book 8: harry potter and the deathly hallows

borrowed this book from a friend two years ago. and i started reading it just recently. it only goes to show that i was not too excited about it.

i was never a harry potter fan. i'm just a slave of pop culture. ten years from now or maybe even earlier, the harry potter series will be considered as classics - required reading in school perhaps. my kid, my inaanaks, nieces or nephews will definitely be reading this stuff for book reports, and i should have at least some knowledge about it. anyway, i think that hp7 is the best book of the series. the ending was kind of lame though. hmmm. maybe i better shut up. i don't want to start bashing harry potter. i can go on for hours.

i started reading the series just because everyone was reading it. but i don't think that it was a complete waste of time though. it was useful for coffee break small talks back then. people were just so crazy about it. it can fill in awkward quiet moments or lighten up boring conversations.

i continued reading coz i need to find out the ending. what's the point of starting if you don't get to see how it ends? we all need to know, no matter how it sucks.

allow me to be senti for a bit. wait. let me grab a bottle of beer in the ref...

cheers to endings, to goodbyes, to closing cycles! happy, disastrous, depressing, or bittersweet... it doesn't matter. we survived. long enough to experience them.

cheers!
