So this time next week I will be on a plane on my way to a watery land. I hear that in Chittagong where my brother in law lives, half the ground floor is flooded. Even Dhaka, which isn't so coastal is getting under inches of water. Or so I hear. I haven't bothered checking this. Its just the news that comes through on the phone and people do tend to exaggerate a little so who knows what the exact situation is. While I am determined to live as 'normally' and happily as possible for the 4 weeks I'm there, I'm beginning to think this could be harder than usual. Flooding is problematic.
Meanwhile, the only thing I've packed is my make up bag! Everything else is a lot more complicated than choosing which eyeliner I'll be wearing the most. There are these weird regulations now or should I say, safety measures which I have to look up soon so I know what I can definitely take.
On the other hand, there's something refreshing about this trip. Its like a trip to a charity shop during spring cleaning. You take along things you don't need to remove clutter from the house and sometimes come back with some 'new and interesting' things you just happened to stumble across. Ok, forget the new stuff. I just want to spring clean. Even though its summer.
Time has suddenly slowed down though. I think its because I'm not actually glued to my laptop so much which means the internet isn't stealing so much of my time. I'm not doing anything particularly amazing with this time on my hands but I am enjoying the relaxed mood of the house for a few days. Sometimes I feel like being with my family is like being in a parallel world and sometimes, its a good thing!

Home sweet home.

Home ain't so sweet. Nobody seems... happy. Not even me. Well I was till I started sneezing and stuff. Which basically means an hour.
The weather is gloomy, the house is cold, I'm tired. I have no motivation. One could say that I have become myself again. I wish I could take a certain someone's advice and 'Go back to manchester' cos no one there at least has told me to 'go back to sunderland'. What a way to feel welcome eh?
Whatver happened to 'golden silences'? What happened to 'If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all'? Everybody has forgotten I think that actions speak louder than words and SOMETIMES words are just an unecessary accessory. Not intended to be a constant companion.
I think when you're a child you accept the world for what it is. But then you grow up and you meet so many contradictions to what you thought the world was that its just baffling. Unfair even. I'm not entirely sure what word I'm looking for. Or if there even is a perfect word.
At times I think I'll be happy to just let the world know what I'm thinking. Then again, I don't always want to hear what the world has to say back. I want to go to happy world. I'm appreciating the fact that heaven is a place without all this ... ... ... darkness?
I know that sounded like a strange thing to say but I remember thinking once upon a long time ago., when there were no wrinkles upon my young brow, about heaven. And I couldn't help but have that awful picture of boringness. Maybe not exactly the whole cloud thing with weirdos playing harps but that same sort of wishy washy passiveness. I remember, perhaps blasphemously, wondering what it was that was so great about heaven. Or what it was that made heaven special and different. I think it was curiousity though, not blaspheming. I accept that I will never understand the magnificence and wonderment of heaven but as an adult I think I see the ugliness of the world more. So even if I can't comprehend the beauty of heaven, I can appreciate the lack of ugliness.
Cute isn't it, how the world looks to us when we are children. I knew even then that I was happy. I just didn't know I had such a gift.
I know that some children, if not all of them, wonder why adults are the way they are. Why 'grown ups' are so miserable compared to themselves. They're given explanations in the form of words like stress and responsiblity which don't really mean much. I suppose grown ups miss out the bit about things going from black and white to big blank grey canvas. A world where things are not so soild. Your mother and father are not perfect people who've got everything sorted. You don't always know who your best friend is and you defintely can't be sure of who all of your friends are. People can willfully misunderstand you or constantly harbour the delusion that you misunderstand them even when you don't! You have the oppurtunity to finally make an impact on the world and you can be woefully aware of how little you are doing or just push it all to back of your mind. Its not easy to convey all those feelings to a child. No wonder they just leave it as 'Enjoy your childhood. Its the best time of your life. Everything is easy.' and the all time favourite, 'you'll understand when you're older'.
I'm sure at the back of my mind, as a child, I thought that by the time I was grown up I would be the person I wanted to be. It didn't cross my mind that I might not know who I want to be. Being a grown up was defined as the time I reached my maximum height. I'm hoping for a growth spurt, mostly metaphorically, because I feel I have a lot of growing left to do... I'm still lazy about tidying my bed!!

Beautiful!
Lord forgive me for complaining about weather. The last 2 days have been beautiful!! I appreciate it. I get mopey when the weather is miserable.
Went for my little sponsored walk today. I don't mean the walk was little, it took a little over an hour to get to Fletcher Moss Gardens but it was worth it!! Just, mashallah subhanallah and alhamdulillah if you get me. Even saw a pair of turtles swimming around in a pond. Was very cute! Especially when one peeped its ickle head up out of the water :D Also met a stripey cat. Amazing looks but a little strange, had a tendency to head-butt the hand that was about to pet it. Slightly on the scary side but it didn't bother me. I'd take it home if I could. I WANT A KITTEN!! But I'm not allowed. God, I feel 5 years old when I put it like that but its like that and thats the way it is!
Made a big chocolate cake yesterday. Well spent 3 hours on it yesterday and about another half hour or so today. Don't make fun, it was a layered cake and turned out pretty neat. Till it was transferred into containers for storage purposes that is. :( Its sad when things like that happen. Like watching a strong adult turn into a frail elderly person...
Oooh, and I found out where to find proper 'english' clothes in Bangladesh! Dhaka of course. One place called Bongo bazaar and the other one is near the uni apparently so I guess I'll have to get my uncle to investigate! But this sounds like potential fun. I didn't buy much in terms of clothes this year so cheapo clothes in bangladesh sounds very very appealing. *drools* May have to hide them from the elder sister though. Shopping in the desh is like a battle: out in the heat, thumpy bumpy rickshaw ride, nearly get run over whilst trying to cross the road, dodging open drains deviously scattered about hither and thither. Thats all just a warm up before reaching the 'market'. Then there's raking through the faecal matter to get to the good stuff and pretending you don't like it all that much so you have an advantage in the haggling war! And I want to keep my war booty thank you very much! :) Charming? Yes I know I am.

HP7: thoeries and predictions
Some of the predictions I've been reading about HP7 are just making my blood boil!! I swear some of these people just haven't read the books properly, some have never learned to analyse stories / characters / plotlines in their English lessons. I wrote a bunch of stuff on a facebook group and was told to keep it more concise if I expected reply. Lol. Fair enough. But I don't have to be concise here. This is my spot! But I've been nice and broken it down with little numbers and headings as well as paragraphs :)
THEORY NO.1 = HARRY IS A HORCRUX
Not my theory. For sure. There's one dude out there who thinks that Voldy purposely made Harry a horcrux. The reason being that Harry would have to kill himself to get rid of Voldy. Excuse me? Voldy went to Godric's Hollow to KILL Harry. He wasn't expecting Harry to miraculously survive and then go after Voldy. Moreover, Voldy thought the horcrux thing was a secret. Even his inner ring of Death Eaters like Malfoy didn't know about it. He wouldn't expect Dumbledore to know. He wouldn't expect Harry to have been told by Dumblydore!
Other things are, wouldn't Voldy have more control over Harry? Like he does with Nagini. If Voldy couldn't touch Harry because of Harry's 'pure' and whole soul, how could a piece of Voldy's twisted soul reside in him? And if it did reside in Harry, surely it wouldn't be a problem for Voldy to touch Harry and wouldn't be painful to possess him. This is a piece of soul we're talking about!
THEORY NO.2 = Regulus Black / Locket horcrux.
Firstly, Regulus Black IS dead I reckon. Some people are adamant he's alive. If he wasn't dead, Harry shouldn't have inherited Grimmauld Place or Kreacher. Simple.
Secondly, I am also curious about the person who took the original and real locket horcrux. There IS a lot of evidence to suggest that RAB was Regulus Black so I'm happyish to accept that one but there are a lot of BUTS.
1) How the hell did he manage on his own when even Dumbledore needed Harry?
2) And why the hell would that potion even be there? Shouldn't RAB have had to drink it up to get the locket?
3) Does it refill by itself? Perhaps he refilled it himself but how does a weakened wizard replace the potion? How does he even know what it is? Which leads me on to,
4) Was that the potion or defense which originally protected the locket? Or was it placed there by RAB... to weaken Voldemort when he went to 'visit' his horcrux?
With regards to the heavy locket no one could open in Grimmauld Place mentioned in book 5, hmmm... Could be it. It would support the RAB = Regulus Black theory. Would mean the slytherin symbol wasn't all that obvious though or it should have been spotted earlier.
On the other hand, it saves Harry a lot of time looking for it in the 7th book if he just remembers it. If Dung hasn't nicked off with it. But I doubt he would. I mean, the goblets and stuff, he had his eye on them from ages back. Its even better for Harry if the horcrux has really been destroyed and the locket is, just a locket. He's got other horcruxes to be looking for, and destroying. Scary considering what happened to Dumbledore's hand with the ring. And Dumbledore needed Snape's help after that for the damage inflicted on his hand.
THOERY NO.3 = SNAPE: GOOD OR BAD?
I believe that he is going to do something really noble which perhaps does save Harry's life in HP7 while still detesting Harry and being mean and cold to him of course. I hope its obvious why I think Snape is still on the good side.
My thoughts are that Snape will die at the hands of someone from the Order or whilst protecting Harry in some way. Then Harry will discover that Snape was on the good side all along and will have to suffer the guilt of incriminating Snape to the whole world. Every book needs tragedy and this will be tragic for Harry. He would never want that. I mean, he even manages to feel sorry for Malfoy, when Malfoy shows a less detestable side, who Harry hates. Rowling also stated that there would be 2 deaths of major characters I think. I really hope its not Harry. While he does get a bit arrogant with his whole 'I know I'm right about Malfoy. Dumbledore was wrong about Snape and I know better.' he's still the good guy. Even if he thinks that being right about one thing means he's right about the another.
THEORY NO.4 = SNAPE LOVED LILY
LOL!! Now I feel like I may have thought of this once but didn't consider it too seriously. But I just read it a little while ago. Someone else seems to think so. And in a way, perhaps it could be given some consideration now. Its a possible explanation for why Snape returned to the 'good' side. While he hated James, perhaps he remembered that Lily stuck up for him and he never wanted her to die. Thats what he regretted so deeply. I also remember him saying to Harry something scathing about 'fools who proudly wear their hearts on their sleeves' being easy targets. So perhaps we're to understand he does have a heart and did harbour tender feelings for Lily but he isn't the type to wear his heart on his sleeve. Lol. Snape in love... this is cracking me up!
THEORY NO.5 = HAGRID IS HARRY'S REAL FATHER
Yes I am mentioning this one for laughs. If Hagrid is Harry's real father, does that make Harry a test tube baby?? Do they do that kind of stuff in the wizarding world? Lol. But wait, it all makes sense! James was like, Hagrid's cousin! Thats why Harry is scrawny and the spitting image of James because they're still related. Duh!
*rolls eyes* did I mention that some people are just deluded and clearly HAVEN'T read the books?
THEORY NO. 6 = THE 'UNLOVED' DIE
I have a theory. Only people who are 'single' die. I hope I'm right. I spotted a pattern too. People strongly associated with the book titles are likely to die. Watch the pattern...
1) Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone - The two makers of the stone die. Nicholas Flamel and eventually Dumbledore who also worked with Flamel if I remember correctly. Admittedly, so Flamel's wife also dies but she dies WITH her husband. Dumbledore had no wife. Quirrel = single guy, very connected with the title, dies.
2) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - The dude who opened the chamber of secrets 'Tom Riddle' dies. Or at least the diary, which represents the young voldemort and holds a piece of his 'young' soul is destroyed.
3) Prisoner of Azkaban - Sirius Black. Good looking guy, not unsociable but no partner / wife. Dies.
4) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - The guy who sets up the Goblet, Barty Crouch, dies. Has his soul sucked out by dementors. Close enough!
5) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Now this one, either vague or obvious. Cos well if you're in the Order you have a pretty big chance of ending up dead. And wasn't it dumbledore who originally set up the Order? Dumbledore = single, DIES. Made me cry.
6) Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - Half Blood Prince = Snape. Also single, though less surprisingly. I think he's going to die. Foul as he is to Harry as a teacher, he's still protected Harry a lot. I'm gonna feel bad if he dies. And angry at Harry.
So the 2 major characters could just be Voldy and Snape who die. I hope so. I mean Harry is mentioned in every book title. Don't think I haven't noticed. Lol. But he has a future with Ginny! Ron and Hermione are clearly a couple. I was worried about Hagrid but I remembered he sort of has Olympe and Lupin maybe has Tonks. I'm still a little worried about those 2 because the author likes to kill off Harry's guardian type figures but I suppose they're not as close to Harry as Dumbledore or Sirius.
Finally, I think Wormtail will have some kind of part in the last book because of what Dumbledore says about him being in Harry's debt. The debt has to be payed off right?
Now that I've said what I think, do you think I'm deluded? Hehehe.
THEORY NO.1 = HARRY IS A HORCRUX
Not my theory. For sure. There's one dude out there who thinks that Voldy purposely made Harry a horcrux. The reason being that Harry would have to kill himself to get rid of Voldy. Excuse me?

A little bit sketchy...
Yesterday was a day for little surprises. (Don't get your hopes up, its not all that exciting.)
There was the question in the exam paper that I could have gotten full marks on if only I hadn't left my calculator in my bag. But still, I was surprised that such a question was on the exam paper.
It was a beautiful morning. Perfect sunshine. Blue sky scattered with wisps of cloud. So out I went in my little skirt, my sandals, glanced at my brolly and thought 'pah! why would I need that?' and set off. Then of course it started chucking it down around midday. Woo!
When I got home, I was shattered! Fell asleep for a good 3 hours and what did I see when I woke up? A sketch of myself on top the chest of draws!! Now if it weren't for the fact that I knew Jughead was up sketching that the night before instead of revising, this would have been a shock rather than a surprise! As she pointed out, evil Angel left a sketch of Buffy in her room/house to freak her out. I wasn't freaked out but being rather sleepy at this point, I did wonder for just a moment if I might find her lurking about in some corner of my room... no such luck! I do have to make a point of how impressed I was with the sketch. Its amazing! The eyes were spot on, the nose was quite flattering and the ears were the most impressive to me cos I really can't sketch ears. Lol. Hidden talent I tell you! I'd love to upload it onto the blog but its a non-hijabi sketch! :p
Now off I go to learn all about drugs! :D
