"But I knew too where Voldemort was weak. And so I made my decision. You would be protected by an ancient magic of which he knows, which he despises, and which he has always, therefore, underestimated – to his cost. I am speaking, of course, of the fact that your mother died to save you. She gave you a lingering protection he never expected, a protection that flows in your veins to this day (...)"
-- Dumbledore to Harry
In times of disappointments and frustrations, I try to think of happy thoughts. Whenever I am down, I always call my mom, which sometimes makes me realize that I am being unfair to her. After all of these storms, I know a rainbow will spring and show its glory even just for a minute; yet I know that despite that short span of time, it will never fail to make me smile.

Since Tuesday, my life has already been full of quite saddening experiences, which undoubtedly left me in frustrations, disappointments and a heavy heart. I really would have wanted to vent it all out last night through blogging but decided that I better rest instead. So, I grabbed my HP5 book and read until I fell asleep. Reading never fails to give me comfort. It adapts to the way that I am feeling. I was glad that while reading the fifth book of the HP series, and listening to a heartfelt playlist of mellow songs, the excerpt above popped out and somehow made me shed tears. I was grateful because it made my heart feel lighter.
So, upon waking up this morning, I realized that there really is no point in being down and depressed [I would just attract bad vibes]. I got up and sang my heart out to KP's Firework ... and of course, I smiled :)
