The Eiffel Tower(s) of Dagupan City

OF course, an 81-storey, 1063-feet, 324-meter tall tower (Eiffel Tower, Wikipedia) cannot be seen in Dagupan City. My dad actually mentioned that Dagupan's land is soft so a building that high would have been impossible to build (Ernie Go's know-it-alls). But we have the perfect sites just like that famous landmark in Paris which may not be the most aesthetically challenging to the sight but it will certainly be the most appetizing in taste and in ambiance.

The Elemental Awesomeness of Extreme Spectacularism.. Legen (wait for it..) DARY! - My Harry Potter 7.2 Review

It was awesome.
We waited an hour for the gates to open with fellow fans. Our game plan, 'To look like complete idiots for a day and just run for it..". Batikan la ya! The excitement's just rushing in as one of the security guards appear at the bag checking area of the entrance. I look at the other opponents and there they are. One with a Starbucks coffee. One wearing a Gryffindor scarf which I wanted to rip off. Others just lurking by hoping to be as subtle as they can so that they may appear as a regular muggle when in reality, they're wizards as well. Wizards like us. I would use the Alohamora charm to open the gates followed by Imperio to the guards but it just wouldn't be fair. And where's the fun in that, right?

My Review

To my fellow college 'drop-per', 'fail-er', irresponsible, selfish, narcissistic friends

I graduated from high school last 2003. After that, I've decided to take up BS Nursing which is a four-year course. I graduated from college last 2009. Mathematically, I took up Nursing for 6 years. I was stupid, selfish and irresponsible. To make the long introduction short, I (a word that rhymes with suck but in past tense and starts with the letter F) up.

It's just great that I have the most patient and wonderful parents but still, it's probably the greatest regret that I had. I was selfish. I kept thinking that this isn't what I wanted. I wanted something else. I made that my reason to drop subjects, fail classes, be downright stupid. I transferred to another university just so I can start out fresh and yes, it has helped me a little to make it through but sometimes, you couldn't help but feel a little left out especially when you realize that everyone is younger than you.

So I make this blog to my fellow college 'drop-per', 'fail-er', irresponsible, selfish, narcissistic friends who are stuck in college

Goodbye to the Muggle World

Lately, 50 percent of my tweets is about the upcoming and last installment of the Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. For a girl who followed JK Rowling's writings for the past 10 years, it feels like the end of a good Christmas vacation. Non-fans would probably not understand. The books would last forever but it's the anticipation of the movie that I would miss the most.

What's so great about JK Rowling anyway?

The Bida and Kontrabida of Filipino Soap Operas

It's 7 o'clock and already, the family's about to start dinner. Dad calls everyone to the table with his infamous script, "How many times do I have to call you?" but Yaya refuses to eat and counters back, "Mauna na kayo." - a scene common in the Filipino household. It may not be the exact scene but more or less, it is like that. The question is, why does Yaya refuse to eat? Ding, ding, ding! Alas! We have an answer. It's because Mara Clara or Mula Sa Puso or Ikaw na Sana is on.

I was practically in that scene before. Of course, we don't have Yaya's (we have butlers who carry us to our table and put food on our mouth - wishful thinking). But I grew up watching these telenovelas from ABS CBN and GMA. And in a span of years, I finally found out the secret formula of a Filipino Soap Opera.

About the Title

I've decided to put my writing prowess (clears throat) into good use and start this new blog. I probably have at least 3 blogs which I've started but this time, I swear to myself (like how I swear to do the dishes after dinner) that I will continuously write as much as possible.

About the title. I guess, it would seem pretty obvious. I do have a big forehead. I wanted the title to be 'The girl with the Lightning Scar' or 'The Lost Daughter of Superman's Dad'. Unfortunately, none of those are true. So this is me, giving out to the world (whoever you are) that I have a huge forehead that thinks a lot. Even when the situation doesn't need thinking, it still thinks. Sometimes, I have this strange feeling that I have an autopilot, just running through my brain even when I'm on manual mode.

So here we go..
