Half Blood Prince

::SPOILERS AHEAD::

And so it did. Release, I mean. And let me tell you: this was the best Harry Potter movie. Ever. According to me, of course. It was hilarious. It was dark. It was scary at times. It was fast. It had some bits added, but these bits were still good [e.g. the scene where Hermione asks Harry, "Is this what it feels like? When you look at Ginny?" and the waitress scene at the beginning]. 

Bad points? There were some ... It lacked action. No Hogwarts fight. Added in the Burrow burning [why?!]. Did not show Tom Riddle looking for places/things to hide the Horcruxes in. Ron and Hermione were simply there to be comic relief.

This is a good place to go if you've read the book, and want to know what you'll love + hate in the movie.

That which did not release last year ...

... is releasing tomorrow. And I'm very excited for it! I'll report on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince tomorrow. Woot!

p.s.: This post is red to honour Gryffindor, of course.

I want an Apple and a Pear.

Mmm ... want an Apple? Want a Pear? Aren't these beautifully sliced?

You can buy them individually ...

Or you can buy them in crates of six ...

I is wanting one ...

Bet you didn't notice that they're actually post-it's, eh?

London Vibe

Mmm ... London Vibe is a delish fragrance from Impulse. 

Here's the blurb from the bottle: Have you ever been seduced by a romantic walk along the London Bridge? Use Impulse London, with a blend of sandalwood, vanilla, and grapefruit scents, and live the magic of the trendiest city. Spray it all over your body and enjoy its captivating scent!

They've changed their packaging. I like the old one as well as the new one [old pictured here, because as I didn't have access to my camera - which broke during a snowball fight - I had to rely on Google images]. I just bought it today!

I've also tried New York Sass [an exhilarating blend of fruits and florals that will make you go "BLING BLING"], but it was too strong for me ... London's more delicate, and more "me".

Edit: Whoops, looks like I forgot to add the photo after all!

Hey. I want to add a background colour/image to my blog, 'cause I think it's looking a bit sad and dull at the moment. Anyone know how to?

Illusion Bags

Following the trend from yesterday, these are some more examples of great packaging.

Thanks, Stephanie!

Awesomeness Part Three.

Yay for the fact that I am posting today [I wasn't planning to]. And yay for the fact that this is another Awesomeness.

From now on, I'm always going to check the bottom of my Starbucks cup! And what if someone drinks it from the other side? The whole point/cleverness of the joke is lost!

But I still think this packaging is ingenious. Don't you?

p.s.: Fish is gone because it took an awful lot of time to load on my blog. And it slowed down all the other pictures as well. :(

I'm sorry, I received them in a mail, I don't know who owns them. :(

They're taking the hobbits to Isengard

This is slightly off-topic, as you might've figured from the title, but if you are a LotR book/movie fan, you must watch this video I discovered. It's completely hilarious, and utterly genius. Link here. Link takes you to youtube. I already have it on my iPod.

Edit: Harry Potter fans aren't left out of this either. Click here for one of these videos done Harry Potter style. Personally, I like the Isengard one better. Which one do you like?

Snow, Snow, Snow!

Ooh, could this be? Yes, it is! The 100th post! Yay me!

Uhm, anyways, my skiing trip was ridiculously awesome [and no, I didn't ski; I sledded. I didn't bungee either], the weather was absolutely beautiful, I got to see my first snow as well as snowfall, everyone was in such a happy mood throughout the whole trip, and all the laughter and giggling was so contagious [as it always is]. I wish I could go live on Mt. Ruapehu forever. And ever. It was just so serene up there. Felt as if I was inside a painting, or a movie set. I slipped into this strange mood, I can't quite explain it!

Goodness, I can't stop going on about it now, can I? The only sad thing was that my camera broke in the middle of a massive snowball fight :( so I could just take some pictures.

Like this one:

Isn't it just beautiful, picnic benches disappearing into nothingness? A sort-of a neverland, where nothing exists?

And to some who have asked, yes, I did take that photo myself.

See ya later, peoples! Would be glad to hear from ya again!!

One more to go ...

... for what, you may ask. Well, one more day to go skiing! Which is extremely exciting, because I've never been in/seen snow before ... and no, ice in the freezer doesn't count! Hopefully there will be a computer where we're staying, and hopefully, I'll be able to blog still. If not, I'll have to post all about it when I get back, which will be Monday.

... and, of course, one more [this one!] post till my 100th! Yes, this is the 99th.

Gotta go pack my bags now. Very excited.

Uhm, and I don't know where I got that awesome cartoon from, sorry :(
