Am I spending my entire vacation blogging?

Yes.

So I can give you these:

Harry Potter and the half blood prince is almost done with shooting. The movie is supposed to be out on December 15, 2008.

Draco will get more screen time here as he is being prepped to help out Potter in defeating the Dark Lord. God, can he get any cuter???

Nice shot of Harry. I think this movie should showcase the emotional turmoil Harry goes through. My expectations are, it should be darker, more emotional, more adult than anything.

I just wanted to post a picture of Luna Lovegood here. I think this girl has wicked fashion sense!

Finished the last Harry Potter book in 6 hours.

It's very anti climactic - at least for me. My previous theories were blown and that left me very disappointed.

I got the feeling that JK Rowling was under the pressure of finishing the book and just went through the motions. Minadali ng hitad.

Be warned though - a lot of deaths happened. That damn book made me cry at least 5 times.

Yun nga lang... di ko masyado type.

I'm going back to fanfiction.

Saw the latest Harry Potter movie yesterday with hubby. These are the perks of a stay at home mom with a hubby on the night shift - MOVIES!

Anyway, we saw it yesterday and it was amazing! I think this is my favorite HP movie so far. they've made some changes, naturally, and veered away from some of the book's plot.

What really stuck in my head was that final battle scene between Voldie and Dumbledore. You could see that they really were the two most powerful wizards in the history of wizardkind.

I'm not putting any more comments. You might want to kill me.

I hate people watching certain kinds of movies because they think it's the cool thing to do. Like watching a movie would improve your social status, sure. Take for example indie films - most people watch it because they think that if they do, they'd be part of the clique - the artsy fartsy, deep, artistic and poignant group. Newsflash! You're not. You watch a couple of Miras' and Dalena's doesn't mean you're suddenly Kidlat Tahimik. Gamitin pa natin ang mga totoong artists, hindot ka.

I also hate people who flash labeled outfits, bags and shoes. Owehnonaman ngayon kung naka Jimmy Choos ka? Parang luya pa din ang mga toes mo.

It's not the threads. It's not the group you're with. Fuck, it's not even what you project. It's how comfortable you are with yourself. Who the fuck cares if you can't understand indie films? Who the fuck cares if you only have Secosana as a bag? If they do care, they maybe they're just too shallow. You don't want that.

One more thing I hate would be those asshole conductors in buses and cashiers in department stores asking if you've got change. I ride this bus to the mall, right? Then I realize I don't have any coins or change on me. All I have is 500 pesos. I fork it over the conductor and he looks at me like I have leprosy.

"Wala ka bang barya?" (Don't you have any change?)

"Wala po eh." (Nope.)

"Wala kang barya? Ang aga aga wala kang barya!" (You don't have change? This early in the morning and you don't have change?!)

"If it were a prerequisite for life to have change readily available in my purse, I'd be more than willing to do so, however, it is not my job to give you change. It's my job to give you money - the fare, you overgrown and unhygienic buffoon. If I had change, don't you think I would've given it to you? Didn't you stop to think about that? Wala akong barya! Wala, wala, WALA!" (I don't have change. I don't, I don't, I DON'T!)

That was the time that the old lady behind me gave the conductor 10 pesos for my fare. I turn around to thank her and she says "No, thank you. I've always wanted to do that."

I see myself 20 years from now.

Ayelavit.

Watched Spidey 3 yesterday with hubby. After errands (and Little Butchokokoy's enrollment), we watched the movie.

There were moments that I went "Whoah!" and there were moments that I cringed and went "I hope he got a lot of money for this because when he sees this years from now, he's going to slap his forehead and kick himself for ever doing this movie".

Spidey 3 is too emotional for me. It's a page straight from a Filipino movie script. I have a feeling that it was Bb. Joyce Bernal who directed this. (Direk! Di mo man lamang akong kinuhang extra?) It's as cheesy as Ghost Rider.

Tsaka ganun pala yun. Pag mabait kang tao, naka brush up ang hair mo. Pag evil ka, may bangs ka.

Maliit masyado noo ko. Paano ako mag ba-bangs?

We also saw the trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Promising ito.

Go Voldemort!!.... I mean.... Go Harry!!

Speaking of books, the last book in the Harry Potter series willbe out on the 21st of July. This bokk, according to J.K. Rowling will be the end. Not necessarily of Harry Potter, thought here, among speculations, that he is the one referred to when J.K. mentioned of character death in the book.

I personally think that it will be Harry Potter who will kick the bucket in this book. What better way to end a series than with the main character dying. This way, there will be no more sequels and Harry Potter (or at least the character) will remain to be Harry Potter.

Then again, if he dies, Voldemort should die too.

Or, the other thought that comes to mind is Draco Malfoy. But he's too yummy to kill off.

Hehehe.

According to a news site I went to, Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter), signed up for the last 2 movies of the Harry Potter saga. However, at ito ang nagpa windang sa akin, Tom Felton (aka Draco Malfoy) is apprehensive about returning and there are strong rumors that he will be replaced.

HINDEEHHH!!!!

He is the only actor there!! How can you do this to your fans Tom Felton???!!!
