Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Filming has Begun!

I checked my email and what a surprise to find an email from 'my boyfriend' with a link about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie news. Just because he knows me so well and knew I would want to see this. Awwwwww I love you shawn.

They started filming the sixth movie!!!! I am so excited. And the tentative relese date will be November 21st, 2008. A year from now. Oh my how am I going to be patient all this time? I wonder. ;) There is also two featurette clips, and from what I saw, the sixth movie is bound to be as good as the fifth was.

And I knew Daniel radcliffe (Harry), Rupert Grint (Ron) and Emma Watson (Hermione) would be back. Read rumors that they hadn't signed on for the sixth and seventh films but come on they couldn't really give up on the series, it definitely wouldn't have been the same if they changed actors, people associate them as harry, ron and hermione. No one else could pull off the roles as good, would not looklike them. That probably was part of the problem, as actors theyy didn't want to just be associated in that role, but I think daniel radcliffe changed that a bit. lol

Check it out!

Quidditch: Now that is a sport I would definitely watch or play perhaps

A while back I went to my favourite little old bookstore, close to the Bytown Theatre, and found this neat little book - related to the Harry Potter series - called "Quidditch through the ages".

I absolutely had to get it and read this especially since when I first started to get into the Harry Potter series of books and movies, and also when I first saw a Quiddittch game, I loved it. I don't know there is something about this game that is exciting. True it is a rough game and players get hurt quite a bit, but they are wizards, they can mend bones with magickal potions. lol That is one great extreme sport.

I loved the book, and loved it more since it has a seal on it marked "property of Hogwarts library". I kind of felt as if I myself went to Hogwarts and had borrowed it. And the names of the people who had borrowed it before I did.

The way it is written, you would definitely believe that this sport really exist and has teams all over the world who compete for the world Quidditch cup. I caught myself believing that it was an actual sport.

One of the Quidditch team they talked about in the book was the chudley cannons, they reminded me of the montreal canadians or the ottawa senators in the way that they used to be great and always winning the world cup and now they can't seem to win much anymore though the die hard fans still back them up, cheering them hoping for a win.

Hmmmmm... that sounds quite familiar. ;)

Anyways that is a great book. Small, easy to read and interesting especially if you are a Harry Potter fan and love odd sports and believe that magick is all around us and it could be possible that there exist a wizarding world where wizard all over the world would play Quidditch.

Dinner at Robbie's with someone special

October 25, 2007 marked the day of knowing Shawn for three months so we decided to celebrate by going out to dinner at Robbie's Italian restaurant on st-laurent. He loves it and used to work there as well. Funny that it is an italian restaurant as it is owned by lebanese people, but hey they sure know how to make great italian food.

We asked someone to take a picture of us in front of the restaurant, as a souvenir. And he said "you two would look great in any photos". Awwwwwwwww.

He treated me to dinner at Robbie's and in the morning I treated him to breakfast at Cora's I can't believe he had never been there, I believe he loved it. Cora's is one of my favourite restaurant for breakfast, because they pile up your plates with tons of fruits, and the fruit cocktail is to die for. Always get the strawberry banana one, who knows perhaps some other time I will try another one. Well actually I did Shawn got the raspberry one and had a sip, was pretty good too. No pictures, though I found this logo on google, because it was pretty much raining and as it is always the case at Cora's you always have to wait in line outside, that is how great the food is.

We both decided to have spaghetti and meatballs so that we could make spaghetti sandwiches hehehe and do as we both used to do as kids whenever we ate spaghetti. When I told Shawn I used to do that and he told me he always did the same thing, we were both amazed at that... almost as if we were destined to meet, a real soul connection, exactly alike in so many ways. That one thing is just one of the things we always did the same way growing up without ever knowing.

We carved another pumpkin as well, I found this little baby pumpkin and decided to get it so we could also carve it together. The design is a bat and I also added the words I love u to the back. Felt bad that our other pumpkins rotted so quick and had to be "put to sleep" hehehe so soon.

On Halloween Eve we saw each other again and went for the original Ottawa Haunted Walk. Basically you just walk with a group of people and the guide tells you all different ghost stories that happened to people at various landmark in the Ottawa region.

I love this I would suggest anyone to go see it at least once. The original haunted walk is interesting but I think the ghost and gallows - this one is only for a short period around halloween - is quite interesting as well. I took that one a while back with two friends.

The Best Surprise of all on Halloween

Yesterday was Halloween, and I didn't really do anythign that exciting, just stayed home due to a cold. I needed to rest and also fix up the website I did for the office where my mother works.
I know pretty boring way to spend Halloween, but when you are feeling sick, you kind of don't really feel like going out or doing that much.

But, to my surprise, I got some unexpected company for a little while. My boyfriend was around where I lived as he and his family were at a favourite restaurant of theirs (colonnade pizza) to celebratehis parents' anniversary . Their pizza is really good, tasty I mean... though quite greasy so I woulldn't eat that every day as it is not that healthy but it is good I must admit. And out of the blue, he decided to come and see me for a little bit, his mom's suggestion.

No one has ever done that, come over out of the blue just to see me... well perhaps aside from my parents, awwwwwwwwwwww so sweet. I have the best and thoughtful boyfriend ever.

I love you shawn.

After he left I managed to finish what I was doing for the freelance web site I did for my mom, perhaps seeing shawn gave me the energy I needed becasue I figured what was wrong with the coding very fast. Now tonight I will do all the things I need to do, laundry, clean my apartment and get that out of the way so that I can spend time with shawn and not have to be stuck with chores, and finally will be able to start doing the things I enjoy,: painting, drawing, reading, yoga finally, etc. now that the boring stuff is out of the way not that web design is boring, that one is ok. And also start taking better care of myself to not be tired so much and think of a list of people I need to get a little somethign for christmas and go shappoing ahead of time to not be stuck last minute, I despise that. And I think soon enough I will start decorating for christmas now that halloween is over, I love to make a christmas village. And now there is a fireplace in my apartment so I can put my christmas tree in front and have more room for the village.

All right that is all for now.
