Addiction na ito.....

The first time I saw the movie is Holy Wednesday midnight. Finished and LOVED it by 3AM. I've been watching it over and over again since then.

Tuesday came... I wanted the book because I know that movies with book adaptations tend to 'squeeze' everything in 1.5 to 2 hours. I dropped by National bookstore. To my surprise, there's only ONE COPY LEFT... and it's definitely destined for me... was all smiles on my way home.

I finished the book Thursday morning. If given the chance to read it without interruptions, I would have finished it in less than one day. Still on the same day, afternoon.... I was on my way to Boni via bus to have dinner with the bear and guess what's the movie the conductor played 15 minutes after I warmed my seat.... yeah you guessed it right.... still all smiles....

Friday.... I forgot to mention that I also have the e-books... all four... courtesy of my officemate. Since all we did was study, I decided to do otherwise -- I read the second book. was able to finish everything by 4AM while eating noodles at home.

Saturday... Powerbooks is like a glimpse of heaven as my eyes feasted on the pile of the other 3 books I wanted to complete the saga... I BOUGHT ALL THREE.... kaching!!!

This madness is HOT when it came out in the last quarter of 2008. I don't really care if my reactions and giggling smiles are kinda late...

But honestly speaking... if I'll look at it per se, it is really ordinary...the depth of the imagination cannot be compared with Harry Potter or the complex LOTR....it's just a love story between two different beings... a girl torn between two rival species... If this is so, then why I'm I joining the thousands (and could be millions) of ladies drooling and daydreaming over Edward Cullen? hehehe....

Maybe I'm just a sucker for romantic stories and happy endings... where the tough guy finally meets his match... where somebody would do anything on his power just to protect the person he loves... (awww...) It's actually a good break from all the realities of life...

Another thing... aside from the books, I also bought the original DVD (a two disk special with behind the scenes and exclusive interviews) and I downloaded the soundtrack...

Madness...
