Best? I think worst.

You might be wondering what I'm talking about. Well, let me fill you in.

I have been an avid fan of harry potter since college. It was one of my barkada who introduced me to the book. We were curious with what she was reading then so she lend the book to us. Since then I was hooked! I still remember when we (me and my barkada) watched the first movie at SM Manila. We watched it for three times! The one viewing thing was not in at the time. You can watch any movie from the first viewing until the last full show. Plus, it was sort of like the continuation of our class because most of my classmates were there.

I have read up to the sixth book "the half blood prince." I even have the book. It wasn't mine really, it was my boss's. I asked him if I could have it since he also have the japanese version, a remembrance from him when he left the Philippines. I haven't read the last book. I have a copy of the ebook though, but I find it annoying to have to read it on a computer. I'll have to find a way to read it before the movie is shown.

Enough of the story on how I was hooked with harry. I'm here to criticize the movie.

I have seen on a poster ( I think) of the movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince that it was the best Potter movie. Umm, duh?! It's so not! I have been warned by a friend of mine that I would just be wasting my money if I watched it on the big screen. Well, I had to see it for myself. And what do you know, my friend wasn't lying! They went overboard with the compression of the book into a movie. It became boring and senseless. I heard they're going to make the last book into a two part movie. I hope, they'll exert all their efforts into making this one the best of Harry Potter movies. We don't want to be disappointed for the last time..:))

Twilight Movie Companion

I really love fully booked! The bookstore where I bought my twilight books. Their books are a little bit expensive compared to other bookstores but at least they have stocks. Last sunday, my siblings and I were at MOA. I don't know what's gotten into me, I went inside fully booked, to kill time I guess. Upon entering, we noticed that there was an addition to the stacks of books on the twilight table. It was a twilight movie companion book. It was like a glossy magazine, with lots of behind the scenes pictures and a detailed information on how the movie started and came together. Ang daming pictures ni Edward! *LOL*! It's quite expensive pero siyempre buy kami. It's a collectors item for the twilight fans.

Here are some the pictures inside the book...

Much awaited movie

I have finished reading the twilight series books by Stephenie Meyer. I enjoyed every moment of it. I never had this much enthusiasm in reading since the Harry Potter series. Now that I know what had become of the Bella and Edward love story, I am very excited for the movie.

We were at the mall yesterday. We passed by the cinemas and stopped at a tv monitor which plays the trailer of the movie. Then it flashed the date of the showing of the movie. November 26. November 26?! What?! The schedule in the internet says that the movie will be shown here on November 21! What happened? We asked the girl at the counter why the change in schedule. She just told us that the date has been moved. Moved? As if November 21 is not long enough they had to extend it to November 26.

Oh well, I guess we really have to wait that long.

Best Birthday Gift ever!

I was so ecstatic to receive the best birthday gift I could ever receive.

Here's the story....

October 18, Saturday. Ason and I went to Midtown Robinson's Place Ermita to look for something that I would like him to give me for my birthday. I really have no specific thing in mind. The mall was having a 3-day sale at the time. Maybe it would be the last for this year since christmas season is fast approaching. Anyway, I went through most the shops. I was thinking clothes would be the safest thing I could ask for. But too bad, I never found anything I want, not even close to anything I like. When I went looking for Ason (we separated, he looked for things he could buy) I found him eating halo-halo at Razon's. After then we went to midtown. I checked out a few stores but was unsuccessful. Then I had an idea. I was going crazy about twilight and I have only read the first book. I need to have the last 3 books. I told him that that is what I wanted. It was very hard to find a copy of these books. All of the bookstores that I went to have no stocks. He told me he'll check out at Sta. Rosa if they have stocks.

After we finished at Robinson's, we went to Harrison Plaza. He need to make some transactions at the bank. Instead of going with him, I went to national bookstore. As expected , no stocks! I was already hungry at that time so went to MOA and ate at President's Tea house. I was so full but not that satisfied, maybe because I wanted to eat at Almon Marina but he doesn't want to. After dinner, I strolled a while, alone, in the mall. I passed by Fully Booked and saw the poster of the release of the Breaking Dawn. That poster wasn't there when I went a day before. I was tempted to check it out. And to my my surprise, there was this table full of twilight series books! Complete from book 1 to 4! I was so excited. I called Ason immediately and asked him to go back to buy me the books! I couldn't remove the smile on my face, I was so happy! I've never been so excited as this! I will get to read the whole Edward and Bella Story! Aside from the original books, there was this special edition twilight book with a free movie poster! Ason asked me if I wanted that too. I do want it but refused because I already have the first book. As for the poster, I have tons of pictures in the computer back home so there really is no need for that.

I felt like a fool, smiling while walking. Of course I have a reason but the people that passed by me doesn't know that.

All in all, the best birthday gift ever! Not expensive but I consider it my most priced possession as of the moment.

Twilight series books

Happy Happy!!!

Twilight

This is going to be a long post...

About a week ago, my youngest sister isay, have been talking nonstop about this book her friends were reading. The book by Stephenie Meyer is entitled Twilight, which will soon be a major motion picture. I got curious. I thought there was already a movie by that title and when I narrated to her the movie she said it wasn't that. Hhmmm...still curious.


I was surprised when I got home last friday. My sister bought the book, which took forever to buy because every bookstore ran out of stock. She already started reading but I interrupted her because again of my curiosity. I wanted to be the first one to finish it which is most likely because i'm a fast reader.


After reading the first chapter I was hooked! I couldn't let it down. More than I got hooked with Harry Potter and Match me if you can. I stopped reading around 2 am, not because i'm already tired nor sleepy but because I needed to sleep. I have already finished half of the book!


The sun was up saturday morning and the first thing I did was to continue reading. My sister and I had plans to go Trinoma to look for a dress to wear on my cousin's debutante party. Laziness and the urge to finish the book got the best of me so we went to Robinsons Manila instead (bringing the book of course). We weren't able to find a dress so I decided to have my hair treated (which will be elaborated in another post).


We went home and my reading still continued. Every chapter seemed like the climax, you really have to read the next to end the suspense. I was saddened to see that i'm almost finished. 2 am came and I finished it. I have never felt so kilig! Since the movie is coming out soon and knowing who will play each character, it's so easy to imagine.


I can't wait for the movie this coming November 21. I'll be posting about it another time. I have so many things to say about the movie! I will include the trailer and some of the character's photos.


To learn more about the author and the twilight saga (that makes everyone crazy including me), check it out here.

Match me if you can

I love reading books! Whenever i get my hands on a good book i couldn't let it down. Last weekend I found one. My sister's friend borrowed my "Veronika Decides to Die" book. In return my sister borrowed her book. I've seen it lying around the house. Because I'm busy and always tired when i get home, i've ignored it. Last sunday i got bored and was left alone in the house. I couldn't stand staying too long in front of the computer so I decided to read the book instead. After the first chapter my eyes were glued on the book. I almost forgot I haven't eaten lunch yet.

So what's so interesting about this book? It's a romantic story with a touch of comedy. I felt so kilig while reading. I finished it within 3 days. I read it when i get home from work. So imagine how long I stay up just to read. When I finished it I was so happy but sad at the same time. The story itself can possibly happen in real life. The guy in the story I should say is what all of us girls are looking for in a husband or partner. Someone who would forget about his work when it comes to you. Haayy... Sana ganyan din si BF..*LOL* He's too focus on his work and their business kasi e. But in fairness, he makes time for me. Un nga lang palaging nagmamadali *LOL.*

Anyways, hope you could find time and a copy of the book. BTW, it's called Match me if you can by Suzanne Philips.

A new old book

Review classes are at a very fast pace. We finished General Chemistry in just 3 classes. I'm actually a little worried and stressed right now because I haven't really catched up yet. Now we are in Organic Chemistry. By the way, we have the same professor in gen chem and organic. He's actually very very good and very very intelligent. He's the only professor who made me understand the concept of hybridization. I never appreciate that topic, but now I do because of him.

Organic is very different from all the subjects that we will be taking up. The three others are somewhat interconnected. This one needs a lot of understanding and memorization. I have to take memo plus gold in order to grasp everything. My organic chem book by Morrison and Boyd is already old. It's actually so old (I bought it second hand) that the pages were already torn. So I asked my father to buy me a new one. They do not publish this book anymore so what they bought is again a second hand but its condition is much better than my first one. I started reading it and I have to say it's a bit difficult to understand. I need more reference for this subject.

See the name of the previous owner?

Tomorrow we'll have Inorganic Chemistry and I haven't done my problem set for that one yet. Will do after this...

Understanding life...

At last i've finished the book I was reading for so long. Not that I didn't find it interesting, its just that the story started a bit slow. When I came to the middle part that's when I appreciated the book. It was a book written by Paolo Coelho, the famous author of "The Alchemist", one day i'll be able to read this one. The book is entitled "Veronika decides to die". After reading this book I was able to understand and appreciate life more. Knowing that you only have a week to live makes you do things you thought was never possible. You become free. Never care what other people would say or think of you. Most of us don't have the courage to do what we want because we have to conform to the norms of society. Lucky are the insane because they have freedom. Not that I wanted to be insane *LOL*. Can't wait to get my hands on another Paolo Coelho book. I am also eyeing the digital fortress by Dan Brown. What can I say? I love reading!
