I’m being patient for the Eclipse to end so I can witness the Breaking Dawn
Warning: This post might contain spoilers for Eclipse. 🙂
Last Tuesday I bought my copy of Breaking Dawn at the bookstore just beside my school’s main building (DLS-CSB). I carried the book, along with my sketchpad and coloring materials all throughout Vito Cruz and the SDA building back and forth ALL day. I never thought the book was THAT heavy until I put it with my other drawing materials and carried it. Also, I went home late because my friends and I had to shoot a top music videos countdown kind of video for our class next day. Imagine how much of a hassle it was to carry around that plastic bag with a heavy book, haha. so the short and short of that experience was .. I should’ve bought Breaking Dawn the day after that, Wednesday.
I don’t really regret anything. Actually, I’m pretty happy that I did bought that book on that day. Who knows, maybe it’ll be sold out as soon as the week ended? And if I didn’t bought Breaking Dawn, I wouldn’t be motivated to get back to reading Eclipse after 2 months! Hahahaha, I am INSANELY a slow reader. I just started reading again Friday night, I was in chapter 3 then.. now I’m at chapter 20! :dance: If you must know, yes that is an accomplishment and an improvement on my part. =))
Oh yeah, Breaking Dawn is still on the plastic with the receipt. I have never opened it nor removed it from the packaging ever since I got it. I promised myself that I’ll only get the right to open it if and only if I finish reading Eclipse. 😛 Probably I’m the last person who’s going to read this.. well, not including the group of people who’s yet to read Twilight or the earlier books.
Lemme share you something: I wasn’t anticipating the launch of BD here in the Philippines. I didn’t notice August 4 came in this early and I depended on them to find out how’s the storyline and stuff. I didn’t care. I wasn’t that addicted, hell, I haven’t finished Eclipse in a span of weeks like my friends did. I read spoilers and stuff, it did not bug me, not once. 😛 Perfectly fine with spoiling. I’m like “Oh, okay, Breaking Dawn’s finally here, cool.”
Until one of my ‘Twilight Recruits’ (some of my friends who got hooked to Twilight and Edward Cullen cause of ME) asked me if I have the book and I told her I didn’t have it yet.. And I said I’m not that excited about it at all, not because I was discouraged by the outcome (I wasn’t) but ..just not. She then said this:
You’re the one who recommended me this book and you’re the one less excited about the new book? Are you crazy?
That made me laugh. =))
On with Eclipse.. So far so good, I think I’m past by the boring parts already. No offense to “Team Jacob”, if there is one. Jacob’s point of view really bores me, its like reading New Moon again on that one chapter when one of the seniors of ‘Team Jacob’ was telling a story about their kind. I don’t know if he goes on to my I could care less list or Must read more about this person list. I like him in parts where he and Bella talks, and when Edward has something to do with Jacob.. But when it comes to story telling about Jacob’s kind, it gets really boring which sucks. 😡 Well, I’m 8 chapters away from the ending so I’ve yet to finalize my thoughts on Jacob. For now, 50/50! :)) I don’t want to storytell any more, I might spoil you and I’m not really good with sharing stories about books I read. I tend to just visualize and forget about explaining it.
It’s the 2nd week of August and there’s 4 weeks left of schooling for me before the first trimester of my Sophomore year ends! We’ve been insanely busy with ‘activities’ the past weeks. I’m sort of confused why we’re not being dumped with projects, yet we have a lot of activities instead. Methinks ‘activities’ is the new word for ‘projects’.
Schedule encoding was last week. I’m happy that I got the schedule I wanted, and I’m happy that I am sure that I have classmates that I know in all subjects. 🙂 I’m parting ways with my usual companions in classes in 3 subjects, but I hope I won’t regret it. I mean, I hope I don’t get sucky professors and stuff. What I do know is, I got the ‘bad’ professor for COLREND1 according to my friend — well thanks for the heads up, man. But I’m with my usual companions on that subject, so we’ll stick together like glue! :pray:
I’ve this thing to demonstrate for my ORALCOM2 class, it’s for my Speech to Demonstrate, which will be our Finals exam for the said subject. We were to choose skills and/or ideas to demonstrate in class and I chose to demonstrate the different types (kinds?) of table napkin folding. Y’know, the ones used in fancy restaurants, not the tissue napkins, haha! So there, I’ve been looking for semi-complicated to complicated folds online and in YouTube as well but so far I’ve only found intermediate level folding videos. Would you know a better source site for this? Perhaps with video tutorials?
I’m trying my best to learn as fast as possible, I think right now I know around 3-4 already. But the demonstration should go on for 8-10 minutes.
Anyway, that’s all for now. Here’s me hoping for a smooth flow week ahead of me.
I actually think that Breaking Dawn was a little too lengthy but nevertheless, it was a worth read and I loved it. I’m a Bella-Edward shipper but I love Jacob Black more than Edward Cullen.
Being a slow reader, for me, is a good thing because they can savor every moment. Whereas me, kind-of a fast reader, finishes a $12 book within less than a day that my mom actually thinks that I’m wasting money (since the $12 was gone in a day). See my point? LOL. ♥
Ayee, fan of stephanie meyer itooo! HAHA. I wonder how much is twilight ate? I wanna start being a bookworm, too. Nyahaha 🙂
wow wala ka talagang pinalalampas ah, im happy meron ka na nung book alam ko naman na gustong gusto mo yan kapatid.

okay i really need to read that twilight. haha. and hopefully i can finish the book cos im also a slow reader. 😛 hindi ikaw yung last na makakabasa ng bd. ako. haha -_-
i don’t have breaking dawn yet. wala pang hardbound sa nbs! amp :(( kainis. so i STILL haven’t read it yet as well 😀 hahaha.
andami ko na nga naririnig na spoilers. kainis. baka sa next week ko pa makuha at mabasa 🙁 waaaah.
tapusin mo na eclipse! maganda yung mga last part. nakakakilig. hahaha. 😀
Halfway through Breaking Dawn, I discreetly switched teams, from Edward to Jacob. BD totally changed my perspective on the characters. (Bella is such a brat!) You’ll understand why when you read book 4. hehe.
BREAKING DAWN. BREAKING DAWN!
Hahaha! GANDA PROMISE!
Hahaha. Tae, ako kaya hindi ko binasa yung part na may story telling. As in! Nyahahaha! =)) =)) Skipped until dun sa binalik na ni Jake si Bella kay Edward. :smug:
ahhhs breaking dawn! its an awesome book could be better tho =[ read it sis!
haha yeahh… ohwell.
why not??? sayang nagkapromo nga sila eh! tapos na tho.
i had the promo thing. 😀
yeahh im soo waiting for the sem break. 😀
im not reading the whole blog as well. hahaha spoiling mee.
wala pa din ako sa eclipse. i decided to re-read NM because I found it blurry cuz i didnt really understand some parts.
so yeah… me gonna buy a copy of BD in HK na lang. 😀
What can I say?
I stil don’t have meh Breaking Dawn. Too lazy to get it at NBS in Metro East. Imma get it on 16. Oh well, alam ko naman na ang story at ayoko sa mangyayari. 😐 😐 😐
Anywho, Jacob’s POV bores me, big time. :hmph: So ewan ko na lang sa BD, kasi diba may POV dun si Jacob. Good luck na lang. HAHA!
Nabasa mo na ba yung Chapter 20 ng Eclipse? isa lang. :X
I dropped by the bookstore the other day and saw Breaking Dawn. I so wanted to buy it that time, but I was only carrying little money. 😐 Buti ka pa you were able to buy na. 🙁 Lol.
I’m also not a die-hard fan of the Twilight series. In fact, I don’t really know why I’m reading it. Haha. Well of course I do like it, but… You know. Something’s telling me I’m reading it for nothing. :))
It’s good that you got the sched you wanted. :>
Oh, and we studied napkin folding last year! I still remember them, the Axis, the Candle, the Chef… Haha. But not all. XD Yea. Good luck Anna! 🙂
BTW, why’s your title Back to Forks? Who left Forks? Haha.
Author’s note: Hey Michie, I meant to talk about me, the one who left Forks. 😉 When I stopped reading.. haha.
i got bored of reading eclipse too on the last few chapters so i listened to the audiobook instead. harhar. 😀
i read some reviews of breaking dawn and they said it sucked. not the vampire kind of sucked though. 🙁
I have that same prof on DESPRIN. 🙁
Good luck to us. *scared*
