woah. haven't blogged in quite a while.
Anywaysss..Back to SG. Uni stats in a week. Camp was beyond great.
And I watched HP 7 Part 2 last week. And I cried my eyes out while watching Snape die and while seeing his memories. The Prince's Tale as it is in the book. It was an amazingggg movie. One that I would definitely rewatch once I get my hands on the DVD.

Alan Rickman gives the performance of the series, seriously. The story itself was so heart wrenching. And the way he portrayed it..I don't think anyone came out of the theatre with dry eyes. The part where he held Lily's lifeless body and cried...I just lost it there. He loved her so much but yet never got to be anything more than a friend for her. But at least he made a HUGE difference in Harry's life and his quest to destroy Voldemort and the Horcruxes. Love Snape <3

And ofcourse the fabulous trio whom everyone has followed since Day 1. It was really nostalgic to see them standing outside Hogwarts, hand-in-hand, looking up at the sky after Voldemort's end. Reminds me of the first few scenes in the first movie at Hogwarts. Woah. It was a long time ago. God Bless JKR for writing such an amazing series and for touching so many people's hearts with a story that many can relate to as not just as their childhood dream but also a story from which they learnt so much. Expecto Patronum!!!

And I have finished my matriculation :D
Okay perhaps I will rewatch some of the old HP movies.

I hope Wenger renews Nasri's contract asap. Or else, I forsee a Flamini situation coming :( DON'T GO SAMIR! ARSENAL IS YOUR HOME!

Transfer window closes in August and all we can do until then is wait and hope and not do anything stupid that will make us regret.
We ARE Arsenal.

PRICELESS.
It's almost 4am. I stayed up to watch the HP Worldwide Premiere on YouTube LIVE from London and I cried my eyes out. Freak. Actual end of childhood.
I am not a humongous Potter fan but when its a book you first started reading when you were merely 7 or 8 years old. Thats a huge thing okay. My first HP book is more than 11 years old. Yes. And its still intact (well mostly, disregarding the extremely yellow tainted, brittle pages) forever. And to actually see it end is pretty...saddening and emotional. HP is one of those things that has always been around. Through Primary and Secondary Schools..through JCs. It represents a huge part of life. And to think that the movie series alone has lasted for 10 years..the HP influence has lingered for a longer period of time.
Why do all good things have to end? End of the Transformers trilogy. End of the HP Series. This is too saddening :(
So many things can be learnt from Harry Potter.
For instance, the Patronus Charm. Even in the darkest of times when the foulest creatures on Earth threaten to suck out the soul in you and prevent you from feeling happy ever again, think of the happy moments in life and let it fill you up. No hope is lost. There is still a lot to live for. Life isn't over. Look on the bright side and be a fighter. Fight for your loved ones. Fight for yourself. You don't deserve to just look back and remember merely the dark times in your life.
Deep ain't it? It might jus be a tool to fend off Dementors. But the concept is a lot deeper than that when you think about it.

And just the mere themes of the story. Love, loss, death, tragedy, good and evil, war, fear, greed, betrayal, loyalty, bravery..woah..JK Rowling is a genius. And these things..everyone can relate to. Anybody. Everyone has experienced at least some of their elements in their lives. And she presented it in such a real way that jus intrigued the reader. She might have built the plot around a magical world (literally speaking) and come up with uber cool names (SALAZAR SLYTHERIN! Godric's Hollow! Horcruxes! Expalliames! Wingardium Leviosa! etc.) to suit the world which probably made her books more attractive to young readers. But the base plot was nothing extravagant. It had such real elements that anyone could have experienced. Anyone..people not necessarily related to the wizarding world. People like us: Muggles.

And mind you, this book might have ended. The movie series might have ended. But the characters will stay in our hearts forever. She is an amazing writer who made nerd people, spectacles, messy hair, shabby outlook and normal looks kinda cool itself. And she showed that insecurities are normal and that one should jus learn to accept reality and fight against it. And that there is a light to guide us regardless of how dark it is. Just believe. And believe in yourself. Thank you JKR for a magical childhood (Even though I wasn't a hardcore Potterhead the books did touch me). This is not the end. This will live in our hearts forever.

Ron and Hermione FTW <3
CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2.

On another note, Gael Clichy has left. Yes, the last Invincible in Arsenal has left. End of an era, perhaps? And my heart just sank when I saw the news on Arsenal website. I read he was having a medical with Man City the previous day. But ofcourse, me being me I chose not to really believe it. But obviously, it turned out to be true. Oh wells. I loved him loads while he was a Gunner. And I still do cause I respect him a lot for all that he has done for Arsenal. His tireless work at Left Back position. Always giving everything he had. I hope he finds what he wants in Man City. And I hope Arsenal can overturn its rotten luck and inconsistent form come next season. Maybe its a jinx that when I always say ' Next season we will win smthg' they don't. So perhaps, this time round I will jus not say anything. Maybe they will win smthg afterall. Call me delusional. Whatever. My brain is jus too fried for any further thoughts.
Come on Arsenal. Please don't let me down..again. No more stupid inconsistency. And for the sake of God, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT LETTING NASRI AND CESC GO. Not for now at least. We need them. Especially Cesc. Whom the team is pretty much built around..and he is our talismatic figure PLUS Captain. Please freaking spend and bring in solid talent. And I am not talking about 16 year old amateurs whose presence in the first team will only be felt after a couple of years.

Okay this hasn't been a very good week..
But on the brighter side, my internship is over. Kinda bitersweet. I really miss the people. Amazing group of people with whom I have had loads of fun with. Complained about everything related to the company or supervisors to them. Had fun laughing while eating or pigging out at the Pantry. Interns' outings were always memorable. Will never forget these experience where I met a few people who have become really close to me. I am thankful for this opportunity (Okay now I sound like I am giving a Farewell or Thank you speech.)

Okay. I SHOULD sleep now. Or maybe I will reminiscence some of my childhood before going to bed. Or before my mother wakes up and scolds me for staying up too late and 'spoiling my health.' Whichever comes first.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,
