TWILIGHT is your exact brand of heroin

Two weeks ago, I was indifferent.

I could not afford any distraction right now, I thought.

Until I picked up the book, I realized it was the best distraction that my depressed aura needed.

I admit though, it was the trailer that triggered me to read the book. Stephanie let me borrow her book who by the way is the most twilight addict I can attest to.. well, aside from me of course. She was first to this go-gaga-over-Edward thing; that's her advantage over me.. (hehe..luv u steph!)

  Darn! Like I always say when I start something, the rest is history. I got "imprinted". 

  So instead of you indulging in my giddiness and giggles over this dark romance saga, why not rather provide you an insightful summary of the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

 Here it goes:

Isabella Marie Swan, a brunette girl who sees herself as simple, ordinary, plain, outcast and different, moves out from her mother's roof in the sunny Phoenix to Forks, Washington which she hates because of its climate and bitter memories of her parent's separation. Here she stays with her father, Charlie Swan, the town’s chief police, whom she is not really closed to. This move was to give her mother Renee more time and freedom to spend with her new husband.  

At the first day of school, instead of being outcast and hated as she expected, she was fondly received by everybody. The male hormones lined up for this beautiful new girl in school and even girls wanted to be friends with her. Well, everybody except this tight ensemble of cool-to-be-true Cullen siblings who sat at the “coolest” 

table in the cafeteria whom Bella describes as perfect-looking models waiting for their photo shoot. Their skin, their eyes, their mystery – they who look so similar yet so different.  They pair themselves – Rosalie and Emmette, Alice and Jasper – and then the devastatingly and inhumanly beautiful bronzed-hair Edward.
  

Incidentally, they sat as partners in their biology class. At their first class together, Bella was offended by Edward’s apparent avoidance at her as if she “smelled” different that he has to sit very far from her and his chair angled against her. And she overheard him convincing the teacher to change his Biology class schedule. This brought a new wave of insecurity to the already-insecure Bella.

Days passed, Bella noticed Edward being absent and wondered if it was because of her but dismissed it immediately by assuming she is no one important to him in any ways. Upon his return, Edward made amends to the new girl for being unfriendly. Through days of altering friendliness and smugness from Edward, Bella felt a pulling force toward him that he is different. Nobody can’t be that gorgeous like him, she says. His hair’s casual disarray, his perfect crooked smile, his sculptured nose – just too beautiful for a human. His chalky-white skin, his eyes that change colors from golden honey to pitch black, his cold-as-ice hands – just too mysterious to be a human.  She started dreaming of him every night. 

Every curiosity in Bella’s mind was triggered when one rainy school morning; Edward did something out of the ordinary. Due to the slippery road brought by the heavy rain, a van lost control and was about to smash Bella to death when far from a distance, Edward came to her side and rescued her. She sweared she saw Edward pull the van away from her singlehandedly. But he insisted otherwise.

 She eventually found out from a family friend, Jacob Black, about the treaty in their land involving legends of vampires and “protectors” and gave her self conclusion that Edward is a vampire.  

  During a girls’ night-out, Bella got lost in the strange town of Port Angeles and was again almost close to her death because of this group of serial killers chasing her. Between fear and thoughts of self-defense, Edward’s silver Volvo screeched tires to rescue again. Inspite of knowing he is a vampire, Bella mysteriously trusts him and feels safe with him. She gets in the Volvo finding the furious Edward staring at her would-be attackers. Then when Edward was calmed by Bella, they went to a restaurant where they spilled out all the beans. He told her though that his family don’t feed on human blood only on wildlife – “vegetarian vampires”, he jokes. He also can hear people’s thoughts except Bella’s; a mystery to both of them. Edward himself feels that his secrets are safe with Bella.

  Since then, they have been inseparable. Edward picks her everyday from her home and off to school together they go. They spend the lunch together, sits close during Biology class, he watches her sleep to guard her, she meets his family, they spend the unforgettable time in the meadows where he shows how his skin glistens like diamonds when sun reflects on it; she loved him even more - A set of motions settled in place where none of Bella’s other admirers can not insert. Edward told her why he acted the way he acted during her first day in school – her blood smelled TOO sweet for him to resist. And when he heard her speak his name in sleep, he was fighting over ethics, moral and nature on how he felt – he loved her ever since.

  The conflict starts when a trio of nomad vampires arrived in the peaceful town of Forks – James, Laurent and Victoria. James wanted Bella’s blood and the Cullen family would stop at nothing to keep the beloved human of their son and brother. But because of James’ trap, Bella was bitten by James and both releasing venom into her body and leaking great amount of blood from her. Edward saves her life again in time and together with Emmette and Jasper, killed the lethal vampire James. Edward sucked out the venom from Bella’s system just in time not to spread enough to make her a vampire.

  Then after the turmoil, they were safe again at Forks. They went to their prom. Since then, Bella had made clear to Edward her desire to become a vampire. They went outside their prom dancefloor, and out in the darkness, Edward reached for her throat while Bella anticipated for a life with her beautiful vampire – forever.

Twilight Posters:

 the posters said it right ---> the hottest books since harry potter!

the twilight saga still left me wanting to read more!

the craze has been around too long but darn, i m so late to know.

then i read Midnight Sun... and now, i want to buy all five books!!! does not matter if i have read them, i just want to own them! the series are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Midnight sun is Edward' s version to twilight.

and speaking of the devastatingly and inhumanly beautiful vampire! Edward Cullen!

Lovers who stands against eternity and human nature, Edward and Bella each came from very different worlds and when they met, the wonders of thirst for blood, honey-dewed eyes, chalky white skin, and too-cool family members began in Bella' s life of divorced parents, insecure teenagehood, innocent bravery and as Edward said, good girl nature.

I can t wait to see the widescreen version! Stephenie Meyer brought us a story that itself brought a whole new dimension to literature just as what JK Rowling did. This dimension opens up a fresh notion of love, fear and eternity. As catholic as i am, and as fictional as the characters are.. the story is not a sample doctrine to learn about vampires BECAUSE it is just created from the writer 's imagination. The fresh notion about fear implies bravery beyond innocence, love beyond lust and eternity beyond eternity.

Twilight is a good read. if there is one thing to define Twilight series: it is TWILIGHT itself.

Sweet!
