An Awsome Day

Today i went with my parents to watch an awsome movie - Disney's A Christmas Carol.... it was truly uh-MAZING... the animation was so well done, it was totally worth the rm51 my dad had to pay for the movie in 3D... =)

I really admire Disney productions... even a classic tale that has been done a million times in many different versions is no match for their creativity.. this movie is my favourite version of this story...
What's more, before the start of the movie, i found out that there's a whole lot of other great movies coming up that are a MUST see.... especially Toy Story 3.... *squeel*

After the awsome movie, went to Marche's restaurant for an awsome lunch! which actually didn't leave me feeling so awsome because i ate too much... heh-heh.

When leaving the awsome restaurant, i saw this guy wearing an awsome t-shirt with an awsome quote on it!!!


Ha! that's just genius....

Before going home, we went to this awsome japanese shop where everthing is rm5 and they have all this awsome weird stuff that you never thought you needed till you saw it.

Of course, i just had to stop by a bookstore before going back so i went into MPH to try and buy my mom's Christmas present which is Have a Little Faith by this awsome writer Mitch Albom.


 i also got an awsome version of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet which has awsome extras like Juliet's story by Jacqueline Ritten and "What if Romeo and Juliet lived now and had Facebook".... yea........
it's basically just cashing in on the whole Twilight thing... there was even Withering Heights...



urgh... they spoilt the cover....

oh yea! before the movie we stopped by Nichii where i picked up an awsome black dress which i've been looking for...
Really an awsome day.......

OH CRAP!!! Twilight the movie is on tonight on tv!!! kill me now!!!!!!!!!!!

Gossip Girl - it was named PERFECTLY


For the first time ever since it was released i watched an episode of Gossip Girl. (Late i know) And i LOVED it!!! NOT.
i saw in the Tv guide of the Star new paper that Gossip Girl that night (Wed - 14/10) would be about some Snowflake Ball thingy. I THOUGHT that would be interesting to watch since it was a dance thingy and dance thingys involve pwetty dress and i LOVE pwetty dress and glitter and anything that sparkles...... (*Bimbo Alert*).
Anyway, i thought it was gonna be good. I was So wrong... it was SO predictable. and SO overrated. it was worse than One Tree Hill!!! im convinced the only reason people watch it is for the fashion and the gorgeous actors (which i cant deny) and thats all.
Storyline? WHat Storyline??? the never-ending exchanging of partners and one-night stands???
Ooohhh!!! RIVETING!
Its sad actually... quite sad. In fact, i'd rather watch the Hills. at least they dont have characters coming back from the dead.
Im thinking the books must be slightly better but im not so sure now.
WHY, OH WHY are these tv people torturing us with these stupid shows!
where's Ugly Betty??? Heroes??!!?! and CHuck!!! what ever happened to Chuck!
now THAT's a show to watch. Story of a guy that has all of the most top secret files imprinted on his brain? now THAT's a stroy.... XP plus, i never saw the episode featuring Nicole Richie!!!

stupid book.....

(i say that with lotsa love. srsly.)

I am talking about.... The Host.
Yes.. for the third or forth night in a row, i went to sleep (reluctantly) at nearly two in the morning...
It's worst than with Twilight!!!
not that The Host will outrank Twilight in my favs but its certainly up there with the best.
With Twilight i was afraid of reading too fast because i didnt want it to end... but with The Host, the writing is so smooth that i just cant find a place to stop!
i constantly say to myself "ok, just until i find out what happens after this"
of course then something else happens and the statement continues... thus, leaving me even more irritated with the need for sleep and wishing to that we didnt need to sleep so often...

and so in my irritation i scolded my book saying, "Stupid book..." and i truly did say it with love and admiration.... =)

To all the people that scream "Crazy!"



This is for all the girls that fell in love with the image of Edward Cullen. This is to all the people that laugh and think we’ve lost our minds.....


I don’t see why people should think / call those that are in love with Edward Cullen crazy or foolish (though I’ll admit some are crazier than others). Whats so wrong about wanting someone like Edward Cullen? Because he’s not realistic?


Well that’s not OUR fault.


The image of Edward Cullen that we (most of us) fall in love with is not all about the striking Greek god looks, the sparkling skin, his money, the fact that he’s a vampire or even the supernatural powers (although those are pretty appealing). We aren’t stupid; we know that stuff isn’t possible.


It’s the chivalry!!! The personality of a gentleman, the utter selflessness he possesses. It’s about the fact he can love someone, Bella, so completely. We want THAT.


Bella and Edward have a relationship based on LOVE, not passion. Love; pure and simple. And so strong! And that’s what is lacking in the society today. What is lacking in the boys we see (most of them). It’s a classic saying that “Boys are only after one thing” and it’s all too true. We are tired of women being portrayed as sex symbols. Instead, we want to be attractive not because we’re “hot” or “sexy” or even confident and outgoing, but because of us. Who we are.


And as much as we would like it, we’re not looking for someone that lives entirely for one person (that would be so romantic but clearly improbable). Edward Cullen has nothing else to live for, and honestly that kind of obsession might be a little scary.... coming from a human. =)


So I dont think guys or other people should tell us to get over this big fantasy of our very own Edward Cullen. Because it IS possible for a guy to be chivalrous, most just dont care enough. All the guy has to do is get the personality right, we’ll add the glitter... =)


For someone to love you and only you so entirely and honestly, not see anyone else, who wouldn’t want to experience that? Huh? The idea of finding someone so perfect for you, THAT’s what we hope to find, hope to achieve.....


Bella was a simple girl and Edward loved her so completely, THAT is what is so appealing about the story. Seeing them convince the other of who loves them more and sacrificing what they can to make the other happy.


THAT is what this crazy fan girl wants... but i guess it IS impossilble cause there isn’t a guy like that out there right? =)


Of course, who wouldn’t want EDWARD CULLEN, whole and true the full package. Might as well aim high right? Oh well, I still have my books...
Hey! Maybe more guys should read the books & get a few pointers on how to treat a lady?

My new and improved "Bella's Bracelet"





In a previous post i mentioned the "Bella's Bracelet" that I made for myself... http://dzworld-heartbeat-of-life.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-bellas-bracelet.html








But then it was just a heart and it wasnt even permanently attached... haha.




So now i redid the whole thing and it looks great....




I went on Ebay and got copper wolf charms, and bought a new shinier swarovski crystal heart. I also changed the bracelet which is now more charm bracelet-ish... :D








Ta-Daa!!!











And then i turned the heart from the previous bracelet into a keychain. Along with anothe wolf charm and an apple... Unfortunately it isnt red but oh well... beggers cant be choosers.... The heart actually looks better here after i removed the back =)




but now i have 15 other wolves and no idea what to do with them.... HAHAHAHA!

Darkness after the Dawn

i finished reading my Breaking Dawn book at 1.47 a.m. , this morning.....
I finished Breaking Dawn!!!!!!!!! Oh No........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What am i going to do now?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!????!!!!??!!!

p/s :- One or more drafts of the up coming Midnight Sun have been unfortunately leaked into the internet by someone close to Stephenie Meyer. because of this Stephenie has decided NOT to publish Midnight Sun indefinitely...... the reason she gave was that in her current state of mind, she couldnt possibly continue because she would probably end up changing the plot of the story, which "wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story" - Stephenie M. (read more on her website) http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/
i am heartbroken by this......Crying 1 and i really hope for the sake of my sanity and the many other obsessive Edward fans, that she will change her mind eventually and that there are more Twilight related books to come...... Doofus

Breaking Dawn!!!!!!!!! *sceaming in high-pitched girlie tone*


ok..... yes i'm a highly addicted Twilight fans but i didnt really go screaming around the bookstore when i saw Breaking Dawn on the shelves.... i've just been waiting for it for like... 5 months, and been visiting the countdown site everyday for like a two weeks (there were daily quotes ok!)...Hurry Up
no big deal right? my heart did skip a beat but for the most part i kept quite cool... Cool
i was disappointed when i found out that the hardcover books haven't arrived yet.... Kicking Dirt
when i asked the girl there she said it might not come till next week and that was a "maybe"... ONE WEEK! i dont think i could have last that long and there would have been alot of emotional stress the people around me... mayb even physical, i cant be hold responsible for my actions.... (really, i didnt scream... not at the bookstore anyway....)
so to save a lot trouble i got the paperback instead at a discount from Borders (20% off at least)..

anyway, im planning to get the hardcover book later.. mayb at christmas... so if anyone want to get my paperback version form me at less than half price let me noe k?

Twilight

I think i have just read my most favourite series of books EVER.... They are the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer. The first book is Twilight, the second is New Moon and the third is Eclipse.







I truly recommend this book to every girl interested in a life changing love story... ^-^ Guys could learn a few things from this book as well... Though they might use their new found knowledge against us... u should really give credit to any guy that would be willing to read all of those books (as i've learnt boys aren't to keen on reading) just to learn how to treat a girl.... or as sung by Jojo
"how to touch a girl"

This book amazingly describes a dream love experience that we could only dream would come true... unfortunately for us girls....
Stephenie Meyer should be punished, for getting us addicted and crazy about her books and especially Edward, by forcing her to write more books!!! I can imagine myself walking over to the teen section of a bookstore when im in my twenties searching for her latest book.... lol.
Bella is a fine description of a somewhat ordinary and imperfect girl that is able to attract the most amazing of creatures... a vampire.. particularly Edward. These books takes out all the feeling of horror and fear of vampires and replaces them with the feeling of love and wonder.... making u wish vampires truly exist!!! wats more.. stephenie doesnt use the typical discription of the vampires that u see in the movie's.... but i wont reveal too much since you might not have read the book... but i assure u wont be dissapointed by wat u read... only maybe the fact the it lacks more pages of it(the story)....
This book is really addictive as i have found out in many chat rooms... most have read the books more than once and some have read one of the books at least a dozen times or more.... i myself have read the 1st book twice and im still resisting the urge to read it again... haha.
There are also a number of quotes the will remain in your heart and mind for a very long time. Stephenie's use of words are sometimes difficult to understand but they make a very big impact... one of my most favourite is
"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..."

you may not understand it till u read the book but reading this made me sigh inside... actually most of the book made me sigh....
in short.... i LOVE the Twilight series, i LOVE Edward and i THANK Stephenie Meyer for her hard work and for publishing it... It really changed lives.... <3
