Two of my sisters are in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. One of them has been working in the city for almost three years and the other one for almost two. They earned relatively well which made us able to live quite comfortably. A few months ago, my eldest sister was also dreaming about going to that great Muslim city and tried to persuade me of going there too. When she asked me the ultimate question, I was a little surprised with my response. It was a big NO. "Why?" she asked. For one, I never really dreamed of leaving my comfort zone for anything, especially for money. There was nothing I wanted but to be able to live as comfortably as I can and at the same time be contented with what I have. But that reason was actually not the one that I told my sister. "The Lord's second coming is near," I told her, "and when that time comes, I don't want myself to be surrounded by Arabs." It surprised me and my sister as well. But it was a very truthful an...

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.

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...

My eyes are half-open and tired yet my mind refuses to put me in a deep slumber even if it knows that I badly need a rest from all of these. I have been awake for a little more than thirty-six hours but I can't seem to disassemble my mind, break it into pieces, and try to clear it with everything. I have to think of nothing. I have to focus on nothingness. But the more I try to focus, the more my mind refuses to let go of my imaginations. Yes, I am aware that I am very much imagining things, specifically the scenes from the novel that I am addicted to right now -- Twilight. It started out as a simple curiosity. I have heard my friend, Naomi, tell me things about the novel. I never understood her but I got really curious because she seldom shows me a perfect enthusiasm, or should I say addiction, to novels (except for Harry Potter which I definitely would not read). She sent me an e-mail with pdf files of the four books -- the Twilight Series. I promised her that I would read i...
