Harry Potter Vs. Twilight

While surfing the World-Wide -Web: I wanted to share you some interesting comments kicking a discussion to give a thousand reasons on "Why Harry Potter is better than Twilight." Sorry to those Twilight fans out there, am HP-fanatic... :) 


61. Because the characters have personalities

62. Little things turn out to be very important! i.e. the locket in OOTP the bug in Hermione’s hair, secret keepers, Snape begging Harry to look at him and so much more!

63. The book grows with you and they just get better and better

64. The characters aren’t perfect therefore it is much easier to relate to them

65. J.K creates a whole new world where her fans could lose themselves in

66. Because Harry Potter is not overrated

67. Harry Potter appeals to more than just a bunch of squealing 12 year olds. J

68. You want to read more because it is a great book, not for the “hot” guys and kissing as said by some twilight fan on the twilight msn superfan page.

69. The Harry Potter characters do not try to kill themselves because they cannot be with who they want

70. Because Harry Potter doesn’t ruin your favourite bands. lol personal experience: (au revoir Paramore I can never see you the same anymore)

71. Harry Potter is not cliché

72. The characters do not have a hundred year difference lol

73. The characters won’t go on living forever on the face of this earth

74. Because Harry Potter has put up a bar which is higher than the sky lol and I don’t think anything can beat that especially . . . .

75. In Harry Potter you learn that some of the good people die in twilight you learn that if you can’t be with him/her you should kill yourself WTF.


as moments pass, things are getting more interesting...


99. Come on! Sparkling vampires? Are you KIDDING? Vampires used to turn to dust in the sun. They used to sleep in coffins and drink human blood. Vegetarian vampires? Beautiful vampires who say stuff like, "Take care of my heart. I've left it with you." Is that supposed to be a JOKE? NOT FUNNY, MEYER! Vampires used to be cool!

100. The author backgrounds and the pressure upon them. Meyer dreamt about Edward and Bella. Poof... she decides to write about them! WHAT?! JK Rowling was a struggling woman whose talent was writing. She wrote a book and now LOOK at her! Much more impressive.

101. The flaws in the plan. If Edward's body is unable to change, how the hell did he manage to get Bella pregnant? Harry Potter has no flaws like this- NONE!

102. The problems face by the characters. Harry has been TORTURED by his aunt and uncle for 10 years! They hardly gave him anything to eat, never bought him new clothes and completely ignored what he had to say. He has to deal with the fact that Lord Voldemort is somewhere out there, ready to kill him with a huge number of followers... one of them may even be his Potions teacher... Bella's problems: she's moving to Forks. She's not pretty enough for Edward. Sparkling vampires want to hunt her down and kill her but she knows nothing will happen because she has 7 vampires protecting her. Those aren't problems...


and entertaining...


80. The characters aren't perfect. Bella is boring and whiny. Edward is a 104 year old virgin who hasn't even had a girlfriend before... I'm sorry but that just doesn't happen. Harry has flaws. He is a rule breaker and has emotional breakdowns. Hermione is extremely intelligent but at the same time, bossy and annoying. Ron walked out on Harry in the last book- that doesn't make him perfect at all.

81. The world! There's Quidditch, wizard bands, shops, a whole ministry! Sweets, villages, transport ways, clocks, pictures and oh so many things! What do the so-called-vampires have in Twilight? Nothing!

82. The names... Don't get me STARTED on the names. Lord Voldemort even sounds evil... James definitely doesn't sound evil. Dumbledore sounds good. Edward- Jacob? Plain names! Draco Malfoy is the bad boy of the school and his name sounds royal- like he believes he is- as well as someone who might be snobby. I really doubt that LAUREN sounds snobby to anyone who listens to her name alone.

83. Creatures. Elves, giants, centaurs, unicorns, Dementors, REAL VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES and Hipogriffs. I mean, come on... what more could you want?

84. Twilight only revolves around ONE thing and that is EDWARD. What the hell but four extremely long, boring books shouldn't all be about the hotness of a sparkling vampire. Harry Potter has much more: suspense, comedy, drama and... romance!

85. The characters are easier to relate to. All Bella cares about is having a boyfriend. There are more problems in life than having a boyfriend.

86. Hogwarts! I have a hard time dealing with the fact that Hogwarts isn't real. I mean, how the hell can JK Rowling come up with all that stuff in her mind? Moving staircases, dungeons, moving potraits and enchanted ceilings! Wow... but the school Twilight has is... Forks High School. Boring much?

87. Battles. I mean, if in the end there is supposed to be a battle, it should happen. Twilight was like... ugh. Imagine Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker talking their problems out. WTF? NO! Imagine Voldemort and Harry talking their problems out. WTF?! No!! There is supposed to be a battle and Breaking Dawn didn't have one.

88. JK Rowling cared about her characters and got us liking them only to kill some of the good ones in the end. That caused a deep emotion to rise inside us but we LOVED it! Fred died, Dobby died, Hedwig died... I was SAD but it made the book better! If there is a battle, people SHOULD die... and not just the bad guys!

89. No cheesy lines in Harry Potter such as, "The lion fell in love with the lamb." I am sorry but I'm surprised Bella didn't start laughing her head off when Edward said that to her! And people call it a MODERN love story. Pfft...

90. Harry Potter teaches us lessons. Sacrifices are important sometimes. Good triumphs over evil. Never give up. Death is just another journey and shouldn't be feared! What does Twilight teach us? Kill yourself if you lose your boyfriend or girlfriend...

91. Fans! Harry Potter has been around for 10 years now and almost every person has heard of him. Twilight will fade- Harry Potter will live on.

92. The writing style is obviously better. Stephenie Meyer writes in flowery prose that makes people want to puke.

93. The difference in the people reading the books. Twilight is centered around the age group og 13 year old GIRLS to 18 year old GIRLS. No guys hardly EVER read Twilight... why? Because its all about love and how hot the guys are! I mean, why would STRAIGHT guys want to read about that? Harry Potter has fans from all age groups from six year olds to God knows 60 year olds! There's action so you see a lot of guys reading the books too.


then poof! something made me ROFL!


110. Ha! This one is awesome:
AVADA KEDAVRA! It is so cool... the Killing Curse that kills people in two seconds! I bet if you put Harry Potter and Edward Cullen in a fight, this is how it will go...
Edward: You cannot come NEAR Bella. I will kill you before you even think about it.
Harry: *Rolls his eyes* AVADA KEDAVRA!
Edward: *Dies*
Bella: *Screams and thinks about ways to kill herself.*
LOL! :)


139. The jokes in the book. Examples...
Twilight
Jacob: Does my being half-naked bother you?
Bella: *blushes*
WTF?!

This thousand comments' is too long to post here, you better check it out yourself.

Anime you can`t miss: Cowboy Bebop

I just wanted to share with you my passion in Animes'. And one recommended is the Cowboy Bebop.

This is an Anime I'd love not only for the soundtrack, I must admit is the best I heard in the anime industry, but also for the plot that made a lot of noise in the world of anime when it was released.

It has 26 episodes, directed by Shinchiro Watanabe and produced by Sunrise studio. The story presents the following context: In the year 2022 a series of interstellar gates are built along the solar system, facilitating the creation of colonies on other planets and trade between them. One day one of the doors, very close to Earth, suffers some instability that leads to an explosion of immense proportions. This explosion literally destroys half of the Moon and sweeps the surface of planet Earth, killing thousands of millions of people. Most of the surviving population then choose to migrate to colonies on other planets. While the habitants of Earth who choose to remain on the planet are forced to live underground due to the constant fall of lunar fragments on the surface. Some of the space colonies are: Venus, Mars, the moons of Jupiter: Callisto, Ganymede and Europa, among others.

Seen and given this context we find ourselves in the year 2071 at this time the bounty hunters have returned, but now they hunt down criminals in space. The main characters officiate this profession traveling through space in the Bebop (their spacecraft) seeking space for offenders and a good economic return to survive.

This group of bounty hunters is made up of:


Spike Spiegel

Born in Mars. Spike is a former member of the Red Dragon crime syndicate His past sentences him to a life of exile for being part of an ancient love triangle between his former union partner, Vicious, and a mysterious woman named Julia. Despite the carefree and weak look he is a great shooter and an expert in Jeet Kune Do.

Jet Black

Born on Ganymede. He is the most rational character of the group, he`s the more experienced one, and is also the owner of the “Bebop.” Jet is an ex-cop who lost his arm in a scuffle with a gangster while exercising his profession. He quit his job as a policeman due to the amount of corruption in it. He knows Spike belonged to the Red Dragon Mafia, but never gets into his business and only does so when he thinks he is in danger. Jet is from the start of the series who more shows his emotions in the group and who gives order to thi multifaceted group.

Faye Valentine


She is a woman who suffers from amnesia, little is known about her past, just that she awoke from a 70-year cryogenic slumber after an accident. Was deceived and she assumed the debt of the man who awoke her from her dream, and precisely becose of this is that Faye becomes a bounty hunter. Her past and her real name are not known, even to herself (the name ‘Valentine’ was given to her by a doctor), and we`ll know more about her with the progressive run of the series.

Ed

Is a young Earth girl with a pretty strange personality. She lives wandering aimlessly where life takes her. Ed does not care about the future or anything that makes sense for anyone, she just lives day by day, so it is very impulsive. Moreover, its main attribute is her hacker profile to assist the Bebop group. Her father is just like her and cares very little about the whereabouts of her daughter, although he loves her. Ed, in fact, was raised in an Earth orphanage held by a nun and her real name is Françoise.

Ein
Ein is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed dog and former lab animal identified as “data dog” by the scientists who created it. The terminology used in this title was never explained, however, it`s suggested that it possesses higher intelligence (which exceeds even humans), since near the end of the series it appears “hacking” a computer with ease, while previous peers attempts failed. Despite its superior intelligence, the Bebop crew does not capture this quality.


Over the episodes we’ll see how this strange group is developing one by one their personal history having Spike as main character to disclose his tortuous relationship with his old comrade Vicious which will lead to the outcome of the series.

Despite the great impact it generated in the anime world, CowBe (abbreviation which is known to the series), had great trouble reaching Japanese screens due to a murder perpetrated by young man, later justified by them as a product result of alleged influence of TV series. This episode, among others, resulted in a context in which Japanese TV signals wary of issuing any series where there was violence. Finally TV Tokyo on April 3, 1998 aired the series censoring many scenes and emitting only 13 episodes (of 26). Despite this, the material was so good that it became extremely popular and on October 23, 1999 the WOWOW signal began a new and uncensored issue of CowBe, providing all the episodes.

If, with barely 13 episodes censored in some scenes, imagine what the complete and uncensored broadcasting was! What happens is that CowBe is a series that radiates freshness from all points of view: it has very complex characters, it`s a series that doesn`t need to be followed in a cyclic fashion (although the series has a thread and develops a story that concludes at the end, the episodes can be enjoyed to perfection without having seen previous episodes) and its soundtrack deserves its own paragraph, the famous Yoko Kano was free by the producers and directors to do what she wanted, and no doubt the result is a musical gem of Jazz, Blues and some Rock. Yoko Kano put together the band, “Seatbelts” (composed of 24 musicians) and the result was so good that many of the episodes are greatly influenced by the musical atmosphere created by the “Searbelts.”

About Me

Revised for 2017~Its New Year! 2010 has ended, and like everyone else, I do expect a lot of changes and surprises to come this year, another chapter of our lives gone past. I got inspired somewhere to share something, the post asks to write 30 interesting facts about yourself. I did, here they are:


1. I’m an artist. Well, they all know
2017: And still an artist to this day, digitally though - as a Graphic Artist.


2. I’m a good liar. Nobody can find out easily, and even if they do, I can casually admit it - 'cause everybody does lie.
2017: Its easy to tell lies when you know its for the better. To say? Nowadays lying would save you from the prejudice of this sick modern world we're in.


3. Place and time of thinking : Almost everytime, and everywhere. Talking to myself seems my easiest task ever.
2017: Being an introvert is embedded in me, even though I already got a few good friends around. 

4. I’ve been keeping a lot of junks since grade school.
2017: And I've lost tons of those junks too.


5. I can sleep and wake up without moving an inch.
2017: Maybe it has changed, and I also snore now. Haha, like Ser Davos said, nothing fucks us harder than time.


6. I have a story to tell, but I couldn’t.
2017: Everybody's got untold stories. Stories we wished we have shared before forgotten.


7. Raising one side of my lips means I'm smiling, and grinning means I'm already laughing.
2017: And this still applies to me.


8. Basketball? What's that? XD
2017: This past years atleast I am already aware of NBA and shits, haha


9. I can write a long story, poem, riddle or a song, but never without my references (My blue scrap notebook and dictionary).
2017: It has been a long time since I was able to write anything, niether for my blog or personal.


10. I love french fries! But recently I got UTI. so gotta avoid it as much as I can.. haha
2017: I have totally failed to AVOID this abomination, fries anyone? 


11. My favorite expressions are “Amp." "What the..." Tss.” and "Awts."
2017: Getting old and experiencing more fucked up shit in life must have contributed to my expression upgrade. Now its easier to curse !@#%&#$! a lot. LOL


12. I can't punch. I kick, and you better watch your head.
2017: And my Taekwondo-fit body is... gone! Now a good big belly is my greatest asset.


13. When I like a person, I do and just that. When I hate one, I simply don't care. Other way, if someone likes me, It'll make me happy and just that. When someone hates me, I don't fuckin' care more.
2017: This never change, though if at work I got to be a little tolerant and learnt how to make face. :D


14. I badly want to make friends, but I wouldn't.
I stopped trying, most of them come and go anyway. In the end you'll have noone to trust but your own family.


15. I don't fear the dark, and don't believe in ghosts, paranormal creatures and such, for I've never seen one yet in my two decades of living.
2017: To this day, paranormal stories from people my age put curves in my lips. 


16. I don’t have a nice voice and piano is the only instrument I could play.
2017: Same old same old.


17. Back in my childhood, I had a variety of weird pets. Like native roosters, birds like the wild mayas and crows, a dove captured at Luneta, a baby bat, turtles (I still have one Malayan Box Turtle today), even the snapping turtle from the river, small crabs (talangka), and more.
2017: I got more dogs, no cats, but recently my Hedgehog "Henry" just died.


18. I want to finish College, but I need to work. I know people who wastes their parents' money and years taking Courses to play around. Giving no importance of the opportunities they freely had that someone like I couldn't have.
2017: Meeting OJT, interns and newly grad these days is disappointing. This generation has become more self-entitled than ever. (Most of them, not all)


19. I can't dance hip hop, I do ballroom.
2017: Nope.


20. During college, I joined the Theatre Arts Club and came to like it, its a place where you can act stupid and exaggerated without being laugh at - because we all do the same.
2017: I miss this.

21. As much as I love logic and reasoning, I usually fail to throw a piece of humor in any conversation. 
2017: I've learned a few good jokes and pick-up lines now. But I still suck at being funny. Haha


22. I despise gay people, they're awful. 
2017: Correction I guess, not gay people but most cross dressers who can't accept the gender that they were given. Regardless of what your heart says, just look in between your legs and stop fooling yourself.


23. I think there's too much blood in my caffeine system. XD
2017: Coffee is life. But more coffee is Lifer.


24. I don't read the Bible, but I could recite important verses from It. I made few thoughts from It as the foundation of my beliefs and way in life. Well, I'm raised religiously though basically I'm a Realist.
2017: Why is it so hard for other people to accept that Religion can't save anyone. But its one's morality that do. A little respect can stop everyone from shoving their own faith and beliefs to each other's throats. If there is Someone out there who will save us from doom? I believe He will favor anyone through their kind hearts. Not through their religion or sect.


25. I don’t miss my elementary school friends. I had none, I guess.
2017: I was different, and young peculiar children are always meant to be outcasts.


26. Someday, I really want to travel around as a freelance photographer.
2017: I guess I already did start. I've already visited atleast one place from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. And there are more places on my list now.


27. I'm always silent, I seldom speak my heart out. But whenever I say something straight, I mean it. Sure I do.
2017: I don't play with words. That's it.


28. I still keep on thinking as to how I can serve Him, for I've been failing Him quite long, well...
2017: I could say I'm now so good at failing Him. As He was at failing me.

29. I haven’t drawn for quite some time now. I can't seem to find some drive and inspiration nowadays.
2017: I wish I could still experience having so much time I could freely create things for myself.


30. I loved one stranger recently, and will ever be. 
2017: Its a cliche. We get to love who we love and we get to live with whomever stays.
