This was suppose to be a character tryout for this thing called the "APH World Conference"; however; because the country I am portraying is yet to be in the strip, my audition didn't really count.

I did a casual cosplay of the character Taiwan from APH (Axis Powers Hetalia). My acting is horrible so don't expect much. The second half of the video is full of my outtakes; you can see my real personality leaking out (aka dorkiness! XP) The scenes are filmed out of order because I kept messing up on scene 1 (about 30+ takes) and my god-sister had to leave. My eyes end up looking squint-ier than usual in the beginning because I was so tired out in the end of filming.

We started filming around 10:30pm but I couldn't get my lines right so we didn't stop filming till 1:30am. With that being said, I would like to thank 3 people (who don't have a dA account or usually aren't on dA).

My god-sister, Honey, was there for me when I first started the video. In fact, she temporarily played the character China (Wang Yao) in my skit. This was also one of the main reasons why the filming was out of order. Her boyfriend was rushing her so she was in a hurry. (He was waiting for her outside in his car; she had a wedding to go to with him the next day.) Those couple scenes were done kinda sloppy and fast (and she forgot her "-aru") but they were a lot better than my monologue Also, she was trying to help me remember my lines by doing hand gestures behind the camera person but, as you can tell, it did not really help. Actually, they're kinda distracting.

I would also like to thank my cousin and my sister. My cousin help with some of the recording too. And she also played a background scenery in some part of the clip . My 13 yr old sister did the rest of the filming (she is the one I keep hitting with the ROC flag). She also helped me edit my video (took about 3-4 hrs, another night with no sleep). It's scary how mature kids are nowadays.

Also, in sadder news: the horrible disaster that struck Taiwan is really devastating. I dunno what's it called in English but it is referred as a typhoon in Chinese. It caused many buildings to collapse and flood and buried my civilians' homes. So many people die and they are asking for relief funds. I hope they get their help soon.
