Will someone bite me please?

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Will someone bite me please?

“No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.”

Edward Cullen

True, but one should not take it literally. There’s always tomorrow for the “perfectness” to continue. Also, it can be taken on a more positivetone: No matter how horrible a day is, it will end, and then there’s tomorrow for another attempt for a perfect day. Sounds uplifting huh?

The vampire series has been on the market for a long time already (my sister has read all four books three time already!)…but I haven’t really gotten to read it. My sister has a complete set and has been forever telling me to at least try to read it (I’d rather try bunjee jumping or those Mexican recipes). I most of the time just roll my eyes at her and say, “I don’t read vampire books…I have no interest in them.” But that was before.

During my recent trip to France, having nothing to do, I started the second book; yes, the second one. Let me tell you what happened to me. I was at the Lourdes, France, train station when I started it. I was so absorbed that, when I looked up from the book, it had to take a minute for me to reailize where I was. Yes, I actually thougt I was in Forks! I was so immersed…so into it. The book was unbelievable. It was enough to get me hooked.

I just finished the first book, Twilight, in just a day, and I absolutely, 100% loved it. Makes one wonder…can vampires actually be real? Are they living among us?

And, more importantly, I want to know, are vampires really as perfect as they are portrayed in the books? Do they really love and protect their loved ones the way they do in the book?

Will someone bite me please?

On to the third book!!!

We were at Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street, the other day and we bought the first three books! I’m currently halfway there (ok, almost halfway), and I must say that it’s starting to look interesting.

Hahhaa, bitten by the The Twilight Series huh? Sinta gave away her books to me and I must say they are heavenly, ironic huh… I bought the last book na rin, Sinta only bought three kasi and does’nt want them at all, i wondered why, and she’d love for people to get it before she finds it in the junk, so I have the complete set na…

I am a “sucker” for vampires. I really love the Vampire Chronicles of Anne Rice, and I absolutely adore my beloved vampire Lestat!

To be a beautiful creature and have all those powers are really enticing, but vampires are hardly perfect. They are always in the search for happiness and redemption (for being what they are). Plus, I don’t want to live until the end of the world, “eternal solitude” as they say. Life has its meaning precisely because it is short.

Although I would love to have the time to see the world evolve and study as many cultures as I can, it’s still wonderful to be human.

Steph, I certainly hope you won’t be disappointed. And I hope you’ll love it as we did.

Rico, tapusin mo na! You might finish a book in a day! (As if…with all the work we have.).

Sheng, yes, I’m hooked. Tapos mo na ba all four books? Did you get yours free? If that’s the case, ang swerte mo naman.

Mordsith, I know you know vampires more than I do…you’ve been in love with them for years, so I trust when you say they are not perfect. And, as you are, I am still into mortality…I just want to know what it’s like. I love what you said, that life has its meaning because it’s short. Hmmm…magawan nga ng post.
