My TWILIGHT Experience

November 26. The day every girl in the Philippines has been waiting for. The very day, our beloved vampire in a shiny Volvo will hit us in the heart with his mighty smile. The favorite crooked smile we love. And YES, I must admit, I was one of them. And today is the day, a few hours away, I will see that very smile of his. The excitement is killing me. :)

Wednesday morning. It was a very fine day, I woke up with no sign of stress and discontent (because I think I slept so well, unlike those past few days), I went to the balcony first thing in the morning, and surprised that there was the sun and it’s drizzling at the same time. I hurriedly texted my GERZ: “ulan-init, pista sa langit... pista sa langit kay opening sa twilight.” It was funny to say that though, but I can’t help myself from sharing all the excitement I felt especially with only a few hours away. Anyhoo… I hurriedly took a shower and all, and met with Jen at Roxas Benches (as expected, I was somehow LATE; because Jen was expectedly EARLY, LOL peace friend!:)) and then raced ourselves to SM.

It was 10:40am and we were the first ones there. The ticket counter reads: 11:40am, for the first showing and releasing of tickets. Great! We were an hour early, so Jen and I went to McDo first to take our lunch (since she was hungry and she did not ate the night before). Even when we were eating the excitement we felt never failed, we were jumpy, looking around and watching those people who are potentially Twilight-addict and that are also racing with us to get tickets. So we flew ourselves after eating to the ticket counter and wait for the tickets to be released. While waiting in line, Rab (our classmate) saw us, surprised that he did not even tease us, I commented: “I bet, sungogon na pud ta ana sa school” (I bet, he will tease us when we see each other at school). LOL :)

And yes, the suspense grew intense when they handed down the first ticket. The girl who got hold of it shouted with joy, she was very amazed though, I don’t know. Okay, let’s not dwell on the next.

Anyway, it was a blast, for the very first in my life I have never felt excited about a movie before. Yes, I have looked forward to different kinds of films and genres and all, especially romantic films, but nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Not since Hana Kimi Japan Series, but that was different though. When we got hold of our tickets, I was like, WOW we got here Jen, we were here, and we were the first ones here. After serious months of waiting, we were finally here. So Jen and I hurried ourselves inside, we were the first ones there and people are still coming in the theatre house, some of them were shouting, well I understand, I will probably do the same, haha. :)

As the National Anthem was sung, and a LOT of advertisements and trailers were being shown, Jen and I can’t help ourselves from getting restless in our seats. It was like, we were getting ready from being blown away by something (or someoneJ) BIG, something huge. Like you are getting ready for your death... haha. J Anyway, there were a LOT of ads there; I can remember trailers and ads from lancer, women, watchmen, fast and the furious, kamiseta, shaolin girl, underworld and so much more. And then it stopped.

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT, it reads. The crowd was shouting. It was intense, it’s here. This is it. (When I mean CROWD, I mean, US too, LOL) As Bella’s voice was heard, the crowd was busy focusing, trying to keep the excitement and the “kilig” to themselves. Trying to keep their attention to every bit, but still can’t help themselves. It was fun.

TWILIGHT, it read again. And the crowd was cooperative, they were wild, shouting. From time to time, as every scene was getting closer to HIM, my heart keeps on pounding. And it happened, in the cafeteria, when Jessica introduced to Bella the family. It was perfect; they were first seen in the window before they entered the cafeteria door. As each character came in after the other, my heart is now ready to explode (especially with the crowd is shouting with you, God, it was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode ANY SECOND NOW). Rosalie and Emmett came in first, followed by the ever graceful Alice and Jasper. And the crowd stopped… waiting, for that last being to come in. . . 3,2,1. . . Whoosh!!! There he was, his smile caught US, my heart almost died! It was the most exciting, most “kilig”, the grandest entrance I have ever seen, especially with the crowd shouting with you, it was WOW! A total BLAST, I forgot to breathe! *sigh, I coped up… it was stupendous! Hooo… I was BLOWN AWAY and I mean, literally, haha. :)

Moments passed and the crowd was focusing on the movie, every now and then they would shout. And the next thing I know, whoosh, I was again blown away… CARLISLE. I mean, WOW… that entrance was FAST but breathtaking, he was THE BOMB, and HOT I might add. The crowd went wild I could even feel the floor shaking. It was amazing. :)

The movie was great, until in the end, I was blown away. The director did a very good job portraying the story although it was, sort of, too compressed and the editing was not very good because there were still annoying scenes and transitions in it, not to mention some cinematic flaws recognized by my friend Jen (:)). BUT STILL… It was perfect, Stephanie Meyer and Catherine Hardwicke did a pretty good job with it. And yeah, Stephanie Meyer was in the movie, have you recognized her? Jen did. My eyes were busy focusing to Bella, LOL. Trust me; you will know it’s her. J (Comments will be published in my Twilight Movie Review, watch out for it. Thanks!)

Twilight is now included in my Most Favorite Movie of all time – next to or on top of A walk to remember. The very movie I will NEVER forget and I will always love. Edward Cullen: The modern-day Mr. Darcy (Expect this to be in my next blog! Next topic aiyt?:)).

Anyway, since we can’t help but love the movie and everything in it. We watched it TWICE. And we experience the excitement, shouting, and “kilig”, whatever it is, all over again. It was great, a perfect day I will always remember. Thank God for this. *GRIN*

So, ‘til next blog… ttfn! Thanks… bye! Balik-balik po :D

NOTE: Words that are italicized are not mine, these are the lines I quoted from the book and are spoken or felt by the characters. However, the ones with quotation marks in it are spoken and sometimes in a dialect language. In case you haven’t noticed. :D Thank you.

This Girl.

I can’t sleep... I finished reading this simple, f****** piece from a guy who has simply broken a piece of a girl’s fragile heart. And now I can’t sleep, can’t sleep thinking about it… and i just can’t help myself not to remember. My mind is playing tricks on me, and i just hate it that way... i hope someday he will feel the same way she felt that day, it felt like a million ship just sunk within her at the same time... every time!!! Its so sad being her... its so sad knowing someone like her... so sad that once in EVERY girl's heart, she has felt something like this. I just wish I can help her.

"Oh I hate you now, i hate you more than i love you, i hate what i feel right now!!! i hate this crap, I just hate it when I realize I was once THIS GIRL!!!"

Baby Kronk.

Cute, isn't it? This is Baby Kronk from the the movie Kronk's New Groove, the sequel to the animated feature film The Emperor's New Groove. Well, you might be wondering what's this pic doing here, aiyt? well... you see, I Loove "baby" kronk so much 'coz he's like the CUTEst thing ever (next to pooh, love him too☺). And aside from his cuteness, I used the character's names as my codenames to people. So, they are kinda connected to me now. Anyhoo.. We have our own yzma... but he's a boy though, and as selfish as yzma (bwahaha☺). We have our Kuzco, my rich-vainiac classmate who only thinks about himself. Kronk, Maleena (dont mind the spelling) and so on☺. Anyway, that's beside my point. LOL. Well to my surprise, I just can't find a picture of him from everywhere even from diff search engines in the web (idk bout you, but i haven't found one☺).

As you can see... it's not even the best pic aiyt? His cuteness was not emphasized This was emaild to me by my good friend Totie, and i don't know where in the world did she get this picture. Oh well... better make it my desktop wallpaper now. Grab it if you want though, its not mine.☺ So, good aftie... everybody! 'til next time.. ttFN.ü

Stress. Unwind. Movies. Creepy. Fun.

SEPT3. After a stressful day of music-vid-viewing trauma, and a week of video editing, midterm exams and results; Jen, Flyn and I decided to just take the afternoon off and head directly to the mall (since it rained and SM is too far na, we have no payong u know☺) a few minutes after my class in history. We went there to see a movie for us to unwind and think of nothing else for quite some time… It really was a busy week, and a movie would be a perfect solution to our hungry souls’ addiction for movie marathons. College life isn’t that fun you know when it comes to movie-marathon addicts like us… It’s not gonna be like it was before when you can watch 7-10 movies a week… I know I have, and it was the best time then. But now? We can only watch movies once in a blue moon. It’s stressing right? But what can we do… we’re just students who are trying to finish deadlines and stuff. Anyway, that’s beside the point, got carried away again, haha ahm, ☺

Okay, back at the mall, we bought large popcorns and hurried to cinema 4 to watch Rouge in action. And… ask why? Well, you know me (you will know now) I love to watch suspense, thriller, and horror movies in cinemas for one reason I know… that is so I can SHOUT my lungs out. Since that’s the only place I can do that (Aside from college fiestas when you are supporting your team, you can really shout… I mean A LOT). It’s like you are trying to shout out the deep feelings that you have inside. Like you are trying to get out the anger in you when you are mad in a way of shouting it and giggling all over (it’s fun though, haha). And… the best part? You REALLY can shout your lungs out in movie houses because it’s dark, loud and well you’re not the only one who is shouting… so, it’s fun… it really is, trust me. You don’t believe me? Why not try it yourself… Well movies can do that you know, even not through shouting and watching horror movies and all but it can help you MOVE ON from that feeling you have now by just watching. It’s something movies can do, movies can help you, they do, trust me… I know, uhm can I say a lot? Okay, A LOT.

Anyway, just for the sake of a movie review? Uhm, It was OKAY though… but if want to “shout” (like what I explained above) it was kind of lousy… I don’t know, I just think so! It was not THAT amazing so I really can’t expand the talk and all… sorry! Hehe

Oh yeah right… and another thing. During the last parts, we remembered Sir Gary’s words on not to skip the credits part of the show (since it is disrespectful). So Jen and I decided to stay. Moments later, a weird guy appeared guy right beside us. She was looking at us at some point, and suddenly sits a seat apart from Jen. And then he was like carrying a rectangular box, trying to make it seat to that chair beside him. And then he was like, “pakibantay sa ko dai ha” and left for a while and come back with an empty can, and then he keeps looking at us like he was some kind of a pervert or maybe he was planning something… I don’t know. Like eeeww, creepy right? We thought it was a bomb or whatsoever so we hurriedly left even without finishing the credits of the movie (sorry for that, heheh☺). That guy really crept us out. Eeew… weird stuffs happenin’ around (especially the mall, hahah you know what I mean Jen, hehe). Hahahai, ewan, what’s happening to the world?? Hahah awh, what the hell… it was fun though! (I think, heheh)

Have a nice life everyone… ‘Til Next Blog!! TTFN… ☺

Depressing much.

SEPT2. Weee… my first blog in a lifetime. Hahah, NOT! I have a lot of this… stuff, but i’ve stopped since i’ve been busy and all. Anyhoo… since I started this, I think I’m obliged to do this every once in a while so here goes… (LOL)

To start things of, I have this DEPRESSING experience these past few days. You see, our project for midterms is to have our very own music videos with good editing and all. I was very excited then because I am very fond of conceptualizing and all that, so I came up with a perfect one for “Wait for You” by Elliot Yamin (except the fact that it was KIND OF dedicated for someone,) even before I added the class subject. But then, everything turned out unexpectedly, there were some things that didn’t turn out right and I was so disappointed, even after I conceptualized my second one. Until I have learned from my friend the perfect song “Yesterday” by Leona Lewis. But I really wasn’t blaming anybody (really!)… It’s just that circumstances come, and we should be ready for it to happen. My final song was perfect, and I imagined the way it was going to happen, as perfect as the first video I had in mind. The effects, transitions, the video, the setting and all; like I was watching it in my head even before it was being put into a video.

But as I always say, life does funny things to annoy us (heheh,☺). When circumstances came, everything is not the same. And I was like in hell because of it. You see, when I first planned to shoot my vid, fuckn’ circumstances happen, and guess what, it was my 2ND worst enemy, the RAIN (did I mention I hated rain since… forever? Okay, now I did). And now I despised it even more. Every time I plan to shoot my vid, this FUCKN’ RAIN will come. If not the rain, my models don’t have free time and all. And the worst thing of all, I do not have a MAC, I mean, yeah, I have a laptop and all but what can I do?? I wasn’t informed that they were not compatible with MACs (well actually someone told me they DO, so I didn’t do anything about it. And now what? Everything is sooo not right, sigh!). Now, I have to suffer for two whole days in the editing bay just to get my vid done (and A LOooT more days with no sleep, and depression, LOL, bitaw!). And tingnan moh nga naman, just when you thought something was perfect, NA.ERASE ko lang naman ang raw material ko noh? Nung first afternoon na nag edit kami (Tuesday, grr)… And I was sooo pissed off. ‘Coz I already added it into the final intro and I can never bring the perfect one back, again (so now you can say my intro is a mess, in other words DINALIAN, and… pinagbuntungan ng galit? Haha, grrr). And so, what do you expect?? NA.PRESSURE lang naman ko ug taman2 the next day anoh… buti nalang sir was very kind, he extended the deadest deadline. So whole day din, we were editing, starving and absent from our classes. Hahai..

Now see what I mean? What have I done before to suffer this fuckn’ stuff now?? I mean… ing.ana na jud diay ko ka bad before? And now I have to pay the price? Ahahhaahhahah I’m nuts, am I not?? Hhaahai life… I do not know what to do anymore since then… So I said to myself, “Come what may”. So I did, but I think (hahah you think? grrr) it didn’t turn out that good just like the way I planned it. Guess you can’t have everything you want. Hmmm…

But you know what, everything happens for a reason right? But why haven’t I got any explanation from it? I mean, sure, things don’t go your way every time but, why? Bakit ito pa? Of all… this video is very important to me, why? ‘Coz firstly, this is my first vid, and I want it to be special since I really liked the song and the concept. Secondly, because my expenses have gone in large numbers. It was hard as hell for me, seeing your work didn’t pay off. Anyway, lastly, for some reasons, you must not know, heheh (cge nalang gud! It’s something funny… heheh not funny na haha but funny na amazing). And to think, I worked hard for it (okay lang unta qng wala keh chox lang, but NO, I did work hard for it) but this FUCKN’ CIRCUMSTANCES keeps inviting itself in the picture. Grrr… kasuya! Awh, cge nalang, it’s part of God’s plan (and I just can’t figure out what it is), and I know He has a good reason for it. ☺

Anyhoo… to conclude things off, I would like to say… always “expect the unexpected”, always (well, unless if your motto in life is “think positive”, they kind of contradict, explain soon, hehe awh). You never know what destiny has for you, so don’t expect too much, because DISSAPOINTMENT is painful. It’s the worst thing anyone could have these days… mahal ang bugas! Hahah awh, sa daw? Heheh I hate that line.

So till here everyone. Kung naka relate mo padayon gang… balik2 ha?? And thanks for reading. Kung wala, awh… thanks for reading pa rin, naka abot mo dire na part sa akong blog (I know you skipped some parts… dibuh? Hmmm kaw ha, heheh). So seeyah then, hope I’m not busy this week to chika and to share my thoughts and all. So, ‘till next blog?! Heheh Tatah everyone… have a nice life!!!

PS. Comment if you want me to explain the “expect the unexpected”-contradicting skems of things (it’s just my insight on things, hahah philo, awh) it’s kind of tiring you know… hehe.  And don’t mind the grammar and all, everyone, heheh cge nalang gud! ☺

Note: I WASN’T explaining my side (or what happened), nor blaming anyone (or nagpaDUNGOG2, bitaw!), nor hurting anybody (or am I? hahah I hope not). Awh bitaw… I just want to share my thoughts and what’s in my heart… char! And… for the sake of blogging?? Aiii… soreee!! Heheh cge nalang gud!! Awh, thanks for understanding… heheh bleeh… ‘Til next blog!!! -MOOCH
