Harry Potter 6 Trailer is here!

Finally, after weeks and weeks of working on a marketing video for this IT company and sticking my eyeballs on other movie trailers, there will only be one video that will always have my eyes glued to it like forever. Well, okay, we're only talking about the trailer here but this is really it! The official Harry Potter Half Blood Prince trailer is already out and Yahoo is the first to confirm that this trailer you're about to see is the legit version (unlike some other muggle community sites who claims their videos authenticity) . Sigh, there's still 112 more days to go before the real movie is out yet I can't seem to contain my excitement any longer. He-he. Well, I think I am still given some more time to read the book again since I'm nearly forgetting some of the important stuff already. Fine.

So, for all those who waited patiently for the release of the trailer, here it is. Enjoy!

Note: If you've watched the Dark Knight before watching this trailer, you just might think that the sound effects are kind of the same but no, they have different musical arrangers.

Korean Beauty

I shouldn't really be this excited about the business venture I have at hand, but only by hearing the name of the business itself makes me fantasize that it's already happening, like all the negotiations are done and I'm off advertising the product itself. But I have to wait still. I have to keep my fingers crossed that the Korean national I transact business with isn't all that cranky, you know. Oh whatever! I'll have to see for myself then.

Yesterday, I'm in a chat with Aunt Estrella (the usual Q&A about my whereabouts at first) until she opened up about KR Beauty (that's what they call it). I said I'm going to "the shop" later after work so I can get the price list and show them to her. She insisted I get the name and the location of the manufacturer and so they can go down to Seoul to do the transactions there with Stephan. I didn't know what to say. I never thought they were THAT serious in spending time and effort on Korean Beauty because as from Ate Rosy (my closest cousin) the conceptualization of KR Beauty is something so totally uneventful that she herself never cared about it before.

Until I came in the picture one day. I started talking about this Korean shop I frequent here in Makati. I raved on and on and on about the products I bought there from varieties of facial masks to tweezers and base foundations to lipglosses and how reasonable they are priced. I guess what happened next is what we all know of.

Oh Well, like what I always say, we'll see!

Who's Missing?

The entire cast of The Dark Knight on a Black carpet world premier in New York. But what dominates the debut of this film around the globe isn’t just how enigmatically stunning this Christopher Nolan creation is, but the absence of one man whose name will never be forgotten.

Heath Ledger, the Joker.

Why so serious? I remember his famous line as he presses a knife on the face of that gangster. That scene made me cover my eyes and sort of let out a silent scream until I realized I was in a movie theater with an equally horrified friend beside me.

Unlike others, I immediately recognized the man behind the messed up painted clown face and that sinister voice right from the start of the film. It’s definitely him, only scarier. The guy whom I didn’t much liked in Ten Things I Hate About You (because I was too young then and didn’t fancy the long hairdo on guys), the guy who gained my admiration in The Patriot, made me swoon over the knights in A Knight’s Tale, made me fall in love in Casanova, and is now scarring the hell out of me in The Dark Knight.

I am seriously not a fan of him. He’s not even in on my most wanted list of Hollywood Celebrities. But he’s such a loss. I remembered the day I learned of his death still thinking it was some sick joke, but eventually I found out it was true.

Back in the movie house, I wanted to laugh about how funny my reactions and how inexplicably weird I was feeling all throughout the film but the more I stared at the silver screen and face my doom with the madman joker, swoon over Harvey Dent and ride beneath the cape of the Dark Knight, my heart begins to mourn. Every hit and every miss, every twist and every turn, every laugh and every cry, every jump and every blast, every scream and every whisper I look for his face. That’s because I know this would be the last time I’ll ever see him alive. The Last Heath Ledger movie. So I just hid away my heavy heart and sighed as the closing credits comes to an end.

Now, being in front of the computer isn't that harmful anymore.

My friend KC did it again. She probably has mastered the art of sneaking into the "Next Movie Attraction" list before anyone else in the world does. She's found Twilight the movie that I've coincidentally read twice last month. I happen to just fell in love with Edward Cullen - the vampire. Oopps! Did I say anything. He-he.

Anyway, from the trailer itself, I think it's very much different from the book. I'm not really too sure, yeah, hard to tell even from a full trailer. But by the looks it, I think it something anyone shouldn't miss. Do you notice the? Oh, so that's what happened when he died. He turned into a handsome supernatural being of vampire. I like that!
