Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
 
McGonagall: There will be books written about Harry --- every child in our world will know his name.
ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore: Famous before he can walk and talk! Famous for something he won't even remember.

ΩΩΩΩΩ
Mr. Ollivander: Curious... very curious...
Harry: Sorry, but what's curious?
Mr. Ollivander: I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. It so happens that the phoenix whose tailfeather resides in your wand gave another feather... just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar.
Harry: And who owned that wand?
Mr. Ollivander: We do not speak his name! The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It's not always clear why. But I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great.

ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore: It does not do to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live.

ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore:  Harry, do you know why Professor Quirrell couldn't bear to have you touch him?
[Harry shakes his head]
Dumbledore:   It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act leaves a mark.
[Harry reaches up to touch his scar]
Dumbledore:  No, no. This kind of mark cannot be seen. It lives in your very skin.
Harry: What is it?
Dumbledore: Love, Harry. Love.

ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore:  To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. 

ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore:  The truth --- it is beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.
ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore:  To the well-organized mind, Death is but the next great adventure.
ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore: Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.
ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore:  It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.
ΩΩΩΩΩ

Dumbledore:  Only a person who wanted to find the Stone - find it, but not use it - would be able to get it. That is one of my more brilliant ideas. And between you and me, that is saying something. 
ΩΩΩΩΩ

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
 
Dumbledore: It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
ΩΩΩΩΩ
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Funny, the damage a silly little book can do, especially in the hands of a silly little girl.
ΩΩΩΩΩ
Gilderoy Lockhart: Fame is a fickle friend Harry. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that.
ΩΩΩΩΩ
Dumbledore:  I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me... Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.

6 Is my UnlUcky nUmbEr

I've been crying my eyes out since this morning... I woke up early and decided to check my IELTS result. I'm confident that I would make it this time... although I'm really a little unsure on my Listening Exam. But I tried to compute and I know I would get a 7. And I did! My scores were all good except for the wrting. I got only 6 and I'm really frustrated! I know I could have gotten a 7.5.




A 6!!! I really can't believe it! I know I did better than my first exam. I don't know how the person who checked my work graded it. Is he/she expects a writer out of me?! I don't know what I should do now. The next exam will be on the 17th of September but I'm not sure if I still want to do this. Part of me wanted to quit. I don't know if I can still handle the pressure. My fear is that I would fail it again because of just one area, just like what happened now. I'm so sure I nailed it unlike on the first one. And I know when I give my best into something and I gave my best on this one. Unfortunately, my best is a flat 6.

I don't like this feeling of frustration and failure. And I just can't quit! I've troubled so many people for gathering all my requirements... documents that I cannot submit because I cannot pass the first step! I know tomorrow I will still be heading to UOWD to register for the next available exam but right now I would just want to stay here in my bed and feel rotten about my test result.

Damn I hate that examiner/checker!!!
