Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and The Twilight

So after me and a gazillion more danced our way into the calendar and starred November to highlight our excitement for the 6th installation of the Harry Potter series- Harry Potter and the Half-blood prince, we are now on a downer holding grip to our seatmate’s tangled hair, I mean into the threads of our patience as we all sit back and wait until July 17, 2009 which is by the way the moved date of Harry Potter 6. I would just have to accept this as a good light knowing that the last two movie franchises will soon end. So I’d say, this is the sweetest waiting agony ever. Anyways, HP 6 is directed by David Yates with Steve Kloves for the screenplay.

Now, because I always get the chills whenever I hear this trademark bed sound of Harry Potter movie, I am posting the Half-blood prince movie trailer here.

Now, to appease the somewhat dismayed crowd of HP lovers, Summit entertainment will show the Twilight movie. Many Harry Potter fans are showing high appreciation for this novel made by the genius of Stephenie Meyer. The synopsis can be canned in a very simple structure – a girl who fell in love with a vampire. But, there are more to see than this simple description so here is a swift but sweet trailer. The movie is directed by Catherine Hardwicke with Melissa Rosenberg for the screenplay.

Now, a book saved my depression from the almost blatant farewell of HP. Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Percy is a son of Posiedon, the God of Sea. Unlike Harry, Percy is more active and this could be because he is a demigod. Now, like HP, this book is also on a wonderful series of titles -The Lightning Thief (2005) The Sea of Monsters (April 1, 2006) The Titan's Curse (May 1, 2007). The Battle of the Labyrinth (May 6, 2008). The Last Olympian (May 5, 2009).

These are all authored by Rick Riordan and are now available in National Bookstore. Book 5 The Last Olympian will be released May 2009.

Here are the covers of the different titles.

Self Love

I’ve been contemplating to write about this topic for a very long time. I know for sure that writing about this topic will definitely give definition to the aim of this blog- to articulate what is discreet. Quite a bold imposition on myself I know. But, I’m not taking this in to make myself shining. My aim is to be truthful and realistic. I am trying to show the deepest pore of every surface. Now, I am also contemplating on jazzing up the face and concept of this blog. I still want to keep the first aim and add some things that will help me widen the crunch of my every get go.

Now go back to the first sentence and head right back here. The topic I’m talking about is “self love”. Nah, I am so not talking about Narcissism. Now, too much articulation may lead to some unfavorable response to my stance so let me try to conceal some terms and words and phrases just so I can preserve my “wholesome” personality here. =) “Self love” has been prevalent among guys, but just recently girls immerged to have the same “deed” too. Taboo will dictate that this act is insane. It is not right to do self love because it basically abuses one’s respect for him/her. Plus, the fact that doing the deed needs lots of “inspiration” and this I need not expound about.

Now, self love has gone a long way from just a basic “individual activity”. We all know that the world being mobile has paved the way to online socializing. It has also paved the way to online “romance”. The advent of webcams and unlimited call services have made “self love” more interesting as what some people will claim. Not to judge or anything, but I personally find the idea lame.

Perversion or human nature- You do the math.

Do you do much self love too? No malice attached. No pun intended. (Whoa! I’m being too defensive)

Paradigm Shift

They say nothing is permanent but change. They say everything shall have its metamorphosis to realize the full worth of their existence. Alchemy process or a simple change in color and shape shall always entail great significance of development and shift of paradigm. Now, before I ran out of poetical words, let me tell you that this blog will soon reach its 1st year of being born in Blogosphere. Come October, you guys shall send in your kudos to me for a year that went by with my blog somewhat strongly waving in the webby land. (Yes, I’m forcing you to greet me)

Like what some of you are aware of, I am planning to undergo a massive redesign for this blog. I find Greenfields of My Menace too elusive, but I MIGHT change it to a name more sleek and catchy; something that will hunt you before bed time. Something that will make you wiggle and giggle every time you’re reminded of it. Nah, kidding here, but the redesign thingie is real.

I have to say that this first year has been a provision period for me to try out what will work for my blog. I have gained some readers. (whom I hope will continue to read) I have gained friends and mentors and yes, detractors. But, its all good. I can confidently say that I am well-equipped with the right knowledge to make this blog better, brighter and uhm bolder? Ha Ha Ha.

So while my poll is still on the running, I would love to hear it from you guys. Please send in comments, suggestions, and anything you can say for me to improve my blog. I would also appreciate criticisms and grammar corrections. And of course, a confession on liking me is highly recommended. Ha Ha Ha, better end this now before you go cracking up your PC.

Send in some love guys!

A Duel between Pain and Itch

On a nut shell, we all know that it’s easier to bear pain than itch. Say, you are wearing a shoe with multiple laces. The tight feeling of that shoe in your foot can be tolerated for a good 8-10 hour wear. Now, feeling an intense itch on the foot inside that tight shoe will surely make you go crazy. You will not endure the itch. You will surely take time to unlace the shoe and take it off to scratch that crazy itch big-time! Yes, scratch it until you feel that simple heaven of relieving the itch. This kind of “itch vs. pain” school of thought can be applied to all body parts. From head, to the chest and yeah, down there until you reach the feet.

Poetically, Itch vs. Pain is also quite a brain boomer. It’s basically saying that as human, we tend to go to directions which we see as more convenient than the other. If we see pain or hardships even before we start dealing with it, we turn to the more pleasing side of doing it the easy way - Very much like the scratching an itch fashion.

Now on a cheesy take, it is perceived by many hopeless romantics that scratching an itch is easier than bearing a pain. But, some go the other way. The itch of flirtation is quite prevalent these days. Flirting is deemed to be a convenient way of getting through the night. The pain of staying alone and empty after the stint of flirtations is actually something that will not last long until the next flirt comes around. Now, if you’re a flirt, I didn’t mean to offend you.

Forgive me for these rambling thoughts. It’s the product of my great fascination on how true it is that pain is easier to endure than itch. And I know that you are nodding your head now like a possessed dork in agreement or maybe personal accounts. All my laughs for you.

You've been teased!

Yes, here we go again.

Another addition to our greenfields here. I searched the net domain to find a good affiliate in this blog. So, after a tideous search and humungous deliberation, I finally found the right one to join my writing and ahm blogging stint here. This "character" shall help me articulate more on the things that are happening around our society but are too vague for us to see or absord. I'd say this "character" is the hardcore menace. Don't worry guys, this buddy of mine is currently undergoing a strict training and soon enough he'll blabber here on our fields. And yes, I will dare show this "character's" face to you. So, keep on raiding my field and I am out to try my best to make it even better towards greatness. Amen. ;)
