And the Saga Continutes.

I read the Inquirer paper for today, and lo and behold, a lot of people in the Philippines are really into the Twilight Saga! There's even an online petition with already3,000 people who signed up for the petition (I'm 3,177 to be exact) to move the release date of the movie from January to it's original date in December in the Philippines. We usually have our Metro Manila Film Fest in December, so all movies released in December are moved to a latter date.

Fully Booked is even opening it's doors past 12 midnight on August 3 so people can get Book 4: Breaking Dawn at the stroke of 12! How crazy is that? I'll just wait on August 4, Monday :) I already had my copy reserved and I kid in the office that I might go on leave on that day. Hmm since I got my book reserved in Greenbelt Powerbooks, half day would probably do. But who am I kidding, it's a Monday and 'Monday leaves' are sacrilege. Since it's the last book, I'd better savor it's words and story :( I get sad on saga endings. I got sad when I've finished the last book in Harry Potter, and I'm pretty sure I'd feel the same thing after reading the last book.

Well, at least I have the movies to look forward to! :) I hope the petition works.

Twilight.

This is an overdue post, I've been meaning to write an entry about this book, the book that I've been/people have been fussing about, I've been looking up trailers in youtube.com, some done by fans of the book with their own take on who should be the stars in the movie adaptation, to reading through Stephenie Meyer's site on outtakes, FAQ's about the book, etc. Even downloading mp3's, Vanessa Carlton has a song entitled Twilight, which really sounded apt for the book.

I have nothing but high praises on TWILIGHT! Every girl would fall in love with Edward. He's excruciatingly beautiful. Oh and I've always wanted to be a vampire since I read the Christopher Pike series on vampire back in high school. Vampire sans the blood thirst that is :) But plus the hot vampire boyfriend :)

Here are some helpful links on Stephenie's site:
Outtakes
FAQs on Twilight
Edward's POV, Midnight Sun Chapter1

The extras in the second book New Mooon are very interesting. There's also a pdf file with Edward's perspective on what happened.

I'm currently on the third book, Eclipse! I can't wait for the fourth coming this August :)
