The usual blah blah...

I just watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last Thursday. It was great! Although I didn't really like the dark plot of the novel it was based on, the movie was an excellent interpretation of the book. I think the special effects have actually gotten better compared to the previous three. I was disappointed however that it was tremendously compressed. It didn't show the whole Quidditch World Cup game, the veelas, Fleur Delacour being a half-veela, etc. Every Harry Potter movie was actually compressed. It has to be for filming reasons. So personally, it's better to read the books.

What else? Oh I've created another blog for my poems. I just had the debut publication of a recent work. However, it's not one of the earliest poems I've made, which I would be posting soon.

The classes have formally started. And just at the first week, the teachers have attacked us with homeworks and quizzes! Just last Thursday, I and other two were assigned to report on Rizal's childhood days next meeting in History 104.

I guess that the faculty were asked to speed up the lectures because the second semester of this school seems to be always short. There are the Christmas break, Ateneo Fiesta, and... actually these are the only two significant holidays this sem.

Speaking of Ateneo Fiesta, I am obliged to join the Quiz Bowl. I was forced to join the elimination a few months ago. And look at the unexpecting me now? Nervous for the coming week, which is Ateneo Fiesta. I was also being forced to join the debate. Just last Wednesday, I and another one who shared the same bane approached the CSIT debate moderator to actually explain that we can't join. But there she was pleading that we are their only hope. That had us convinced. Then after a couple of days, we just realized that matterloading preparations conflict with our seemingly harmless academic requirements. Both of us decided to really quit.

Oh God, I feel lethargic this weekend. I have a lot of school work to finish but I haven't started any. *yawn* I wanna read Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince!
