okay, so a lot of you might be wondering what's all these fuss about twilight? and what the deal is with our addiction to this novel that is considered to be the next hottest book since harry potter?
well, i can justify this craze in two words..are you ready?:
EDWARD CULLEN.
vague, i know.and totally out of order.but the thing is, if you read twilight from cover to cover, you'd understand why.
let me give you a little back story of how i came to love this book.
late last year, my good friend marissa kept on texting me quotes from someone called edward cullen.being the busy girl that i was, i ignored the messages for a while.however, when she flooded my inbox with quotes still from this edward cullen, i asked her who the heck he is and why does she seem to be so gaga over words that he says? so she gave me a little gist about who he is.he is apparently, the protagonist in this love story entitled twilight.and it is about a human girl who fell inlove with a vampire.
"ahh, okay...", i thought.seemed interesting.but not interesting enough for me to actually go and buy the paperback.hey, after all, i was still head over heels inlove with the harry potter series and i was still apalled at the thought that "the deathly hallows" was the end of it.
so, okay.life was normal after that.except when marissa really kept on flooding my inbox with quotes and when joyce, another friend since birth, did the same thing and gushed about this edward cullen who is soo hot and mysterious.
this made me wonder,
"who the eff is edward cullen and why are my friends inlove with him?and why are my friends becoming maniacs about being with him??"
after hearing countless stories over the sophomore sembreak about twilight, life was more idle after that--edward-dialogues free, atleast, from the time being.
and during the succeeding months, i stopped hearing about edward cullen and his hotness. whew.thank you Lord.
then, came august this year.
during one of my dull days, julie, another friend since birth, and me texted each other.it was one of those text conversations that you'll realize that you're thankful for because something good came out of it.i mean, other than not being able to see each other for almost a year and a half, we got updated with each other's lives.
so, out of the blue, she asked me (in an attempt to switch to another topic, i figured), if i ever read twilight yet.
i was like, "uh-oh...here we go again.more edward groupies."
i told her, no but i've heard a LOT about him for the past months, though.
so like joyce and marissa, she was polite enough to share with me about what it was and she also ranted about how she's inlove with edward as well.and she asked me if i wanted to borrow her book.i said, yeah, alright...i'll give it a shot then and see what the fuss is about.
the next morning at school, i came to class and saw some people carrying the book.celine, a friend, was also reading.and so was giannina.
i wanted to scream,"oh no!twilight mania in the house!"
so to make the story short, i got the book (thanks to my brother, who was the one who got the book from ann, julie's sister) and began to read it about a week ago.
i don't want to sound like a maniac, but here goes:
OMFG!I SHALL EAT MY WORDS!INDEED, EDWARD CULLEN IS SO DAMN HOT, SATAN HIMSELF SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND WALK OUT OF HELL TO MAKE WAY FOR EDWARD.
hahahaha.laugh out loud.i know.i'm crazy.call me addict, but i am.
i am now one of those millions of weird fans who are dreaming of an edward cullen that shall sweep me off my feet.:)
and, the movie excites me more than anything else in the whole world.:)november, where art thou?
oh my gosh!:) i'm so sorry to bore you with my rant, but i can't help it.:) twilight is soo romantic that romeo and juliet pales a thousand shades darker compared to it.
well,it's because romeo is no edward and juliet is no bella.:)
i would completely understand if you want to stop reading my blog at this point and browse somewhere else because all that you're reading right now are all mushy stuff.:)but if you're a fan like i am, go on ahead and share my mush.:)
so anyway, in a nutshell, twilight is a novel about a normal human girl named bella who moved into a small town called forks to live with her father who her mother left a long time ago.bella hated the place although she was tolerating it because she wanted to live with her father for a change.
in her school, she felt like a stranger (duh.she just moved in.go figure.) but nonetheless, her being "new" seemed to fascinate majority of the male population. it was in this school that she met the cullens, a queer, pale family who didn't seem very friendly but their inhumanly beautiful faces separated them from the rest. her eye was caught by one of them, the bronze haired boy who resembled a god.apparently, he was taking notice of her too.
however, bella noticed that he seemed to be keeping his distance from her and he seemed disturbed by her presence.
off to the good parts:
their entire relationship was uneasy, thanks to edward's hostility and countless mood swings and bella's oblivious self.
however, in one chapter, edward finally lets his guard down and says,"i'm tired of staying away from you, bella..." (btw, i screamed when i read this part and this was only in chapter 3.the book is that good.)
so, there.but someone clued bella in that the cullens are vampires.this was a startling revelation, but it didn't shock or scare bella that much.why?well, read the book to find out.:)
so then, came the nice parts...:) the declaration of love, the introduction to the vampire family, the ball game, james and bella's near death experience because of james.
i'm in too much sloth to give details, so go read the book!:)
REVIEW:
obviously, twilight is V.G. with 10 million stars for me!:)) hahahahaha.:)
edward and bella are the next best thing since brangelina, tom-kat, beyonce-jay-z, bill-monica (where did that come from?haha) COMBINED.:)
twilight is soo good that you'll feel ashamed for not being in the band wagon.:)
like i always seem to say lately, EDWARD CULLEN IS NOW MY NEW STANDARD FOR A FUTURE BOYFRIEND.
how i wish all guys would be like him:a little bit evil, but totally the real thing.:)
the way he sees bella should be the way that all human guys should see girls.
HUMAN BOYS, YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.:)
i'm kidding.;)
twilight is definitely a must read.:)
...
i'm anticipating for NEW MOON.
went to the book store earlier tonight to buy myself a copy, but eff, it's sold out.it's that bankable.c'mon.:)
thank God for friends like guica, she volunteered to get me a copy, which, hopefully, i can get by thursday.:)
i love you guica.:)
...
who would've thought that a simple novel can create such an addiction?
i know you want to read it.:)
