chiNky tInKeRbeLL's rAnDoM rANts ...

After watching the DVD copy of the movie, I was persuaded to read the book. Besides reading is my passion. I began to be hooked with Edward the first time I watched the movie. Yeah! And let me just tell you...the grin, the eyes, the hair? He lights up the screen. If I could bottle that and sell it? Haha!



(Who's obsessed NOW, huh?)



(Just kidding. It was always me.)

I started to grin in the chapter where Edward and Bella crossed their paths in the story. "nyork" "nyork" "nyork"

A few of my favorite scenes? Yes! I have depicted a wild imagination and fantasies while reading.


* Biology scene where Edward introduced himself to Bella after a couple of weeks that he was gone staying away with Bella. Edward's spinning Bella's mind into confusion trying to be approachable. Campy, camp! camp!

* My heart started beating a mile a minute when his Volvo comes screeching onto the street in Port Angeles where those stupid guys are about to hurt Bella. I liked how in the scenes, they actually had him coming out of the car. I thought it was a bit more believable. I mean, we all know Edward is protective, and has a temper. Of COURSE he'd get out of the car.

* Bella's self Confession: "First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him and I didn't know how potent that part might me - that thirsted for my blood. And third, I WAS UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLE INLOVE WITH HIM. "sigh"

* Even though it is controversial among die-hard Twilighters, I LOVED the scene where he brought Bella home to meet his family. She was being welcomed and loved by the whole family, but Rosalie as an exception.

* Vampire baseball. Cheesy? A little. Campy? A lot. Don't care. Loved it.

* All of the scenes where they were "getting to know each other." They heavily glossed over those parts, but his looking-at-Bella grin makes me grin right back.

* The night when Edward jumped into Bella's room, where they cuddled and teased each other. Bella misbehaved trying to kiss Edward intimately. Edward backing out, stopping his emotions that he might harm Bella.(Love, Love, Love, Love, Love! hahahaha!) But despite Bella's repeated misconduct, Edward's loving him deeply.

* The hunting phase - Edward and Bella parting their ways trying to hide and trick James. Before leaving, their emotional teary eyed moment which is my fave dialogue in the book.
Bella : I love you!
Edward : You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever. You are my life now!

Now, I will not go so far as to say that this is some of the best books I've ever read. They tend to be a little long, and in some cases the situations are over explained.

But it doesn't matter.

I won't tell you much about the books. Now, I'm digging the second book , "New Moon." If you've read them, you know. And if you haven't, at least give the first one a try. They won't be everyone's cup of tea, I'm sure.

(Like, if you're a dude, for example.)

These books are for every girl who has ever loved the wrong guy. The worst possible guy in the world. The one you couldn't get out of your mind, or your heart, or, let's face it, your bed. The guy your parents warned you about.

The guy you were sure could never love you back, no matter what he promised. The guy that would be the end of your innocence, whether you'd been brokenhearted before him or not.

The guy that gave new meaning to "waiting for the other shoe to drop" because that's how you felt every time you were with him. Like it could be the last.

But...what if it didn't have to be that way?

What if that guy could be good, at the same time? What if looks were deceiving? What if he loved you just as much as you loved him? Or...more? What if he took everything you ever thought you believed in, and turned it upside down?

What if everything you ever wanted worked out?

I read these books and I thought about a time when I loved the wrong guy. And I thought about how different my life would've been if that guy had all the characteristics that drew me towards him in the first place, combined with the one that would've kept me close.


I am a strong believer in fate. And I am openminded to the unknown.


I don't think that you can have EVERYTHING you want in life. I think we pick the things that matter the most, and make them our priorities. At least, we should. Sometimes, those priorities get a little out of whack, but we manage to get back on track.

Like me, for example. I spent the last week wishing Hubs was a vampire. Now I just wish he'd stop snoring.

This is my story and I'm sticking to it. =)
