Confessions of a Fangirl

POSTED ON: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 @ 4:40 PM | 0 comments

I’m quite busy lately. The next three days will be our Preliminary exams. I’m really nervous and scared because I haven’t learned anything at all. I wasn’t listening and participating like what I used to. It’s really annoying and seriously frightening. What if I won’t be able to answer the queries correctly and fail? Oh, what an impression I will make! The new girl, who is supposed to prove herself (in a positive way, with a positive outcome), is gradually deteriorating, fading in the dark corner, vanishing to nothingness. Wait, that’s very dramatic. Let’s stop this, please? But still, this might be true. But I’m seriously hoping that it won’t be. I will study for the examinations. I swear by the Angel.

Anyway, I still haven’t written anything about Breaking Dawn (crappy reviews, everybody). I can’t think of anything else to say about it, and okay, I don’t have enough time to write something that would pass as an eligible review. And I already forgot what I saw. And I don’t have the “Twilight ecstasy” in me anymore. And I could still come up with a hundred more alibis if you want me to.

Remember before when I posted the link to a Tumblr appreciation blog for Sam Concepcion? It’s sad to admit, but we – Cez, Marie, Patricia and Trisha – really have forgotten about it. We are all students, and although we are aching to reblog and post anything about our “fangirl abilities receiver”, we can’t find time to do so. We had left Eff Yeah Sam Concepcion for some drastic eleven months. It was really sad, but now it’s back. Yes, it’s back on tracks! We are all trying to give life to it again because our Sam has been so visible lately, and we sincerely think and feel that we should give honor to him through this blog.

There is another existing blog regarding Sam and his career: Sam Concepcion Tumblr. I thought that blog, managed by someone who wouldn’t reveal his/her name, would be enough to at least have results when a Samster suddenly had the desire to search for the Sam Concepcion tag on his/her Dashboard. It is enough. It is a good blog. It posts updates, photos and schedule and reblogs appreciation posts. But I achingly miss Eff Yeah. So I started reconnecting with my babies (the girls) again [via Twitter] because I needed to have their opinion about my plan and because I missed them, really. I thought about posting several Sam Concepcion Confessions. I’ve been dying to share my own confessions but I didn’t want to post it on my own blog (because mine isn’t that famous, and it is cluttered to a great extent). So why not in Eff Yeah? The blog has more followers than I have. And in that way, we could also collect some of the followers’ own confessions and broadcast them to others through posting and reblogging.

I’m really excited about this. We had originally planned to start editing come Christmas break, but I’m just so thrilled so I already made some (and also because I’m starting to develop affection for a bad habit that is procrastination). I’m not actually good with style and fonts and effects, and I haven’t any Adobe Photoshop application in my computer because I have no idea how to use one, but I’m learning another photo editor called Photoscape. These are what I’ve done so far:

So if you have a Tumblr blog, and if you love or admire Sam Concepcion like we do, maybe you can follow Eff Yeah Sam Concepcion and reblog its posts! How many times did I mention his name on this post again?

Diaries of Woes & Chaos

THE FLYEST.

Already several months had passed, and I am missing Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry more and more each fleeting day. There are just some things in life that we can never forget – especially that something that had given us knowledge, skills, strong relationships and a second home. I am glad that everything in the magical world is now at peace, since Voldemort (yes, I can now say his name; no need to be afraid) had died. I had secretly admired Tom Marvolo Riddle (Voldemort’s birth name) though, because of his intelligence, passion and love for magic. Wasn’t he very clever to think of and conjure his seven Horcruxes to preserve his life, or form a clan of Death Eaters who were very loyal to him and would give up their lives just for him to succeed? Not everybody can acquire that much loyalty from people these days. I do not, however, admire him for the way he had carried out all of his plans. He had a good agenda, his means just weren’t morally right. But he still is one of the darkest wizards of all time… and let’s leave it that way.

Oh, for all those who are baffled of what I’m saying here and who the heck I am, my name is Christine Faye Ordas, and I am an alumnus of Hogwarts. I came from the bronze-and-blue-clad house of the smart ass witch Rowena Ravenclaw and her dictum “Wit beyond measure is a man’s greatest treasure.” And yes, I know the wonderful Luna Lovegood (she’s such a darling) and Harry Potter’s first crush Cho Chang. I had just left Hogwarts last May. Right now I am trying to pursue a career in magical researches, literature and writing. It’s my dream to inscribe intellectual books, publish and sell them in Flourish and Blotts for the future Hogwarts students’ use. I am also planning to credibly write for the Daily Prophet, the magical world’s primary news bulletin. And of course, I will be very much honored to contribute to Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood’s Quibbler (hence, my interest in magical researches). I have always found the Lovegoods a fascinating family, and I bet working with and for them will be very exciting. Or maybe, in Merlin’s beard’s time, I can write legends and bedtime stories like the famous – and wickedly brilliant – Beedle the Bard.

And that’s how my life goes these days. I am utterly missing my old school, my friends, the Great Hall, the bronze eagle knocker just outside the Ravenclaw common room, Professor Flitwick (the head of our house), Hogsmeade, the Quidditch matches (although I didn’t actually play for the house), the moving portraits, the castle ghosts, the pumpkins on Halloween, the giant pine trees on Christmas, Rubeus Hagrid’s (Hogwarts’ gamekeeper) tea and treacle fudge – even the crabby Argus Filch (Hogwarts’ caretaker) I miss. Maybe I can visit the school grounds sometimes and see how the magical world’s been doing since Voldemort died (I’ve been spending my months in the muggle world, you see). I’ve heard everybody’s been moving on and starting all over again; the ministry is back on work under Kingsley Shacklebolt; and Harry Potter’s scar haven’t been disturbing him since. All is well, indeed.

And because of that, we should celebrate and drink firewhisky! Oh, I still don’t drink firewhisky; I can take butterbeer or tea or pumpkin juice – just not firewhisky, please.
