3 Reasons why my "Blogging" is hindered (everytime)

Basically, I can write about stuff whenever and wherever I want. Be it on my mind, be it in the shower where I make life decisions, or even that time in class where everyone is completely blank. However, there are problems that never fail to present themselves whenever I feel the urge to discuss and analyze a particular topic or issue (even rants, mind you) and hinder me from creating a bountiful and (possibly) useful post.

Among the top contenders are [there are 3 (originally 5, but meh)]:

Author's note: Please, please, pretty please read. Put strikethrough here.

Free Willy

Meh, I didn't watch this movie. It's a movie right? Then, why was Willy called free? Did he/she had his/her freedom? Was he/she allowed to do whatever he/she wanted?

In a way, I am like Free Willy. I am free, although not free in the sense that I could do whatever I want. I'm free because I have nothing to do. I will start initiating. I will start working. I will start developing. Rather than will, I shall. I'm a procrastinator though, so I won't wonder if someday I'm still idle. If I'm still the same lonely boat on the turbulent rapids, going wherever the waves go. If I'm still the same ol' one who keeps on dreaming, who keeps on isolating, who keeps on being crazy, who keeps on being aloof.

But hey, I'm trying hard. I'm trying to be an author now. Well, here's my hanky. Wipe the tears off your eyes. That was just a literary idea. No big deal, seriously. Embracing a new task now.

PS. The procrastinator part was true.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: The Last Installment

The final installment of the Harry Potter series is now up - with a trailer. Watch it here:

After an extended opening showing Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) approaching Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), the trailer blazes through a montage of some of the big action moments in the films: Harry flies over London on Hagrid's motorcycle, runs for his life through the forest, and gets attacked by a giant snake. Harry's friends also get to show their heroic sides, with Hermione (Emma Watson) standing up to a threat with wand drawn, and Ron (Rupert Grint) swinging a sword.

The trailer also gives a look at the epic scope of the movies. It shows the gigantic dragon that guards the vaults of Gringotts Bank. Hogwarts is surrounded by a dome of fiery energy. And the students run away as the school is blasted with explosions. It all leads up to Harry and Voldemort facing off against each other in the courtyard, locked in their climatic battle.

You're not going to get to see that fight, though, for another year. The first part of "The Deathly Hallows" will open in theaters on November 19 of this year, but the second half won't be out until July 15, 2011. That will be nearly 10 years since the first movie hit screens in 2001.

Splitting one massive "Potter" book into two movies isn't a new idea. The filmmakers considered splitting "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" into separate films, but decided instead to trim out many of the novel's subplots and just focus on Harry's story. That wasn't an option for the sprawling final book, so they chose to divide it into halves. Naturally, they did consult with J.K. Rowling first, and she agreed with their decision.

Both parts will be shown in 3D, though they were shot in 2D and will be converted in post-production. Segments of the past two "Potter" films were adapted to 3D, but this is the first time a full movie will undergo the process.

If you think that saying good-bye to Harry Potter will be emotional for you, don't worry, you're not alone. Daniel Radcliffe said in a recent interview that he and his costars were all overwhelmed when they filmed the final shot of the series. He told MTV, "I didn't expect myself to get particularly emotional but I really did." Radcliffe said the last shot he filmed was a simple stunt of him jumping and rolling onto a mat, and when that was finished, "It just was bizarre; really, really strange indeed."

I hope I won't be disappointed. Why? Because,

1. I have already read the book. I know all the twists and turns, what really happened, the real action, the scenes. Therefore, if an exciting part in the book is dropped in the movie, I shall truly be disappointed. Pretty much like the Half-Blood Prince. Lots of good scenes were omitted.
   
2. The book was such an exciting read. The movie should do it justice.
3. Since it's the last, why need to cut down costs? ha ha ha.

But since it will be divided into two parts, I think it will contain all the vital and critical scenes in the book. I really hope so, since the book was such a page-turner.


This is all I can blog, since I'm pretty much devastated these days. Sick and tired.

A long and endearing vacation

Didn't I say I'm sarcastic? Oh, you weren't informed? Then please, help yourself. The door is over there. Get out of my office and talk to my secretary. You won't? Oh. Security? There's an intruder in my office. Get him out of my office. Right now!

*end of mind theatre*

Well, yes I'm sarcastic, but I'm also sarcastic sarcastic. I don't make sense? Put it this way. You have made a trap. But that trap is also a trap. So, it's a trap 'trap'. Get it now? Good. Therefore, my vacation will be really long. 3 months ain't bad, eh? Yeah, I know. But endearing? No. I'm not bored, but that doesn't mean my vacation's already endearing. As you can see, endearing has another whole lot of definition. And it doesn't define my vacation, sorry.

I'm having fun, yes. Who doesn't like going out into the sun (though it's super hot the sun might actually burn your skin so bad), exploring, going to malls, shopping, videogaming, surfing, and all other stuff related to summer vacation? That person must be nuts. I sorta have it all - in the present. The present doesn't define the future as it doesn't define the past. Whether you're having fun in the present or not, it doesn't guarantee that you'll experience the same in the future. It's like, your attitude today doesn't define your attitude tomorrow. Yeah, it's already proven many times: the only thing that's constant is the world is change.

You could say I'm in shallow water, since it's not really that deep. But oh, curse the Ministry back home for their slow processing of important papers and documents. Don't they know that one's fate is entirely dependent on their hands? I wish they knew how important they are and stop don't giving a penny in their job. I certainly can deduce why our pride has been so painstakingly negative to others. It hurts, when one of your compatriots doesn't consider his pride as a whole, it hurts when one of your compatriots isn't selfless as you are. The question has always been "how far can you go?", yet it remains unanswered.

I have always been aware of fake nationalism. I do not deny it, nor I condemn it. It has always been there. Unseen. Neglected. That it why actions always speak louder than words. Then why are they still doing it, I wonder.

Fonts & Nuisances

I'm having a teeny bit of trouble with fonts. Apparently, my first post doesn't change its font even if I forcefully edit it. All my other posts don't behave the same though, thank goodness. I couldn't say I didn't have troubles with fonts before though, because as far as I could remember, this is my first problem when I have started blogging here at blogger a long, long time ago too. It was one of the factors that made me quit blogging. But of course, I was still immature back then.

And now, am I still?
