Can’t Help It But Adore Gilderoy Lockhart

Gilderoy Lockhart has to be amongst my favorite characters in the Harry Potter series. I love his self-absorbed humor and It’s my favorite kind of humor (I can relate to it so well hahah).
The following passage comes form “The Chamber of Secrets”. Its so funny how Lockhart is so oblivious to Harry’s fame that exceeds his and he calls him a “nobody”. hahaha Gotta love Lockhart.

“Harry,” said Lockhart, his large white teeth gleaming in the sunlight as he shook his head. “Harry, Harry, Harry.”
Completely nonplussed, Harry said nothing. “When I heard -well, of course, it was all my fault. Could have kicked myself.
Harry had no idea what he was talking about. He was about to say so when Lockhart went on, “Don’t know when I’ve been more shocked. Flying a car to Hogwarts! Well, of course, I knew at once why you’d done it. Stood out a mile. Harry, Harry, Harry.”
It was remarkable how he could show every one of those brilliant teeth even when he wasn’t talking.
“Gave you a taste for publicity, didn’t I?” said Lockhart. “Gave you the bug. You got onto the front page of the paper with me and you couldn’t wait to do it again.”
“Oh, no, Professor, see -”
“Harry, Harry, Harry,” said Lockhart, reaching out and grasping his shoulder. “I understand. Natural to want a bit more once you’ve had that first taste – and I blame myself for giving you that, because it was bound to go to your head – but see here, young man, you can’t start flying cars to try and get yourself noticed. Just calm down, all right? Plenty of time for all that when you’re older. Yes, yes, I know what you’re thinking! ‘It’s all right for him, he’s an internationally famous wizard already!’ But when I was twelve, I was just as much of a nobody as you are now. In fact, I’d say I was even more of a nobody! I mean, a few people have heard of you, haven’t they? All that business with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!”
He glanced at the lightning scar on Harry’s forehead. “I know, I know – it’s not quite as good as winning Witch Weekly’s Most Charming-Smile Award five times in a row, as I have – but it’s a start, Harry, it’s a start.” He gave Harry a hearty wink and strode off.

hahaha love this picture ❤

P.s. This is even more hilarious when you listen to it in the audio book by Jim Dale. Guaranteed to make you piss your pants. 4 realzzz

Hamlet Victorian Wisdom

The following passage appears in Hamlet Act 1, Scene 3. In the passage, Polonius is advising his son about life before he sets off to France. It’s one of my favorite passages because it so wise and I wish to live my life that way.

And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel,
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear ’t that th’ opposèd may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear but few thy voice.
Take each man’s censure but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy—rich, not gaudy,
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell. My blessing season this in thee.

P.s. Maybe Polonius wasn’t a bad guy after all haha

Jealousy: Boy Meets Girl

Jealousy Sucks:
Jealousy is like the worst feeling ever. Right? Yes, obviously? haha
Why?
Because it makes us act unlike ourselves.
Like I don’t like myself when I’m jealous. I just feel so annoyed like.. like like I can’t even live. You know what I mean. Ughhhh

Boy Meets Girl (personal story)

Boy meets girl on the first day of work. Boy flirts heavily with girl. Boy asks girl to hang out with him after work. Boy and girl do hang out after work in a romantic little garden with trees and a small beautiful lack. Boy cunningly tries to touch girl. Boy begs girl to take off her shades. Girl grow interested in boy. Girl tells boy she has to leave. Boy walks girl to her car. Boy tells girl that she has something in her hair. Boy stretch out his hand to take it out. The air is charged with boy and girl attraction toward each other. Girl thinks, “It feels like a magnet in here” haha. Girl hugs boy goodbye. Boy tries to kiss girl. AKWARD. Girl feels to her. Girl wanted to kiss boy but boy is her co-worker and she barely met him.
Boy and girl hang out for two months.
Boy and girl fight.
Girl stop talking to boy for six months.
Boy and girl still see each other at work but they don’t communicate.
A new chick at work….

My Blog is My Love Child

I love it so so so much.
But, NO ONE should know about it.
Or at least people who directly know me.

I think the beauty of a blog comes from the fact that you can fully express yourself and be who you are and write whatever you want.

I’m not saying that I’m fake or that I pretend to be someone I’m not in real life.

I just feel like if I told people about it, it’s going to affect the way I write. You know the Observer’s Effect stuff haha. You guys know what I mean.

I just feel like a blog is a beautiful way of clearing my mind and setting goals.

Just writing my thoughts on a post makes them more “real” somehow and it makes me more committed to them. For example, If I said that I’m going to clean my room and wrote it in a post, I’m more likely to clean my room than if I just noted that in my head. Sometimes, I need motivation to do the simplest tasks in my life because without taking care of the simple stuff, I don’t feel prepared to tackle bigger projects.

Also I feel like if I wrote about something, I can talk about it to people more clearly and confidently.

Finally, a blog is important because it lets me express my interests and ideas that people in my immediate circle might not find interesting. However, I can gain the motivation needed to continue with my interests through my blog friends.

I know many of you guys feel the same way as me and I would ilke to find out why your blog is important to you??

Lateness…maaaan

“You should be honored by my lateness. That I would even show up to this fake shit”

I love this line because it absolutely describe me. lol
I just wanna be like, ” yes I’m late, but its okay. I’m worth the wait” lol

I’m like ALWAYS late.
I just feel like it runs in my blood.
From the very first day of first grade till like now. (sorry this sound so un-interesting, I just couldn’t finish this sentence cleverly lol)
I’m late to class, work, church, dates, job interviews, finals. You name it I’m late.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
But I swear, I ALWAYS intend to be early. JK. I hate being early.
I ALWAYS intend to be on time.

They make bets at work to see how late I’ll be. lol
I just feel like my internal clock is so dysfunctional like I’d take my time even if I know I’m late. Hurrying up just makes me so panicky.

Even if I’m late, I try to not let myself stress over it, I just walk in, apologize and then proceed gracefully.

Do you guys think I’m crazy, or are you guys the same way?

They call me Conceited… *rolls eyes*

Alright, so in case you missed my banner, let me remind you.
I’m a beauty queen.
I’m like the the physical embodiment of beauty on Earth.
Need I say more??!!

Just kidding, I’m not THAT vain, but I’ll admit I’m a little conceited. But why should you hate me for it. I only love myself and I think am beautiful. What’s wrong with that? I mean you hear people everyday talking about low self-esteem and negative body image and how everyone should love themselves and then one does it and BAAAAAAAM, they’re instantly labeled “conceited”. I never said that everyone else was ugly. On the contrary, I constantly compliment my friends and tell them they’re beautiful (even if I don’t really mean it. lol). I just like to encourage people and make them feel better.
Sometimes, I’ll be like, “That guy have like the biggest crush on me, but obviously he doesn’t talk to me cause he’s intimated by my looks” haha. They think am so conceited haha. But, it’s not my fault that everywhere I go people love to stare at me (even in my most ugliest days) and that I make clothes look really good. Or that random people stop me at odd moments just to compliment me, and mind you when that happens, it makes me so happy and I find something beautiful in them and compliment them back. I’m so grateful for that because sometimes I can be having the worst days and when I hear those kind words, my spirit is totally lifted and I’m so cheered up.
In conclusion, I am conceited but I’m NOT, by no mean, arrogant in anyway. I talk to anyone and everyone and I respect everyone.
People shouldn’t hate me cause am conceited, they should hate me cause I’m a bitch. JK. AM NOT! lol

P.s. my favorite compliment thus far has to be the one I received from my photography professor some years ago, he told me, “You should be a spy, cause you always look so different. One day you look elegant, the other you look like a beach bum…” lol. I’d like to think of this as a truly sound and legit compliment cause he’s a photographer so he really “sees” things haha
