Santa Claus Season Again!

Tweet Christmas is coming.. few more days. We're seeing alot of greens and reds, but Christmas decors are giving a new twist on holiday colors. I love the blue, silver, and gold themes.

Bazaars are everywhere! Love the bargains and cute knick knacks!



But for me, and my family, Christmas is like any other day.. but we do take advantage of Christmas staples available in the market (queso de bola, and chinese ham!). I guess, for us that's the best part of the season. ;)

Twilight

Tweet Here I go again, blogging and raving! I rarely blog nowadays, I only blog about things that really hit my emotions. I just watched Twilight with a friend. And I just realized how awesome the movie is! I have never read the book, and I didnt have plans actually.. Month ago, my office friend offered the ebook, and I blatantly refused. My other seatmates welcomed the file in their inboxes, and they are hooked. I only knew Edward because of a coworker who sits next to me (she calls herself Mrs. Cullen), and I dont want to disagree. And the next thing I know, the whole floor is going crazy about Edward, and the Twilight Saga.

I cant say I watched it out of peer pressure, Im too old for that. I am just plain curious. I never liked craze, and fad. I have to admit I had never read the Da Vinci Code until now, and I dont really care if every person I know was talking about that then. Same thing with Twilight. But after watching the movie, I just got curious all the more. And a spoiler friend filled me in with the story line - til the fourth book. I cant blame him, I asked too many questions (Why is Rosalie bitter? Who is that cute doctor? So they are good vampires huh?).

Over coffee we talked about the film - and it's true that this movie never had much publicity and promotion. Everything is just a word-of-mouth thing. And I am sure alot of people would have noticed, that the movie is filled with unknown actors. We have only recognized Robb Pattinson as Cedric in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie. But if Edward is played by a different actor, would people actually pay much attention on this romantic film? We are actually laughing about the idea that the film could have been mistaken as an indie film. I am not very impressed with the cinematography. My friend is betting that it is a low budget film. Bella is such a disappointment too. She doesnt have emotions, she acts so cold. I think it would be a bigger hit if they chose a prettier actress - just to pull guys' attention since Edward has the girls going crazy. I think she was overshadowed by Alice. She sure rocks!

It is actually funny that now I find myself searching more about Twilight after I got home. Check this video Making of Twilight. This related video is the prom scene. Edward (Robb Pattinson) sure looked hot in suit. We never realized how hard it is to film movies just when the weather doesnt cooperate. We cannot blame actors when they say they really worked hard on the film.

But what is cooler is this store that sells Twilight Shirts. Wear them and let the people know you are a fan and we love vampires ;) Edward sure got me. I wonder how good he is a kisser? Haha

I think I'll start reading the book. And I will buy the whole set to add next to my Harry Potter collection. I would have to ditch Gossip Girl books for now..

Have you been bitten by a Vampire?

Tweet My friends are going gaga over Robb Pattinson and everything and anything Twilight.

I cannot deny that I for the past had been tantalized by Cedric (remember Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?) - and the man behind the name, is Robb Pattinson. Yes, he is the same man portraying Edward Cullen of the romantic saga Twilight. And every girl wants to be Bella..



I have never read the book. No plans yet. Not in my to-do list just yet (on my list: read Gossip Girl books, watch DVDS, do beads, and stay glamorous!). But I am sure excited about anything and everything Twilight. I cant blame my coworker next to me, getting all jumpy and squeky with the sight of a "vampire" (aka Robb Pattinson, Edward Cullen, Cedric - choose what you want).

Need Some Action!

Tweet With the weather this time, and freezing cold temperature in the office, there is no deny I never have had a real work-out for the longest time. Can I count a year?



I cant even remember the last time I experienced sweating! I know it's not a good feeling of being sticky and stinky, but I need to eject some toxins in my body. People would hate me that despite all the fat, sugar and salt I take each day, I still managed to lose 10 pounds in three weeks. And that is without any effort.

Maybe, I really need a good work out to have my body react on reverse.. Need to gain some real weight.

Obama made history..

Tweet The last US election was never ours, but I somehow felt happiness on Obama's victory.



Expect his name printed on history books. But should we expect changes on US economy? more jobs probably? I never want to count on this. What Im praying is for peace in Iraq. Killing people is not a way to grow one's business.
