Pottermore Means There’s More Potter

Thirteen years after the first book has been published, Harry Potter continues to be a favorite amongst readers of all ages. To say that I’m a fan is an understatement. I have lost count of the number of times I have read all seven books and browsed HP sites online. I am a JK Rowling follower on twitter even if since September 2009 she has only tweeted seven times (and I’m not kidding). She said that pen and paper are her priorities and that she created her twitter account mainly because she didn’t want anyone tweeting on her behalf; so that fans can only receive official announcements about HP only from her.

Watching Harry Potter movies has become a bonding activity for the entire family. We are actually looking forward to watching the second part of Deathly Hallows. Excited but a bit sad, that would be how I’d describe it. I know, I know, you may say that it’s just a character and it’s all fiction, but for a fan like me, the thought that it’s all ‘ending’ can be very sad in a way.

Even before the release of the last book, countless emails (and even online petitions) have been sent to JK Rowling asking her to write more books about Harry Potter and his magical world. I remember there were even some news reports that JK Rowling may write books about Albus Dumbledore.

A few days ago, though, JK Rowling made an official announcement about a website called Pottermore. I found out about it when I saw the term ‘Pottermore"’ as a trending topic in various social sites and search engines. When I headed to the site, the ‘coming soon’ page still got me curious. Today though, I was able to submit my email address to the site which means that I’ll receive a notification when registration  opens.

Let’s just hope that I’ll remember to visit the site again on July 31 so that I can enter Pottermore earlier than the October launch. But for a fan like me, the 31st of July is not hard to remember. Why ? Because it’s Harry Potter’s birthday !

Online Shopping Made Easy

The mobile phone that my husband has been using has been with him for years. We can’t even remember when we purchased it. He’s not really into all those techie stuff, and according to him, as long as a phone serves its purpose, then he doesn’t have a problem with it. Anyway, his phone has been acting up lately and it’s been giving him problems.

Hubby has decided that it’s time to buy a new phone. He needs it for our business, too, especially if he has an ongoing transaction with a supplier. But after paying for the kids’ tuition fees and paying our monthly bills, we have to make sure that we get a good deal. Lately, he has been interested in the LG phones he has seen. He’s just not sure if he can find one that’s also affordable. That’s when I suggested that we look online and try and see if we can find the same phones he has seen.

We honestly haven’t made a major purchase online that’s why we’re trying to be as cautious as we can. That’s why it’s great that there are trusted online classifieds sites like AyosDito. We have been browsing through the site and we are overwhelmed by the number of choices available. We have actually seen a few that has the features that my husband is looking for. The price is also something that we’re considering. If we can find one that fits our budget and has the features that we’re looking for, then that would be much better.

A neighbour has actually been asking us how to find cheap LG phones and we have told him about AyosDito. Online shopping has never been so easy; aside from the convenience it offers, prospective buyers can choose from a wide array of items that are affordable as well.
