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." :')

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, ...

Jetsetter Fashion (in the Movies)

More than a good plot, what I enjoy about movies, are the characters who look their part. And since I am still 'jet-lagged' on the lovely dresses I've seen yesterday in the chick flicks: Eat, Pray, Love and Monte Carlo; I have dedicated my energies into assembling looks on Polyvore and writing about dressing up on travel by taking cues from Liz Gilbert & Meg Kelly. I find it really nice that her wardrobe adapts to the setting, you can distinguish one country from another, it's like showing how Liz has immersed herself to each culture. Among the three lead actresses in Monte Carlo, I would see myself wearing pieces from Leighton's character. She is the most practical, staying true to travelling light and looking great on the camera, without having to sacrifice comfort. And my favorite piece of advice when it comes to dressing up for yourself is to add your own unique sense of style. So the equation to sum this post up is Culture + Comfort + Creativity = J...

Hot and Cold Tagaytay

We had a spontaneous trip to Tagaytay to maximize the long weekend and escape Manila Heat. It was only planned the night before. Our first stop was at the Pagcor Casino, the good news is I just turned 22 (no entrance for minors 21 years old and below) but there were no cameras allowed. But that wasn't the kind of fun that my cousins and I had in mind. So we then took our merienda and headed off to Taal Vista and there was outdoor arcade overlooking the Taal Volcano, it was way cheaper and was all good clean fun. We had dinner at Summit Ridge, complete with grocery stores, tiangges and restaurants so you won't miss Manila that much. We stayed for the night at Character Hotel, TICC , it boasts its olympic-sized swimming pool, but since we weren't that masochistic to have a night swimming considering the cool temperature at night so we planned to take a dip after the Easter mass the morning after. On our way home, we stopped over at Nuvali for lunch and take a look at the e...
