Love conquers all. Romeo x Juliet

Conflict, hatred, sadness, pain. That which allows one to savor them all. Thats is… love. The two of you taught us the joy of love.
— William Farnese, Romeo X Juliet, Fin 

Shakespeare’s novel have come down to ages & passed generation through generation. And in our time, the reenactment of one of the legend’s novel had come to action. The anime adaptation ofRomeo x Juliet has its great depth. This one is not of those ~fantasy romance~ where one story leads to a happy ending. 

Never I encounter a story such as this; where both protagonist offered lives for the one they love. This may be a loose idea from W. Shakespeare’s idea of the original, the adaptation itself have rights to stand on its own.

What I like about this is that its uniqueness from others. The anime holds that same emotion throughout the series. Every episode leaves you hanging and makes your spirit ecstatic.

William Shakespeare, himself, had his own appearance in the person of William Farnese. Though he may be the only one who hold the wittiness of the story, he never failed to show his playwright’s enthusiasm. The way he ended the series really did give a smooth satisfaction to me, though the important persons vanished.

Romeo and Juliet. These two persons was destined to fall in love, but was toyed by fate. Through them, never did I realize that their “In life & in death”vow may be a strong promise for them to face their battle.

Though the anime disappoint me in a way that these two will be alive ‘til the very end, I was very impressed that the aftermath of their battle seemed to satisfy me. 

And please, who wouldn’t cry out when you hear the anime’s theme song on the background, playing while the last episode is playing? Inori ~You Raise Me Up~ is a very very very good choice for this melodramatic anime. I admit, I cried like child when the first note of the song played already. The song itself was very… immaculate. It will moved your heart to tears.

— This anime is one of a kind. ASDFGGHJKL;; I SOLEMNLY VOW TO FOREVER LOVE THIS ANIME. The story, the effects, the song, the setting… everything. Everything is wonderful and amazing. I could die.

Nice To Be Back!

HELLO Zamboanga! It has been a week since I got home from Cebu and yeah, I got sad knowing that I must go back here in our place. I really had a BLAST living in Cebu for almost 4 months but unfortunately, Life is unfair. I thought that I can live all by myself and get a job that I'm craving for but it's a torment for me when there were times that I really need help and not all the people around me can give a help coz they have their own expenses too. And also, I realized that this is not the right time yet for me to get a job here in Cebu. So, I decided just to go home and be with my family.

11 months ♥

[I was supposed to blog this entry last Sunday, September 4 but I've been very busy when I got home in Zamboanga  so, I'm very sorry that I just blog this entry today, I hope you'll understand my situation right now. But anyway, I still love to write things about you Baby and this short dedication that I made was the MOST beautiful for me :) And I hope you'll love it.] 


A celebration of love.

A celebration of grace.

A celebration of GOD.

Today was a blast. 

All my examples and testimonies were about Kim and I. I thank GOD that our relationship continues to glorify HIM alone!

After more than a year of friendship and 11 months of love and commitment, we're still going stronger and becoming more in love with each other and with GOD.

To my Baby, I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! HAPPY 11TH MONTHSARY! We're gonna be a year soon. I can hardly wait to see you. I grow more in love with you every second of everyday. Everyday is our celebration of love. A celebration of us and GOD in our lives.

Deathly Hallows Part 2 " My movie Review"

BEWARE!

MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!

Just saw Deathly Hallows part 2 and oh god.
So many epic parts and it all lasted for 130 glorious minutes. I WANT TO FIND DAVID YATES’ FACE. SO I CAN PUNCH IT AND THEN HOLD IT AND SOB.

I just watched it 3 hours ago but there’s so many fantastic parts I have no idea where to start, so this is going to be a part-ramble, part-gushing, mostly emotional sajdhsjkdhajkdjka post.


NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM BAMF-BOTTOM  Part of me that thinks if Neville was the ~chosen one~ instead of Harry [let’s just assume an AU from here onwards alright? thinking about Neville’s personality mainly, not plot loopholes] and he got some sort of love protective thing too like Harry, shit would still come together cause Neville’s just as courageous as Harry, he just needed a situation that would give him a ‘push’ of some sort.


Gringotts/Hermione-as-Bellatrix/dragon
Was the first part in gringotts when Hermione’s an absolute fail as Bellatrix supposed to be amusing?
CAUSE WHAT THE ACTUAL Fuuuuuu! . WAS I SUPPOSED TO GIGGLE OR CURL INTO A BALL OF NERVES? GODDAMMIT STOP MUCKING WITH MY EMOTIONS. (somehow still enjoyed the immense confusion it brought. >_>)
The dragon was honestly fabulous though.

PROF. McGONAGALLHBIC dueling snape like a pro and
“I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO USE THAT SPELL.”
ahhhhhhhhh fdjakdjslkd I. LOVE. YOU.

SNAPE’S MEMORIES
This part was so heart-wrenching you can just FEEL your insides curling up. Godammit it was so well done.
His childhood as this cute little misunderstood kid (sidenote here but DAMN. Lily’s red hair was so blindingly gorgeous in the scene where she was lying on the ground with Snape. Don’t know it was the 3D or nerves or anxiety induced color-amplification, but it was absolutely flawless.), his conversations with Dumbledore, seeing the doe, Snape going “Always.”, him holding Lily and sobbing. EVERYTHING COULD’VE JUST KILLED ME THERE AND THEN.

More parts I love in short bulletpoints cause my English is beyond incoherent now:

• The Hermione/Ron kiss was absolutely adorable. Just barely escaping some scary water-Salazar and without Harry interrupting them, I LOVED IT.

• Harry saving Draco in the room of requirement. Small part, but my Harry/Draco shipper heart made some serious ugly sounds of happiness. WHEN WILL A GOOD QUALITY VERSION OF THE MOVIE BE LEAKED? NEED.GIFS.NOW.
• Luna’s the smartest little cookie ever. MY FAVOURITE RAVENCLAW. (sadly there ain’t many ravenclaws to love though trololol) 
• Helena Ravenclaw, you are a hell of a beautiful dead person.
• Epilogue wasn’t as cringe-worthy as I expected it to be. Luckily Albus Severus’ face was adorable but I still want to smack the name off his birth cert. Wasn’t extremely exciting, but it was a good way to end things: calmingly.

A few parts I dislike:

• Fred, Tonks, Lupin’s death scenes were too short. I know they aren’t too memorable as characters to non-HP stans, but HP-stans absolutely love them to bits. They should’ve at least made the scene a minute or two longer.
• WHERE IS THE GRINDELWALD-DUMBLEDORE-ABERFORTH-ARIANA STORY.
• WHERE IS PETER PETTIGREW’S DEATH.
  STOP CUTTING. JUST STOP. STOOOOPPPP.

All in all though, FANTASTIC MOVIE. I’m so relieved that the last movie in the franchise did the book justice.

Now I just need to find time to re-watch it a few hundred more times.

The end of the Era

“The stories we love best do live in us forever. So whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.” - JK Rowling


I’m excited, devastated, happy, and nostalgic all at once. I’ve been trying and failing to think of some poignant or resonant way to sum up how I’m feeling right now. I know that by Thursday July 14 one of the most important parts of my life is ending, and I can’t help but feel like I’m saying goodbye to a close friend.

It seems a bit silly how much I’m allowing the end of a series of films to affect me, but it’s not just the end of the films that has me in this state. The Potter films are part of something bigger to me (and to a lot of other people) - the Harry Potter series has shaped me as a person.I still remember how I started the series. By 2000, the first movie just came out. My mom bought that VCD Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone.At first, I thought it will be just a boring movie and I didn't watch it. Eventually, I got so bored I picked up Sorcerer’s Stone. I haven’t looked back since.

It’s hard to explain just how much of an influence the Potter novels have had over me. My values stem from Potter - my belief that loyalty, bravery, and love are the most important things in this world. They made me fall in love with reading; made me want to be a writer. They gave me courage and reminded me to live.I think one of the main reasons why this is affecting me so much, and other people in my age-range, is that we grew up with Harry Potter: I have very few memories of my life before the series. And there’s the timing. The last book came out the summer before I graduated high school, and now the last movie is coming out the summer before I graduate from college. I feel like it’s marking the end of my childhood in a way that no birthday ever could.

Potter got us reading. We were a generation of kids who were supposed to be glued to video games and television shows. Instead, we were queuing at midnight for books. Millions of kids finding a love of reading all because this amazing woman wrote a story about a scrawny kid with weird glasses. And not just reading, Potter turned us into active readers. We read and reread, looked for metaphors and foreshadowing, created elaborate and intricate theories for what we thought was going to happen in the next books. That’s something professors can’t get a lot of college students to do, but Potter had us doing it for fun in middle school. The wait and anticipation between books were two of my favorite parts of growing up with Potter. I’m incredibly nostalgic for that time, and even more grateful that I got to experience it.

HARRY POTTER ends

Trio on their UK premiere

We grew up with the series. We grew up with Daniel, Emma, Rupert and the rest of gang. Its sad to see the official books and now the movies too.

But that does not mean they’re gone forever.

Harry Potter will never end. It will forever live on in words and moving pictures. We won’t forget it, like history. HP was the first book I managed to read from beginning to end. It made me appreciate literature. It made an impact to so many people, not only me. I don’t blame them, it’s a beautifully written series. Good morals are taught such as the meaning of friendship to major themes such as death. Also, many people create imagery, musicals to now a theme park, it will never die. The magic will forever live.

To those who say “My childhood is ending”, I partially agree. As we grow up, they grew up, so it makes it really special for all us, because time followed us. I disagree a bit also because it doesn’t mean we have to give up what we love, it made an impact on all of us, each differently.

When we miss the trio or any character, you can always pick up the book or watch the movie, they won’t disappear

“Whether you come back by film or by page, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.” - JK Rowling

To me HP played a big role in my childhood, and I’ll forever embrace it. If I ever have children, I’ll make sure they should read what I grew up with.

I didn’t get to watch the permiere because I’m sitting on the other side of the world but just by looking at photos and video clips, I can understand where everyone is going at. Time surely flies.

Joanne Kathleen Rowling (Creator of Harry Potter)

Thank you JK Rowling, for everything.

Harry Potter will be a legend.
