my birthday wishes

I was tagged by a good friend Ads.

And though my birthday is still months from now,

I kinda enjoyed thinking of what I want for my birthday. :)

this is what I needed to do:
1. Make a list of what you want for your Birthday.
2. The list should be 10 numbers.
3. Include the image of this Award on your Post.
4. Give it to 10 Friends of yours.

and here are my 10 birthday wishes
1. start saving for our chef's

2. my very own garden

3. a green stand mixer {kitchenaide}
4. have my scraproom

5. kitchen make-over
{i want one with an island and a breakfast table/nook}
6. take up dressmaking or photography classes
7. a bigger flat screen tv

8. patience and perseverance to cook healthy for a healthier family

and i almost laughed my b$&t off when i've seen this

funny right?
{pero parang nasira kagwapuhan ng mga bampira noh, hehe}

anyway, am on the thrilling part of midnight sun. {kakilig talaga e}



oh boy! {thrilled like a teenager here :-D}

thanks for dropping by and a great day to everyone :)

midnight sun (edward's story)

am almost halfway through re-reading it.

it's heartmelting how Edward is already starting to fall in love with Bella.

but considering that he may have never fell in love before he became a vampire,

he doesn't recognize the concern he has for Bella.

for those interested in reading Midnight Sun, you can go here.

{just can't help sharing to you guys what i feel about their story}

it's basically the same intensity of 'kilig' when i first read it.

i really hope that stephenie will finish this and publish it.

now back to reading...hihi...

ATC

was in the mood to do something creative but i am not sure i have enough time to finish a page. ATCs (artist trading cards). did my research on it. and among my favorite makers of these cuties is roni. learned about her from idol cabbie {which by the way is one altered art idol too}.

need to work on my 'art' using mixed media but in the meantime, my simple art will have to do. :-D





thanks for looking! :)

the book

is very detailed. it disappoints me at times when i watch movies adapted from books. the movie would always often leave out some parts. parts that are crucial in understanding the characters and the events surrounding these characters.

here's one part of the book that i love.
{love the song too, but it's not in the movie or in the OST}



if you read the book (lucky you), you'll know why i love this part. there's so much love not just from Edward but also from Esme. as a mother, i really felt Esme's happiness to see her only son who haven't found his partner in life yet (after life for them i guess) meet the love of his life. second to the part when Edward shared his meadow to Bella {that's also the part when he showed his body sparkling like lots of diamonds under the sun - a part which wasn't translated well in the movie :-( }. and i can point out a lot of differences from the book now that i have watched it again. but that doesn't change that i liked the series and can't wait until they complete 4 movies. {newflash: it's official. dakota fanning will be playing jane in the Twilight second installment, New Moon.}

but in fairness, i did like the movie. especially the baseball scene. and the one when Alice broke James' neck. it was so cool to have a visual of it in the movie. i like the movie enough to watch it again. :-D {yeah, now i understand why lea sanders is counting the times she'd seen the movie. i just can't wait until the next one is shown}

twilight and breaking dawn are my favorites in the saga.
how about you? which of these books call you to read again?
