Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie

The Muggle and Wizard worlds is in great peril in this penultimate installment to the Harry Potter series.

Who: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

What's it about:
Harry Potter is now on his sixth year at Hogwarts. Along with his wizard/witch army of friends they are now anticipating their final battle with the Death Eaters and the folically challenged Lord Voldemort himself. As this sixth installment nears the end of the Potter series, the Dark Lord causes mayhem in both the muggle and wizard worlds. Things will even get more interesting as the movie chronicles Voldemort's past. From here we learn that a lonely child suffering from abandonment issues can grow up to become an evil world destroyer.

The foreboding feeling that this is going to be the second to the last of the Harry Potter series.

I'm back! (Same old brand new me)

Finally, after months of serious thinking I was able to convince myself to return blogging once again. Yay! *did I hear hands clapping?* Good! Well this isn't only my personal decision why I have returned. Two of my close blog/internet pals namely Chester and Eiji insisted that I should return on writing a blog. At first I was kinda hesitant because I didn't know exactly on where and how to start again after loosing my interest on my first blog some two years ago. But thanks to these two "mongrels" *evil grin* half of the blame should be on them and half should be blame on my stubborn head. lols.

I was known before as "kawaii-fiel" on my goody old blog. And from now on I will go by the name "fiel-kun". I am a huge anime fan, obviously I love using Japanese words as part of my name. ("kawaii" - means cute; "-kun" - is use to address a male person).

Well I write blog mainly as a personal hobby and as much as possible I don't want to get too serious on most of my entries. I want it to be light, not too serious, and fun for my readers (as if there's any haha) I love writing about random stuffs that interests me and catches my own personal taste. I will also be writing this blog using the english language but you can still see me writing in tagalog on days to come.

Lastly, I really love to hear something from you. I welcome any types of violent/non-violent reactions/comments: Tagalog, English, Korean, Japanese, so be it! My comment box is always open and waiting for you! Thanks ^__^
