The Future Of Harry Potter Revealed!

the announcement J.K Rowling made about Albus Dumbledore having a sexual orientation of a gay left many confused, startled and outraged but i guess it doesn't matter anymore.

by the way, the secret door in author J.K Rowling’s official site, better known as the Room of Requirement has opened again!

this time there's no tricks whatsoever. just click on the doorknob to swing open the door.

on her desk laid a piece of paper with the Dark Mark sign on it... [Spoiler's Ahead!]



click on the paper, and it will show up.

the Weasley family tree is clearly illustrated and written on the piece of paper.


should you even feel surprised? heh.

The Bucket List


just caught The Bucket List. i shed a tear, laughed quite a bit. well i'm not going to say much. but i'll give you 5 good reasons why you should go catch it.



  1. Academy Awards Winning actors Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson both starred in the movie (and John Mayer sings the theme song for the movie!)
  2. because life's too short to miss a well crafted movie/ storyline
  3. you won't wanna miss the beautiful sceneries featured in the movie
  4. refreshingly funny...cutesy!
  5. learn the epiphany in life and death
if the above 5 reasons did not do much justice, i extracted this from a review in IMDb
"One of the most fun and uplifting films of the year, Rob Reiner's The Bucket List is also a likely contender for Academy Award nominations. Wonderfully sarcastic dialogue, poignant exchanges between excellently crafted characters, and an overall beautiful tale of mortality and morality, The Bucket List is an excellent opportunity for two of the greatest actors of our time to show off their inimitable techniques. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman have a chemistry that will have you laughing until you cry and crying at the sight of something truly majestic."

Flowers For Algernon

"And I had almost forgotten.

Only a short time ago, I learned that people laughed at me.

Now I can see that unknowingly I joined them in laughing at myself. That hurts most of all.

I have often reread my early progress reports and seen the illiteracy, the childish naïveté. the mind of low intelligence peering from a dark room, through the keyhold, at the dazzlinglight outside. In my dreams and memories I've seen Charlie smiling happily anduncertainly at what people around him were to saying. Even in my dullness I know I was inferior. Other people had something i lacked - something denied me. In my mental blindness, I had believed it was somehow connected with the ability to read and write, and i was sure that I could get those skills I would have
intelligence too.

Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men.
A child may not know how to feed itself, or what to eat, yet it knows hunger
."

- Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes

i suggest people to read this book. a simple story of a low intellectual man who wants to be just like anyone else accepted an offer to be an experiment that changes him to become wiser. the story potrayed a man's journey on realising who he really is and what he really wants in his life; shows its curiousity, domineering side of men and at its weakest.

--------------------

and i was trying to concentrate with the book when i sensed the person facing me was staring directly at me the whole journey back home. it was fucking obvious because her shifty eyes were like everywhere when i tried staring back at her. when i shifted my attention back to the book, she stares right back again. it's so annoying i wanted to show her the finger. but then again, i wore office wear and its just weird showing the finger (though i dont do it). by the way, it's really rude to stare a person. weren't you taught manners?! *clicks tongue

Cry And Laugh And Cry Again

i would like to do a review on this book im currently reading. and i think it's the forth time i have been reading this book. you might think im crazy and yes i am beacuse the fact is, this book made me cry and laugh and cry and laugh and cry again. (oh you get my gist)

so what is so amazing about this book? let me tell you.

as many of you might have already heard about this author, Nicholas Sparks, has the flair for writing especially book genres of romance and more romance. and oh i am so going to get his collection of work because i believe his books are not only written with a spoonful of wit, a bowlful of humour, a tinge of sadness and not to mention, love.

"She smiled at me and I smiled at her and all I could do was wonder how I'd ever falen in love with a girl like Jamie Sullivan." - Landon Carter

he never thought he would, but he did anyway. this story potrays a romance between Landon Carter, the guy who claimed to have been in love but never thought he would ever fall for the daughter of Beaufort's Baptist minister, Jamie Sullivan.

"There was a time when the world was sweeter...
and something happened to a seventeen-year-old boy that would change his life forever." - A Walk To Remember

his life changed. he learnt about the joy of giving, the pain of loss and, most of all, the transforming nature of love. being with Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood...

a great book like this shouldnt be missed. the writer sets you into the story perfectly, as if its just happening right in front of your eyes. its simply amazing. you will laugh and cry, and even better, learn something in life. well, what say you?
