Two quotes from Harry Potter and The Prisioner of Azkaban




"Now, my three friends could hardly fail to notice that I disappeared once a month. I made up all sorts of stories. I told them my mother was ill, and that I had to go home to see her... I was terrified they would desert me the moment they found out what I was. But of course, they, like you, Hermione, worked out the truth....

And they didn't desert me at all. Instead, they did something for me that would make my transformations not only bearable, but the best times of my life. They became Animagi."
Remus Lupin, unravelling about his past.




"I'll understand, of course, if you want to stay with your aunt and
uncle. But... well... think about it. Once my name's
cleared... if you wanted a... a different home..."
Sirius Black said to Harry, on their way back to Hogwarts.

Snap Thought #7

I don't know why, but when I don't write about my own feelings, I feel I'm not writting about myself.

Sugar Babies

No, the title doesn't refer to porn. Sugar babies are children of people who run away from the misery in Haiti to work in sugar cane fields, in semi-slavery conditions, in Dominican Republic. Most of their exports are in form of sugar, to USA, and that's what makes american sugar so cheap.

While bigger politicians and activists don't change this situation, I joined a canadian friend, Deborah, in an effort of promoting education for those children. I've just recently got in touch about the idea, but I've spent all my day in thinking and researching about a way to contribute with the project. I'll probably have further news about it soon!

Drowsy

I've been taking this medicine, called Polaradex, for the coughing I got a week ago, due to the dry weather. The problem with it is that it makes me drowsy. I'm thinking on not taking it tomorrow morning due to the Calculus IV exam I'm gonna take.

  • A motorcycle
  • A monocycle

Why

The theme was started by looking through some Maurits Cornelis Escher pictures, which are physically impossible to exist, but definately possible to be drawn, when the Horseman picture was found.
To fit this background, some arabic/islamic pictures were seen when I finally found the current header one, which fits perfectly into the arabic/islamic idea of the Escher picture and the idea of traveling as a need, for ponderings and reflections, and how one's decision makes part of other's life.
