i watched the film last Sunday night, with my family. it was my first time to treat them to a movie we all wanted to watch and mind you, we did everything just to get to watch it. hurrying after our yfc meeting, and with a very quick dinner, we drove off to the last full show, a full 30 minutes away. we ended up being the last ones in the movie house and got home a little bit before midnight.
potter did not fail me, and though i didn't feel that awestruck while watching the film, i was pretty happy with how they portrayed the fourth book. it was very mature, very far from the 1st kiddie potter movie. it was just as dark as the third one, though i'm expecting it's not going to be a chirpy series since alot of death and evil is involved.
i found the 'remixed' trailer very amusing, since somewhere inside of me there's a harry-hermione shipper. it's not that i don't like ron and hermione together (actually i'm losing patience on them not being an item already in the 6th book) but then the movie showed more romantic fizz between harry and hermione; i.e. a bit too many private conversations and jumping into arms; than there is between ron and hermione. that's enough to make a shipper out of me, plus the trailer you just watched. (thanks to arne nga pala, my officemate who popped this out of my ym just as i came in for work)
these things pretty much gave me a realization; that it is love and magic that really draws my attention. that explains why i've always been a dreamer.

on turning 21, work and christmas presents
Sunday, November 13, 2005
hi there. it's been that long huh? i've been wanting to post a 'stuck in a moment birthday edition' but you see, i got a bit lazy and actually, too busy.
i had a nice birthday celebration, mainly because i got to spend it with lots of family and friends, the people i most care about. and i think that's just the key to having fun on your big day. even without that much gifts, the fact that these people came for me, and most especially, since it was my nanay vering's birthday too, came for my dear lola, was the best gift i could ever recieve. (also especially because my birthday is on ALL SAINTS' DAY).
to give you a glimpse, here are some of the snapshots from that day. and oh, i love the part where we get to blow out too many candles. note: we had 4 chocolate cakes, 1 braso de mercedes and (from my dear kel) my favorite, a blueberry cheesecake, most of them from red ribbon. now this is what i call a birthday party:
oh yeah, you bet, i got even fatter. :)
after my turning 21, (the age, i figured, is not that big of deal) i went straight to work on the 3rd of november. little did i know that after the training, i'll be getting the first and only actual work assignment amongst all of us, newly grads of ABAP training. it was startling, since probably i had the least background in programming.
but yesterday, against all odds, i got to completely finish my first ticket together with dj, the other one who eventually got assigned to another ticket too after his leave. it was a double thank GOD it's friday for us, since we haven't been able to see the sun set for the whole week. now we know what OVERTIME really means.
on the brighter side, i am officially a working woman (? hehe) with an office desk and a supercool PC. wanna see?
as expected, my desk is overly cluttered, mostly because i had a lot of work to do, and that i haven't been decorating my spot. but don't worry i'll get there.
our workplace is already beautifully decorated, with christmas trees and all. they're beautiful, and i just wish our house will soon be decorated for christmas too. i don't know why but mom seems not too up for it at this time. maybe the times have already sullened our christmas spirits.
but maybe not much for me. you see, i have a christmas wishlist with me already, which is also obviously much like a to-buy list for me, since i don't think people will buy it for me. but i'm keeping my fingers crossed... ninong... ninang... tito... tita.. kuya... ate... hehehe. so here goes;
first off, or these ones then maybe an ipod for EJ, the chronicles of narnia series, harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban and smallvile season four on dvd, and actually, a lot more. but i definitely love those guitars. pity it's such a hard task finding great looking ones in hot pink. in the process i found this cool line for women rockers, some of the designs were insanely absurd (butterfly, heart and daisy-shaped guitars can you believe it?) but they're one of a kind. check 'em out:
Daisy Rock anyways, i guess this is for now. it's a really long post. i won't stop updating this site, i promise. i just came to love it too much.
have fun! 'have yourself a merry little christmas...' :)
as right now i'm not too keen on sharing my numerous significant experiences for the past weeks, i'm doing another photo-essay-ish entry. i just hope i don't clog up your connection (for the dial-up users like me that is).
first up: michadiks' night out! tokyo tokyo and ice monster, oct28 finally seeing them in person is a bit weird, but is more rewarding. hah! anne! thought i'd never post them here did yah? hehe. peace sis!
next up: last day of training, greenbelt dinner outing with my office-playtmates, oct 29 we never thought we'd see each other again after training. but we were dead wrong. well, except for ced who got shipped off to gt tower, all of us are in the same building, same floor and mind you, 9 of us still share adjacent cubes. :)
and then: YFC regional conference in letran, calamba, oct 30-31. mostly i was tired and sleeping on this day, and kel and i were in a war period, but i got to experience once again what it's like to have fun with my kids - hehe the younger YFCs i came to love and miss. also, i got bond with my cousin kuya ron. it was a weird saturday night but a meaningful one. that weekend, i learned what BELIEVING is truly about. and i thank my GOD for that.
fourth: october celebrants' big blowout at the office, nov 11.. me and my ever-prepared office-playmates after the filling lunch. when are we ever going to get a decent picture taken?
lastly, i want to show you one of things that amused me this past week: TARA! one of my faves patrick the starfish in awfully cute christmas gear! don't you just love christmas? oh, by the way for the spongebob lovers, you can see our poriferan friend in the pic too, all entangled in christmas lights. sweet.
anyways, can't wait for the next harry potter movie showing this week!
