So my mom got me premiere tickets to Twilight and... well...

I...

The movie was a box office in US, gaining $70m for like the first day alone. I think. But critics say that it was just a B rated movie. Which I personally agree on. Box office hit doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Since it's a major hit on books, I believe people, the obsessed and of course the curious, just wants to know what the movie is like. It's a teenage movie, more on the chick flick type even if it has vampires and werewolves.

But anyway, the first part was a bit dragging. The movie tho, followed closely to the book and only taking away the part where Jacob tells Bella that he's a frigging Were. Or something similar. And it was what I was waiting to see on the movie. Boo. T.T I remember the book to be a bit fast paced. But that's just my memory. LMAO. There were bits and pieces they could've cut short. But I do like the fight scene between James and Edward. It wasn't anticlimactic. Negates the slow paced motion for the first part of the movie. Although I think it's a bit short. But it does balance the whole thing. I didn't like their make up. Couldn't they make the Cullens pale without them looking like friggin geisha? Hello? It's as if the make up dept soaked them in flour or something. It was a bit unrealistic. At first I was a bit hesitant about the Cullen kids. I feel like they were too old looking for the part. But Alice, Rosalie and Emmett actually did great. I like how they act, Rosalie especially with her jealousy. I didn't like how Jasper was portrayed. I remember him being a bit constricted in the book, like he was controlling himself very hard since he's newer to the vegetarian thing. But in the movie he looked so constipated. And always a bit frightened for his own good. I liked the Jasper in the book, although he's fighting hard for control he seems to be totally cool. Like ICE cool. Carlisle (pronounced Carlile) was, well I didn't like the white as sheet face he had, aside from that he looks like the Wilson brothers. LMAO. Jacob, jacob, jacob. He looked like a kid. And he's supposed to be like only a year younger than Bella. I think. But the long hair was cool. I just didn't like how they never touched the Were subject in the movie. The villains were awesome. Victoria was woah, and so was James. So yeah. And then there was Bella and Edward. I did like how Bella was portrayed, all sullen and everything. She acted good, just like the Bella in the books. Edward tho, he wasn't what I expected. I personally think that Robert Pattison wasn't cut for the part. I even think that Gaspard Ulliel would've been a better choice. LMAO. He didn't suck that bad. So yeah. I do like how he got rid of his brit accent, he was quite americanized in the movie. But I Edward Cullen was divine. He wasn't. So go figure.

I was bit pissed off with the people at the cinema yesterday too. The girls started squealing the moment the movie started. And they were squealing when the Cullen kids showed up. Squealing still when Edward showed up. And squealed MAJOR when Bella and Edward kissed. T.T LIKE OMG! SHUT THE EFFING UP. GAWD. The movie was overrated, and the squealing fan girls were OVERRATED. Hello, people are trying to watch. >.< I didn't pay to hear them squeal like darn pigs. UGH.

In other news, I'm SOOOOO excited! I got my QaF from JJ today and yay! I'd be watching it right this moment if I didn't have an exam tomorrow. BOOO. So I'll be marathon-ing tomorrow instead. xD I soo Love QaF.

So it's the first week of a new month... And I'm all but accomplished. >.> Uhm. I kinda skipped on my reading list for October because I was too caught up with watching QaF, which, btw I stopped because I wanted to watch the whole thing in sequence so as you all know, I asked my blockmate to download it for me. So there. What else have I been doing? Uhm... Kinda watching How I Met Your Mother now, am in season 1. My other blockmate wanted me to watch it and I pretty much enjoy it so it's okay. (uhh? yeah?)

Aside from that, I've been doing icon bases here and there, posting it in my Livejournal account. I'm taking a breather after the midterms now but I have a critic paper coming up this week and our MP for IMAGPRO on the next. Which BTW I should really start now. OGASH PROCRASTINATION.

Our house had been very full for a couple of days, well since friday actually. My grandma and aunt and uncle from my father's side slept over Friday (Halloween!) and then went home yesterday. My cousins (from my mother's) then arrived said afternoon and slept over until today. :D We prayed for the dead yesternight and then watched Darkness Falls. Which, btw, is very very scary. My cousins were so scared that they promised to brush their teeth regularly now. LMAO. One of my dogs was frightened by our shrieks and screams that night too, poor Sam. We're so sorry we disturbed your sleep. X/ Then today we went to go swim in some resort and then went to some zoo where I was able to hold and carry a baby crocodile! Sooo cool! XD And we went and see some monkeys and ostrich and rabbits who were sooo big.

So, I hope JJ has finished my QaF. OMY, I need not the distraction from doing our MP!! O.O

I was kinda hoping to do some screencaps of my own and post it in my LJ. Aaaannndd, what else? UUhmmm...

FINISH MY MP!!

O YEAH.

ARGH. So I reformatted my pc today, but unfortunately, my product key was rejected. ARGH. And I spent thousands for this freakin genuine CD but I can't even activate it. GRRR...

Now I'm asking one of my professors for the xp pro student version to install in my pc. T.T And I still have to wait for it tomorrow. *cries*

On the bright side, it's my first time ever to reformat my pc. YAYS

And then JJ will be downloading Queer as Folk for me. OMG. Yay for me! He'll be DLing me 22gb of it. Mwahahaha.

I'm going to have QaF marathon over the weekend!! XD

Nothing much here except some little stuffs. You know, this is the most boring and laziest term in my entire college life. 2 subjects per day and a day off on Fridays, I have only 12 units this term and all my subjects are very boring. I'm in the verge of not going to classes mind you. But then, I don't really want to fail anything this term or any succeeding terms, not now, not anymore!

October is the busiest month for birthdays for my block and my other friends. Jp was the first celebrant on the 8th, Eda had her 18th birthday last week followed by Aids' then I just came from Gwen's 18th birthday party at Glorietta where we ate at Super Bowl and watched Max Payne after. It was fun! Gwen was really pretty, she cleans up very well. :D Then lastly, I think, is Mac who's birthday I don't even know when, just it falls between 22nd and 25th. LMAO. Then of course, Ace will have her birthday on th 31st! Holloween! XD

The next busy birthday month is on December already, well. It's not really busy but Misha, Kiks and Pat would be celebrating their birthdays then and with close proximity! XD So yay! Hopefully that would merit a reunion of friends, I MISS them TERRIBLY.

Anyway, aside from birthday, oh, nothing had been eventful this month. Except the fact that I'm suddenly in the task of reformatting my pc because it suddenly went haywire on me. My OS suddenly became a trial version. OMG. And the fact that only one offense more I'm going to say bye bye to my computer coz my dad would ground me.

So yeah. A computer science student torn off the privelege of using her own computer at home. IRONIC isn't it.

See, my days have been so monotonous, I'm craving some QaF.

And I haven't even finished half of season 2 yet, hopefully after I reformat my PC I'd be able to download the whole series. And yes, its' friggin' 22GB and I will risk the possibility of my HD crashing just to download it. It's my current OBSSESSION so bugger off.

And now, I'm going back to back uping my files in my other HDs so I can reformat the damn PC first thing tomorrow.

I wish I could remember

                Queer as folk, season two, episode 2

So I finished season one over at youTube.

OMG

I wished I had the same kind of freakin uhhsome of a prom. I remember I did. I thought I did at that time. But it became like... WOAH never mind!!

If I didn't know better I swear that last scene was an indication that Justin is dead.

OMG.

That totally beats every damned ending I have ever seen.

OMG

OMG

OMG

I need to know that everything's going to be alright with my own eyes before I can even sleep tonight.

OMG

OMG

OMG

*goes and watches season 2 at youTube*

This is the part I'm talking about:

So like, my limewire wouldn't connect and I can't download music!!!!! ARGH. I'm trying to download iTunes right now and hopefully it would effing install in my damn pc. *cry*

I wanted to download the queer as folk season 1 album. *facepalm*

QaF2

And I immerse myself to the fandom of Queer as Folk.

I found what it was to like them, and even though I am in the midst of watching the whole series, I find myself compelled to see what it was after the end.

It felt like the end of Harry Potter.

But it felt much more real than that because there weren't any closure. An ending that opens another door, leading to much more possibilities.

It was mature.

And although it did not give what the fandom wants, rarely canon does, I, personally, felt like it was enough. More than enough, actually. It was what I would've wanted as an ending, right after I wallow in sadness and ponder on the words that Justin and Brian said to each other.

I felt even more alive in this fandom than my own OTP because it already has fueled our desire, Harry Potter fuels nothing but the desire to break free from the canon. From the epilogue. But this, fuels the desire to continue on. To pick up where it left of and not disturb any canonical values that eventually ends up in Ginny!Bashing.

I hate it, I love it.

And that's what I want from it. A kind of love and hate relationship with the canon.

I was in the brink of switching teams.

QaF

So I've been scouting for possible books to read this month. Good riddance with Breaking Dawn which really is broken. I liked Jacob's part of the story, as for anything else, well, let's just say I now have another pairing to search the world wide web now. Yup, you betcha, Jake/Edward it is. But really, nothing beats the OTP you know.

Aside from the other books I've been reading, I'm reacquainting myself with lomonaaeren's novel length stories. I love how she portrays the UTP of my OTP. *heartflutters*

But anyway

• Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
• Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
• Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan >> this one is an audio book

Optional ones are

• The host by Stephenie Meyer >>one last bitter pill I have to take
  
• Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger
  
• Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho

Aside from that, I'm like obsessing with Queer as Folk now. I was a bit disappointed when the store I buy DVDs from didn't have the series. But I found some in YouTube so I'll be hanging around there for a while. But really, nothing beats the DVD.

Note to self: Buy season 1 to 5 of Queer as Folk as soon as possible. O.O

This series deserve its own tag. LMAO
