  • friday night movies #5

    Tonight’s movie is very, very special. Why? Because I just watched the Deathly Hallows part 2! Woohoo! DH2 was just released today in my country, due to the dispute about tax and yada yada yada. But it’s okay, though, cause I HAVE WATCHED IT! (I’m a maniac :p)

    The movie opens exactly where the first part left off, right after Harry buried Dobby. The scenes quickly change, from Shell’s Cottage, to Gringotts, to Hog’s Head, and to where the final scene takes place: Hogwarts. I’m not quite sure if it was just me, or the movie really runs in a very fast pace. I just sat there and then the movie ended. The whole series ended!

    Anyways, I cried. From the middle part to the very last scene. I watched it with Angga, and he was like “Oi! Stop crying! I don’t wanna walk around the city with you and your swollen eyes!” Haha… But seriously, people, the part where the bodies of Fred, Tonks, and Lupin are lying on the floor is the saddest! Not to mention this one:

    “After all this time, Severus?”

    “Always.”

    God… :'(

    Kay. Nuff rambling. I guess I don’t have to talk too much about the movie cause I’m sure you guys have watched it. Or if you haven’t watched it yet, I don’t want to give too much spoiler (although the spoilers actually have already been there in the form of seven novels :p)

    Raise your glass for Severus Snape, the bravest wizard of all time!

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

    PS. Let’s swap blog buttons in August! Visit this page for more information 😉

  • ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to…

    Heather from Lilac & Lace!

    As you may have known, this month my blog is sponsored by six awesome people (look at my sidebar!) Heather is one of them. She is the girl behind Lilac & Lace. Let’s check out my interview with her 🙂

    Hey there, Heather! Tell us a bit of yourself 🙂
    Hello! I am a professional dancer, living in Los Angeles with my husband of three years. I love scrap-booking, art journaling and crafts of all kind, but I especially enjoy blogging and photography.

    What is Lilac & Lace about? When did you start it?
    Lilac and Lace is a lifestyle blog and I keep it pretty personal. But as an avid dancer, dance aficionado and ballet instructor, I also use it as another way to share my passion for dance with others. I started it a few years ago mainly because I was bored at work, but it also served as a way to keep our family over seas up to date with our daily lives.

    Do you have any advice for other bloggers on how to keep inspired and keep yourself away from blogger’s block?
    It’s tough to keep up the blogging sometimes (I just had a bad spell of blogger’s block myself!) I think the best way to ward off a lack of inspiration on what to blog about is to just write honestly. Ultimately you have to do it for yourself and I think if you aren’t too worried about posts you’ll naturally write what matters to you…And that usually makes for the most interesting blogs. Don’t sweat it too much and it will usually pass. 😉

    You’re a dancer. When did you start dancing?
    I started dancing when I was three and I’m still at it!

    Is there any other thing you want to share with us?
    Hmmm… Diet Coke is my favorite beverage and I am seriously terrified of spiders and flying. But I love blogging and meeting new bloggy buddies! I hope you’ll come visit me and I also just want to thank Putdar for letting me share all this on her fantabulous blog! I am so honored and lucky to have her as a blog friend!

    Thank you for sharing with us, Heather! And you, guys… You should check out Heather’s blog and her shop too 🙂

    (I’m still open for August’s blog button swap. If you are interested, please visit this page to find out more.)

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • happiness is…

    Getting the ticket for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 premiere AND a strategic seat

    and this…

    Last night I read this tweet and got waaaayy too excited that I was almost hyperventilated (haha!). Deathly Hallows part 2 is finally here, guys! In Indonesia! The premiere will be on the 29th, but the ticket can already be purchased today. So Angga and I went to Braga. We bought two tickets and then I died…

    No way.

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • blog button trade for august! 😀

    Last month, I started accepting sponsors in the form of button trade. It went quite well. I gained 8 new followers this month and my stastics went sky high. This is so exciting! So, I decided to open another blog button trade for the month of August. Do you wanna join me? 😉

    For more details about the sponsorship, you can visit this page. Thank you! ;D

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • in my playlist tonight: ABBA

    My friends say that I was born in the wrong era. I should’ve been born in the 70s. Why? Because I love (and I mean I LOOOVVVEEE) ABBA. Poor kids my age don’t know them. Luckily I have a cousin who loves ABBA and she introduced me to their songs when I was 12. Seven years and I’m still in love with them.

    And tonight, my friends, I’m gonna make you love them too! You should listen to these songs and leave a comment telling me what you think about my favourite ABBA’s songs 🙂
