I didn’t understand all the fuss about the Twilight series a while back, when I haven’t read the entire saga myself. I thought I wouldn’t like a love story involving vampires, but boy I was wrong. So now I am a huge fan, and although far from being obsessed, I look forward to watching Eclipse (haven’t seen it yet) and Breaking Dawn with Paulie. We saw Twilight and New Moon the movie together, so I thought it’d only be fair to watch the other two movies with him as well.
Personalized t-shirts with the Twilight theme are all the rage right now, as well as all sorts of the saga’s memorabilia. I think someone’s fanaticism over the Twilight series is also measured by the number of collectible items that he or she owns, but if that was the case, I have a lot to catch up on. If I have some extra cash to spare in my hand right now, I wouldn’t think twice to buy New Moon apparel, or maybe a coffee cup with the faces of the cast in it.
I know wanting one or two Twilight items cannot be called an obsession yet, and I sure hope that my desire to own those stops at just that. I’d rather see other people stocking up on the series’ items than be in that position myself. I can be quite engrossed about something and lose discipline, and this is not an obsession I think I can handle well.
Svet is almost 27 months old now, and while she can be a real sweetie when she wants to, she throws unbelievable tantrums at times and can be mean to her otherwise very gentle cousin Elijah when she doesn’t get her way (especially when it comes to toys, which they share). I’ve read a lot about the terrible twos when she was just a baby, and I didn’t expect for her to go through it because she was such a little angel back then. As you can see, I am eating my words now. LOL.
As naughty as she is now, I am still thankful for her everyday antics that brightens our day. She can say a lot of things now, and express her feelings through words, and but while I understand most of the things she says, there are instances when they are garbled. She ends up being very irritated because I can’t understand what she’s trying to say. Sometimes when I have a lot in my mind or am trying to work, we both end up frustrated. I know this phase is normal and all, but I just wish that she’ll get through it already, as she can be incredibly tiring. Sometimes I wish I could just cry and throw myself on the floor too out of frustration. Hee hee.

Aside from Enchong Dee (who is my long-time crush), Derek Ramsay is the hottie of my dreams right now. LOL. Must be from too much soap-opera watching (Magkaribal, where both Ramsay and Dee appear). I haven’t really looked at Ramsay closely before (because I didn’t have the interest to watch any of the shows that he was previously on), but his hopelessly-in-love-with-Victoria (Gretchen Barretto) character in the show caught my attention. Hi character in the soap, Louie Villarama, is as hot as he is brooding and angsty. Deadly combination, don’t you think? Quite irresistible for girls. And I hate how he is always let down by Victoria, when it is so obvious that he loves her to pieces. I heard this is his first time doing such a kid from the street role. But he’s doing great, I think.
Enchong Dee, on the other hand, portrays a most delightful character in the soap, as Caloy Javier, bestfriend of Gelai (Bea Alonzo), poor boy from Divisoria. This role is also very different from his rich kid role in Tanging Yaman, and I must say that he is doing a very good job. I am looking forward to the weeks when the love story between Dee and Erich Gonzales (who plays Chloe) will be in full bloom. Nowadays, Dee is still very attached to the character of Alonzo, and while it is still entertaining, I have gotten used to the Dee-Gonzales match-up that partnering with any other girl seem to emit no spark.
I am officially hooked to the series, so I will definitely be seeing more of these two in the coming weeks. But, I know that whether wearing rich kid clothes with matching mens ties, or donning normal street clothes, these two will excel in the roles assigned to them. I hope they get more acting projects in the future, although that would mean more soap operas to watch for me. LOL
As the winner of my June blog makeover giveaway, Pearl got a brand spanking new look for her food blog, My Sassy Chef. She explained to the me theme of the blog, picked the colors and described what she would want to see in the header. I think I managed to make it pretty close to what she described.
I used Shoebop as the main font. I’ve loved this font since forever, and since I don’t use it anymore for the design of my old blog at Blogger, I decided to incorporate it into Pearl’s new look. Please click on the screen capture above to go to her blog and leave her some love! (oohhh, rhymes! hee hee).
