Do You Hear What I Hear, Little Drummerboy?
0 violent reactions From the nonsensical thoughts of your DramaQueen at 11:03 PMKidding, I'm not ranting this time. Not because I have nothing to rant about - I could go on and on and on about society turning Jesus' birth into some self-indulging, capitalist holiday - it's because I don't feel like spoiling everybody's mood. I'm not The Grinch, thankyouverymuch.

Have a good one.
Cheers ♥s.

PETA Asia-Pacific's Wish List
0 violent reactions From the nonsensical thoughts of your DramaQueen at 11:39 AMPETA Asia-Pacific sent me a newsletter about their Christmas wish list. It's mostly stuff they need for their HQ in the Philippines. I plan to go check out prices of some of the stuff in their list just so I could help out. I may be scrimping on money, seeing as I'm currently on a shortage of it, but I believe in PETA's cause - and the cause of GreenPeace and WWF (Panda-savers, not the wrestlers.)
I promised myself that when - that's when, not if - I become filthy rich, I'd support these organizations financially. I love the planet, and the rest of the animal kingdom deserves to continue living in a habitable world. What concerns me about society - most of it, anyway - is that people talk about ethics regarding how they treat other people but they don't even consider the needs of the other living things.
I'm not here to rant, even though I've started to. (Haha.)
I'm here to ask you guys that if you could, you help out, too. That's if you could, I'm not forcing you to do anything.
Here's PETA's wish list, I copied+pasted it from their e-mail:

Traditions, Traditions...
0 violent reactions From the nonsensical thoughts of your DramaQueen at 8:52 PM- Yours Truly as a Philanthropist. (We threw a party for the less fortunate kids who live near the campus.) (I hope they had fun.)
- Bonding time with the family, most 'specially the cousins who will be spending much time getting drunk in my room. It's tradition. I can't break it. Haha.
- Yours truly having a hidden nervous breakdown on New Year's Eve. It's kind of a usual thing I go through every 31st of December. I don't know why.
- Yours truly writing resolutions, which she will try her hardest to fulfill in the next year.
- The Christmas-Slumber Party my friends and I are celebrating on Wednesday. This consists of drunk people doing speeches, drunk people saying sorry/iloveyouguys to whoever sits beside them, and drunk people who kiss you when you say goodbye.

Of Wizards and Stories
0 violent reactions From the nonsensical thoughts of your DramaQueen at 9:09 PMI bought Tales - Wait, correct and rephrase that - my sister bought me Tales as a Christmas present. Annoyed her last week so she got it reserved for me. I love having a sister who does something for a living.
So anyhoo, according the intro by Rowling, Beedle the Bard was this wizard who wrote five stories for little wizards and witches. (By little, I mean children, luvs, not those of the vertically-challenged category.)
It's kind of what we muggles call as fairy tales. As mentioned, there are five stories: The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, The Warlock's Hairy Heart, Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump, and The Tale of the Three Brothers, which was introduced in the seventh Harry Potter book.
Dumbledore even has his commentaries after each story, giving us a background on how each story affected the wizard world.
The amazing thing about Rowling is that when you read what she writes, it's as if you've lived through it, as if somehow you're actually affected by what's happening. Reading a book that serves as somewhat a history of the HP universe made me feel as if it were my own history. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Rowling makes you feel somehow involved, like you're important to that world, like what happens to them happens to you.
You feel as if you're more affected of the witch hunts (from Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump) than the recession of the U.S.
I don't even know why I'm doing a review on this seeing as you'd get nothing but praises from me when it comes to Rowling and Harry Potter. It's like what Jessica Zafra (one of my many local heroes) said when she did a review on Lord of the Rings, it's as if you're doing a review on your religion, you're blind to its flaws. (I can't blame her.) (LOTR was thisclose to perfection.) (Book and Film.)
Anyhoo, it's a great read. Die hard fans should go get it to read to their children and/or future children.
For the eighth time, kudos to you, Miss Rowling.
RATING: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Ciao my ♥s. Happy Wizarding.

A Poem
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
