Magic Works! The Magic thought by JK Rowling

Hogwarts Philippines did another Magic Work entitled Christmas in November with the kids of Hospicio de San Jose. I guess this is one of the great things J.K. Rowling was able to convey from her Harry Potter books. Magic through Charity!

Though it is late, I would like to share with you the info graph made for this event courtesy of Prefect Abby of Slytherin.

 

Here’s a brief information about Hospicio de San Jose, it is a home for homeless babies, kids, adults, and elder people. Everyone in this institution do live a normal life, they go to school, they are fed, they are treated when wounded, just like how you are being treated in your own home. People who want to adopt may go here. Swear! All kids in here are cute.

For more info about Hospicio de San Jose, you may visit their website.

Okay, to share with you my experience in doing magic at Hospicio, I’ll give you the most detailed idea I could write of what happened as we do the magic.

We arrived at Hospicio before 9AM to start decorating the room (btw, you can see the invitation we had to gather volunteers for this reason). We put up a Christmas tree, set garlands on windows, wrap more gifts, set-up a play area, and warm ourselves up to prepare for those energetic kiddos.

Volunteers are either taking care of a baby or assisting those who are taking care of a baby either of those are tiring yet fun. We feed them, play with them, and of course, had a picture taking with them. The fun didn’t stop with those babies.

After those babies, we took care of kids. There were the ones who played in the play area we set-up. By the way, thank you to our generous sponsors. Without them, this won’t be made possible. These kids are sort of everything, they have this cute little drummer boy who cried after his sticks where grabbed by other kids, a reader who reads in the corner, a kid who does not accept gift, a kid who peeks under the skirt of the girl, and a lot more kids you could think of.

Since we were only given up to 12noon, we send them already to their rooms. It’s nap time! Nap time means lunch for us. It’s fun to see everyone looks tired with a smile on their faces. Fun… Fulfilling… Thankful… You could really have a bag of emotions after that.

For those who wants to join us as we celebrate our fandom through magic and other great wizard activities, you may visit our Facebook Page or join our Facebook Group or directly join at pinoyharrypotter.org and get sorted.

Before I end this, I would like to share with you a video of another Magic made by wizards in Brazil.

Movie Previews for My PHP FACine Assignments Summary

Okay, this would just be a summary of the this I wrote for my assignment in Pinoy Harry Potter/ Hogwarts Philippines' FACine class.

Our assignments must be posted in Wordpress. But as you notice, I'm using blogger. Therefore, I have to create an account in wordpress.

The first assignment I did for the class was about "The last film you saw". For this assignment, I did a review for This Guys in Love with You Pare.

If you want to read my entire review for this film, please go here.

The next assignment was entitled "Hate Much?" This is a follow-up question in our introduction saying "a film that should cease existence from this planet". I actually don't hate the movie/s I indicated as my answer. But I'm begging the producer of this film to please stop producing one every year.

And by the way, I am referring to Shake, Rattle, & Roll Horror Film Series.

As what I've said to my to my entry, "when time come that the entire MMFF film entries are horror films, I would really blame the entire thing to Shake, Rattle, & Roll." For the whole review, your may refer here.

For the recent assignment I did, it was about "The Filipino in Me". The concept of this assignment is to write down 5 movies you wanted to see. Actually, the five movies I have in mind was Bata, Bata, Pa'no ka Ginawa, Magnifico, Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Olivero, Ded na si Lolo, and Bwakaw. But because we cannot repeat a movie as an answer, I ended up having Ligo na U, Lapit na Me, instead of Bwakaw.

Actually, I enjoyed this assignment, I found 3 out of 5 links in youtube for the full length video of the films. To share them with you, here they are:

Magnifico

Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros
Please refer to the title of the movie for the link. I can't post the video properly.

Ligo na U, Lapit na Me
Please refer to the title of the movie for the link. I can't post the video properly. The quality of the video is quite poor.

And by the way, for those who are interested in joining our group, here are the links for your reference.
