Deathly Hallows

The long wait is finally over!

My copy of the Deathly Hallows is in my hands already and I just can't wait to finish it. (Was able to get hold of it yesterday!) But I don't have any plans of finishing it in an instant... I want to take it slowly since this would be the last book of HP... Boohooohooo... I want to enjoy every chapter and feel the suspense as I come closer and closer to the end. But actually, I am still way too far from being close to the ending. Hehehe! As of this writing, I am still in Chapter 4. But it's just okay. I don't want to finish it right away. And besides, there are other things that's in my mind right now other than finishing the book. Aside from being gaga over my HP book, I am also currently addicted to Rollercoaster Tycoon game. =) I think this game is not new but I am hooked to it just now. My team leader was the one who introduced me to this game and let me borrow his installer. And now, I am getting so addicted to it. So I am in a dilemma which one should I give priority to... HP or Rollercoaster Tycoon. Hehehe! Another thing is that Jay-ar downloaded a Ghost Fighter series! We are both a big fan of the "Rei-gun" and every time he watches it, I have to stop reading the book or playing Rollercoaster Tycoon because I don't want to miss an episode. If I can just do it all at the same time...

On the Other News...

My first ever ever nephew was born last Friday! Welcome to the world Baby G! I just can't wait to see him. My sister, Yeng, told me that he looks just like my baby brother. That means they are both cute babies! I will post his picture when Yeng send me one.

Now I am really decided that I have to go home next month!

Harry Potter & Others

Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix - as usual, the book is better than the movie. But the book, as I've said from my other post, is the one I like the least of all the HP books. So in this sense, what can I still expect from the movie? Effects.

.

For me, the book is always better than the movie & I guess most of the other HP book readers will agree to me on this one. Simply because the book has all the details & the complete story that the movie failed to show due to time contraints. But in fairness to the movie, the effects were great although this was already anticipated since all HP movies had great effects. I can say I am not really disappointed since I did not expect that much from the movie but I am still a full-fledged HP fan no matter what. After all, book 6 (Half-blood Price) is way way way better than book 5. =)

.

After watching HP, Jay-ar & I ate at MFM (Manhattan Fish Market) also known as Fish Manhattan. We ordered the Manhattan platter for two, which includes rice, french fries, prawns, squid & oyster. Even the food is a little bit expensive, I can say na Sulit tlaga dahil Masarap! Even the thought of it can make me hungry. Hehehe!

And I applied for my first credit card in Malaysia yesterday. It's from Maybank (Malayan Bank) - the biggest bank in Malaysia. The agent said that it was already approved and that I just have to wait the card to be sent to me. At first, I did not really want to get a card but the card is free for life so I've got nothing to lose. All I had to do was to give all the required documents & I was good to go...

I cannot wait for the Harry Potter book 7 (Deathly Hallows)! It was only yesterday that I have reserved my copy because at first I was planning to buy it from the Philippines. But I've learned that It's cheaper here by 400 pesos! So dito na lang ako buy! BechaByGollyWow! It will be released on Saturday!!! And another good thing about it is that I'll be having the "adult" version of the cover (see pic below) kc sa Pinas daw, ang available lang is yung kid's version. I cannot imagine that this would be the last book! I also feel sad about it kc matatapos na ang HP craze. I can still remember when I was still starting to go gaga over HP, we had a machine problem in one of my programming language classes during college to develop a Library System using Visual FoxPro. And I did a Library System for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizadry. Hehehe! My prof was actually impressed coz none of my other classmates thought of applying the system to a specific school while my system had a Hogwarts logo & other graphics and the book names I used as a test data were also those books used by HP. But of course, the system was also bug-free, otherwise, all the designs will be useless. Am really excited! Sana Saturday na! (^^,)

Anything But Ordinary (Nice Song)

by: Avril Lavigne

Sometimes I get so weird

I even freak myself out

I laugh myself to sleep

It's my lullaby

Sometimes I drive so fast

Just to feel the danger

I wanna scream

It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?

Is it enough to breathe?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines

Would make my life so boring

I want to know that I Have been to the extreme

So knock me off my feet

Come on now give it to me

Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?

Is it enough to breathe?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defences

Use no common sense

If you look you will see that this world is a beautiful accident,

turibulent, succulent opulent permanent, no way I wanna taste it

Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird

I even freak myself out

I laugh myself to sleep

It's my lullaby

Is it enough? Is it enough?

Is it enough to breathe?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Is it enough? Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Ooh I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Great Movies

Last Saturday, I was able to watch Transformers with Jay-ar and the movie was really great!!! It's funny and the effects were just awesome. I love the autobots!!! =)



Today, I get to watch Die Hard 4.0, which is also I think a very nice movie. Effects and stunts were great and the story was like one of those 24 series stories.


And next Saturday, we are going to watch Harry Potter and I also feel so excited to see the movie although I have to admit that of all the Harry Potter books, the Order of the Phoenix is the one I like the least. But I have to say that I always enjoyed Harry Potter movies. I just can't wait to see it.


Dami magagandang movies ngayun... Sana laging ganito! =)
To those people who haven't watched Transformers & Die Hard, I really recommend that you guys go and see these movies. You will never regret it! Pwomise! =)
