Death Eaters And Volturri’s : How Similar Or Identical Are They?
Two villlains from two different novels but with almost the same concept… How similar are Death Eaters and The Volturri to each other? Let’s take a look at them
Death Eaters (From JK Rowling’s Harry Potter)
In the Harry Potter movie, Voldemort leads a group of followers collectively known as: Death Eaters. Their goal? To rid the world of Muggleborns – they perceive of these people as unworthy to be alllowed entry or be given education at Hogwarts.
They kill Muggleborns and other people they perceive as threat or if not that, they perform the Unforgivable Curse – Crucio to name one of them. Failure , to Voldemort , is not an option.
(Source: “15 Similarities Between Twilight And Harry Potter We Never Noticed Before” by Stephanie Harper; https://www.thethings.com/twilight-and-harry-potter-similarities/)
Volturri (from Stephenie Meyers' Twilight)
In Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight , we have the Volturri as our scary villain here. What makes them scary? They work together and are ruthless towards humans, werewolves, and even newborn vampires they consider as threat.
Almost similar to the Death Eaters in the Harry Potter movie, the Volturri’s have some rules that have to be observed or obeyed – The Cullens (comprised of Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper and Edward) aren’t allowed near the Quileute (a pack of werewolves) territory. Revealing their existence to humankind is also a no-no (which the Cullens didn’t follow or cared about following when they welcomed Bella into their lives).
The Volturri simply comprises of : Aro, Caius, Marcus, Sulpicia and Athenodora. Their purpose? To keep vampires hidden from the human world, mostly for their safety. But while their intentions and purpose is right, their methods weren’t as good as you thought them to be. Other rules that have to be followed were that: hunting must be inconspicuous, creating imortal children is a taboo or another big NO, vampires are not allowed to deal with werewolves , false witnesses are punished by death and so much more. And have you noticed? Jane , one of the Volturri, can perform a nonverbal Cruciatus Curse on anyone.
Just like the Death Eaters, the Volturri’s aren’t possibly the best leaders as they won’t hesitate killing humans, werewolves or even someone of their own kind.

Basilisk: Mythical Or Real?
If you have been or have watched the movie: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, you may have seen this creature in the later part. But is the basilisk snake real or just a mythical creature?
Sometimes referred to as the Cockatrice, the basilisk is known to be a mythical creature (reptilian) and reputed to be the king of serpents. It’s also considered to be one of the most feared of all mythological beasts as it can kill its prey through a single glance. This creature bears similarity to the Gorgons of Greek mythology. (Source: “Basilisk” from New World Encyclopedia; https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Basilisk)
The basilisk, just like the Gorgons (three vicious female mythical creatures), can also possess the ability to turn a person into stone by looking at them (as also seen in the Harry Potter movie where students are petrified by this creature). People speculate that basilisk is being originated from a cobra as it can kill from a distance. (Source: “Gorgon” from New World Encyclopedia; https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Gorgon)
A basilisk is a reptile-chicken hybrid creature (hence the term “cockatrice”) and a poisonous snake at the same time. (Source: “Basilisk or Cockatrice? The Mysterious King of Serpents” from PBS; https://www.pbs.org/video/basilisk-or-cockatrice-the-mysterious-king-of-serpents-rqozd1/) . They are actually born from an egg laid by a rooster.
The basilisk got its name from the Greek word “basilikos” which translates to “kinglet” which is a kind of serpent. It can be described as either of the three: a huge lizard, a giant snake (again as seen in the Harry Potter movie) and as a hybrid of rooster and reptile. Legend says that this creature can be killed by hearing a rooster’s crow (mentioned in the Harry Potter movie where Harry and Ron finds a scrap of paper in Hermione’s hand and pulls it, revealing what she just read about the basilisk and Ginny , being possessed by Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort to kill the roosters by strangling them) or staring at itself in the mirror (take note that the basilisk kills its prey through its glance).
Trivia: The natural enemy of a basilisk is a weasel who’s immune to its deadly gaze and can survive its venom.
In real life, basilisks exist as merely a lizard instead of a deadly giant snake.

Death Eaters: Real Or Just Fictional?
If you’ve watched all the Harry Potter movies, you might probably be familiar with Death Eaters
Death Eaters, as seen in the movies, are collectively known to be passionate followers of Voldemort (aka You Know Who or He Who Must Not Be Named and they consist of wizards and witches who were radical pureblood supremacists practicing Dark Arts. These followers are described to often wearing black hoods and masks with snake-like slits to cover their faces and sporting a Dark Mark burned on their left forearm, which they use to summon Voldemort. (Source: “Death Eaters” from Harry Potter Wiki Fandom; https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Death_Eaters)
Aside from the black robes and masks, Death Eaters are also seen to be wearing tall , pointed hats which are approximately half the length of the wearer’s height. (Source: “Death Eaters” from Villains Wiki; https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Death_Eaters). They are often spies who keep their loyalty to Voldemort as a secret as many of them are involved in British wizarding politics and various bureaucratic organizations.
Some or few of the notable Death Eaters are namely: Bellatrix Lestrange, Barty Crouch Jr, Peter Pettigrew, Corban Yaxley, Alecto and Amycus Carrow… and a few more to name such as Lucius Malfoy and his son Draco (in the 6th movie).
Are there also Death Eaters in real life? Or are they just mere ficitional characters?
Now, as to whether there are really Death Eaters in non magical world or in real life, Death Eaters can be based on any number of racists, bigoted or supremacy groups. In terms of history, Voldemort and his supporters can be likened to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis where a few similarities include oppression of those whom they believe don’t fit to their ideals (Voldemort = oppression of Muggle borns/Muggles as Hitler: oppression of Jews, gypsies, disabled people, etc), the lists and registration of Jewish people compared to lists and registration of Muggle borns/Muggles.
You can find more detailed similarities of Death Eaters and KKK (Ku Klux Klan) here – https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-KKK-so-much-like-Death-Eaters

A Sad Letter To My Girlfriend
Laura baby,
Words aren’t enough to express the pain I felt when you suddenly left me without notice.
You chose to hurt the person who only wanted to protect you from people trying to steal you…. you chose to hurt the person who love you and stayed by your side. You failed to see those people as a threat to our relationship the way I see them. I chose to still want to get married to you and be there with you in Australia but you chose to break my heart instead by blocking me on Twitter and leaving me on all your IG rp accounts when you promised youll stay.
I just hope that one day you’ll realize how you’ve hurt me badly… maybe that time will come when im really gone here.  the sooner the better .. so youll feel the pain of losing someone who really loved you and whom you just kept taking for granted lately. …You’ll realize you shouldnt have blocked me on FB and Twitter and shouldnt have left me on all your IG rp accounts.Â
You chose to hurt the person who love you and chose to have you over her family.. I chose you over them but what did you do instead? You took me for granted.. You chose to be with the people who are being a huge threat to your relationship with her instead. It’s like you really want me gone already and lose me for their sake.. You chose to break my heart to pieces the moment you blocked me on FB and Twitter when the thing I only wanted was to protect you from others. You chose to be ungrateful for all the things I’ve done for you on my Draco accounts . I helped your Marcus account get over that other Draco account who cheated on you. What did you give back in return? Your lack of gratitude and time for me.Â
It’s you here who chose to throw away our 2 years of relationship, not me After all the help I gave you to get over that other Draco account who hurt your Marcus account and forget about him, this is what I get back from you in return. Who was it that stayed by your side when you got your heart broken? Who was it that was with you when you lost Poppy? Wasn’t it me? How could you choose to be with other people instead of me then? How could you choose to block me on FB and Twitter when you said you’ll get rid of those people who were trying to steal you? You even said on your Marcus account that you will not let them try stealing you away from me? So much for choosing you over my family and for wanting to be there with you right where you are. You even promised your IG rp accounts won’t leave mine as long as I keep those , especially my Draco account. But it turns out you’ll be the first one breaking your own promises. I thought you understood my reasons well why I hate it when you talk to other people, why I get too jealous and possessive. That is because I see them as a threat and expected that youll see them the same way.Â
Didnt you even tell me that your Marcus account understands how my Draco account feels? Especially when you see a Harry account being all over him? Why is then that you are letting other people steal you? You even said you’ll do anything I want you to do for me to keep fighting to stay alive. But now you’re giving me reasons to give up fighting against my illness. How could you?
Did you remember just 3 years ago, you asked me on my Draco account if we could try being in a relationship as well in real life? And I said yes. Because I wanted as well for us to have a serious relationship .. not just in our rp accounts but in real life as well. I never wanted to be in a serious relationship with anyone else just you. But now you threw it away. I was even planning to propose to you.. but then you blocked me on FB. and even on Twitter.Â
You just wasted everything.. you all threw away everything we had . it’s you here who wasted everything we had.. not me.. it’s you guys as well who gave up on this relationship and on me.. .. it was you who failed to fight for this relationship not me. You chose to give up on our relationship , baby. you chose to give me up. You chose to hurt me and leave me on all my IG rp accounts..
I thought loving a person comes with accepting both his/her bests and worsts? … . why did you leave me then when you saw me at my worst? you expect me to keep my promise here.. and I did the best I could to keep that.. that Ill change for the better .. but it turns out you’re the first one here to break your own promise.Â

Dealing With A Heartbreak….
Nothing can be far worse than dealing with breakups without closures. You don’t know what it was you have said or done that made that person leave you without even any notice and worst of it all? He or she starts blocking you on all social media accounts.
It hurts a lot when someone decides to just leave you for another person without having any closure at all. That person just suddenly disappears. That person even promised beforehand that he or she will stay no matter what happens.
That happened between my and my Australian girlfriend just a few days ago. I dont know what it was that I have said and done that made her decide to leave me and block me on all social media accounts.. Or if I have said something that offended her, she could have at least talked to me rather than blocked me – so I would know how to fix it. Nothing. just nothing. .. she just chose to disappear and leave me. I thought we were just fine the other night… we even laughed it off… then the next day? She blocked me. … on FB and Twitter.. she even left me on IG without saying why which is one thing I don’t get or understand at all.

An oil or serum for a skincare product? Why not?
For my second blog post this year, I’ve decided to write a review about another skincare product from Banish which is the Banish Serum – Dark Spot Corrector Vitamin C Serum.
First of all, what is Banish Serum? What are its benefits to the skin? Can anyone use this product? When is it no longer safe to use this product?
What Banish Serum Is?
Formerly known as the Banish Oil, this product is a glycerin based Vitamin C Serum. This product is made fresh daily. This serum’s no longer effective once it has turned yellow/orange or has oxidized. The Vitamin C Serum has a PH level of 3 to 4 and can penetrate into the skin without disrupting its barrier.
Benefits Of Banish Serum
This serum has several benefits to the skin such as: collagen boost, works as a dark spot corrector, adds a natural dewy glow to skin and a lot more. The Banish Serum is stabilized with ferulic acid.
Ingredients found in this serum
The Banish Serum contains key ingredients such as vegetable glycerin, aqua, hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) extract, 100% L-ascorbic acid, ferulic acid , natural rose extract and many more.

My Christmas Wishlist…
He’s making a list.. checking it twice… Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice..
What’s up , my fellow bloggers? Christmas is just a few days away.. have you ever made a wishlist during Christmas season? Have you made up what would be in your list this year?
Let me share with you the top items on my Christmas wishlist for this year
Visa grant for visiting Australia (Adelaide – south Australia)
A cat tree for my fur baby
Harry Potter DVD set
Harry Potter journal (Slytherin design)
Visa Grant For Visiting Australia (Adelaide SA to be exact)
Okay.. I’ll be 100% honest with you. One of the main reasons why I wanted and have been wishing for a tourist visa grant for Australia is to see my girlfriend of 2 years. I have really been wanting to see and meet her personally and tour the whole of Adelaide South Australia with her.
I’m half scared and worried though about my visa application getting rejected.. of course it would hurt me if ever that happens.
A Cat Tree For My Fur Baby
Being a cat mom, I want to give my fur baby a comfortable space for him to sleep on and have fun with… I just happened to see a display of this cat tree while I was on a grocery errand.
Harry Potter DVD Set
If you’re like me who’s much of a Potterhead, you’d definitely know by now that my Christmas wishlist won’t be complete without this item.
Harry Potter journal (Slytherin cover)
Yes.. I’m proudly Slytherin… which is why I picked out this design for a Harry Potter journal.

Reasons Why I Want To Move Out And Start Living Independently
Dealing with toxic relationships, not necessarily between boyfriend-girlfriend or girlfriend-girlfriend, can really be stressful- especially if it’s within your household – whether with your parents or siblings. (Source: “Do You Have a Toxic Family Member?” by Stacey Colino from Psycom; https://www.psycom.net/relationships/toxic-family)
Signs you are in a toxic family:
Your perception of you doesn’t go along or jibe with the way you see yourself.
You are being accused of things you feel are not true.
You feel emotionally destabilized (“not good enough”)
Your family members don’t take responsibility for their own harmful actions
They manipulate you to make you feel guilty
They humiliate you or put you down
They lie about things to make you feel bad
Your family members bully or harass you
They are nasty, mean or contemptuous
Your family members gaslight ( a form of emotional and psychological abuse wherein a person uses verbal and behavioral tricks to convince another person you are losing your mind) you or blame you for the things they did.
Toxic relationships within the family can take a toll on your mood, self esteem and sense of confidence as well as the ability to make decisions or think clearly.
Source: “Gaslighting: What Is It and Why Do People Do It?” from Psycom; https://www.psycom.net/gaslighting-what-is-it
Reasons why I wanted to move out and start living independently:
I feel really suffocated too much with my mom’s nagging and demanding attitude
I can’t be myself anymore and do whatever it is I wanted to do with my life. It’s always them that makes decisions for me when I’m already adult enough
Relationship with my parents are getting too toxic and unhealthy for me. Lots of stress and pressure.
They can’t stop talking about wars and moving to their province for good (which I really hate a lot). Full of negative vibes and stress.
I just don’t see my future here in the Philippines anymore. I want to be with my girlfriend already in South Australia.
I can’t stand my mom’s nagging behavior where she insists of getting things done her way and being too unappreciative of the help given. She always seems to expect everyone in the family to be like her and that’s what gets me feel suffocated a lot.

Veganism
Ever came across the term “Veganism” ? What thought first comes into your mind when you hear that word?
What Veganism Is
Veganism is defined as the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products – particularly in someone’s diet – as well as an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals (Source: “Veganism” from Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism )
It’s a lifestyle that avoids all animal foods such as meat, dairy, eggs and honey as well as other animal derived products like leather and products being tested on animals. (Source: “What Is Veganism?” from The Vegan Society; https://www.vegansociety.com/)
Veganism is being distinguished into different categories: Dietary veganism, ethical veganism and environmental veganism.
Also known as “vegan diet” , it is a way of living in which people exclude all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty. Veganism was coined back in the year 1944 by a small group of vegetarians who left the Leicester Vegan Society in England to form a society of their own. The definition of veganism now extends beyond eating a plant-based diet. (Source: “What Is Veganism, and What Do Vegans Eat? by Alina Petre from Healthline; https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-a-vegan)
Veganism Pros And Cons
Like any other things, veganism has its pros and cons (advantages and disadvantages). Veganism doesnt always work for all people , especially for those who have certain health conditions. It’s not a one size fits all kind of thing. Going vegan doesnt necessarily mean it would make you less cruel to animal nor does it mean you’re healthier than other people who aren’t on that certain type of diet.
Here’s another article about pros and cons of veganism: “The Vegan Diet: Advantages and Disadvantages” from Cook x Unity
Source: “Veganism: Pros and Cons” from Healthy Living; https://www.healthylivingdirect.com/blog/post/veganism-pros-and-cons
Pros of veganism:
Reduced risk of illness
Weight loss
Better for animal welfare
Cons of veganism
Lack of essential nutrients
Not recommended for people with certain health conditions
Difficult to eat out at restaurants and events

Would You Rather..?
It’s been a while I haven’t written anything on my blog.. and I’ve thought of writing something different from all the posts I’ve written.
For this blog post, I’ve thought about doing some random “Would You Rather” questions and answering a bit of them. The “Would You Rather” game is one of the ways of getting to know people better – whether they are acquaintance friends or someone closest to you.
So.. without further ado… I’d be answering a few “Would You Rather questions” I found quite interesting ..
1. Would you rather have telekinesis (the ability to move things with your mind) or telepathy (the ability to read minds)? – I’d rather have both of them.. I wanted to be able to move things with my mind and read through people’s minds as well and see how they really perceive me to be meaning what kind of a person they think I am).
2. Would you rather find true love today or win the lottery next year? – I’d rather find true love…. I don’t like lottery or any form of gambling to be honest.. so I’m choosing the first option.
3. Would you rather give up air conditioning and heating for the rest of your life or give up the Internet for the rest of your life? – Hell to the no with giving up Internet for the rest of my life so I’d definitely go for giving up air conditioning than giving up Internet, especially that it’s my only source or means of communication with my girlfriend who lives worlds away from me.
4. Would you rather be an extra in an Oscar-winning movie or the lead in a box office bomb? – I’d rather be an extra in an Oscar-winning move than the lead.. At least then I won’t have to go through memorization of lines which is something I am not good at or something I struggle with.
5. Would you rather have unlimited battery life on all of your devices or have free WiFi wherever you go? – I’d rather have both to be honest… What’s the use of having unlimited battery life but no WiFi and vice versa?
6. Would you rather travel the world for free for a year or have $50,000 to spend however you please? – I’d rather travel the world for free for a year..
7. Would you rather detect every lie you hear or get away with every lie you tell? – I’d rather detect every lie I hear..
8. Would you rather have fortune or fame? – Fortune..
9. Would you rather be invisible or be able to fly? – I’d rather be invisible.. …
10. Would you rather be an unknown superhero or an infamous villain? – I’d rather be an infamous villain.. sometimes being a superhero or a protagonist all the time can be boring .. and I’m having a hunch that might be the role I’m most likely to snag if I were to still be back to acting and appearing on TV shows.

A Few Random Thoughts…
These past few days, my mind has been juggled with a few random thoughts – from wanting to go to Australia to traveling and being with my girlfriend… to some different things.
Sometimes I don’t even know anymore what I want in life, except for the fact that I wanted to stay permanently in Adelaide Australia and be with my girlfriend of 2 years there.. I just really wanted to be with her already….. just for the sake of not having to worry about being separated from her anymore or being worlds away from each other. A lot of what if’s and anxious thoughts kept entering my mind while I’m away from her… “What if something happens?” , “What if I don’t make it there to her anymore..?” and those thoughts alone scare me enough to even rush things up even more. I don’t want to be worlds away anymore from her as the thought of separation gets me even more anxious and agitated.
I hate it here already in my home country.. it’s not that I’m being ungrateful .. I just don’t see a better future if I stay here in the Philippines for long. .. I see a better future elsewhere and definitely it’s not within this country or in a provincial life that my parents forcing and insisting on me. I see it somewhere and definitely that’s in Australia – where my girlfriend is..

What's In My Bucket List?
What’s on my bucket list? What are the things or dreams I want to accomplish or reach if I were to pass on too soon from a cancer or when I reach end of life care?
A bucket list is a list of things you want to do passing on or “kicking the bucket” and each one has his or her own unique bucket list.
Creating a bucket list is one activity a cancer patient undertakes to enhance his or her quality of life he or she hopes to do before “kicking the bucket”.
Sharing a few or several items on my bucket list that I hope to accomplish (I know afew of them might be impossible but I’m still praying I could).
Go and visit Australia (be with my Australian girlfriend in Adelaide)
Dye my hair platinum blonde
Attend a modeling workshop
Try shooting range or archery
Adopt another kitten
Visit my alma mater
Catch up with my best friend and bond with her
Make a fanfic
Visit Wizarding World Of Harry Potter (Universal Studio – Japan)
Own an Instax camera
Watch a live musical play (e.g. Les Miserables)
Give more gifts to Whisky or take him to a trip abroad (especially Australia).
Engage in cosplay events (and dress up like my favorite HP character – Draco Malfoy)

Debit Card vs. Credit Card
So you’re thinking of holding a debit or credit card? But do you know the difference between the two? Or which one you should get?
Typically, debit and credit cards, even though they may have a lot of differences – have the same function. (Source: “Difference Between Credit Card And Debit Card” from Bank Bazaar; https://www.bankbazaar.com/credit-card/difference-between-debit-and-credit-card.html)
Both cards work nearly identical when paying for things like grocery items , but they differ in some aspects. A debit card is linked to your checking account and PIN and your money is being deducted from your account balance. This card can be used for withdrawing from an ATM or getting cashback at certain stores. (Source: “Credit Cards vs Debit Cards: What Should I Use?” by Casey Bond from U.S. News; https://money.usnews.com/credit-cards/articles/credit-cards-vs-debit-cards-what-should-i-use)
Credit cards, on the other hand, are linked to a revolving line of credit a card holder can draw as needed. They offer better cash rewards as compared to debit cards. They also provide incentives for balance transfers.
Debit and credit cards are arguably the popular options to cash in.. The question needed to be answered here isn’t “which one is better?” but rather “When should I use debit or credit card” ? (Source: “Debit Card vs. Credit Card: When To Use Each Type?” from Maya.ph ; https://www.maya.ph/stories/debit-card-vs.-credit-card-when-to-use-each-type-of-payment-card)
When To Use Debit Card
Controlling your spending habits
Buying from small businesses
When To Use Credit Card
Earning points
Establising good credit history
Buying from foreign shops
Traveling abroad
Getting both cards have their own pros and cons. Let’s start with debit cards first pros and cons first (Source: “Debit vs. Credit Cards: Pros and Cons of Each” from Cadence Bank; https://cadencebank.com/insights-and-articles/personal/difference-between-debit-and-credit-cards)
Debit Cards
Pros
Help control spending
Save money on interest
Get cash
Highly convenient
Don’t charge interest
Cons
Limited fraud protection
Spending limit depends on checking account balance
Can cause overdraft fees
Have no credit score
Credit Card
Pros
Offer short term financing
Builds credit history
Offer cashback or reward programs
Offer better fraud protection

Mary Cherry Chua: A Film Worth Watching
Speak of her name.. she’ll follow you…
This film is based on an urban legend about a student way back in the 1960s . Mary Cherry Chua (or known as Mary Chua) is described to be a cheerful young girl with long black hair – beautiful, rich and smart. She’s also considered to be popular and envied by many. Unfortunately, she met her untimely demise as she was found lifeless on campus grounds. The school janitor was said to have raped and murdered her.
The movie centralizes on Karen (played by Ashley Diaz), a student with a passion reading horror stories and urban legends. Intrigued by the life and tragic fate of Mary Cherry Chua (Abby Bautista) , she decides to bring up the case again and start her own investigation – leading her to discover clues about the crime with the help of her friends. Unbeknownst to her, Karen’s curiosity seems to be putting her own life at risk as she delves deeper into the mystery of Mary Cherry Chua’s death.
Verdict on the movie:
Film is definitely worth watching. I could say it really gave me a lot of goosebumps and jumpscare starting from the intro or opening. Kudos to the whole cast for a job well done, especially Elia Ilano.
I like the plot twist of the story. (Not going to tell what it is. Watch to find out).
