Breaking Dawn in Bullet Points

• I was never a fan of the book but I’ve watched all the movie adaptations of the Saga and I think that this is the most impossible movie of all. I cannot comprehend how a vampire can impregnate an 18-year old woman. Technically, vampires are dead right? So how come? How come? (Pun not intended).

• Does Stephanie Meyer have necrophilia? Who makes love to a vampire? Apparently Bella does (and is sooooo excited and nervous in doing so, if I may add). The jitters I don’t get since she might as well have been copulating with an iceberg and the iceberg doesn’t even feel anything anyway.
• I know Twilight is fiction but I think the author uses ‘fiction’ loosely. Classifying your work as fiction doesn’t mean you can propel all your daydreams into reality.
• Great make-up though, Bella’s deterioration was convincing. When she was ‘reborn’ as a vampire and her face started to blanch, my mind was screaming; “This is a subtle promotion for Kristen’s new film, Snow White.”
• I liked how they brought back some of the music from the past installations. Might not be a fan of the movie but the Twilight OSTs are nice to hear. I have to admit that I swooned during the part when Edward and Bella were exchanging vows with the Iron and Wine song playing during the scene. That’s about the only thing I extremely liked. All other things in between were okay at best and unremarkable at worst.

I thought I'm done with this

This is maddeningly irritating and blissful both at the same time. I must be going crazy. It’s like my face muscles have an on/off switch whenever you’re around. I mean, it begins to stretch into a smile on its own, like it’s on some sort of tonic.

The fact is, I cannot decide whether to ignore you or not. I’ve been fence-sitting for a while now. Experience tells me to cross you off but instincts (read: hormones) tell me to reconsider. You’re not the perfect person I’ve envisioned you to be. Yes, I’ve been foolish enough to think that way. For someone who has sworn off idealism, that’s not only foolish, that’s naïve.

There’s enough evidence to say that I’m better off without you. And besides, I don’t want to compromise whatever friendship we have. That sounds like a very convenient excuse, doesn’t it? I’m not really convinced with my reasons, too. All I know is that I look for you when you’re gone and that I’m sincerely very glad every time I see you.

Uh-oh, there goes my facial muscles again. :)

Random musings under a November sky

• Less than a month from now before I turn a new leaf. I will be 25 years old in a few more weeks and I can’t help but feel excited. Yes, excited for the new things in store for me and for the adventures that will come my way. For me, being 25 means making more decisions that will be directional to, more or less, what I want to do for the rest of my life – not only in my career but in all aspects, too. It signifies an era of maturity-in-progress but not necessarily old age. After all, I want to preserve that childlike wonder and the thirst for trying out things I’ve never done before.
• Eight days. Eight days until I go on a Bohol escapade. Can hardly wait. This might be the last major trip/vacation I take in 2011 and I believe I deserve it. It’s been so long since we planned this trip and finally, we are eight days away from making it a reality. Hopefully, the weather improves by that time.
• Have you noticed how fast November is passing? It’s almost the 3^rd week and next thing you know December’s just right around the corner. I haven’t had a proper weekend during the past three weeks. It’s just really crazy at work this time of the year with all the 2012 plans being plotted. But I am happy that, finally, tomorrow (Saturday) I won’t be working but enjoying the day with friends at the movies. And I’m thinking of going on leave next Wednesday or Friday to treat myself to a pampering day (haha ang arte) and then do all the errands – which is a lot- I have to do before I leave for Bohol. J
