Hi, it's the
Nickster!
Cosplayer, video gamer, sun chaser.

Who am I?
G'day and kumusta! I am Nickster! Here’s your hard facts about me:Filipino by blood, Australian in heart.Australian headquarters in Sydney
Philippine headquarters in Quezon CityHobbies: Cosplay, video games, photography, vlogging
I attend conventions and cosplay events in both countries.Story time: I first discovered cosplay in 2013 during Supanova Expo Sydney 2013. On 14 February 2014 (yes, Valentine's Day), I declared cosplay my new hobby, with Danny Phantom as my first ever costume.I’m an occasional photographer. I’d do photoshoot for friends during my spare time.And I like to make videos! I make travel vlogs, do gaming livestreams, and would love to film CMVs.Not all people approve of my hobby. But this is all for fun. I don’t earn anything from it. It’s a hobby, a pastime, a stress relief. It’s my great escape from this hell called reality. And I prefer it that way. Just don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you love!
