Yup, I'm one of you who were so excited about the film. Yeah, I'm talking about TWILIGHT. (I'm assuming that everyone who read this entry has the idea about the movie.) Well, I'm not really a big fan. I wasn't even able to read the book, but I'm still planning to.
Last week, the wait of the fans finally came to an end as Twilight premiered here. It was my privilege to be one of the limited fans who saw the blockbuster film on its red carpet premiere! I had hard times securing invitations for that night, but thank God, it was worth it. Before that, there were days that I couldn't stop thinking about the story. There even times that I saw vampires in my dreams, not same as in Stephenie Meyer's dream, though. The vampires in my dreams didn't even look like Edward Cullen. I don't know, but I became
addicted to it since I saw the trailer. Thanks to Aaron. I was hooked by its romantic twist. It was like a drug that badly needs to be in my systems. LOL. Thanks to those videos on Youtube, they helped me supply the 'drug' that I needed. :)Before I saw the film, I was already exposed to the negative reviews that's been everywhere, since it was released in the US a week before in some other countries, including mine. And, I would say that I was almost discouraged by those evaluations. But then, despite those unsatisfied comments that I gathered, the positive ones still had the advantage.
When I finally saw Twilight, unfortunately, somehow, I agreed to some of the negative comments, but I still would say that I loved the movie. They say that it's a love-it-or-hate-it movie, well, I loved it. And, I'm looking forward to the sequel.
Late July this year when I first heard about the movie Twilight. By then, I had no idea that it was a book-based one. Without seeing its trailer, and just basing on its synopsis, I immediately turned it down! I'm not actually a vampire-movie fan, that's why it was just easy for me to reject Twilight. I was, like, "Another boring vampire story". Yup, it's not fear that refrains me from liking vampire stories, but I thought vampire movies were boring. Sorry. Well, that was before. Early the next month, Aaron posted the trailer on his blog, and that was the first time I ever saw it. Man, I was surprised that I liked it. I took back what I commented the first time around. "This is something cool to look forward to", was the only thing I said right after viewing the trailer. "Why not give this film a chance to prove that it's not one of those that I thought were boring", I thought.
Month later, everywhere I go, people have been talking about Twilight. The novel and the movie. I've been hearing the term "Twilight" everywhere. Radio. Theater. Grocery. And so, I started to read more about it, its background, the author, and all. (Except for the book itself) With the information that I gathered, I fell in love with it, Twilight. I promised myself to watch out for this one. "I'm not gonna miss this one", I swore.
Another thing that added up to the excitement was this "vampire" episode on Tyra. (I think it was Tyra's Halloween special.) The episode was, yes, as I've said, about vampires. Since Twilight was still in my head, I paid attention to the show. Tyra investigates vampires, are they true, and all that. Well, to my surprise, vampires are indeed, REAL! Tyra had "vampire" guests on the show! From watching the interview, I was impressed by them. They didn't look harmful. They seemed nice. And, they weren't boring. LOL. I was shocked that those vampires really drink blood. Human blood!! I was like, 'seriously'?! They do it humanely, though. A needle and another stuff are used to transfer blood from somebody to a glass, like a wine glass. Next, they were asked if they eat flesh. Unfortunately, Mum was around then, and she changed the channel. Anyway, one more thing that I found out about vampires is that, some of them, or maybe most, are not into sex. I know! Pretty much weird, yeah. I was impressed, though. Now wondering if they sleep in coffins? Yeah, they do. Well, at least the male vampire guest. He even showed his casket. And, it was scary! One thing that I liked the most about them is that they can read other people's mind. The special ability that I would want to acquire.
It's funny how I was attracted to something that I used to refuse to even talk about. All I needed was a 'twist'. :) Now I even want to be one of them. The vegetarian type, though :p I've just been vampirized!
How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win you're losing fight
All the time
How could I ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know how
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I'm screaming, "I love you so")
On my own
(My thoughts you can't decode)
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves
There is something I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true
