Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Review


Update: Okay my review is a little harsh because it's mostly for people who read the book. Really the movie is awesome. GO SEE IT or FREAKIN WATCH THE BOOTLEG.
It was a sad ending for everyone but lets give a realistic review to everyone who  may want to go out watch the movie  or save themselves the annoyance and watch it online. First off if you read the critic reviews yes the movie was great, it was best of the movie series, but if you read the book, the movie was a bit of a disappointment.   Warning: Spoilers
Story: B- at most
First off, only the first 30 minutes actually devoted toward the the rest of the plots. That's okay. This makes watchers think they will really get into the story. So first off they skirmish on Dobby's death. That doesn't annoy us much because the goblin does mention how curious it is that Harry buried him. They skirmish on Bill's warning about goblins. Which is okay for watchers because it causes impact when Griphook betrays them.  Overall the whole gringotts scene is pretty good. But when they get Hogsmede that's when we get very annoyed. They completely skip on the part Ariana and Grindelwald. This is very important for the readers to understand Dumbledore and Harry's character development. If it wasn't for this bit, Harry might not of gone out to face Voldemort. Then they go into the castle. Very accurate. Seamus goes and call up the order. Also really great. But then we see a plot loop.
My, hello, Luna how did you get here?
Seamus was noted to call the Order. Luna is a year younger than Harry so could not be possibly called. How did she get here? Why is she here? The coins were explained in the book but not here.Besides these little annoyance, we moved on and the movie gets awesome.
Neville was awesome
 Then it's the penisieve annoys me again. They completely skip how much Snape loved Lily and what he went through in devotion to her. All we really get out of it is that he loved her. No deeper meaning.
Then lastly the epic fight with Harry and Voldemort. It was a good fight but they ended up doing a lot of muggle dueling and if you read the series you know Voldemort hates muggles. Why on earth would he fight like one. That was a bit confusing. Its obvious the screenwriters and director cared more about captivating the audience then actually being acurate.  But it's what ever. It's not going to change much.
Overall story wise: I give the story a C+ or B-. It didn't suck but it wasn't great. I mean compared to the  Dark Knight, it fell really short. Compared to all the other movies out this weekend, this is the must see movie event. It mean it did do some justice in some areas but was like a criminals at crucial things. You get the gist.
Acting: A+
 All the characters really got it together for the finale. And I was surprised to see so many new faces. This movie was the most diverse with the extras. I guess everyone wanted to be in the finale. Snape acting was the best to me. I always liked his character for some odd reason and now I know why. My second favorite was Neville. Omg I fell in love with his character development. Now viewers truly see he is fit to be a gryffindor.  Omg talking back straight to Voldemort. At least this was an aspect that the screenwriters didn't fail in.
Direction: C+
For obvious reasons
Visuals: A+
At least the aspect was increadibly awesome.  The effects were just way too good.

Overall: Solid B
So the movie is actually worth seeing. But if you haven't read the books. This is the time to go and read them. This is a sad ending to the saga that has taken about 11 years of all our lives. Thanks for reading.

My extended break is over.

I feel really bad for not posting so long. I have pictures and such but then other bloggers will  post about a cool place they visit but when I visit a cool place. I always forget to take pictures so I never feel like blogging about it. Then I watched this interview of Xiaxues'. She said that she blogged about things about herself that no one may care about and really thought no one would read her blog; it's her playground. It was a bit inspiring.
This summer I am not going to travel anywhere special. I decided to complete several goals. One is to lose weight. Well not really lose weight... I want to tone up. That person who inspired me to do that is Jordan Sparks, I mean have you seen her lately?



In comparisons the pictures with the grey bikini, I am slightly larger than that. But I want to have a tone stomach. It would look so great in a bikini. Before I never really cared about my weight or body shape, I was very skinny 2 years ago. Now, on the trend I am following, in as soon as 5 years I could become obese. It's in my genetic makeup, but I'm going to fight it. I'm going to jog daily and use my ab circle and try (but not suceeding -----> well i can , i just can't eat right porpotions<------- >_<) to eat right.
Another goal is to work on my dancing. So far I have been study the Isabella Duncan technique, which I am good at, and work my way to be able to do jazz dancing.  I suck overall as a dancer but I am a colorguard (the girls in purple)  in the East Ramapo Marching Band. It's my dream to become a dancer (the girls in gold).
The begining is the good part to see the dancers.
Our better video. Our best performance caught on video

It would be awesome to be a dancer. I've been in marching band for 4 years and usually this would be the time that a colorguard would become a dancer if you weren't one already. But my weak dancing skills could easily hinder my chance of becoming a dancer. It would also mean I would be treated insignificantly by the other dancers whom I have been in mb just as long as they have.

And finally my last goal is to become a better violinist. I joined the jazz program at my school and I'm doing to their summer workshop but it's kinda difficult. I can't improve, I don't know jazz for my life, and I have deadly stage fright. But to be a better violinist is my goal. The worst part is a 10th grader is the best violinist in the school and is also in the program- fml worth embarrassment, the guy makes me feel like that I have the talent of a 4th grader and it doesn't help that all the band members in the jazz workshop have some sort of talent.


Oh wait I forgot about my last goal. I also want to make my blog look pretty and post some videos this summer. I have been saying it for months but I really got to get my youtube together. I also want to make a cool layout for my blog. Any ideas.

Before I go, I also want to talk about this company in Austin, Texas. My friend down there is in love with them. They got ride of the skunk odors in her house and ever since is always talking bout them. Happy now, Christine?

Star Trek is Fun

Guest post written by my buddy Brian Workman
I can get Star Trek on a couple of channels on my satellite TV that I got after seeing this http://www.directstartv.com and I've probably seen each episode a half a dozen times. I remember watching it growing up and being taken in by the “great” special effects. Of course now they seem pretty tame compared to the Star Trek movies or the other space movies like Alien or the Star Wars saga. What I like best about Star Trek is its campiness. It deals with real honest issues like pollution and war and even politics. The fun is in the acting, especially Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner. Kirk is impossibly moral and each episode seems to test the limits of that morality. By now his scenery-chewing acting has become almost parody to me, but back then I thought he was the best actor I'd ever seen. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) is the exact opposite of Kirk, dispassionate and highly logical. Although they are both smart, a lot of Kirk's intelligence is street smarts. Spock is book smart and the combination of the two characters working together to solve the problems of the universe is always entertaining. It shows that there are different viewpoints that can reach the same conclusions, which, in today's politically correct environment seems almost quaint.

Egg + Ranzuki June 11 scans



Update: I made a blunder these 2011 scans not 2006 scans I find that I increasingly need to be explain everything on my blog. No I will not try False lashes ever again. It was misery and embarrassing. If that makes un-gyaru so be it. I didn't ask for your approval. And don't assume all my pictures on this website will feature me in gyaru makeup so don't automatically it assume either.  I like gyaru but I like what is comfortable first. Don't force me to live by your rules.
Anyway here is some scans that I liked from Egg and Ranzuki June
Love belly rings but they are so painful that unless they have a painless procedure, I wouldn't do it.
 I want another ear piercing but my family is so against it. Ugh. I want it so bad
 Tongue piercings is one thing I'll never do. How do you eat with metal on your tongue?













False lashes and Annoying People, One Huge post

I know I have been a terrible blogger but lately there has been nothing to blog since I sold my phone and now I can't take pictures( fml moment). But I do update my tumblr quite often so I'm letting you know right now; if you use tumblr, follow me on tumblr!


So right now two three things are pissing me off this week.
  1.  I tried wearing false lashes in public and it was a fail. So I'm back to doing makeup ekimura way.  
  2. My friends had put down gyaru and had this talk with me over my "fakeness" and "insecurity". I am not talking to them for a while.
  3. The Gaijin Gyaru Community is so compulsively annoying
So starting backwards, the gyaru community is so annoying to the point I don't involve myself in the community. The reason being is not only is their racism; they are so rigid! They have one singular definition of gyaru: To look exactly like the models in the magazines.  According to them if you can't do that, then don't attempt to be gyaru.  Really? Is this how ignorant people are.  Gyaru is horrible when you are copycats. Everyone translate the style a different way. Gyarus are simply fashionistas who like to look unique and cute. They wear unnatural eyelashes because not everyone wears them,  we wear circle lens cuz no one else wears them. Don't be so quick to judge. Gyaru brands are merely the most fashionable brands, that's why we wear them.  Worst of all western gyarus hate high school gyarus- especially newbies.  Are you guys all self- absorbed camwhores with no life so you must crush other people's will? That is what most people think you are. So cut the crap.

Oh and can I remind you. Gal Secrets is about personal secrets not ruthless bashing and getting bothering people with no association to the Gyaru Community.  Get a life.

 I think  Japanese Gyarus laugh at us because our community is so stupid.


The thing about my friends. I can't believe they had the nerve to do such a thing. Yes I wear foundation, eyeliner, mascara, blush, circle lens, lip gloss and false nails. But that's it.  Thats the simplist of gyaru makeup. But they claim I wear over the top stuff to hide my insecurity. And when I expain to them I do this stuff because I like being a gyaru. They said it's not the place for it and by time I'm 20, I'll look ancient. WHAT COMPLETE BULLCRAP! Proper facial care and good makeup actually makes your skin better. I was so mad. People I claim to be friends do not understand that this is my life and I'll do what I want to do with it! Also they got overly annoying when they put down me dieting. These 2 little sticks told me I had no need to diet.  Yeah, tell that to the girl who weighs 40 more then you. And funny thing is I told them I want to go on a regular diet and exercise to tone my stomach so I could wear a bikini and look fabulous colorguard uniform (which is a bodysuit).

You see very form-fitting and if you look closely, you can see my stomach bulge and belly button
 
Not even like an extreme diet. I went on this diet for a week and I weighed in 7 pounds less. Just imagine how much healthier I would look in 2 months. I would be like Jordan Spark with her 4 pack (you should see it). On this diet I ate a bowl of special k for breakfast. Something less than 300 calories for lunch and Smart Ones or Go lean for dinner and Weight Watcher ice cream for snack. I would do sittups once I wake up and before I go to sleep. But I did like 300 before I go to sleep (with breaks of course). Simple diet without going to the extremes right? Why can't my friends understand that? I don't workout with a weight goal. I have a body goal thus gives me courage.  And of course I have talked about plastic surgery but not seriously. I mean hello, welcome to the 21st century, surgery is like a fashion trend now. Just like tattoos. Everyone wants one. Even my friends want a tat. But to them plastic surgery is unholy even if it is as subtle as a butt lift (trust me people notice boob jobs but no one notice butt jobs until you say something or they are really huge)

AND worst of all last week I wore these really cute falsies in public but all my attempts ended in failure. The revlon glue did not dry clear so everyone saw it and my lashes were falling off. FML I had to last the whole day with them.

So a colorguard gyaru with a bad lash job and two insensitive friends. I bet you did not see that coming.
