able to pull it off. Looking forward for the next one. Still have to process the video tape of the event tho.
Gamejournos launching was a blast. Sacha is kinda making sure that other people know that she knows me, and somewhat acting as my secretary. Clair then became the official photographer. Jac and Jonas had fun playing free games and free net. We met with the movers and shakers of the game industry, small but very influential group.
Am glad to see people mentioning me and wanting to work with me for game development. Am glad that they want to help out. I see potential in our industry, and am glad they see potential in us game developers.
When it was my turn to speak yesterday, I spoke from the heart. A lot of people were clapping and cheering. It was a surreal and happy moment. But even after the night was over, there was one more set of words that is music to my ears.
"I'm proud of you"
Coolness.

Yesterday evening, the weirdest thing happened.
It rained.
For all the days of heat that we're all encountering during summer, we had an outpour of rain. With lightning at that.
But this time, for the first time, I did not run away from it.
In fact, I walked thru it, with steady pace. I was not scared of the rain, not this rain anyway.
I have come to realize I had gone a long way from being the 16 year old boy that wanted to make games. I have realized that we cannot always have what we want, but rather do the best with what we have. I am not as intelligent as other people, nor as rich, but how did I get to this point where I am right now?
It's because I dared to walk on the rain . . .
- - -
I recieved a message , telling me that the story of my company , Slycesoft Games Development, will be published online.
- - -
A lot of people and companies would risk little, if at all for what I believe in. They stayed in their comfort zone, staying away from the risks. They stayed away from the rain . . .
Yesterday, I stepped on the rain, for the first time, because I have grown. The message above made me realize I was exposed, and the public eye will be on me. The rain of criticisms will fall down on me and the rain of questions and biased opinions will drench me.
Yet, I dared to walk on the rain . . .
And I realized how the raindrops are just raindrops and that they will dry up from the flame of passion inside me.
No matter how heavy or hard the heavens bring it down, I will be adamant and keep the flame burning . . .
For my beloved, my best friend, my close friends, my family, my company . . .
For what I believe in.

DLSU CCS Summer Camp, Com Sci teachers, etc
Apr. 30th, 2005 | 01:29 am
Went to the last day of DLSU CCS summer camp for 3rd year high schoolers, it was lots of fun seeing the potential computer scientists having lots of fun and being acquainted with each other. Even tho they had some simple tasks to do, they were given only a couple of days to finish their respective projects.
Am glad that DLSU is actually implementing game development courses soon. It's part of the main BSCS course already, hopefully it works well.
Sad news, SRDP ( student research and development program ) no longer exists in DLSU CCS. I hope that they revive it in the future. I personally would want to start it up again, but I think a Games SIG would be much more feasible in the short term.
Also, I read the response of Sacha to someone who is dismayed with the way computer science is taught in his own school. Here are some of my opinions:
-Teachers that are actually researching or doing some industry work dont have time to teach, but they really ought to. Their experiences would be much useful in teaching a hands on class or a practical class like programming and software design and development.
-I had teachers as very good mentors. Even tho I went to classes, I made sure I can spend time researching on computer related stuff am interested in. My mentors supplemented this with their own inputs and references. Thanks to them I was able to formulate my own research path.
-Computer Science is a pretty broad field, so each of us can focus on what to research. Schools provide us the foundation, but it will be up to us to learn beyond the four walls of the classroom. We all have to personally develop our own m4d l33t sk1llz.
-In school, grades are grades, but learning should not stop at course card day.
In the end, it is up to each of us to figure what is worth pursuing to learn. The teachers and the schools will be there , but it will always be up to us to go the extra mile.
Glad I have learned a lot and still learning now.

-Teachers that are actually researching or doing some industry work dont have time to teach, but they really ought to. Their experiences would be much useful in teaching a hands on class or a practical class like programming and software design and development.
-I had teachers as very good mentors. Even tho I went to classes, I made sure I can spend time researching on computer related stuff am interested in. My mentors supplemented this with their own inputs and references. Thanks to them I was able to formulate my own research path.
-Computer Science is a pretty broad field, so each of us can focus on what to research. Schools provide us the foundation, but it will be up to us to learn beyond the four walls of the classroom. We all have to personally develop our own m4d l33t sk1llz.
-In school, grades are grades, but learning should not stop at course card day.
In the end, it is up to each of us to figure what is worth pursuing to learn. The teachers and the schools will be there , but it will always be up to us to go the extra mile.
Glad I have learned a lot and still learning now.

Some highlights on the last three days:
Last friday I submitted my letter of resignation already. It was a bit scary since it is the first time to do it. The feeling was surreal and a lot of things was going through my head, being in here for almost six years. In the end they still want more time before they let me go, which am still ok for me to give. My fear of course is overwhelmed by the fact that am excited for the future.
Friday night, it dawned to me that i'll be taking the helm for this trip and I also had to chaperone some people ( you know who you are *wink* ) during the trip. The couple being together wasn't planned earlier, but I tried my best for them to be together on this trip, since my best friend requested for it.
Saturday, we went to club morocco early in the morning then went to subic to watch one of my employees bikini contest, it was fun watching both girls and guys performing on stage.
Special Note: The phantom of the opera song was used by one of the male contestants, some of us would never listen at the song the same way again hehehe
Sunday, I was woken up. Instead of going to the beach with my friends, I tried looking for a good place to meditate in. I found some rocky area near a few feet away from the shoreline, with a tree shading the rock. I knew already that I was in the crossroads of my life, that is why I wanted to reflect alone. Am really glad to spend a few moments there, even tho am more social now I still need some solitude with nature, trying to figure things out.
<<
I'll be moving on, from having a job, to living a dream. Am thankful for the people that were there to support my move. Am thankful they believe in me and my dreams.
I will be "in the zone" again. I will be "hyper" again. I have been given this chance , and I will make the most out of it to focus on what I believe in.
>>
In the end, I feel that the last three days was an accelerated course for life, for all those who were there. We learned a lot about each other, and we had lots of fun doing so. For me am glad we planned to go and almost everything went well.

Thoughts on the Piracy Issue
Apr. 1st, 2005 | 10:54 am
The debates:
Recently there has been a lot of discussions regarding computer game piracy in the Philippines. Here are some of my thoughts about it:
Some of the reasons why people pirate games are : it'a far cheaper than the original and its easily available ( some original games you have to import ). As consumers, we want more value for what we shell out, and that's why most of us think pirating games would be ok ( ever more so before since it's blatantly being sold out in the malls ). But the sad fact of the matter is that developers of these games don't get a single centavos for every game pirated, and we want to make sure that in the future game developers here will not be ripped off, either if they are well off already or they are just starting up.
Today, game piracy is being removed in the malls by the government. For us future game developers, that is a good sign of things to come, and we thank and applaud those people who are involved in removing game piracy. We hope this would continue, not just in the well known malls, but in every public place.
The Consumer Solution:
For the consumers, we would need to provide them with a viable option to acquire games legally and properly. True the games here are expensive, and with the malls removing pirated games from their premises, there is only two options to get games: buy an original one ( which is much too expensive for the common Filipino ), or go to the deepest darkest alley somewhere to buy the pirated games. Am sure both are not ideal choices for anyone. I have actually thought up of a solution for this problem:
Game rentals
When I went to the US, I can actually rent out console games. I can try to finish the games quickly given the rental time in the comfort of my own home. If this can be implemented in the Philippines, the consumers would be able to have a third option, to "try" before they really buy, and to also support the game developers. Besides, am sure a lot of gamers out there have stacks of pirated games they're not playing anymore anyways. Game rentals will get rid of the trash.
For the unavailability of some games, with game rentals we can actually petition the game rental shops to get the games for us, so in the end we would be able to get the games that we want, legally.
The Developer's Solution:
For the game developers here, I believe we would need to target an acceptable price for the games we plan to make for the local market. We should try to make more localized games, with faster and more efficient processes and tools. Open source tools would be very useful for game developers as this would reduce the production costs, which would also reduce the cost of the game for the consumer. Also, we don't need to compete with the international games, we would want to make games which captures the niche market of Filipino gamers.
Bottomline:
We have lots of discussions about piracy, whether it's right or wrong, etc. But the bottom line is, for most Filipinos, its their only choice to get games. We need to provide them choices. Feasible and legal choices, choices that are beneficial for gamers and game developers alike.

You Are From Neptune |
 You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability. You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea. Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion. You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone. If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything. |

Geek test results
Apr. 3rd, 2004 | 11:02 am
Got this geek cleassification from a test:
Mostly B: Iconoclast Geek
Like Iconoclast Geek Linus Torvalds, you don't kowtow to sacred cows. Although you are amiable, you stubbornly refuse to yield to the status quo. Even your fashion sense reflects your march to a different drummer. Because you are not bound by the conventions that hobble lesser minds, you are likely to envision -- and realize -- things that others could scarcely dream of. Combine that spark of genius with your ability to delegate power, and you've got a winning combination. One danger: the Iconoclast Geek may end up becoming an icon
Mostly E: Secret Anarchist Geek
Like Secret Anarchist Geek Grace Hopper, you wear many hats and are one of those rare people who manages to keep all the balls in the air sucessfully. Part of that comes from your ability to sell your ideas successfully. When it comes to hardware, threads of code, or personnel, you believe in that old saying "many hands make quick work." You have little patience for those who see the glass half empty and prefer to fill your team with optimists. Not only do you think outside the box, you don't even have a clue what the box looks like. Your irreverent sense of humor, quick wit and intelligence makes you the perfect late-night talk show guest.

Got this from a Personality survey
Mar. 18th, 2004 | 05:38 pm
Ki System
Natal Year number: 5
Although Ranulf at heart suffers from a sense of insecurity, he nevertheless portrays a confident yet sympathetic exterior to the outside world that enables him to get along well with other people. Indeed even though he is not really a team player, he is likely to reach a position of authority because he enjoys the strength of independent thought upon which others can rely.
Natal Month number: 7
Ranulf is a good communicator and enjoys discussion, but he will avoid stressful situations and arguments. He is a fund of new ideas that spill from his active brain with great rapidity, but his business dealings will always be constrained by his desire to be liked. He therefore lacks those long-term goals that would bring him prosperity.
Natal House number: 3
With a high energy level, and ambitions to match, Ranulf will show early promise. Unless his tendency to expel this energy on too many projects can be overcome, a promising beginning may soon evaporate, giving way to anger and frustration. Ranulf is someone who enjoys a good time with an active social life, and needs the direction of more sober minds.
Comments based on Western Grid
11
Ranulf is a balanced individual who can understand and appreciate the views of others as well as his own. He can express himself fluently, and with persuasive conviction, whilst taking account of opposing views. This means that Ranulf will get on very well with colleagues at work, both senior and junior, as well as clients, customers, suppliers and external agencies.
4
A practical individual, Ranulf is a neat and tidy craftsman who can organise others to achieve his plans. He should use those practical skills and organisational ability in an office management, or secretarial function, or by applying such skills to self-employment. In general, Ranulf is a neat and tidy individual - qualities of value to many different jobs.
777
Suffering major losses in life (of loved ones, health or possessions) Ranulf is (in time) likely to lead a lonely introverted existence in which he will question his philosophy and the meaning of life. However, Ranulf is likely to grow stronger in the face of adversity, and pursue his aims with renewed vigour. It would help to have a 4 (in the Western Grid) or the Arrow of Determination (the numbers 1, 5 and 9).
9
Ambitious to improve his lot, Ranulf will constantly push forward to achieve something in his life, yet this ambition will be balanced by humanitarian ideals that will lead him to support causes that may demand self-sacrifice.
[The Arrow of Emotional Sensitivity: lacking the numbers 2, 5 and 8] Acutely sensitive, Ranulf is easily hurt and as a consequence has learnt to hide his feelings. Likely to suffer from an inferiority complex, he is very supportive of others who need his help. Consequently Ranulf is best employed helping others, and in such an environment, he will shine.
[The Arrow of Practicality: the numbers 1, 4 and 7] Good with his hands, Ranulf is a natural craftsman who will work for as long as it takes to secure a perfect result. Capable and practical, he gets on well with others at all levels of society. If Ranulf does not pursue a practical trade, it will be important to develop a subsidiary practical interest to complement his main employment.
Comments based on Chinese Grid
1
Ranulf will make some money and enjoy a reasonable standard of living.
2
Ranulf has an average mind, and without the numbers 4 and 9 in the Chinese version will not enjoy a creative existence.
5
Emotionally well-balanced, Ranulf is not too intense, and will reach the right decisions. However, with the numbers 2 and 3 in the Chinese version, the balance may be upset.
77
Although Ranulf has spiritual leanings, he prefers the ceremony of religion to the faith that underpins it. With 3 ones (in the Chinese version) Ranulf will also be blessed with good luck.
8
In the absence (in the Chinese version) of the numbers 1 and 6, he will be good with money and details. He will be happier if the Chinese grid includes the numbers 5 and 7.
9
Although Ranulf is ambitious, his ambition is tempered with humanitarian ideals.
[The Arrow of Willpower: The numbers 1, 5 and 9] Ranulf is somewhat stubborn and very determined. Holding strong opinions that he will voice without reservation, he will nevertheless reach his goals through persistent hard work.
[The Arrow of Determination: The numbers 2, 5 and 8] Ranulf is patient, yet determined. Decisive when necessary, he will never lose sight of his ultimate objectives. He is prepared to wait in order to realise his ambition.

Ranulf, your love personality type is ENTJ
About 3-5% of the U.S. population possesses the combination of traits that make up this personality type.
Being an ENTJ means that you've got a bit of a rebellious streak in you. So rather than being the kind who follows, you'll usually choose to lead the pack. You also appear to love a challenge more than most others do. So if somebody wants something done, all they have to do is tell you that it's impossible. You're apt to show them then and there how you can make it happen. You're not one to be easily discouraged in any aspect of your life. So if someone catches your eye, you'll likely find a way to get to know them come hell or high water. You're not just a dreamer. You're a doer.
In relationships, you usually have a clear sense of where you want things to lead. You also know how to take charge of a situation to help things go your way. You can exude a personal strength and confidence that really wins people over. Your friendly, outgoing nature also makes most people quite happy to follow your lead. Perhaps they're empowered or inspired by your self-esteem and can-do thinking.
Given your test results, Emode's personality experts have determined your four most compatible matches when connecting with others. One of those four compatible types is an ISTJ.
