So what if its valentines day? So what if i was in school and attending lectures. So what if there were lovers everywhere having their moments in valentines day? Whatever. I don’t care. hahahah

This year’s valentines for me was somewhat unusual… .. unique. Unexpected, yet exciting.

I received many gifts today… chocolates and stuff toy, weird huh?! hahahaha… Few years back, i was the one who gave out gifts to people. But this year is different. I dunno what happened. One moment there they were..

Weird. But invigorating. That soul probably do really care for me. This is the first time I received gifts from someone on Valentines Day.

I Didn’t go out. I just stayed at home, and attended class that day. I don’t usually go out on Valentines Day, and its better that way, to avoid those lovers everywhere and sympathize my self. Was that the real reason, or was I just been bitter, resentful? hehehe.. maybe because, most of the Valentines Days I was loveless… and i already get used to in being alone and spend the day at home, watch DVD if not studying.

What ever the reason maybe, I think Valentines Day is overrated. There’s nothing important on Valentines Day. You can always show to your love ones how special and how much you love them everyday, not just on valentines day. You will just make the your neighbor flower shop richer. hahahah.

Its not that im against Valentines Day, I just don’t like whats happening around me every 14th of february. People expect too much! They are so affected! I dont like it. They expect too much that their partner, lover, suitor will take them out for a date TOGETHER WITH OTHER LOVERS outside, when you can do the same days before valentines day or after that… why choose 14th!!

So what if you are loveless. So what if you don’t have a date. So what if no body gave you flowers, chocolates or stuff toys. So what. You still have your friends and families. Share your love to them.

PS.. … Don’t worry, I’ll ask you for a date sometime, BUT not on valentine’s day…. hehehh

How long will you wait for love? – a question that has been running in our mind when we are caught up in a whirl wind of unparalleled love.

Shoot me in the Heart. I will be glad to know that I died because of love.

During my Christmas Vacation, and while i was studying in my bedroom, i’ve been downloading a couple of movies both old and new, in an anticipation of watching them everynight before i go to bed and taking my rest. Looking up in the series of movies released in 2003-2008, i was able to find at least ten (10) films to download. On of which is the movie Love in the Time of Cholera. I know ive heard this movie before and had an idea that this had been an adaptation of a famous novel which traddles the line between pop and art, and manages to be both a bestseller and a literary masterpiece.

Only Last night, that i had the chance to watch this movie, a two-hour movie. In the complex, magical and sensual city of Cartagena, Colombia, a man waits over fifty years for his one true love. As a young man in 19th-century Colombia, Florentino Ariza, a poet and telegraph clerk, discovers his life’s passion when he sees Fermina Daza through the window of her father’s villa. Through a series of passionate letters, Florentino gradually awakens the young beauty’s heart, but her father is furious when he learns of the affair, and vows to keep them apart forever. As the years go by, Fermina marries the sophisticated aristocrat Dr. Juvenal Urbino, who has brought order and medicine to Cartagena, stemming the waves of cholera that mysteriously besiege the city. He sweeps her away to Paris for years, and when they start their lives together back in Cartagena, she has all but forgotten her first love. But Florentino has not forgotten her. Now a wealthy ship-owner, Florentino beds hundreds of women as he tries to get over his undying passion.. His heart is patient, and he will wait a lifetime for the chance to be with her again.

the movie was ok. Is love a disease, as Marquez possibly wanted us to believe? Maybe, but in the case of this adaptation, it’s more of a laughing sickness. Sometimes you’re watching a bad movie, and you’re like, ‘Well, I’m still entertained,’ so I’m recommending it on that sort of level. The film is not boring, considering the simple, tried and true forbidden romance story.

Weirdly proposing sexual excess as the cure for unrequited love, the film has sad sack protag Florentino drowning his sorrows in an endless round of quickies with 623 faceless babes in heat. Well, in the veracity, most of the people do not, inevitably, do it to overwhelm thier sorrows, but instead they find enjoyment and satisfaction in hopping from one bed to another.

“I’d never given much thought to how I would die…. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved.” — Bella Swan, this was the first line in the movie,

“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.” — Bella Swan

I watched the Movie…. Nothing will be the same.

I haven’t read the Book yet. But rumor says that Twilight is the next best Novel Series right after Harry Potter.

I beg to disagree. Seeing the first of the four movie installment, i may say that Twilight series are more matured as compared to Harry Potter. We should not compare the two Novels for they are directed to different facet, different audience, different idea.

Anyway, back to Twilight. I watched it in Gateway Mall last monday, December 01, 2008.

The movie is based on the phenomenal vampire romance book, the Twilight series, by Stephenie Meyer. It revolves around Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, who falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen, played in the movie by Robert Pattinson. It’s a story of passion and restraint. Edward and his family are no ordinary vampires. Calling themselves vegetarians, they’ve sworn to spare humans and instead feed themselves with animal blood.

Right After the movie was shown, so many reviews emerged. There are many mixed reviews of Twilight, this are not due to viewers’ taste or age but rather it depends on whether or not you’ve read the book, and, interestingly, how many times you’ve seen the movie.

I dunno if it was a good thing that I haven’t read the book first before I watched the movie. The truth is, I really enjoyed the movie. I’ve heard among those who read the book first that While they were watching the movie, they didn’t feel the emotions that they felt when they read the book. While the lines were straight from the book, the descriptions and writings that made the book full of suspense were lost in the movie. I dunno about that, but instead I was fascinated, mesmerized.

It did have its benefit of having not read the book first, otherwise I’ll just get disappointed after watching the movie, and will fail to appreciate it. The first installment made me look forward for the next until the end.

The Book

Decades of practice have trained the Cullens to become almost immune to the smell of human blood. Edward himself is about a century old, although he is frozen at 17. They have been so used to their lifestyle that they decided to enroll themselves in high school and mingle with humans. The Cullens are nostalgic about their human lives.

But what happens when after almost a century of his vampire existence, when he thought nothing would surprise him anymore, Edward smells the sweetest human blood.

In the Twilight world, the smell of human blood varies. On rare occasions, a lucky vampire would chance upon a human whose smell would satisfy him the most, like a “personal brand of heroine.” To Edward, that was Bella.

It was difficult enough to stop himself from killing Bella the first time she smelled her blood. When Edward succeeded to control his appetite for her blood, he falls in love with her, an emotion he felt for the first time in a century. First love.

Twilight, the first in the four books of the Twilight series, is an easy book to read. It captivates readers with the eternal suspense on how—and if—Edward can control himself around Bella. One mistake could kill her or turn her into a vampire. Both are unacceptable to Edward. He intends to keep Bella alive, blushing cheeks and pulsating heart. As if it’s not a big challenge already to protect Bella from himself, Edward also has to protect her from the other vampires. She knows the danger but she doesn’t care.

Love me, hate me, dump me, ignore me, hurt me,

Last night’s shroud was filled with clouds, My world was filled with sorrow and heartaches. I couldn’t count all the lonely hours Spent thinking with memories and tears. Changes before seemed remote and I never thought that I could change. Could change so much in so many ways but then I’m still surprise when I look in my mirror, I still can see that i look the same.

You changed my life in an instant, I was so happy. I thought YOU were the one that i have been waiting. But all of this changed in a split second. It was just like a breeze that came so fast and depart right away. It was just temporary.

The night seemed so long, i can’t sleep at all. All the memories came rushing inside my head, happy, sad, exciting, memorable – they all came and i cant do anything it but to entertain them which made my night so disturbed and i was agitated.

I don’t know why YOU did this, I gave you my time, my love, my life and my all. Still you seemed not to be contended with what you have with me, and YOU are still looking for that something that I really don’t have any idea about, what reason YOU have for breaking my heart, for what reason YOU have for paying no heed, for disregarding the months that we had. Reason that only you will and can know.

a friend told me that if you found a love that made you change in a good way, hold on tight to that love for its the kind of love that is worth keeping.

but then, This is the end of the road for us, YOU did it! and that will be the last.

and the award for the best liar goes to you
For making me believe that you could be faithful to me
Let’s hear your speech out

And don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertainin’
But it’s over now (but it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow
Ohhh…
