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

Give WHAT on Christmas Day?
