The 42nd Floor on a Distant Shore
Posted by Keng at 6:56 pm; 30 Comments
First off, am now hosted by the most awesomesauce Alex, yay, go give him some love and “You’re awesome!” comments, yes? :)
I finished Deathly Hallows last night. Me and two of my brothers had a reading contest (yeah, we got three copies :P), and I beat them (HA!), even if it meant only two hours of sleep for me (I started reading around 5am when they were both asleep, lol). It’s funny how me and Kuya Erik had conversations of “What page are you on?” “*insert my page number here*” “You biiiitch” since I was well ahead of them (him especially) by the time they woke up. XD Anyways, I’ll post my thoughts later on at eljay because we all know that’s the only place to discuss such spoilery things, really (lj cuts and threaded comments are teh sex).
It’s Kojo’s birthday today and he turns five. <3
We went to his party yesterday, and it was amusing how almost every gift people gave him was Spider-Man-related, including ours. It also helped that he was fully decked in Spider-Man gear and he had a Spider-Man vs Doc Ock birthday cake. XD They had a watergun fight afterwards, and I would’ve joined if I wasn’t so sleep-deprived, meh.
A couple of days ago, me and my kuya’s immaculately clean closet decided it was a hate-on-Keng!!! day. The thing were you put hangers in gave way under all the crap I put on top the last time I cleaned it, so now it’s a big mess inside. My kuya’s side of the closet was the victim (but I have to clean it since he doesn’t do chores *rolls eyes*, soooo…), and when I went in to retrieve all his clothes, I stepped on a shard of hard plastic that had broken off the support, so I ended up smearing blood all over the carpet. I hadn’t even noticed my foot was bleeding until my youngest brother asked me how much it hurt. :/
I wonder where my Byakuya plushie is, it’s been a week. :(

Kids are soo cute! Especially when they have a certain theme for their birthday.
Hahaha funny how you and your brothers race. I’m still halfway, I stopped just to bloghop and comment :) I can’t wait to finish the book. :)

I finished the Harry Potter book as well. It was really awesome, but it was sad when it ended. :( It took me a pretty short amount of time to finish — around three hours. I read the first two chapters right after I came home from the Borders midnight premiere party, and I fell asleep reading it, so my face hurt in the morning. =( My brother and I bought separate copies though. He thought i was ’selfish’ for not letting him read my copy… Hey, I bought it with my own money, so I deserve to read it first. Happy birthday to Kojo. I predict he’s going to be a lady killer when he grows up. :)

I haven’t even bought the new book yet. I’m a little scared to see what happens though. I heard Ron dies. I want to see the movie; I think my parents and I are going to watch it soon.
That pose is so cute. My little cousin is obsessed with Superman. Ah, the joys of boyhood.
Mihoriel said on Jul 23, 2007 at 4:51 pm:
Cute picture of your cousin. it’ definitely the pose. I’m still reading the HP7 book & we’ll discuss it once I finish it, lol. *hugs*
connie said on Jul 23, 2007 at 5:06 pm:
aww, that’s a cute cute kid. :) hope he had lots of cake! i would love to eat spiderman, especially if he’s iced.
i’m sorry about your little injury - have you invested in band aids? :D
Lana said on Jul 24, 2007 at 2:23 am:
LOLOL go you! That conversation sounds simular to the one I have when we bet. “Soooo how far along are you? -insert statistic- You skank/hoe/bitch/choice of curse word”
lmao. XD BTW thank you for the layout comment =] I appreciate it.
Angela said on Jul 24, 2007 at 10:52 am:
Wow, you’re already done! I don’t expect to read it until I finish the 6th one for the first time, haha.
Is that your little cousin?? Too adorable! I love how little kids pick a superhero (or Barbie) and are OBSESSED
Uritza said on Jul 24, 2007 at 1:17 pm:
awe, PRETTY BABY. lawl, he’s wearing Spider-Man colors.
Haha.
Congrats on finishing the book (:
I finally got my copy yesterday and I’m on page 300.
Kiera said on Jul 24, 2007 at 1:26 pm:
I think she just bleached the flower pattern and then colored the petals with blue. not sure though she’s a creative bugger!
I’m just now getting into the local music scene myself. it’s worth it though! it’s a fun home-town feeling =].
I did! haha I hate that kid!
Shelly said on Jul 24, 2007 at 3:20 pm:
Heck yes, harry potter! Haha, that’s crazy about the racing though…we only bought one copy, but that’s only because my older sister is still busy rereading the 5th book. I got caught up first so I could read it first. ^^ I personally thought the ending was very cheesy, but then again, that’s only because I’ve seen too many chinese dramas in which they end in the exact same “something years later” fashion. =P I thought the whole Snape thing was crazy good though. =P
And omg that’s such a cute picture. XD Spider-man is still in fashion with the little ones I see…oh wait, nvm, back in the 90’s it used to be power rangers and stuff huh? I can’t even tell anymore, but that must be one happy 5-year old!
Kristine said on Jul 24, 2007 at 4:47 pm:
LOL!! KOJO looks like my 4 year old cousin named Kyle.. aw.. so cute! And they both love Spiderman!
I have not purchased HP7, I must be the only one who HASN’T.. And I’m actually miserable because there’s so many spoiler sites..
You’re so LUCKY to finally finish the series.. !! I think I’d probably cry once I’m through with the novel. :-)
marco said on Jul 24, 2007 at 5:50 pm:

i’m not too sure if it went “well”, but pass its probably definite.
haha
ayiene said on Jul 24, 2007 at 11:14 pm:

cheri said on Jul 25, 2007 at 12:24 am:

Maggie said on Jul 25, 2007 at 2:28 am:

Lucia said on Jul 25, 2007 at 2:46 am:
Aww, he is so cute ^^ Happy 5th Bday to hiim! Spiderman rocks =] Aah, everyone’s talking about Deathly Hallows! I would do a reading contest but my sister can’t read Harry Potter =3
Amber said on Jul 25, 2007 at 5:40 am:
In my house I have to read the book first, then my mother reads it. We bought the book at Midnight and I read it through the night; I was absolutely exhausted for days afterwards! After I’d read it there was this feeling of disappointment; there’s still so much that we don’t know. I’m re-reading it now though and I can appreciate what a wonderful book it is. It’s sad though - it feels like an era has come to an end. The end!
Happy Birthday to Kojo. :)
regina said on Jul 25, 2007 at 8:34 am:
heyy! happy birthday to Kojo!!! he looks adorable in that picture!
i haven’t read the deathy hallows book yet, but I know the ending…and i don’t like it.
lol. when my friend told me what happened i was like “…. no. she. didn’t.”, i was kinda surprised that J.K. Rowling would write that. but whatever, i’ll read it later.
and hope your foots better now!
Qis said on Jul 25, 2007 at 12:08 pm:
Happy birthday Kojo!! Omg he’s so cute. When you said that his pressies are all Spiderman-related, and that he was decked in a Spidey suit, and with Spidey birthday cake, I was instantly reminded by my 7-year old brother. He’s a Spiderman freak also, and his birthday party was almost everything Spiderman too! Ahhh, talking about him is making me miss him :(
lilee said on Jul 25, 2007 at 1:31 pm:
ahhh lol you had a reading contest with your brothers?
i finished on saturday day also, wasnt it great?
i thought the epilogue was a bit bad though
Tara said on Jul 25, 2007 at 4:14 pm:
A reading contest? haha
I received my book Friday @ Midnight
& finished it Sunday morning. :)
I love how everyone is blogging about Harry Potter !
But, it’s okay, because HP IS AMAZING
Audrey said on Jul 25, 2007 at 5:00 pm:
Haha, yay for Harry Potter reading.
kay said on Jul 25, 2007 at 8:15 pm:

2 hours of sleep? Yep i’ve done that before *laughs* I got this really good book the day before and I (for some unknown reason) cannot. CANNOT. read good in broad daylight, I need a room. Closed door. Lights off. And a lamp and pillows and a bed.
Yes reading in bed. I read till 6 in the morning >__<
Evan said on Jul 25, 2007 at 10:02 pm:

lk said on Jul 26, 2007 at 1:03 am:
Haha, Kojo looks cute. Five years old and he already is pimpin in his photos! My goodness, I still had my head buried in my barbies. That is funny that you and your brothers were having a reading contest. I would have done the same thing by waking up earlier and getting a head start :)
