Inconsequential Matters
Hello everyone! I haven’t been blogging about random stuffs for a while, because of some stressful works in school. I miss my blog like this. But no worries,
semestral break had officially started, and I might be dying out of boredom and constant stillness. I certainly had nothing to do during this 3-week holiday from college. I have no plans at all. Maybe I’d just do whatever comes my way, and cross the bridge when I get there. “Cross the bridge when I get there” – how lame.
I am currently trying to read and understand
Wuthering Heights. I didn't know that it was that deep and hard to grasp. One should have a thick hard-bound dictionary beside him when reading that novel, or maybe a wad of tissues if ever hemorrhage occurs. So maybe I’d stop pushing my luck and my limits. I might welcome the new semester with mad eyes and a wracked brain and a messed up vocabulary. So I’m planning to just read another book, maybe a Paulo Coelho or the
Chronicles of Narnia. Anything to cease the boredom.
Speaking of new semester, I will be spending mine on the same school. Yes, I am staying in Treston International College for another five months. And my plans are still the same, try to transfer to UP Diliman and finish a degree, if ever I’m still alive by that time. I’m still deciding what course to take: Broadcast Communication, Journalism, Linguistics or European Languages. My only problem right now is my credited units. I don’t know if Diliman would accept someone taking a different course and would shift to a way different track. It says on their site that transferees should have at least 30 units taken (which I would have) and 50% of those units should be credited depending on the course to be taken (which I hope and pray would happen). And if mine won’t be credited, I guess I have to burn my eyebrows until summer.
And oh, of course General Weighted Average is an important requisite. Future
Iskolars should have an average of 2.00 or higher to pass the quota for the prominent school. And yeah, that’s another thing to worry about. My grades have been falling down ever since. For the first semester, I got an average of 1.06 (for Prelims) and 1.17 (for Midterms). See how they took my .11 points away? Fail, fail. And good news, I missed two quizzes on our
Basic Computer classes, and my performance in
Psychology didn’t go well. I’m definitely and totally anxious about it. Grades will be released by November 7, and I just hope that I won’t have anything lower than 2.0, or I would lose my scholarship (which is practically my life) and I would stop schooling for a while. And trust me, I don’t want that to happen,
ever.
Now, why don’t we first look at the brighter side of things (if there’s any)? Remember Sam Concepcion’s
birthday? Of course, I know you remember. I gave him a gift, didn’t I? So okay, I’m going to tell you what the gift was. I gave him “a classic novel about a boy who never grows up and who believes in fairies. I chose this particular book because the protagonist somehow reminds me of you,” – those were the words that I wrote on the card. Guess what? I don’t know what happened with fate, but he’ll be portraying the role of
Peter Pan in a play next year! What an awful coincidence. I still can’t get over that news. I felt like dying when I heard about it (although of course I don’t know how dying feels like). I hate coincidences and destiny acting this way, acting crazy. I wish I’d be the one playing as Wendy Darling, and yes, I am just dreaming, having a senseless trance. As if! Anyway, I told him about the book on his Twitter
account, and just like before, just like forever, he didn’t reply. But I hope he had read it. It’s a big help, I’m positive about it.
Because I think this is going too long for a single post, I’d just leave you with the list of songs that are currently stuck in my head.
- On the Line - Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers
- Overboard - Justin Bieber and Jessica Jarrel
- War - Jay Sean
- What If - Jason Derulo
- Your Love (Remix) - Chris Brown and Jay Sean
- Heartbeat - Enrique Iglesias and Nicole Scherzinger

Profile
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.
