I love the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. I really want to reread the books for the nth time but feel that there's so much more that I need to read instead of them (since I've read the books loads of times already).
I'll be posting quotes I like from the books and maybe some from the movies.
The following are taken from a site that has a collection of quotes.
It's a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up. -J.K. Rowling, "The Hungarian Horntail," Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2000
If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals. ~J.K. Rowling, "Padfoot Returns," Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2000, spoken by the character Sirius Black
It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more. ~J.K. Rowling, "The Cave," Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, 2005, spoken by the character Albus Dumbledore
Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution with our curiosity... yes, indeed. ~J.K. Rowling, "The Pensieve," Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2000, spoken by the character Albus Dumbledore
I think I'll organize these into those that can be understood even out of the Harry Potter world and those particular to HP. The movie quotes would be separated too. Gosh, how I love HP. I wish JK would start on the encyclopedia already.

Summer
Finally, after three years of not being able to go swimming, I was able to swim last Easter Sunday. Jordy invited us to her family's outing at Laguna since it's her last year here. :(
We stayed at a private resort called Villa Lucci at Pansol, Laguna. It had a private pool and kiddie pool that was only filled with unchlorinated water when we arrived. There were also three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Other amenities include a billiard table, videoke, and cabanas. It was so much fun even if there are just a few of us left in our barkada. I'm going to miss them so much. I'm very grateful that Jordana and her family treated us to this outing.
Sarah passed the NCLEX! Her results came out really quick, actually. Just three to four days, I think. We are all so proud and happy for her.
I'll just return to our Laguna trip. Since it was Easter, we heard mass at the local parish. I was approached by one lady to offer a thanksgiving during the offertory. I was hesitant since I didn't want to walk but when I saw that we would be many I agreed. (I was trying to pass the envelope to my friends and Jordy's dad.) Obviously, the thanksgiving is for Sarah's NCLEX and the graduation of Bear and Justine, Jordy's sister. I listed down petitions as well for NCLEX, medschool, and work. I rounded up the group's sentiments (at least my opinion of their wishes).
Going back to Manila and the real world (aka non-vacation mode) meant the long awaited results for PLM. There's still no result posted until now but hopefully tomorrow (which is actually later) they'll post it. Jill and I got our grades for one of our required unit subjects. I just wonder how the grading system is there, though since it wasn't explained to us. Also, how will our alma mater convert that? Questions... I will ask on Monday probably.
Last but not least, after so many months of putting it off I have conquered one of my dental fears. I finally had an oral prophylaxis/cleaning. Thanks Mom! Sorry at napakaarte ko bago masimulan. Next stop pasta and impaction. Courage, don't fail me now. Lord, thanks for granting my prayer that it wouldn't hurt. Help me again during the next treatments. :)
