Memorable Philippine TV Commercials Ever!

I really love watching commercials. I remember when we first had a puppy, Kulafu, I am greatly amused by its odd habit of stalking away once a program has resumed and staying still during commercial breaks.

And, yeah, back then, my siblings and I play a guessing game of commercial; a point is given for eacj corect guess of a commercial.

But as I grow up I learn to appreciate superbly written advertisements, and somehow Close Up toothpaste, Coke and, McDonald’s have consistently made this a tradition.

Bring Back the Record

Through Reading the Deathly Hallows

It is definitely worth it that JK Rowling decided to sacrifice the Half Blood Prince for this. The 6th book, just as what I said to my friends two years ago, is just a bridge to connect the 5th and the 7th books. It doesn’t have its own story. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is for me the most exciting (the 6th is the darkest) among the seven installments. Reading the book feels like that someone is watching me behind, crouching in darkness ready to pounce once it senses that I have let down my guards, the last time I felt this way was when I read The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The pace of the story runs very quickly, yet it is still as detailed as the other previous volumes. The interactions between the characters are still very much convincing.

It is so exciting, heck, I read the whole book in just one sitting. It took me longer than with the Half Blood Prince though.

But I think JK Rowling made a mistake once; (Spoiler Alert) remember when Hermione and Ron explained Harry how they prepared for their upcoming journey? Ron showed Harry the Ghoul in the Pajamas while Hermione explained that she altered her parents’ memory. But after the wedding, when they apparated and encountered some death eaters, Hermione hesitated to do the memory charm saying that she hasn’t done it yet.

And, did you notice, for the first time JK Rowling wrote an exact date in the book; 1981 (in the Godric’s Hallow) and 1940 something for Dumbledore VS Grindelwald duel?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I just had the book this afternoon. I didn’t pay for the reservation that’s why. Anyway, as much as I want to read the book now, I prefer not to. I have a long exam tomorrow at nine in Psychiatric Nursing (including the dynamics of behavior patterns and symptoms and the psychopharmarcology). I’ll just read it tomorrow afternoon, afterall, I am 10PM to 6Am shift on Wednesday so i am allowed to spend the whole night reading the book then I’ll just sleep in the morning. I think I can read the whole book in one night, it is just a little bit thicker than the Half-Blood Prince anyway.

Sleepless in Duty

When we met our CI he quickly mentioned his relief because we are all non graduates in our group. It turned out that he endured three consecutive hellish, sleepless nights wrestling against the Monday to Wednesday Group-who are all consisted of second courser with some are registered doctors and dentists.

What happened was that when he welcomed that group for their 10PM t0 6AM duty last Monday, he noticed that one of the girls was chewing a gum. So he told the girl that next time he won’t tolerate it. Since our CI was a freshly graduate, Batch 2006-he hasn’t got a Masteral yet, and was definitely younger than anyone in the group, the girl thought that she can pick on him. The girl answered back by saying, “Sir, what was the rationale behind that?” So he calmly expressed that that it is very much unethical if they would face other hospital personnel and the patients while chewing a gum. The girl retorted that she’ll just stop chewing it once she’s in front of them.

And our CI recounted the rest of his night’s misfortune of meeting our Group’s Monday to Wednesday counterpart (we are the Group 1 and they are the Group A). I wanted to ask why he didn’t give the girl an incidental report but our group has an agreement to not to meddle with other group’s and other school’s affairs inside the ward so I just exclaimed my disbelief by gasping “grabe naman yun.” and by contorting my face to look that I am in disbelief and definitely appalled by the group’s insurmountable disrespect.

It must have been really hard for our CI. Actually I have never been really close with any second coursers, let alone those medical doctors and denstists. I’ve been hearing things about them from the other groups also. It was indeed brave for him to stand his ground against those huge (literally) people. And it wasn’t easy, imagine spending the whole night with them, boy, that’s suicide.

Sidney Sheldon

I tried again to read a sidney sheldon book yesterday and I stopped as I was about to start the second chapter.

 I really hate his storytelling. Five settings and a massive number of characters appear indiscriminately in just one chapter. My classmates and friends have been blabbing how they love him but I really cannot enjoy such complicated narrations with really simple and sometimes ridiculously, ambitious plots.

 Anyway I really love watching this anime, Perfect Girl Evolution in YouTube.com; this is really funny.
