Dear Jack

Dear Jack,

Why are you playing so hard to get? Don't you know that we'd be perfect together? I will be the best. Just give us a chance, will you? Come on. Don't make me wait forever. Look, I know I've been the one to do the chasing in the past. But this time, just let it be you. Please. Pick me! Waiting with bated breath.

Love and kisses,

Roanna

Lightning Strikes: Take Two

Why is it raining so hard?

Beats me, 'cos I feel like a lump of lard.

Drip-drip-drop, the rain falls

What crazy thunder, they've got some balls.

I am bored, I am alone

I despair and I don't deserve a phone.

I think I'll watch a film

Get the lights, hit it dim.

Goodnight

- Roanna Fernandes

Scrambled Brains

Um. Hi. I know I've been an idiot. Yes, I'm shutting out people. Why? Not exactly sure. Am I screwing over good friendships? Well, yes. Potential romances? Closed the door on that one. I need help! All I'm thinking about is making Jupiter Skye work, Rosecraft and immersing myself in tons of work. Have I been an idiot? I don't know. Time to read up on Steve Maddens.

Fashion Tip: Borrowing your dad's shirt to wear tucked inside a pencil skirt with a corset belt at the waist is pretty hot. Seen on Emily Weiss.

RIP

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

Tell the World I'm coming home

Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday

I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the World I'm coming.

You're back where you belong. I know you are, kid.

Delusion

Hey Roanna,

We think you should handle the facebook and twitter pages of Vero Moda and Only. Here's a 1000 $ for spending purposes. Oh yeah, and your salary is Rs. 27,000. We hope you'll be happy working for us.

Love,

Your fantasy.

Expelliarmus!

Get ready for a memorial speech! Since this is the last movie in the Harry Potter series, here are some of the actors and characters I'd like to applaud.

I enjoyed this part more than the first installment of The Deathly Hallows. Having the film made in 3-D didn't make much sense because the only time it looked cool was when the dementors were hovering in the theatre with us. Alan Rickman as Professor Snape has had the role in the bag right from the start - great performances. Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter has certain evolved. He may have done other movies and a play in between, December Boys and Equus but to me, he'll always be the boy who lived. Emma Watson, could we love this Burberry girl any more? From her curly hair to her button-shaped nose and her ability to switch on the Hermione Granger in her - she's been perfect through the series. We'll forgive casting that when they chose her, they wrote off Granger's buck teeth from the movie script. Rupert Grint is all grown up and how. He's quite a hottie. His renditions of Ron Weasley's "Bloody 'Ell!" and "Blimey!" are going to be missed. Okay, did you or did you not notice how the guy who plays Dean Thomas grew a couple of inches and abs (hello there!) from the last film? You know what's lovely about the entire series is that the actors have all grown up though the eight movies. That makes it so much more better. A few adjustments were made to the book to make the movie script more enticing but I've decided to let that slide. I enjoyed myself thoroughly while watching the movie.

A few special mentions: for me, Professor McGonagall was brought to life the first time I saw Maggie Smith in Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. She's remained consistent throughout - I love her acting. The guy who plays Neville Longbottom is very endearing just like his character in the book. Bellatrix Lestrange! You really want to perform all of the three Unforgivable Curses on Helen Boham Carter playing the nasty Ms. Lestrange, starting with the Imperius curse, the Cruciatus curse and finally, the killing curse (Avada Kedavra). She's pure evil. More than Voldemort, I say.

I can't think of how The Deathly Hallows could have been made better. In a sense, I still can't believe the craze is over. Next stop after Platform Nine and Three-Quarters: Potter More. Thank you, Joanne Kathleen Rowling. It's been a pleasure.

P.S. I'm reading The Deathly Hallows again. :-)

Bye Bye Birdie

Yesterday was Antoine's last day at burrp. I thought of this when he first told us that he was leaving. I can't remember the original dialogue I thought of, but this sounds like it.

A: I have something to tell you.

Me: I have something to tell you too.

A: Please. Go ahead.

Me: I quit too.

A: Oh my. Roanna!

THE END
