Edward & Bella = Robert & Kristen

Would Edward be able to resist killing Bella? Would Bella be willing to give up her life for Edward?


I am more than halfway through the last book of the Twilight Series -- Breaking Dawn. I am expecting to finish it tonight and tomorrow would be a time to hear Edward Cullen's story behind the very bizarre and reason-defying love story of him and Bella Swan. This story has just captivated my mind. Every single thing I think of these days are about Edward and Bella.. and sometimes the funny imprinting of Bella's werewolf best friend Jacob to her and Edward's only half-vampire and half-human daughter Renesmee.

Just like a normal addict (as if being an addict is normal), I haven't stopped just by reading the books. Researches here and there have kept me preoccupied in the last few days. Videos, music, write-ups, pictures.. I have searched the net endlessly as I am waiting for the climax of this addiction. I have watched all of the movies' trailers and that made me even more excited of the movie, which is set to be shown in the theaters the day before I fly out from the country. Hmm.. I would definitely sacrifice packing my things just to sneak out with my friends to watch the movie. I hope I wouldn't be doing that though. I hope that I would finish packing by the 25th.

Edward Cullen, the most powerful and selfless fictional character that I have ever read in my entire life, is being played by London born actor Robert Pattinson. Since I was never a fan of Harry Potter, I have never heard of Robert Pattinson until this movie came along. I looked at some pictures and I was a bit worried if I would be able to come out of the movie house convinced that Robert Pattinson was indeed Edward Cullen. But having watched the trailers, I actually discovered that Rob has done an amazing job in radiating the true character of Edward Cullen. In fact, I found a still shot taken from the movie which convinced me that I would not be worried about Edward's portrayal. Look at this. This is the exact same smile that I have always imagined. This smile only belongs to Edward Cullen.

I feel almost the exact opposite about Bella Swan though. From the pictures, Kristen Stewart who plays Bella Swan is amazingly georgeous. Though the books described her as plain looking, I actually forgave the movie for picking a hot chic to play her role because I myself wanted Bella to be beautiful beyond Edward's imagination, though I know that Edward sees Bella as the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his unusually long life. From the trailers, I haven't seen Bella in Kristen's performance. I thought that she was too strong for the very fragile and helpless character of Bella. But who knows? I have only seen a very small portion of the movie and it is not enough to judge Kristen's performance.

Though I limited my research to Edward and Bella, my eyes caught a name that made this movie even more interesting for me. Guess who? Oh well, Sarah Clarke. Sarah Clarke plays the immature and fickle-minded mother of Bella who is so so in love to her new hubby Phil -- Renee Dwayer. To be honest, I don't know how Sarah would portray that kind of a role and I am really very curious of how she would look like in such a character.

Sarah is a very good actress no doubt. In fact, she is one of my favorite villainess. I can just remember how amazed I was by her transformation as the second-in-command federal agent and former mistress of the superhero Jack Bauer to a cold-blooded, multilingual terrorist. She was definitely a very big part of the success of the heart-stopping series (and one of my addictions too) 24. But an immature mother?! I can't imagine it since I have only seen Sarah do stunts and shoot guns. I know though that she would be able to pull this off.

As early as now, I believe that Twilight would be a big hit. The story is just too powerful to be ignored, not too mention the stellar and star-studded cast of the movie. The actors and actresses performances would certainly be something to watch out for.

A Letter to Elisha Joelle Samarah

My Dearest Elisha, I promised myself that I would write about this day since the very first time I saw your cute tiny face at the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital where I delivered you. I told myself that I would chronicle the events so you would understand how great God is in your life and how you have come to be a miracle in your father and I's lives. However, I cannot tell you everything now for the story of how you came to be is too long for you to understand at the moment and too difficult for me to explain in writing. But, I'm going to try nonetheless, soon, little by little, and hopefully, the chronicles would be complete when you are old enough to comprehend. For now, let me just remember the sweetest yet the most difficult day of my life.  Your father and I did not expect you to come at that point in our lives. I, especially, wanted to achieve a lot of things and did not even think about settling down anytime soon. When I found out that I was pre...

Better Than Ever

While I was riding on a taxi yesterday, I heard someone on the radio greeting his friend (whose name happens to be the same as mine) an advance happy birthday. My sister beside me laughed and said, “It sounds like it’s really for you.” I gave out a grin and suddenly remembered that my birthday is going to be next week. I couldn’t understand if I would be happy because I’ve been blessed with another year again or be dejected because of the fact that I am getting older. But looking at what I was before and what I have become now, I couldn’t help but be grateful and be blissful for the blessings that God has given me. I was born on August 18, 1986, the last of the four children of a couple struggling to keep their marriage. While growing up, I was aloof from all the members of the family and I was always left at home. I was not the typical child who recreates with friends. I was a home buddy and that made me a very shy person who lacks self confidence. The only friend I had was the te...

I Also Know How to Feel

Whenever I look at my nieces and nephew, I could not help but envy them with the kind of life that they have now. They belong to a happy family with their parents genuinely showing them their love and affection. They are not deprived of things that could develop their full potential and they are being raised and molded into a godly character. Thinking about how fortunate they are with their parents, I look back and try to remember how I was as a child. I try to remember what I was like, who were my playmates, which were the things I valued the most and what were the circumstances that made me who I am today. I try to think, but I could not remember anything. It's as if, every memory of my childhood has been erased. A case of selective amnesia? I remember during one of my classes in college, one of the lessons was about personalities of human beings. I could no longer recall the exact lesson but I remember understanding why I am not able to recall anything from my childhoo...
