MINKY CHRISTMAS... NO MORE

This is Minky a few days before we bid him goodbye, guiltily so, I must say. Starting from keeping him out of the house as much as possible these past months, we ended up with a bitter decision to “set him free” for good. I bet my sister was glad that she took these photos – our three-year-old Minky’s ultimate mementos. Well, I won’t say I wasn't glad either.

I still miss having him around. In fact, I dreamed of him finding his way back home last night. My sister says she had the same dream, too. And though my brother doesn’t say anything – except for saying “bye bye, Minky!” before leaving the house for work like what he used to –, I know he misses his only “bro” as well.

I just hope Minky’s okay wherever he is. And that he knows I’m sorry for what I did.

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ON POTTERMORE!

Yay! My waiting with bated breath and exasperation for the second book on Pottermore, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is finally over! Now there's another chance for me to be of help to my fellow Ravenclaws as the second Pottermore House Cup takes center stage again.


The bad news, though, is that I haven't been able to visit the site lately. The "Visit Pottermore" button did look very inviting, but I opted not to cave in. Yeah, so weird of me not to check it out then and there when I kept on saying that I wanted to explore the Book 2 already. Let's just say putting off things is my inclination these days. Well, at least I've got something "new" waiting for me.

HAIKU NO. 15

Been trying to get back into the writing groove, but without much success. Ironically, the absence of my writing muse became an inspiration for me to come up with this haiku, which I hope comes anywhere near a "real" one. Ha ha.

A vertical line
nonstop blinking
but going nowhere

I know, I know. I have to go somewhere, anywhere.
