Witch wannabe

based from their character names
L-R: Nick Armstrong, Diana Meade, Faye Chamberlain,
Adam Conant, Cassie Blake and Melissa Glaser

I just watched the whole season 1 last week for 3 school days straight. It has been my break time from stressful hours of studying for my tests. I am fond of witches, magic, powers and fictional novels since I was a kid, so I was really hooked with this series.

The story is about witches, of course. It is based from a novel of L.J. Smith, also the writer of The Vampire Diaries. The protagonists are the six people in the picture, except that Nick died and was replaced by his brother Jake. But the main protagonist, I think, is Cassie Blake since the story started when her mother died (murdered by magic) and she moved in with her grandmother in Chance Harbor. There, the 5 other kids are waiting for her for them to be able to bound a circle. They were also seeking for the truth on what did happen on the fire 16 years ago that caused some of their parents to die. But, later on in the series, Cassie found out that she has a dark magic in her and that her father, John Blackwell, is actually alive. They found out that the witch hunters were the ones who killed their parents. But another twist happened, Cassie found her sister. Her sister from the circle. Another one that has a Balcoin (dark magic) blood in her. And that's Diana Meade. The season ended wherein they have formed the crystal skull and found that it's John Blackwell's plan all along to have 2 kids in each circle of witches with a Balcoin blood to be able to complete a circle of six with dark magic at the center of it. But Cassie and Diana was not in favor of it that's why they killed John Blackwell.

But the season ended with a lot of clues on what to expect from the next season. Faye's dealing with her individual power. Jake's grandfather notice of warning. Melissa and Adam's closeness. Adam's temptation to power. Diana moving out leaving a trace in her palm that she is a Blackwell. Cassie's obsession with her power (dark power). And the 4 other Blackwell kids. 

So I am really excited to watch the season 2. But I've read some articles saying that CW is cancelling the renewal of TSC. :(( It's because of it's poor ratings compared to the other series. And it breaks my heart. :(( Well, I actually don't if it's official so I guess I'll just wait for an update. But they say ABC might get it so either way there will still be a season 2, ( i hope!). 

Haha dunno if I made a good one in here but I just wanted to share the new series that I've watched. :)

Motivation!

Level yourself with what you can, not just what others can.

Motivation is what I really needed right now. Like what Sir Bryan said, we are already in our 4th yr in college, we must put a lot of effort in everything we do. It is easier said than done. So I really needed some motivation. Good thing, last Friday (July 20, 2012), Sir Bryan was our substitute professor in Auditing Theory. Actually he was asked to teach us the Code of Ethics by Ma'am Salvador so that we can have our quiz next meeting, but before proceeding to his "assignment" he told us different things we must know regarding the CPA Licensure Exam.

Regarding the phrase above, it has been my motivational phrase since last week. Because I know for a fact, and I am not denying nor am I proud to be, that I was actually comparing myself to what others are doing. Let's say for example in a quiz/exam. I will rate myself base on the grades that my classmate have. Well, sometimes it helps but I came to realize that I wasn't actually helping myself. I was just giving myself more stress thinking that I am not as intelligent as they were or worse is that I was the lowest in our class.

So from now on, until the day that I receive that three-letter after my name, I must and I will concentrate on everything that I will be doing. Focus. Effort. Patience. Discipline. All of that. And of course through prayers I know Papa JE will always be with me.

I hope many of us in here will have our own motivation.
