Bye Bye Best Friend.
Crying at School.
The Long-Awaited Kiss has been Filmed.
Last week on Thursday, June 4th, 2009, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who are known for their roles as Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley in the book-adapted films, have filmed the long-awaited, and fan-hyped kiss for the 7th installment of the Potter series. "Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows" will be released in two parts, the first being on November 19th, 2010 and the second on July 15th, 2011 (dates subject to change). The 6th Potter film entitled, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" is set to be released this summer on Wednesday, July 15th, 2009, two days earlier than its previous release date of July 17th, 2009.
Update on Flight 447.
You see there's this guy... <3
So there's this guy that I've known since my Senior year of high school. His name is Josh and I had fallen hard-- head over heels for him. I'm not exactly sure when it hit me, but all I can remember is the feeling of utter happiness every time he was around me. Just thinking about him and writing about him, still makes me smile and giggle like a pre-teen. He has a lot of good qualities. He's kind, considerate, funny, and he's genuinely a good guy. He would never intentionally hurt a girl, and when it comes to their feelings, he's delicate. Josh can be the alpha-male, but he's sensitive too. He's laid back and goes with the flow. He has drive, especially when he's determined to reach a specific goal. He can be protective, not just of his girl, but of his friends, sisters, and sometimes... over someone like me.
Josh and I had two classes senior year and even though one of the subjects weren't so enjoyable-- he made me look forward to it. We were friends, and he even once called me a good friend. It seems so small now, but back then I felt like doing back flips. But with that title of being a "good friend," came with a price: to actually BE a good friend. I knew what being a good friend meant. To be there for him; to encourage and cheer him on; to make him smile when he's feeling down; and to listen to him... Listen.
Listen to him talk about her. Listen to him talk about how she was so great, and how he really wanted to be with her. Listen to him talk about how he'd be good to her. Listen to him rant about that other boy who wanted her too. Listen to him compare himself to that other boy. Listen to him in all his happiness after he finally had her. Listen to him in all his broken heartedness after loosing her. Listen to him talk about trying to get her back. Listen to his desolation, after he lost her to the other boy. Listen to him talk, and talk, and talk, his voice louder than the rhythm my heart was beating for him...
Even though it hurt, at least I listened.

Harry Potter Should Have Died.
2009 MTV Movie Awards: WTF?!
It's up to nerds like us, with innovative minds and passion to bring back what the industry has taken away. I can only hope that some day we'll be able to use our nerdi-licious predisposition to make films with impact and to put real meaning back into Hollywood. Until next time, stay happy!
A Week in Review.
Every Sunday I will try to do a "week in review" blog post where I'll quickly go through top news stories in not just entertainment, but also in politics, sports, society, personal etc... I'll try to keep my opinions to a minimum, and if I do have major thoughts (or if I want to rant about a particular news story) I'll write it in a separate post. In the broadcasting class I took last semester, we had to look up media current events and present them at every class. That exercise was a good way to always be in the know. Especially for those, myself included, who wants to be part of the media someday. So I'll just call these "a week in review" blog posts as a continuation (to the next level) of what we did in the broadcasting course. Please do comment and leave me feedback, or simply just tell me what you think about a specific news story. I would love to read what your thoughts are on this, or on that. So onto the stories...
On June 1st, 2009 Air France Flight 447 crashed off the coast of Brazil with 228 passengers on board. The cause of the crash is still unknown, however the top theory in speculation is reliability of the Airbus 330 speed sensors. Airbus recommended Air France to upgrade its speed sensor to a version that would be less vulnerable to ice. Accorded to Bloomberg, "flight 447 gave inconsistent readings on its speed before plunging into the Atlantic..." Through out the week, search ships found debris from the crash and among the pieces of the plane, they also recovered a few bodies as well. My heart goes to the families and friends of the victims whose life was prematurely taken away.

Welcome to the Nerd Nation.
Do you know what it's like to go to school where the second you step in, your self-esteem decreases to ridiculously low levels? Where you suddenly feel unappreciated and worthless? I do. Do you know what it's like to go to school where every girl seems to shine with such grace and beauty that it's hard to keep your head up? Where those girls were not only pretty, but smart and confident? Where no matter how hard you try to redeem yourself, those girls were always there to one-up you? I do. Do you know what it's like to go to school where the majority of your peers could care less about what you think, or what you have to say? Where the 14 years of voice you've accumulated have suddenly dissipated, leaving you without the power to barely utter a sound? I do.
