Harry Potter Series fandom

Ever since I was child, I have been a bookworm. Well, it’s not like each time you see me I am reading but truly it’s one of my hobbies. And just like any other booklovers, I am also one of the avid readers of the popular series “The Harry Potter”. It started after watching The Sorcerer’s Stone in DVD last Christmas 2001. And because of the fact that my mom would not give me money to buy books such as those (because they prefer academic books, books that are required in school), I ended up borrowing it and all the succeeding published books except the last installment of the series (The Deathly Hollows) because I downloaded the e-book and printed it. I succeeded reading the series by merely borrowing it, and now that I have my own work, one of my plans is to buy it, June 30 had passed (last day of work) and up till now I don’t have it. waaa..

I really love this series because of the feeling of excitement it gives me, waiting for the next book to be released. Because of this thrill, the last book (before the next release) that I read I ended up reading it all over again.

Harry Potter and the…

Sorcerer’s/Philosopher’s Stone – 5x

Chamber of Secrets – 3x

Prisoner of Azkaban – 8x

Goblet of Fire – 4x

Order of the Phoenix – 5x

Half-blood Prince – 3x

Deathly Hallows – once (because it’s not a book, e-books give me headache. hehe

Jotting down the numbers I have read each book, I realized “am I that dull?!” Haha.. The third book The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite; I read it numerous times, because it’s the first book that revealed significant events and story, the story of James (Harry’s father) and his friends in particular. Next to my list is the Order of the Phoenix, it’s the first book that I bawled my eyes out, it was when Sirius (Harry’s godfather) died. Huhu. After that, the Half-blood Prince, I also wept when Professor Dumbledore died. Huhu.. I was that engrossed with my reading that I ended up bawling each time a character dies. I also like the other books not that much compared to the first three.

I really like this series and I wish there will be another series like this, and when that time comes I will definitely buy it. :)

Freshmen Night 2008 (June)

Sounds fun isn’t it! After working our butts off (haha.. as if we’re that busy), rather than going home we made a stopover at the administration building to witness the annual practice of the University of welcoming the freshies. I was so disappointed because it rained heavily, the show started late (it was already 7 pm and yet the presentations of the freshies didn’t even got started). Boredom got to me and I was yawning the whole time not to mention that it was really cold. I never felt like a stranger in the school (after being present in every activities, events, presentations, seminars, etc. for 7 years) not until now (June 27, 2008) that our friends were presently serving their suspension. Waaa.. It was really an odd feeling that no one would welcome you, laugh with you and tease the freshies together with you. Huhu. Thus, we ended up eating all the pika-pika sold there. After that, came a realization that it was not fun at all so we decided to go home. On our way to the sakayan came the funniest argument I have ever heard in my entire life. Hihi.

Guy: Tahimik na place

Girl: ---------

Guy: Tahimik na place lang jud ang akong ginapangayo.

Haha.. What was that?! When we arrived at the sakayan we laughed our hearts out, the guy should have stayed silent while we were passing them. Haha…
