The weekend with Potter (no spoilers so go ahead and read!)

I  was scheduled to visit my mag-ina (wife and kid) last weeked, but we had to stop by the giveaways trade fair last Saturday morning, so I was able to leave Manila by 8PM already. I brought the Harry Potter Book 6 with me, and I was able to finish 3 chapters in the bus.

Jo-Lo was his usual self: sleeping at daytime, and fully awake at nighttime. So when he grunts (yes, he grunts) for milk, I'd bottle-feed and burp him while I catch up with my reading. And so I spent my Sunday and Monday morning sleeping. By the way, it was Jo-Lo's 1st month birthday last July 18!



My wife Tina was also looking forward to reading HP6 so I endeavoured to finish the book before I left for Manila. Which I was able to do at 11 last night.

And my comment on the book? It was everything I expected it to be. Colorful writing, the plot has definitely become more interesting, and it was indeed fun to re-visit old characters and learn about new ones. And the Defense Against Dark Arts post? Well ... whoops no spoilers here. And the ending was ... was ... secret :-) *Sigh* It's difficult to write about a story with no spoilers. But I enjoyed reading Book 6 immensely, that much is true.

  8. awww! cute photo of you and Jo-Lo. and i already know all about HP6 even without the book because my roommate can't stop from blurting out the details. she's like you kasi she loves this stuff...narnia, HP series. and she's real crazy about the J.R. Tolkien's works. she's even a member of phil. tolkien society.

  10. Hello Amie! Di ka naman mabaliw-baliw kasi parati syang nagkukwento sa yo? :-)

    Syempre naman Toni. Kaya lang ang hirap magpigil talaga, baka may spoiler akong masabi, kaya di na muna ako magsusulat about Harry Potter :-)
