BACK TO SCHOOL. honestly, each day in school is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. I feel myself just being an empty shell and await dusk. just 3 days of school, had me napping for 3 hours aside from my usual bed hours. though, I have been sleeping at 12+ these last 3 days. nope, not studying...I was READING...


TWILIGHT

the book that has gotten every girl absorbed in the wonderful world of clandestine mythical creatures: the romance between a mortal and a vampire. the dreadful life of a newcomer in high school and the secrets of the dark knights.

my opinion: seriously, I didn't read like 400 pages worth of romance just for like 50 pages of action. I honestly think the romance can be shortened. like alright, an average day in school is like this this this, I am so in love with Edward like this this this. that in 400 pages. my heart pounding when it came to the action, where the adventure truly begins: the hunt, the kill. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I WANT TO READ ROMANCE JUST TO GET AN UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION OF ACTION? gosh. I think I have completely lost my romantic bone.

finished it in 2 days. went over to kino after school on thurs to get the sequel.


NEW MOON

the emptiness and imperfection in one's life without the other. as if she had turned into the living dead (somehow as good as a vampire..if you know what I mean). the joy of having someone else to depend on as a pillar of support, a friendship that is selfish yet desperately needed. and the choice between love and friendship can only result in a love-hate relationship.

my opinion: AGAIN. I read like 500 pages worth of the protagonist's emptiness and nightmare, her reckless decisions, her mundane school life. her supposed love/friend relationship with Jacob Black- who later joined the pack of werewolves. the action was barely there, having to go to Italy with a she-vampire to save her lover from the blue bloods. then, she feels complete again with him back to her side and finally setting a date to turn into a vampire. meanwhile, she loses her friendship with the guy who always gave her support and is in a phase of deciding what college to go to -end- GOSH, I spent one day, reading the WHOLE book, only to be disappointed. it was slow-moving, truly slow...I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about how empty she felt or how complete she felt. I suppose I was glad that she found a good friend. and when it was time for action, it was barely exciting. how do people stand reading 500 over pages of romance...

gonna go down to kino later to get the third book. ECLIPSE. I'm hoping it would have more action. like really, vampire stories aren't exactly made for love. it's better not to try too hard. then again, I would be upstaging a protest from the diehard romantics out there who think the love between Edward and Bella with poor Jacob is the reason they continue reading...or what not.
