happy birthday to harry potter and dan radcliffe

I've been preoccupied for the past weeks that I haven't had the time to post here. I will try to catch up with my post as often as my sched permits. So, for today I want to greet someone so immensely popular that he should be included yearly in Time's Most Influential People if he is only just really existing (jeje!)...the most popular wizard in wizarding world...JK's Harry Potter! To Harry James Evans Potter...happy 29th birthday to you!


I want also to greet the actor who's giving life to Harry...Belated Happy 20th Birthday to Daniel Radcliffe last July 23. May you have more birthdays and blessings to come!

the saga of darren shan

My long wait is finally over! Finally I have now the complete set of The Saga of Darren Shan. I red the first book few years ago and fell in love with the story considering that I don't read horror or vampire books (that time) and this saga is not even a romance-in-the-vampire-world. So, before Edward...it was Darren Shan who captured my heart (good thing it's not my blood). I looked for the first book of the saga which is the Cirque Du Freak because I red somewhere that Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) likes the book. After reading the 12 books I know in my heart I must have my own set of the saga. As JK Rowling said about this saga, "Leaves the reader hungry for more".


Vampire Blood Trilogy (red)
  • Cirque Du Freak
  • The Vampire's Assistant
  • Tunnels of Blood

Vampire Rites Trilogy (yellow)

  • Vampire Mountain
  • Trials of Death
  • The Vampire Prince

Vampire War Trilogy (purple)

  • Hunters of the Dusk
  • Allies of the Night
  • Killers of the Dawn

Vampire Destiny Trilogy (green)

  • The Lake of Souls
  • Lord of the Shadows
  • Sons of Destiny

paris jackson broke my heart

Paris Jackson's short speech during her daddy's memorial touched countless hearts including mine. I cried the first time I saw the video and I am shameless to admit that I still cry everytime I watch that vid. We may know MJ as a celebrity...as a king... but with his kids he will always be their daddy. To watch the video please click here.

mj's brain

Michael Jackson may had a very emotional memorial last July 7th but the whereabouts of his remains is not yet known for the family opted to give a part of MJ's brain as part of the investigation into how he died. That and being pure geniuses with their own crafts are the similarities between MJ and Albert Einstein. According to the book I red few months ago, Spilling the Beans on... ALBERT EINSTEIN by: Frances Mayes, the scientists then cubed Einstein's brain into 240 pieces after Dr. Thomas Harvey, a pathologist, photographed and pickled it (preserved in formalin, hehehe!). After cubing Einstein's brain they numbered each one and put them into two jars and been kept for 22 years until scientists from California decided to study the cubes and the photographs. Well as for MJ's brain, the investigators are just going to wait for the organ to harden before they can conduct neuropathology tests to help determine what caused Jackson's apparent cardiac arrest and subsequent death. Sometimes there's a big catch if you are a pure genius.

federer is world's no. 1!

Once again I want to congratulate my favourite...the master...Roger Federer for winning the Wimbledon championship against Andy Roddick. This is the 15th grand slam of Federer beating Pete Sampras' record of 14...what a man! I really wanted to wait for the on-line result of the game but because of time difference I only made it up to the third set last night. I just tried to wake up as early as possible to get on-line to know the result and what a great day today for Federer and to all of his fans! For the detailed news please click here and to visit Federer's official homepage here! To Federer, I love you! ahihihi!

harry potter 6 movie posters

Yehey! My long wait is over! Partly. I went yesterday to Broadway Palace Cinema, with Jenefer and Beth, to inquire if we can purchase now in advance the tickets for Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince movie which will be shown on July 15. Unfortunately, the tickets are not yet available, huhuhu. It only proves that ganoon kami ka-atat, hahaha! So, for consolation we saw these life-size posters of the HP6 and took the liberty to take some pictures despite of many onlookers, hehehe! I DON'T CARE!!! It's Harry Potter we are talking here guys, LOL! So, I want to share some of our pictures which I promised my sister, Ruthie, that I will post right away!
