Night of the 12th, I got a text from Krissy na tuloy na tuloy na tuloy na kami sa Harry Potter premiere the next day, sa Glorietta 4! So Tuesday night, nag treasure hunt ako sa big cabinets ko of memorabilia looking for these:

HP printed pictures, magazines, newspaper clips of movie posters, cards, articles, etcetera.

Circa 2001

Movie Day: Met up with Krissy at around 4pm in Ortigas so we can claim our tickets in her friend Dewi's office. Thank you so much girls!

...And had a little "show and share"! :) Krissy brought with her her Film Wizardry (a must-have! hay...pera come to me!)

I brought my high school scrapbook and Vanity Fair:

When we went up to the cinemas, line was already formed! Kinabahan kami!

We were able to get good seats though, and when we were finally settled in the 3D theater, nagstart nalang bigla yung film. I wouldn't spoil anything, but I did cried the whole time, haha. Nasesenti ako, guys! :P Good thing we were wearing 3D glasses or super obvious na luha ko haha.

I was with good company. Thank you Krissy for letting me experience a Harry Potter premiere night! It was THE BEST last date with Harry I can ever have. 

Outfit!

I had this shirt since high school, my good friend and sister Camille gave it to me as present. Not sure if for my birthday or for Christmas, but I never threw it away kahit napaglakihan ko na. Decided to wear it again kahit hindi na ako nagbe-baby tee, just to get the "feel" of the night. When I checked myself in the mirror before leaving the house, I actually got sentimental and saw my 3rd year high school self again, the girl who wished she had Harry Potter as her promdate (haha). I saw the young Anagon who mixed her school reading materials with the JK Rowling magical series...Kahit brownout pa, kasi sabi ni Cea "Maganda yan! About school!" How time flies nga naman. *sigh*

It might have been the last, but as JK Rowling said: So whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.

Thank you, Harry Potter, for the magical experience. But most of all, thank you for teaching me the value of family-love, true friendship, and being brave no matter how small you are. Ending this post with these high school photos. :,) 

To the boy who lived. <3

Ana: I manage my own online shop where I sell accessories I design and made. You can view my designs at at www.shopanagon.tk and www.facebook.com/anagoncollection :)

Ana: There's so much lovely high-heeled shoes in the market, but right now I really really want to have all the Toms and Sanuk in the world! They are just the comfiest!

Ana: Denim shorts, loose long tops, and floral dresses.

2) My I Am A Scholastican billboard! :)

Thank you so much to Ms. Cez of St. Scho Manila for this, and to Tamemsky my kabarx for helping me with the photo op! :) <3

Other featured Scholasticans are Ms. Risa Hontiveros, Ms. Gloria Diaz, Nicolette Henson, and my Preview idol: Ms. Agoo Benzon! :) <3

Again, all I need now after the looong "drought" is a simple motivation that I am on the right road, and I am doing alright. Thank you Lord for these blessings to keep me up on my toes whenever I feel so lazy and burned out from the things I am doing (blogging, making accessories, online selling).

All for YOU Lord. And like how a true blooded Scholastican will put it: That in all things, God may be glorified!

With one of my dearest blog barkada, Ava. :) Thank you for being there with me. I tell you guys, she accompanies me in bazaars without any payment or whatever--she doesn't even expect that I'll let her bring her own merchandise to sell in my stall. I know when a person is unconditional. And I saw that in this girl. :) <3

And of course, before leaving St. Scho, I asked Ava if she can take my picture with our small, nakakalbo na, but still memorable field as background: *le sigh*


Still keeping the flames burning. 
Thank you St. Scho. 
I'll miss you again.
