When Searching Harry Met Happy Sally

"Everyone seems busy today." gasped a handsome and slendered figure Harry to a stranger named Ludy. Then Ludy answered unhesitantly, "Yes, they're putting up an enrichment training for the kids."

Along the children's genuine laughter, the nervousness written on their parents faces and the staffs' hands on guidance to the kids, there goes Sally, who was outstanding among the crowd. She puts a happy face in dealing with the parents and the kids. She was extending her lovely arms to a young boy who initially asked her to play with him. Hers was a world of explosive laughter and cranky yet clever jokes. Though, she can be sometimes considered as an ADHD, most importantly she found passion in what she's doing.

Then Harry elbowed and whispered to Ludy. " I want to know that girl with a beautiful smile." Then Ludy said to him, " I think you find happiness in my bestfriend's personality. Come with me, I'll let you know each other." Then Harry's eyes sparkled as he approach Sally's busy yet down-to-earth lifestyle.

Harry Potter 7, will be surely missed

Why do I love the friendship among Harry, Ron and Hermione?

I think it’s because they know their PURPOSE as the protagonists in the book adaptation Harry Potter.

Just yesterday, I eagerly watched Harry Potter and the deathly hollows (Part 1) with my fave movie buddy in town, my sister, Pao. Oh my! I was really impressed and my anxiety grew with the dark visual and intense sound effects plus the vigorous and riveting musical compositions and the jaw dropping special effects . Well, this coming of age film never fails to flabbergast me from the first scene wherein Lord Voldemort gathered all his dark forces supporters in which he brutally tortures Professor Charity Burbage (it was a trembling scene for it showed their disloyalty between friends- Professor Burbage and Snape), until the final scene wherein he robbed Dumbledore’s wand for his undoubtedly evil interest. I was dismayed because I was programmed to end the whole scene wherein Harry Potter would finally defeat Voldemort.

 

But that’s the power of film, it may exudes your temper to wait for the next HP series.

I was really thrilled by the story line and twists. These questions occupied my mind after watching the movie and lemme share this to those who doesn’t watch the film yet. Why does Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) needs to change his wand in killing Harry Potter? Why did Harry(Daniel Radcliffe) turned undesirable in the Wizard’s world? Did Ron (Rupet Grint) got jealous over Harry’s and Hermione’s brilliance (Remember: Ron is sometimes dull headed)? OR it’s because Harry’s and Hermione’s partnership in defeating Voldemort are getting stronger? Who would betray who?

I also love the scene wherein the 3 characters consistently overcome their fears of independency, insecurity and disloyalty. It was such a never-ending struggle between the protagonists and antagonists. Contrary to Hermione's (Emma Watson) concerned nature, she showed fierceness in using her wand to kill the enemies' attacks. Yes, her character was really a hit for me. She depicted her physical and emotional capacity to survive, though we know that she’s a mudblood. Of couse, it’s also a much awaited scene on how Ron would vanquish his fear in helping the damsel in distress, Hermione.

Their friendship was tested. Voldemort, reigned with his vengeance. In the midst of story’s plot of turmoil and disarray, avid Potter readers will find some sense of control as the film revisits quite a few of the “obliviating” and scores of other spells, PolyJuice potions, and magical mirrored objects introduced in Harry’s earlier years at Hogwarts.

Though most of the cinematography exposed visual anxiety, there were also serene and humorous moments among the characters. The audience may find it hilarious too. As for me, I heard a group of high school students most of the time sharing their sighs along with the spectator like us..^_^

Every HP fans would wait for July until we’ll be over with this whole series. I’m not affected much, but I’ll surely miss this grandiose film of all time.

Happy Pepero day

Today is  Korea's celebration for Pepero day. It's similar with Valentines day.  It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date "11/11" resembles four sticks of Pepero. Every teacher here in the office had a unique way of greeting each of the students. And for me, I greeted them with enthusiasm and I asked them if they could also give me some (though it's impossible to do so, teasing is just a rapport building between me and my students.)It's kinda upsetting because 2 of my academy classes were done eating their pepero so I didn't have the chance to capture the box of pepero.: (

But Teacher Cherry sent through the message pop up her students showing her the strawberry flavored pepero, in which my advanced students confirm that it's not the original one. But it's ok. I was relieved to see this.

After handling 2 consecutive academies, I had a one on one class with Sam. During the circle time, I asked her if she ate some pepero today. And she said, " Yes." I told her to get it, unhesitantly she showed the pepero box. I excitedly took her a picture. : )

( Sam shyly showing her pepero)

Thank God for my 2 hour break atleast I could prepare some of my stuffs for this day, you know whether personal or job related paraphernalia. (That was the time where I had an idea in blogging about pepero)

          It needs to have a distinction between my kiddie and advanced student. So there you go.  It was more detailed to communicate with my highschool students. During the conversation that I had with my 3 male students, they told me that this day was only for couples. Since he was single and noone gave him pepero, he was quite upset for what he saw. Anyway, I affirmed him that we love him. He was relaxed. They were really funny students. ^ ^

I've tasted pepero already. It was like a crunchy snack coated with chocolate. Our Korean manager gave each teachers when she returned from Korea. Nice one! * ~ *

Child's eyes

Oct. 23, 2010

I'm currently sitting with this very bubbly, naughty, hyper-active Korean girl named Jessica. We used to call her "The Jessica" because she always puts "the-article-the" whenever she makes sentences. It's kinda tiring to sit with her, talk with her because she has so many inquiries(woah-whatta functioning brain!).


But I enjoyed being with her. She was plainfully cute and wonderful.


One time, she sweetly and innocently asked me if she could sit down on my lap while I was readying myself for the Demo of new book. I allowed her to do so.


Then she asked me if she truly looked like Sadako. Well, unabashedly her eyeballs were gone and I only see her sclera (happy halloween The Jessica and ENOZ!). Then I told her, "You look like Sadako whenever you do that expression, but when your eyes look normal, you appear like Pucca."  She went on, " Who's Pucca?" Then I set my eyes on the net and searched for pucca's image. Then I enlarged the cute photograph so that she could recognize it. She smiled at me and said, "I look like her?" And I said, " Yes!"

(The Jessica-pucca)

As I was thinking she only needed to hear another set of words, because she was used to hear a lot of teases that she looked like Sadako.


Then she asked me of what she could wear for the Halloween. I ceased for a second and said, "Maybe you could be a ghost!" She said, "Yes, I want too." We want to my station to get some props and voila! I found my websy cotton stuff for my halloween designed background. She said she wanted me to put these things on her dress that she may look like a ghost.

So I was looking forward to glance her on that day.

Press fast forward:

The Jessica walked on Enoz' aisle and parading her beautiful self from station to station. I expected more and I was right. I told myself, " I thought you'll be a ghost!"

But apparently she was outshining with her long black dress witchie costume.. That made the rest of us awe to her. : )

(I love you, pls don't pay a visit with me when I'm alone..~ _ ~)

Therapy

Have you ever been on a salon or spa house?
How about on a "manghihilot' or therapist?

If your answer is " Yes," be grateful because undergoing a smooth or hard massage is terrifically relaxing. The therapist's touch accompanied with lotion will get you fall into a deep and sound sleep.

BUT it depends on what kind of massage you undergo to. It's either you would encounter a hard massage which is normally found in a Healing center. Or in just a simple spa house. The difference between the 2 were on it's approach. On a healing center, you're firmly massage wherein the therapist touched the most painful part of your body whether it was on your back, upper and lower torso.

According to them, it's better to release all the pain in your body before it gets complicated on the latter part of our lives.

It's more of getting ahead of the greater pain and choosing the lesser pain in which the therapist is normally doing.

And on a spa, you could demand them to be gentle, if you feel like their getting hard on you.

This has a similarity with my life. For the past few years, I've faced countless problems and deeper pains ( I won't specify all yet) and with the positivity of my heart and mind, I've been blessed too.

I've always chosen the painful therapy for I'm aware of MY FATHER'S Future plan in me.

" All things work for good to those who love Him, and to those whom He called according to His purpose. : ( Romans 8:28)

My forever favorite Bible passage and my God's promise bullet.

Taking these glorious words, focused touch and affirmative result will lead me into a HEALING. : )

It's like refreshing all my dead cells, revitalizing the smooth flow of my blood streams and energizing my weak body.

My therapist is not just an ordinary one. But He is the PERFECT THERAPIST THAT WE COULD FREELY CONSULT EVERYTIME WE NEED A MENDING.

Without any surprises, HE IS OUR GOD. The God Of Healing. He healed all the wounded part of my soul. Including my depression and frustration. And mind you, He consistently works on me.: )

Woah, I'm forever grateful! : )

He healed me using His LOVE through the people who loves me and whom I love.

And that includes, You! : )

I also realized one thing. He showed me a High class way of therapy and that's through TEACHING.

Teaching kids to be kind to the elders, teaching people to be good to others and to theirselves, and teaching myself to be delightful from what I have and I'm going to have. : )

How about you?

How do you want to be healed, my friends and co-teachers?; )
