Are you ready for "Deathly Hallows?"

Dumbledore's Army
I just have to admit I’m a fan girl. The time has come. After all my valiant attempts to deny trueHarry Potter fandom which I think is far more worthy than Twilight (no violent reactions from Twilight fans please), I think I have to embrace it. I’m a nerd. I like books. And I’ve fallen in love with a story about a boy wizard.
With that out of the way, I can go on to tell you that I’m ridiculously excited about the upcoming film. This is the first time I’ll get to nerd out over a Harry Potter movie. I’m actually so thrilled.
Deathly Hallows comes out on November 19th (which, as far as I’m concerned, means midnight on the 18th – a Thursday). That strikes me as a little odd – don’t films usually come out on Wednesdays?I have no idea either but just the same, I’m in my excited mode and suffice to say that the movie will be released on the third week of November, I guess I have a lot of time to save more money :)
Lack of money is still bothering me, I have  a lot of payments to do, But will this stop me? Hells no! (What did I tell you? I’m married to Harry Potter!)
I will be seeing the 3D or IMAX. I feel like I’ve earned that and I deserve it.
Meet the Muggles :)

Dayrit's



I've only eaten at Dayrit's like once before and I already have forgotten their menu so when we got back with my cousins, my cousins told me that their prices have soared. Well, can't blame them since nothing is really that cheap nowadays.



Their interiors have changed, before they have simple designs and no decorations at all, thank goodness their food stayed the same. Much to our happiness we enjoyed the food, the tender and juicy beefy goodness has stayed pretty much the same with their sandwiches and burgers. The serving is big enough for a full meal, bite after bite of that beefy flavor leaves me craving for more. 


There will be more visiting for sure here at Dayrit's. And there are now a lot more to try on their menu. But if you ask me, I'd stick with anything on the menu that has roastbeef in it. This is one of their best sellers and are actually really delicious.

Freedom Writers


What can i say?I totally love this movie. Hilary Swank is such an amazing actress and this movie made me cry and made me realize big things such a racism, how to belong, friendship and acceptance. This is based from a true story. Erin Gruewell is a new teacher at Wilson High School and she was placed in a very challenging class. This class is different,a diverse group of racially charged teenagers from different walks of life--African Americans, Latinos, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members, and underprivileged students from poor neighborhoods--hope for nothing more than to make it through the day, without giving up, she tried almost everything to help them and even touch their lives. Change is something that we can all achieve if we just believe that we can do it. If, we never loose hope. Directed by Richard LaGravenese.

Deja vu


How I miss Boracay, I will definitely be coming back for more :)

Hachiko - A Dog Story



I just finished watching Hachiko - A dog story and I really love it. I’ve never been so emotional watching a movie like this before, about a dog story, aside from watching Marley and Me. This movie is awesome. I love the plot of the story which evolves on how loyal and loving dogs can be to their masters.

The story is about Hachi who was taken in by Professor (Gere) and took care of him, he will always follow him whenever he’s going to work and waits for him in the train station. It was always like that until one day, Professor Parker didn’t come back because he died that day of heart attack. For 9 years Hachi would always go at the train station hoping to see his master. I remember our dog snoopy, he would always wait for me when i came home from school. I miss having a dog in the house, they bring happiness to everyone, a simple gesture of licking your hand or by just looking at you and following you around makes you feel special. That’s how dogs treat their masters, i wish all of us could have a trait like that. Loyalty and being dependable.

Everyone should watch this movie, a lot of lesson learned and prepare a box of tissue because this is a major tearjerker movie. One you’ll never forget for the rest of your life, one that will remind you that once in your life, you had a dog like Hachi too.
