| Nouvelle Lune |

After 5 minutes on my seat yester noon, I knew I wouldn't be able to make a review about the movie. Instead of one being woven in my head, I had recollections of what it was like knowing the story a year ago. The same emotions were coming back as if I was holding the book in my hands while getting inside the head of the person whose name reminds me of the fraternité.
Perhaps it was the reason I had second thoughts about reading the novel again. I've read the first book twice. Somewhere in my head, kept hidden by my subconscious, was the knowledge that doing so will trigger sentiments that will turn on my coping mechanism. I am not being emo here for I am definitely not one.
Emotional emotions are something I hardly relate to. Another reason why I am so fond of the saga. "Empathy is a gift," Chin Chin Gutierrez said in an interview, but she didn't mention that it comes with a price. And it's not something you can delay to pay.
When I read the book, I was quick to understand the human, the leech, and the shape-shifter. Besides the entertainment brought by fiction, I was able to understand some things and see some situations better and clearer than before. I was relieved.

| The Dawn decision |

I am now making the decision not to make and/or participate in unnecessary Twilight discussions, i.e. annihilate the movie. But for the last time, so far, the movies has flaws but I still love it. I have been too forgiving lately. I guess.

| Twilight is like Pinakbet -- bitter gourd and bagoong and eggplant rolled into one |
Pinakbet is a local dish made of vegetables, bagoong (bah-goh-ong) and animal fat. The authentic Pinakbet does not need to be stirred. And once you closed the lid, there's no way you should open it again except to fish out the dish and serve it. Like Pinakbet -- bitter gourd and bagoong and eggplant rolled into one. What I am trying to say is that Twilight is a movie with sprinkles of suspense/thriller, comedy, and romance. But I am not a fan of the Bella-Edward romance. I'd say it's also a family movie. If you've already watched the movie, remember how the Cullens protected Bella? I love what Carlisle said about her. It was sweet. Twilight is a package. I also love how the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula was featured. Breath-taking. --- My first review for Twilight is here: 9/10 Music: Paramore - I Caught Myself Labels: movie, Twilight |

| E7 for Twilight's Advance Screening |
I was in The Podium yesterday to buy a ticket for Twilight's advanced screening tonight at 20:30. Wooh! I'm bloody excited. :p
When I got to the counter, I asked how many people had already purchased tickets for the advance screening. They showed my the monitor with lots of red boxes. It meant that a lot of people had already reserved for the "special" event. I just went, "Oh!" because I thought not so many people will watch in The Podium. I was wrong.
They made me choose a seat. It's a reserved seating stuff. I already had a seat number in mind when I left The Podium last Saturday. It was seat #7 but I wasn't so sure which letter. Maybe it was F7.
Anyways, what was left for me was E7. There were other vacant seats but I was too persistent with the #7. Besides, It was amusing though I may not have F7 yet E7 remained free. Was that really for me? Haha!

| Bloody Pissed |

I made a call to a particular cinema in Ortigas earlier so I can make a reservation for Twilight's advanced screening tomorrow night. Troublesome for a patient person. Quite. Anyways, what pissed me was the reply to my inquiry. I have to purchase the ticket at the counter. Bloody hell. I know being upset was illogical, but I just got upset.
There were other stuff that pissed me today. I just hope I'd do well for the rest of the day.
-=-=-=-
I've been saying profanities lately, and I am not bloody happy about it. I then decided to try the alternatives so I can slowly stop saying bad words. But I've noticed that I say "Bloody" and "Bloody hell" a lot. But to justify myself, that's better than the word/s I used to ejaculate a couple of days ago.
I should really stop this balderdash profanity.

| Bloody Frustration |

Frustrations are bloody annoying. There are a lot of stuff I want to do but some have to wait while others have been missed. It upsets me. Stuff about myself, other people, school, the society, and others are just like missiles hitting me from here and there at the same time.
Btw, tomorrow is the international release of Twilight. Philippines was supposed to be one of the lucky countries to watch the movie first hand tomorrow. Too bad Summit Entertainment couldn't ship the movie earlier for whatever reason.. I really felt bad when I found it out. May there be no bloody piracy for this much awaited movie.
Philippines will have Twilight on the 26th.
I've become more irritated lately. I usually feel that I need to keep moving around and do stuff. "Busy-bisihan." I would love to play the guitar. I mean learn play the guitar. I need more practice.
Ugh!

| Exam Week |

I still haven't made a review for Breaking Dawn. And I still can't make a review this week. It's busy in school, lots of exams. I actually just came back from school -okay, I got back at least half an hour ago- because I attended the FN rationalization of the REGIS. And while I was at it, I was taking exam in PALMAR. Multi-tasking!
And speaking of exam, I had two exams earlier: one in the morning and another in the afternoon, CHN and FN, respectively. Two hundred items each. The PALMAR exam consisted of two hundred and fifty questions. That means I answered a total of 650 questions today. Err.. yesterday. *sigh*
The exams didn't end there. I still have more to answer later. Three subjects I guess. That'd be 300 items in total. Three consecutive days of exams.. I wonder how much more my brain can take. Haha!
Btw, there's a Twilight-related event in FullyBooked on Friday at 1900H. I would like to come, but that means shelling out a hundred bucks. *hides money* Maybe I'll just come in the bookstore, but not participate in the event. Oh well, let's see.. XD
I have to sleep now. I need my rest. I need lots of it.
