The Potter Generation :)

"Warner Bros estimates that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 took in $A157.75 million domestically from Friday to Sunday. That beats the previous best opening weekend of $A148.2 million, also held by Warner Bros for 2008's Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight." 
Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is the eighth and final film adapted from JK Rowling's seven novels about the young wizard's indoctrination into a secret world of sorcery and his epic battles with evil conjurer Voldemort. Cast more than a decade ago at ages 10 and 11 as Harry and his pals Hermione and Ron, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint became instant celebrities.(theaustralian.com.au)


I belong to the "Potter Generation." I was only 11 when the first movie came out back in 2001, and back then, my old school would prohibit us from bringing copies of the first 4 books in our mini-library as it talks about magic spells & vengeance. 10 years, 7 books and 8 movies later, I can say that I've stuck with Harry Potter, until the very end. But I don't claim to be the biggest fan, but one thing's for sure: this film has definitely made a mark in my heart, like a lightning-shaped scar. 
But I would love to say I have not only grown up with Harry, Ron and Hermione, but I have matured with them, they faced all their fears, and kept their friendship and taught us the values of bravery, logic and intelligence, of love and loyalty to family and friends. Even though there wouldn't be another film to be made, I'll find comfort and happiness in JK Rowling's words that "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home." :')

Sure, the weekend could be a letdown, it could turn out to be just another endless series ... The People You Will Fall In Love With In Your 20s | Thought Catalog Just sharing this blog post. And for the record, I'm part of the NBSB community (No Boyfriend Since Birth) - a product of the practicality of finishing College first and the happy-ever-afters of Disney and the romance novels and Classic Pinoy Teleseryes... And a huge part of it is, being uncertain of my maturity level to take care of one-on-one relationships, place somebody else's needs above my own. As a hopeless romantic with a childlike disposition, I truly believe in the last paragraph of this post, that although we encounter different people everyday, but I know someday, it will be clear that someone out there is truly meant for us, aka The One. Lucky for those who have found it earlier, ...

Save Baguio Pine Trees

I have been to Baguio City, twice in my life. The first trip was ten years ago when I was 12. And just recently, last February for the Panagbenga Festival. And because of its cold weather and abundance of strawberries, peanut brittle and choco flakes, not to mention wearing 'Winter Wardrobe' (knitted sweaters, berets, etc.) and most importantly, the picturesque mountain views with towering pine trees, I have come to love the place. So it is only right that I dedicate an artwork for the City of Pines, the summer capital of the Philippines. I may not be an environmentalist holding a picket along with the locals, but this I guess is the best I can do as an artist - to inspire people that the beautiful riches of our country is in our natural resources, we must take good care of it, as stewards of God's creation. I thank you. :)
