Prisoner from Azkaban

I was kinda disappointed early this morning as I wasn't able to say goodbye to my bf. He claims that he spent so many hours on his blogspot that he drained all his energy and creativity. In order to recouperate, he has to oversleep -- translation: he got to work in a rush merely to have lunch!

Anyway, I was so busy to be bothered. You might say I am just bitter, because he gets away with tardiness, or sometimes even absence, by reason of a phony meeting or a made-up client call. Wish I too can do that sometime without raising an eyebrow from my already suspicious manager. Hay, life is so unfair most of the time.

I worked like a horse today, thinking I had to finish as much as I could or else I will have to break my promise. Myke and I agreed to watch "Harry Potter" today. We expect it to be jam-packed, as it is its first showing day. That means I have to leave work at exactly 5 in order to beat all the daily afternoon MRT rush, especially that the weather seems not to be cooperating much.

Anyway, I did make it afterall. I was beginning to think I'd have to cancel our date today, but ... to hell with it. Life goes on after work! I have made it a promise to myself that I'd never sacrifice my personal time just so I can impress people in my office. I guess, some people's got screwed priorities... or perhaps I'm just too proud, plain and simple.

Harry Potter. I noticed the film to be a bit gloomier than usual. Or it could have been just the cinema projector. Fast-paced. One comment that sums it all. Yes, everything was great, the effects, the story, the actors... but I guess in their hope to compress the whole book into two hours of film time, they sacrificed a little heart. By heart what I mean is... you don't get to see Harry staring out into the moonlight thinking about his life's misfortunes, or you don't get to see Ron and Harry playing chess, or you don't get to see Harry unwrapping Christmas gifts, and you don't get to see Harry staring into his parents pictures with longing. I guess I'm just a sucker for drama, but I found it hard to digest each scene, an adventure after another. Sometimes I just need a few moments for the story to sink in, for me to feel what the characters may be feeling. Aside from it's teamendously fast pacing, the movie was totally amazing. I definitely would have to get a copy of this on DVD!

BTW, I did think of calling Sara today. But I didn't want to take the chance of having to speak to her mom. I guess her cellphone is off, because my call couldn't get through. Maybe she has no load either, as she did not answer my text messages. Hmmmm, I can't stop thinking of things I can do to make her happier. I just wish she knows how I love her so.
