Prattles about Harry Potter 7 part 2

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 was freakin' awesome!
Best movie ever!
Don't even mention Twilight. :P
Oh, how can I describe it?
Perfect
Inspiring
Awesome
Cool
Suspense-y
Breathtaking
Quick Paced
Magical (get the pun? ;) )
And, of course, the word most worthy for it: EPIC.
Surrounded by Bravery

Not even those words can fully describe how I feel about the movie.

It's been one month since I've watched HP7 part 2, and I can say, I'm still not over my HARRY POTTER DISORTER (if that's what it is)!
Harry Potter is coolest thing EVER.
J.K. Rowling is a living legend.
Don't make me start on what I really loved about her books (especially the 7th), 'cause I assure you, I wouldn't be able to stop prattling.

So, Instead, I'll just make up a list. :)

What I started REALLY loving/appreciating after I watched the movie:
1.) Snape. Definitely Snape. After reading HP7, I guess I didn't hate him anymore, but I didn't especially love him, either. (Blame my James/Lily fangirlism). After all, he WAS a threat to James and Lily's love. I didn't pity him that much, too. (There was that 1 day of pity, I guess, but not much after that). Then, I chatted with my best friend (who was also a crazy potterhead) and I was like, "Who's your favorite character?" ; she was,like, "Snape". Then, after I watched the movie, I started to REALLY pity him, and like him as a character. Snape's one of the best made HP characters EVER.


Oh.
Well... It's the end of the list, I guess.
I feel kind of awkward right now.
This post was quite random, but whatever. :))

Yo.

Okay.
To be honest, I was about to delete this blog today.
BAM!


I know... I know... but I just created a Tumblog and I decided that it would be easier if I maintained 1 blog. And, well... Tumblr sounded really fun so...

Well, when I came here, I read my old posts and remembered how fun it was to blog. (Good times, Good times) So, now, I changed my mind.
WOOT WOOT.

XOXO

Thoughts about CHINA

Hey!
I'm back! :D.
The place we went for the study tour, by the way, was CHINA!
CHINA, Zhong Guo!
Anyway, we spent nearly 2 months there, studying Chinese. It wasn't as bad/boring as you think. I mean, I HAVE met a LOT of friends there, and we WERE featured on local T.V, so i'm not complaining. :P.
Of course, it wasn't exactly a breeze in the park, either. I mean, we had to live WITHOUT internet.... without TWITTER! (I'm still kind of amazed I survived that.. O.o) Plus, the dorm rooms weren't exactly clean... Maybe I should make a list..
OKAY!

ADVANTAGES/HAPPY MOMENTS/THINGS I LIKED ABOUT COMING TO CHINA:
1.) I learned Chinese. (Because, whether I like it or not, I am a nerd, and I love learning)
2.) I met new people. (I miss them already... :/)
3.) I got the taste of the dorm life. (although that isn't exactly a good thing... let's just place the good points of living the dorm life here for now..)
4.) I learned Wu Shu. (This, I really like! "Kung fu" was fun! Hyaa!)
5.) It's parent free. (I still missed them, of course... but..)
6.) I got to buy clothes, and new stuff. (I AM A SHOPAHOLIC!!)
7.) I was able to get to know my schoolmates more. (And we became CLOSE! :D)
8.) I earned new experiences and memories.


DISADVANTAGES/ WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT COMING TO CHINA:
1.) School.... on SUMMER?!?? (No student likes school on summer, not even a nerd like me)
2.) No sleep. (Seriously, I sleep 8 hours at most, usually 6 hours. I wake up at 5:30/6:00am. How am I supposed to GROW?)
3.) The food SUCKS! (As in I feel puke~ish every morning. They serve the same food EVERY DAY! Gahh! It was horrible. :O!!)
4.) I got the taste of the dorm life. (The bad parts of it. As in cleaning the toilets *eeewww* , killing cockroaches, cleaning your room, killing bugs, hard beds, smelly "things", and some other horrible things I probably shouldn't mention)
5.) No Internet. (Probably the worst of my china problems.... I CAN'T live without TWITTER, or FANFICTION! I died of boredom and got reborn..)
6.) Strict teachers. (Strict teachers. End of sentence)
7.) Horrible chinese music. (It was so horrible that it became funny. I mean, the tone was really funny and we would sing it just for laughs)
8.) Sometimes, we get TOO close. (There is NO personal space here. You can't do anything in private. There is ALWAYS someone with you.. Not that I didn't like my friends' companies... But I need to be alone sometimes, too)
9.) Smelly G.I. s (G.I.=Genuine Inchick. They really do have a smell. I think they take a bath once a week. I mean, they wear the same clothes every day! No exaggeration there! )
10.) No fruits. (When I say "fruit", I mean Indian mango. I love Indian mangoes!!!!!!!!!)


SOME THINGS I LEARNED AT CHINA:
1.) Chinese
2.) Wu Shu & Aerobics
3.) Not to slide down random poles. (I got a scar after a nasty fall...)
4.) That G.I.s are really bad singers.
5.) A poem called "Rong Chi Zai Xin Zhong".
6.) That people can creep up on you in real life. (I didn't think it was possible. But someone did. And now I like her :D)
7.) How to kill roaches. (Well, not really... there are a lot of roaches here at home, too...)
8.) Do not jump on beds if you do not know how hard they are. (Or you might get a CARD-ACHE! ~don't try to figure that out...)
9.) How short G.I.s are.
10.) How to do a Reetaw Key (wrong spelling intended to mask her name) smile.
11.) Chinese Chess.
12.) Never give in on bargaining.
13.) That people aren't who they seem to be. (Really True)
14.) That time flies by quickly.
15.) How to train your dragon. (ERAGON!!~ haha... Don't try to "get" this, either)

Overall, I liked coming to china and I don't regret choosing to. I met a lot of people, learned chinese, and had fun. It was a great summer! Maybe one or the best! :D

That's all for now.

XOXO

Going Somewhere... :)

Okay, When I said later, I actually meant now. ^_^

I'm going abroad this summer to study. SHOCKER, much? Not really.
And I know, you're probably thinking... (OMG! Dejavu! I actually wrote something like this in a letter I gave my friend)

"OMG! That's so lame and nerdy!" or...
"WHAT? You wasted your summer!" or...
"EEW. I'm gonna stop reading this!" or even...
"O-kaayy.... I don't really care... continue. please."

But, hey, I'm going to enjoy myself there. It's fun. Maybe I should go make a list (Did I mention I love making random lists? Probably not)...

10 Reasons Why I'm Going To Have Fun There:
1.) When I say study, I don't REALLY mean study. I'm NOT going to study. Sure, I'll learn but I'll spend my time MORE playing and shopping and LESS studying.
2.) HELLO? It's ABROAD! That should be reason enough. I get to go to a different country and have a NEW experience.
3.) The price is incredibly cheap. Some famous, rich, guy (OWNER OF 2 AIRPLANE COMPANIES) sponsored everyone who is going there. We only pay, like, half of the real price we SHOULD pay.
4.) I get to shop till I drop. (Not really, I am INCREDIBLY cheap once you leave me money that I have to budget)
5.) It's Parent Free. Haha. Actually, I don't mind my parent's being here. But, I'm not one to get homesick. I'm actually VERY trustable and I would never do anything "bad". Really. ;)
6.) We get to learn a different language. Yep. That's the primary reason.
7.) We get to learn card games. Last time I went to a summer study tour like this, I learned A LOT of card games. It was SUPER FUN!
8.) My classmates and schoolmates are coming with me. A lot of us are coming this school year. Wheeee!
9.) I've got SOMETHING to keep me busy. Last summer, I was BORED TO DEATH. Why am I still alive? Up to this day, I don't know. :P
10.) I get to meet Visayans. I love Visayans. Especially people from Bacolod. Most of my family in the mother side are from Bacolod and I love it there. So, whenever I see someone from Bacolod (or even Visayas), I immediately feel a part of home.

Oh, and there's this TINY detail....
THERE'S NO INTERNET/WIFI THERE
Big detail, actually...

NO. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.No.
I'm Hyperventilating....
Actually, I'm not really sure. I think there isn't any.
And If I'm Right... (Uh oh... bad habit again...)
No Twitter
No Facebook
No Blog
No Youtube
No Fanfiction
No Wiki
NO INTERNET!!!!

Nah. I think I'll find a loophole. There. Is. Always. A. Loophole.
"When there's a will, there's a WAY!"

:) :) :) :) :) :) :D

Flight Cancelled

Darn!
I'm a little Sad. And Angry. And Depressed. And Hopeful. And Relieved. And (right now,) Hungry...

Wanna Know Why? Of Course You Do! ;)
And before I tell you the reason, I just realized something!
I just realized how I have this bad habit of capitalizing every letter in a sentence. I stopped it, of course. (But look ABOVE)

Anyway... Our flight was cancelled! :(... We were supposed to go to the capital city (Let's call it capcity because I do not want, in any way, to reveal where I live. I'm Paranoid.) but the weather was too rainy. Now, I'm back home and we're going to fly again tomorrow. It feels kind of weird.

Oh no! :/. I have an orientation to go to tomorrow. I think I'm going to miss it. Uh oh... NOOO.

Possible things we could do/have done:
1.) Take a bus TODAY so we could arrive in time for the meeting (my idea. So, naturally, they didn't like it)
2.) Take a plane tomorrow (Dad's idea. I think he hates South Road/Car travel) and miss the orientation (Nooo! At least, in my opinion ...)
3.) Take a bus tomorrow if the plane is cancelled (I'm like... "Why not today???")

I think dad and mom chose #2. Go Figure. :/

Oh, And I forgot to mention... What IS the orientation for?

Yeah... More on that later. :)

Earth Hour

Hey Guys (And that includes GIRLS, too. I use "guys" as a general word),
It's 12:03 pm and I'm STILL awake.
Wide awake.
Eyes Open Awake.
Not Sleepy Awake.
Awake.

I'm not sleepy yet and me and my brother are the only ones awake. Did I mention it's his birthday?

Happy Birthday Brother! :)

I am searching some Lily/James (Harry Potter) fluff on fanfiction right now. The search feature is down.. oh well...

I wrote everything above last night But I got so INTO the fanfiction I was reading that I left this tab idle. I love James/Lily fanfics! Wheeee

Anyway, I'm reading James/Lily fanfiction... Again..
Who can blame me? :>

It's EARTH HOUR! YAY! Happy Earth Hour Everyone!
Speaking of Earth hour, I should probably turn of this computer. As in right now.
Maybe later though, when it's dark. There is still some SUN right now.

*Reminder* On March 26, 2011; from 8:30PM to 9:30PM, switch off your lights for Earth Hour for our fight against climate change. Your little ways can make a big
difference!

I'm going to do just that later! :D. Again HAPPY EARTH HOUR! Oh, and I made my font Green. Try to guess... LOL.

Speaking of "LOL", It, along with "FYI" and "OMG" has just been added to the Oxford English Dictionary yesterday. (HORAY!)

Okay. See you later.

XOXO

Percy Jackson Tissue Tubes Photos


HAPPY GRADUATION GRADUATES! (GRYFFINDOR COLORS! :D)
Yep. My brother just graduated (5th honorable mention) so congrats to him and all other graduates out there! :D

I just took pictures of my "Percy Jackson Tissue Tubes". So right now, I've made
Silena Beauregard
Percy Jackson
Annabeth Chase
Grover Underwood
Thalia Grace
Clarisse La Rue
Charles Beckendorf
Bianca De Angelo
Nico De Angelo
Luke Castellan
Ethan Nakamura
Connor/Travis Stroll (I don't know who it is... they both look exactly alike and I didn't want to make two tissue tubes looking exactly alike so I just made one. You decide who it is.)
Tyson *Something* (Forgot his last name. He's just Tyson to me.)
Will Solace (Just an EXTRA guy. haha...)

Okay... maybe I missed some people but those are the ones I can remember. Everything was made by yours truly, moi. Collecting the tissue tubes. Drawing in the tissue tubes. Tracing the drawings with Pentel (why does the computer say it's wrong spelling??? *It has these red lines on it..*) pen. Coloring them.

The drawings are mostly accurate in terms of looks, height, color, and clothes with slight alterations. Thalia, for example, is my FAVORITE character so I made her look slightly better. I got rid of her ripped vest and made her hair long; But she still wears the famous "Death to Barbie Doll" t-shirt.

I don't know what the age of Percy and Annabeth is in my drawing (Maybe 12 year-old Percy and Annabeth or 16 year-old).

Oh, and Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia look less complex, and more dull maybe than the other campers. That's because they were the first ones I drew. I wasn't really counting on making a lot of these tissue tubes. I was just bored and drew on a tissue tube.. and the magic begins... (JK. ;) ) It also probably helps that I drew these first three with OLD, USED, NOT POINTY, WHITEBOARD pentel (uggh... wrong spelling again! :/) pen and drew the others with NEW, FINE, SHARP, PERMANENT PIVOT pentel pen.

Chris Rodriguez and Juniper isn't part of the Tissue Tube. It's just that, I don't know what Juniper's skin looks like and I drew Chris wrong on the 1st try. I gave up on drawing him. The End. Poor Chris... Oh well...

Right now, I am trying to find ways to upload the photos in an album. OH HERE! Okay..

Whoo! I got a message from my Best Friend! Going to read it and reply now.
*Moments Later* AWW that was FLUFFY! :))

Here's the link to the other photos in the Percy Jackson Tissue Tube "PHOTO SHOOT". Be sure to click it! :) It's got a lot of photos including...
Percabeth
Thuke
Big 3
Trio
ETC.

OH, I sound like an advertiser... Whatever
CLICK IT!

THANKS. Oh, caps lock is on...
Anyway...
Thanks

XOXO
