(haha. yun lang pala ang kelangan gawin para mag text kayo! hmp!) at wow! andami na palang bago sa friendster.. i’ve been living under a rock.. tsktsk..  anyhoo.. (teneng-teneng-teneng-teneng….)

HARRY POTTER and the HALF-BLOOD PRINCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ish July 16, Saturday.. my alarm went off at 6:00am.. mad dash to the bathroom to shower and make mumug (and toothbrush).. olympic speed in getting dressed.. chugged a glass of Nesvita for breakfast.. and made a marathonic commute to Powerbooks Megamall.. All the while hoping to be the first person to get her hands on the new Harry Potter book.. BUT NO! a hundred people also had the same thing in mind.. potek! ang haba na ng pila when i got there at around 6:45 am.. buti nalang cute yung nasa harapan ko ("Uhmm, excuse me, is this the line for Harry Potter?").. Powebooks opened at exactly 7:01 am and we were welcomed by people dressed in wizard costumes.. ang tyut!! Then, the infamous opening theme of the HP movie was playing at Tower Records and the film showing started too! And then, right in the middle of it all are two enormous piles of HP 6 books! My gosh, the feeling of finally getting your hands on that book was so… magical! Para ngang nagningilid ang tears of joy ko! ahihi.. after people paid for their books, everyone was treated to a steaming cup of free coffee.. never had Nescafe tasted this good! ahehe.. after that, i went home because kating-kati na ko to start reading.. i opened my copy and before i realized it, it was already 6pm.. (time to put down HP and get ready for dinner out with berks) got home at around 3am.. OA naman kung magbabasa pa din ako eh i cant even walk straight *wink*.. so i resumed my addictive reading the next day and finished the book at 9pm on Sunday..

GRABE! This is probably the richest, most emotional and best-written in all 6 books!

– it’s full of answers to a lot of things
– a lot of emotions coming from the characters
– Harry, Ron and Hermione’s all grown up.. and are falling in luuuv.. hihihi..
– dark times for Muggles..
– bad Draco.. bad Draco.. but i pity him despite everything
– new magic tricks.. new characters.. new thingies..
– made me miss Sirius..
– still a lot of questions..
– the unexpected half-blood prince.
– sad sad sad ending… :’(

Basta. you HAVE to read this.. JK Rowling is like, really talented! Super saludo ako sa imagination nya.. She could make you want to believe that Harry’s magical world exists.. Like, you actually want to live in that world.. That’s how great she writes. It’s sad kasi i think yung next, Book 7 is the last in the HP series..  Sad feeling, kinda like what i felt when i watched Return of the King, knowing na wala nang kasunod..

But who knows.. anything’s possible with magic.

~~ more to come.. =)
