Aga and Lila video
I decided to make another video. This is what you can expect from them in an ordinary day. I do hope they both get along famously forever and ever like this. Forever.
Things I read recently:
Twilight (Stephenie Meyer)
[Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, partial draft of Midnight Sun from Stephenie's website, a few extras and outtakes from Stephenie's website]
I think almost everyone I know now knows I'm obsessed with Edward Cullen and anything Twilight. I can't wait to watch the movie.
A friend told me when she was reading Twilight, "Why did Edward tell Bella his 'condition'? Look at how decent Superman for example, he never told Louis Lane about his 'condition'. He kept her in the dark. Edward told Bella so easily, as if the secrecy was nothing to him."
I replied to her, that Superman and the likes are superheroes. They're the GOOD GUYS. Edward's case was different. He's sure that Bella's fate is doom if she's with him. He tried his best to stay away from her, and when that didn't work, he wanted her to consciously made the decision to keep herself away from him. He told her because he loved her. Part of him hoped that when she knew who he really was, she'd get shit scared and run away. Well, that didn't happen, obviously.
It's a brilliant love story, I love my 'superhero' to be perfect. Anything less I could get in real life. Edward is perfect. Part of me is somewhat reluctant to watch the movie, afraid that Robert Pattinson couldn't do justice to Edward.
My favourite quotes:
"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..."
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
"When I told you I didn't want you, it was the very blackest form of blasphemy."
"If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it."
"He called you pretty. - That's practically an insult, the way you look right now. You're much more than beautiful."
"I'll be back so soon you won't have time to miss me. Look after my heart - I've left it with you."
I know, I know. Mad aren't I? I don't even like romantic guys. But Edward is different. He's not a normal, human guy. I forgive him and give him the exception because he's now officially my favourite superhero. Well, not exactly fitting into a superhero category, but he's my favourite anyway.
I'm still reading Twilight now and again, although I've moved on slightly onto other books:
Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling)
I'm a late reader. Not because I was sceptical about it, or anything. No, never. It was because I knew I'd get overexcited about it (not in a Twilight kind of way, though), and would bite my nails couldn't wait for the next book to arrive. I vowed to myself that I would never read a single book of Harry Potter until I get hold of the boxset. All 7 of them in a row.
Nagi bought me the boxset 2 weekends back, and I finished it in a week. I love the experience of reading them in a row. My favourite was book 7 (Deathly Hallows) and book 4 (Goblet of Fire). I thought book 6 (Half-blood Prince) is incomplete unlike the rest of them. Might as well call it "Deathly Hallows - book 1" for 6, and "Deathly Hallows - book 2", or something like that.
My favourite character is Hedwig. The owl, yes. I love the way she's so... possesive about Harry. She's like his girlfriend. A very loyal and jealous one.
My second favourite is Fred and George.
Then you know why I cried SO MUCH on book 7! I'm not saying anything more. But I think J.K. Rowling is brilliant and a talented writer. To come up with a saga like this, Oh-My-God. Harry Potter should be classified as classic. It's that good. Phenomenal.
The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini)
Great book. Sad story. I found it difficult to keep track on the names, though, for some reason. Read the whole thing in one night.
The Time Traveller's Wife (Audrey Niffenegger)
This is very interesting. Never read anything like this. I love the concept. It's real and unreal at the same time. Amazing love story. It reminds me that time is nothing, and everything, at the same time.
Ayat-ayat Cinta (Habiburrahman El-Shirazy)
An Indonesian novel, with an Islamic theme. I love it. It got a bit too romantic at some points, too romantic to my liking (I cringe at the point where they exchange poems to one another). It has a good story though. I do hope men like Fahri (the main male character in this novel) do exist, for the benefit of women in the world, but not me. Definitely not me. I can't stand romantic men.
I found it difficult to imagine this novel turns into a movie though, because most of the conversations were supposed to be in Arabic (because the setting is in Egypt) although the novel's language is Indonesian. It's an Indonesian novel, so it's translated into Indonesian (obviously, I don't read Arabic). Now if it's a movie, then how am I supposed to digest that those Egyptians speak Indonesian? Unless the whole movie is in Arabic, with Indonesian subtitle, then it would make sense.
Ok, I'm going to read Twilight again now. I lost count of how many times I have read them. 8th time, I think.
Hohohoho.. While waiting for Youtube to finish uploading my video, I just checked the Polyvore blog, my set was featured in it!! *squeal in delight*
http://blog.polyvore.com/2008/10/la-garonne-looks-contest-winners.html
This is the second time my set appeared in Polyvore blog, but the first time I was even embarass to admit it, because I didn't like that set!
Am I bragging too much? If I am, I can't help it.
Damn it, Youtube, when are you going to finish uploading?????
