100% Twilighter

A Twilighter : ( twahy-lahyt-er), noun
              - An overly obsessed fan of the Twilight Saga


 
I have never been this addicted! But yeah, Edward Cullen is my drug! My personal miracle. There's too much about the Twilight Saga that made me and I believe millions of other "Cullens wanna be" out there, so hooked with it's story.


I usually see the books displayed on leading bookstores' special areas. Of course, it's a New York Times Best Selling Series..duh! And I wasn't aware of that until I decided to grab a copy of Breaking Dawn ( I was curious with the poster in Powerbooks Megamall " The waiting is over" - and I simply asked.." what is it about this book that readers are waiting for?!" Am I missing something here? A fad I am unaware of? YES! YES! YES! I did missed that! ) But it's history now because eversince I started reading the Saga..it change the way I eat, breath and live..sorry if I am exaggerating but really. trust me...it is unexplainable.

August 17, 2008, Sunday afternoon  - I bought Twilight at Natl Bookstore Trinoma. The cliche? Once you pop..you can't stop! I finished the book Monday afternoon.





August 18, 2008, Monday ( holiday) evening - I grabbed the sequel -New Moon at the same bookstore , I tried to purchase it from Powerbooks but obviously it's SOLD OUT! I finished reading it Tuesday afternoon.




August 19, 2008, Tuesday ( still holiday) evening, I got my reserved Breaking Dawn from Powerbooks Trinoma. I wanna make sure I will have the last book on hand when it's time. But I am having problems with Eclipse..almost all bookstores and its outlets said that the book is only available on hardbound for now. Arrghh...I wanna bite some human that time..Sorry..I just got to carried away wanting to be a vampire...you know. Anyway, I  had the E-book of Eclipse as an alternative because I can't live one more day without setting my eyes on the story again. I tried to read it but I get bored easily because of the set-up. Well, I have to read on the wide screen of my laptop and that made me seriously sick! I can't read Eclipse if I will go the the powder room, if I ride the PUJ or the MRT, when I am on another place waiting for a late friend and so on and so forth. So It took me all the effort to find my "real" Eclipse book and oh bloody hell I found a paperback copy at Fullybooked Rockwell last August 21! Hurray..from then on, I read it even when I am lying on bed and never have to worry that my laptop would drop into my face when I fall asleep!

I finished Eclipse, Saturday morning- August  23, 2008 leaving the Breaking Dawn the last but definitely an anticipated sequel.  

All in all,it just took me a week to finish the Twilight Saga and mind you, I really read each and every word from the book. I never skipped or missed a page feeling afraid that I might overlook on some great scenes.

August 24, 2008- my mind is floating in thin air, I suddenly wanted to be a vampire.. be a Cullen vampire specifically and look for an Edward that I know never exists. This Saga really gave a weird effect on my sanity.

Now I find myself browsing through almost every You tube I come across to, Google-ling  for all possible and best sources of Twilight Saga updates and products like shirts and button pins, trailers of the upcoming movie on November 2008 ( I have to watch the premiere! I won't last another day) and any other tidbits as long as it is related with the Saga. Sharing insights with co-twilighters like Nina, Thea, Mia  and Trina and encouraging other friends to join the coven like Maan, Joan, Love, Gracie and Lani and oh so many other friends who are missing a vampire romantic story in their lives and joining every single forum and groups /coven that felt the same way I did when I finished reading the story.
 

The Twilight Saga is  a force I can't escape, an addiction that is unstoppable, a new hope for love and a love that will make you believe it will last forever...a surrender to be Edward's lamb... An Isabella Swan in my own personal way! This is so not me but I am lovin' it. Truly, Stephanie Meyer did a marvelous job writing such Saga.

  How about you? Are you a Twilighter?

  I am and 100%. : )

questions i do not know the answers

Love. How would you define it? How far can you go in the name of love? Will it be easy to forgive if we consider love? What about forgetting-forgetting the pain brought about love? Life is supposed to be simple, a blessing everyday…but what if catastrophe comes and ruin the simple life and the love we have known? Can someone hurt you and do something bad but loves you at the same time? Would you understand any situation because of love? When do we stop and consider if the basis of our decisions are still out of love? Unconditional love, a love determined to stay in spite the aches. As for me, I really do not , my heart and mind cannot feel and think right now… I just know my heart is being squeezed very hard and tears come running down in my eyes.

Missin'

I was so happy to purchase the missing book from the Twilight sequel – “ Eclipse” paperback – from Fullybooked in Rockwell this afternoon! Now I can’t wait to finish everything! Imagine Twilight last Sunday, New Moon on Monday, Eclipse – overly excited to finish it and finally move on to Breaking the Dawn ( I bought this 4^th book since it took me some time to finally discover the paperback of Eclipse at Rockwell) Maybe I can talk more about this sequel on a different blog… Anyway, I still had the chance to drop by early at Shangri-La mall to meet Sheila so we can talk about some details in her wedding reception. Bon appétit is nowhere to be found so we just grabbed pizza and pasta at Green Tomatoes ( Sundried pesto and shrimp for pasta and 4 kinds of Cheese for Pizza..yum..yum) and we can’t help our feet that brought is to our dessert at Secret Recipe ( chocolate overload over English breakfast tea, how was that? I can see Mr. Fatty coming…)

I just realized it was a long day… here I am blogging and still have to finish my presentation tomorrow at work. I just can’t focus on some thing most especially when there’s something lackin’. I don’t know but there is really something…

magnet

8.14.8 / 7:46 PM

My feet brought me to North Park for dinner. Lately, I am not feeling good because of my cough, cold and slight fever but I needed to be alone for dinner to release my stress from work (whoops…I am usually alone during dinner….) and good food to couple my sentimental moment. I sipped my house tea while waiting for my Noodle Soup – Whole Wheat with Wanton. The other table adjacent to me caught my attention; they are demonstrating something by pushing a man about 50 years of age. From my eavesdropping skill with few glances on the side, I learned they are showing the wonders of a certain magnet. It could make you stronger for a period of time, athletes use it, semi-paralyzed muscles can move and a lot more magnet stories…the person leading the group said that since our body is composed of 75% water (he wasn’t sure about it at first, thinking it might be just 50%..hehehe) and the rest is blood - the red liquid that has an iron component which increases with the present of the magnet. Hmmm… not that I don’t believe them, my mom actually has one of those magnet thing that a nun gave her at our local church, I can’t just help butsee myself looking for a “magnet” in my life .

I am really frustrated with my performance at work today, yesterday, the day before yesterday and maybe for the past few months already. One day I am doing the best then I’ll fall the next day doing things badly. I can’t even imagine the Sweet I am seeing right now. I don’t blame my bosses and I can’t even blame the work I was assigned to do. But sometimes, inevitable circumstances can happen and when I am in the middle of it I would feel that it is my responsibility, lest it is my mistake. I would blame myself, dwell on my emotion and never move on and patch things up. I wish I have a magnet that can take away all the bad feelings, something that can just pull out the negative vibes that retain when I feel guilty, and a ginormous magnet that will just attract happy thoughts and help me move forward and prove that I am capable of learning from the blunder I committed.

I wish I do have that magnet but I don’t … well at the end of the day it is God who becomes my source of magnetized energy, hope and love. From Him I draw my strength for the next pocketful of sunshine when I wake. Tomorrow will be a new day and I need to carry that “magnet” with me at work so I can be very productive! Go Sweet Go!

So I scoop the remaining soup from my bowl, paid my bill and finished this blog.

a fresh start

8.3.8

I am fond of having my own journal (more popular as a “diary” then) ever since I was in grade school but I don’t know where to start and I am afraid someone else would find and read about it specially my mom. Come high school and “organizer” has become a fad. I finally decided to write my life story, inscribing it on my first “organizer” that mom bought from Expressions ( a popular bookstore in our province before when NBS is nowhere to be found). It became more of a visual journal rather than paragraphs of what I’ve been through from day to day. I loved my English class and even loved making poems and stories more when I took the Elective class in third year high school. I can still picture my “terror” English teacher with gigantic eye glasses, encouraging us to express ourselves in writing and so I did! I was very happy when my Dad bought me a Mead organizer from the states, the leather cover is good and the paper quality is even better! That inspired me to continue writing using my favorite ball point pen.

When I reach college, I continue to note down my experiences, though it has not been as serious before, maybe because of a busy schedule. I have to study you knaw!  After a while, I suddenly stop writing, I can’t remember when, maybe third year or early fourth year college. I just don’t know why, perhaps I was busier than ever. After I graduated from college, Internet continues to boom and by 2004 I registered my first blog but barely updated it. I got my first Starbucks organizer in 2006 and began to put pen to paper one more time. After I set up my first blog few years ago, I have put up more than one but never maintained an official blog, from blogspot, wordpress, livejournal, multiply, xanga, friendster, blah blah blah… I am not really comfortable with the idea than my friends and family might be reading my day to day experience…hehehe…I attempted to formally start blogging again on days like my birthday, Christmas, New Year, first day of the month etc. but I fall short. 

But this morning, I read that having a journal is like having a Soul Spa. It is a form of listening to one self, to our emotions, and that’s exactly what I need! And so at this very moment I am starting one of my passions again. I don’t just blog because it’s a vogue… but because I know it will help me grow more each day. We all wanted better days for our lives and through this blog I will relive that pocketful of sunshine that I once dream of.
