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." :')

My Own Hogwarts

That awkward moment when UST Main Building is like Hogwarts. buhayuste : I reblogged this post from Tumblr, again. Today, I am anticipating to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,  and at the same time,  missing my old school, even if that body of water is  actually floodwater. Sometimes I imagine if the staircases would also move. lol. I may not have a wand to do magic but in my stay there, it felt magical...  :">

The Gap

Ira Glass on Storytelling from David Shiyang Liu on Vimeo . "All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap.  It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions." -Ira Glass What drove me to post this inspiring video is the fact that one work of mine has been finally put up in EDSA. It's like a milestone to be celebrated, but it falls under the kind of work that you're not really very proud to show... not because it's that bad, it's just trying to be good. I am not going to name-drop that certain brand, and I have to say that the artist does not always have the call on how can it be done solely, there are a lot more people involved in the creative process.  This is just the beginning and so I hope and pray that in the near future, I'll get past the stage where I just work for the sake of getting the job done but because it was

http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/i-want-a-friday-kind-of-love/# Fridays are full of possibility. Anything could happen. 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,
