Twilight Saga: New Moon

After a long wait, last week me, friend Mojo and shop-mate Adnan went out the Friday night to have a date with the Cullens. Sigh! It was worth the wait since it showed up a year after Twilight.

We’re happy because it was shown here earlier. I was expecting that it’ll be shown in the cinema first week of December just like Twilight, but I guess they changed their minds since it was officially stated that it will be shown 26th of November in UAE. I guess they don’t like to be left behind that’s why they showed it earlier. Good thinking.

 

Adnan and I arrived at the cinema past 7:30pm and we took a reservation for 11pm. While waiting for Mojo, we went roaming around for 2 hours. He was forced to treat me at Haggen Daaz, a delicious dessert waffle Ice cream was served. Hehe! Thanks Adnune for the advance birthday treat.

So what’s the feedback with the movie? Of course, if I were to rate from 10, I’ll give twice the stars. I’m so biased noh? Hehehe!

A year of waiting for it is worth it. I so love every scene! I can easilly relate to the story this time since I’ve read the book already unlike before, I was still asking questions about the story. On why and how and who. Because I read the book after seeing the movie. It made me think and asked too much from friends who knows a lot from it. But this time, all gears are ready to go. That I’m even telling my dates on how and why they have to that and those. Haha!

Can’t wait for Eclipse. Countdown starts now. June 2010, save the date fellow Twilighters.

This is me and Mojo + her caramel popcorn, hehe!

This is me and Adnune before the start of the movie. Peace to all daw, hehe!

Grand Slam Popcorn Taker

I’m so proud that our all time favorite Vampire movie won most of the awards for this year’s MTV Music Awards 2009. Here’s the link. They took 5 out of 12 awards. Totally not bad!

TWILIGHT took:

Best Movie Winner

Best Female Performance Winner

Breakthrough Performance Male Winner

Best Kiss Winner

Best Fight Winner

And here’s a shot where they launch the official New Moon Trailer. Saying this the Kristen way “It’s awesome!”

New Moon

It’s official! I’m so over excited for this! For sure, it will come out December 2009 here in Qatar. Even if, it’s worth the wait! What I just don’t like about this poster is that Jacob is in-between Bella and Edward. They made it too obvious that there will really be a love triangle in this story. I don’t like the first 4 or 6 chapters of the book – I think, coz “Fafa” Edward is not in the scene. Ugh! I hate Jacob for this, but I guess it’s part of the story. Who am I to judge the book anyway? Hehe!

Breaking Dawn

Well, I’m on last book as we speak. Breaking Dawn really did it this time! For the last 3 books, I’ve cried only once – Eclipse, the part where Edward left Bella and she was left alone in the forest, until of course Sam found her. But now, shucks! The first chapter where Bella narrated the story on how sweet (oh my!) Edward asked the permission of Bella’s father – Charlie, for marriage! My heart melted. My tears just chop down without me noticing. Good thing Hubby’s not around, or else he will totally cackle at me, hihi!

Second part was during the wedding. Of course all women cries whenever they see someone walking the aisle. I’ve never experienced such thing, reason why I was so emotional with that part. Bella saying her goodbyes to her parents and friends. Shucks! Edward kissing her for the first time – oh men! And lastly, so “kilig” when Edward, for the first time – called her “Mrs. Cullen” – ugh! Butterfly stomach to the maximum level!

Third was when Bella found out that she was pregnant. Again, I remember myself the time I found out that I was pregnant. Silly but it’s true. It scares the hell out of me. Afraid of course of the responsibility, but with Bella – once more it’s totally different of course. Who would ever think a vampire can still produce those things? No one! Haha!

Funny part of me reading this whole Twilight Saga happened last night. I was reading the part of Jacob’s. I got bored obviously. I’m not a Jacob fan! Haller! Anyhow, so when Jacob went to the Cullen’s place to kill them – first plan, I was like “What?!” and when Edward spoke to him about some deals, I was like again “What?!!”. So at once – I really can’t wait for the part, I texted a dear friend all the way down to Canada who have just finished reading the Twilight Saga and right away asked her what will happen next. Questions on my mind floating like denden-denden-denden-den (with a tune of Shark the movie soundtrack). I can’t wait to know what will happen next, and it was like killing me. I needed to know what will happen in order to cool myself. Well, so now I know the ending – kill joy? Of course I will still read the book up until the last page. No thrill? There will still be – for me. At least now, I will not freak out like what’s happening. It came to a point wherein I can’t stop reading until I found out what will happen next that’s why I texted her and waited for her reply.

Last night, I slept 4am – just because of chapter 8, hehe!

Now back to reading mode. Ciao!

My Twilight Saga

I’ve been dying to blog about my first ever collectibles. So proud to have it – though I only have the Soft bound, it’s much better rather than nothing. What matters is the story under the cover, right? A big thanks to my co-workers Joana and Ishlyn and Terette Pamski (all the way from Canada) for sending me a soft copy as well – PDF formats.

Last January 2009, Virgin Megastore called me up to inform me of the Book 4 which is Breaking Dawn. Well, I don’t have the Book 1 yet but I might as well buy it since I know they’ll call me up for it in the future anyway.

February 2009, they called me for Book 1 and 2 – Twilight and New Moon, at the same time. During this time, I’ve already finished with Twilight since Joana lend me hers for the mean time – Thanks Mojo!

March 2009, my Twilight Saga is complete. I just noticed now that I arranged it the way I had the book, hehe!Twilight Saga

Just a fact: it’s so hard to find a PLASTIC COVER for books here in the Middle East especially here in Qatar! All their book covers are not the same in the Philippines – you know the shiny one. Here it’s always adhesive. Guess where I was able to find plastic covers? Believe it or not, I was able to buy it from the Flower Shop! Yes, you read it right. Isn’t it that flowers are being wrapped with a plastic cellophane, well that’s what I used to cover the last 3 books of my Twilight Saga. I covered Breaking Dawn again – just to make all the same. This is what you called – as per Jacob “obsessive-compulsive disorder”, hehe!

I’m currently reading Eclipse now, but since I’m a full time Mommy to Bb Julia, I’m just reading 3 or 4 pages every morning on my way to work. So slow, hehe!

Recently, just before Mom left, Mohammed informed me that Virgin Megastore released their DVD Collection for Twilight with Disc 2 featuring deleted and never before scenes. This is really a must have on my list. So, Mohammed gave me this as a post birthday gift. Thanks Hamude!Twilight DVD

The DVD has Arabic subtitle – so Hubby was able to enjoy watching it for the 2nd time also.Twilight DVD

Here are some photos to share.  Bella & Edward

I’ve seen Twilight for 5 or 6 times already, and I don’t feel bored at all. Even Julia watched with me the last time I played it. I think she likes Bella too – hehe!Disc One Disc Two

My Vintage Ring

I’ve been waiting for these for exactly 1 month and 2 weeks. It arrived yesterday.

Will forever hold in my heart – my vintage gold tone filigree with faux turquoise ring I ordered for the first time at Etsy. I love the style and the unique curve of it. I’ve been keeping in touch with the seller since 1st week of March coz I thought it lost its way here to Qatar. The seller was patient enough to calm me down, hehe! A big thanks to Ms Kristi.vintage1

Just like an imitation of Bella’s cuff in Twilight. Shucks! Twilight fever strikes again!vintage2
