Thoughts That Bite

They are famous! That’s a fact no one can deny. All the seven Harry Potter books were etched deeply into its readers mind. They create a mania that no one can stop like a raging avalanche that strikes the Alps. It has become a sensation that broke many records in history.

Before, magical or fantasy novels are not taken seriously. Only a few were considered classic such as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It is because we were at that time still inclined to anti-witchcraft beliefs. We thought that things "witchy" are to be avoided. All these were changed when on a bright day of the year 2000 J.K. Rowling thought of a brilliant idea — An idea that will eventually become a craze.

It started with HPPS and now its closed was given to us by HPDH. Today is the ripe time, the time to end the saga… to end a marvelous and classic series… but not to end the devotion and love for the books. Yes the series may have ended; still it will be in our hearts. It has touched millions of lives and I could still say that more lives would be touched in the future.

It is sad to think that at almost twenty years that the joy brought about by waiting for the next book of the series to come would not be possible anymore…. NO! Wrong… Today is also the right to reveal the News. There is still more to come to the Harry Potter Sensation: It is in the form of the Harry Potter Encyclopedia J.K. Rowling would compile and write herself.

Yehey… Now we can know — in the near future — what unwritten reality was left unpublished by the author. She said that she would include original plots that has not made their way into the books, as well as facts no one ever knew… Thank you… J.K. Rowling…

"May be one day I could become like her… Just look out for the books in the future authored by someone called J.C. ROSS."

Here I am again. I am back after a short while of dormancy. I have been busy and maintaining my blog seems eternity. Now I have the chance to do so, and I would make use of it.

Lately, I have been working full-handedly to meet expectations and deadlines. I was scraped to the bones until there was nothing more left of my already-minimal energy. I became exhausted and a regular headache became my late afternoon company. With these physical signs mingled another sign — I became irritable and it seems I am against the world.

But I didn’t find for the answer of this dilemma, it presented itself to me by the form of a well-respected correspondent of mine. She talked to me, which did happen even once before. I was surprised and this surprise was tinted by a sprinkle of irritation.  There is a time that you wanted to talk to a person  but that person didn’t arrive and why is it when eventually that person arrived in an unexpected moment, you wanted to avoid that person. I don’t know…

Luckily, a good outcome has surfaced from this conversation despite my irritation. I was enlightened and came to a realization that I was misinformed all along. All my hastiness to finish the job due to deadlines came to naught and a big LAUGH. It was my fault all along for not asking clear instructions. Of course both parties have mistakes and I am open to admit it…

Thanks to the power of technology, anyway…
