Meet the Cullens

you are looking at a family picture of vampires. The Cullen Family.

this is the official cast of the movie that i'm sooo looking forward to watch, Twilight. this is based on my current favorite read, the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. the main character, Bella Swan, is not included in the picture posted above (of course, she's not a vampire). the guy in the middle is Edward Cullen portrayed by Robert Pattinson (aka Cedric Diggory of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie). shooting of the film will start next week. here are other pictures of the Cullen family. i can't hardly wait for more pictures and of course, the movie itself.

New Soul

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.

But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

I'm a young soul
In this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake.

But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make.

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

This is a happy end
Cause' you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong.

This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away.

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.

But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake.

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movie

stupid me. i forgot to include this film in my list of what i'm looking forward to this year. i know that the book series has ended, but the movie versions have not. the sixth installment will be shown on November. well, i definitely can't wait for this to be shown.

The Time Traveler's Wife Movie

one of my favorite books, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, has a movie adaptation produced by New Line Cinema that will be shown on June 2008. it will star Eric Bana (Henry DeTamble) and Rachel McAdams (Clare Abshire). i just hope that the movie will give me the same feeling i had when i read the book.

Annyonghi Gaseyo!

i've been so preoccupied with watching re-runs of TV show and catching glimpses from the past that i became so behind with the latest news. like the deaths of Brad Renfro (the boy from the movie, The Client) and Heath Ledger. is there a curse in Hollywood right now? who will be next? okay. i don't wish for anyone to be dead. i guess i was just a bit shocked with what i found out.

back to my life.

one of my students, John, will go back to Korea in a few hours. yesterday was his last day in school. i will surely miss him and his family as well. his older sister, Sarah, became my student last summer and his older brother, Joseph, was one of my tutees last December. i really enjoyed teaching them. i will also not forget the fun that we had when we played Monkey Anabelle, Shake Shake Shampoo, and Hangman. haha. i taught them how to play those and they enjoyed them very much.

well, this is just another phase in my life where i have to say goodbye to some people who have served their purpose in being part of my life (not that Brad and Heath played important roles in my life. they just entertained me). so like what i always say to myself, life goes on after saying goodbye.

Pink Apple

what's up with the color pink? well, here are some Apple products in the shade of pink.

Pink iPod Nano

the 3rd gen of the ipod nano family has a new color. though i don't have plans of buying this because my ipod is still alive and very reliable. besides, if i have this, the color would be covered anyway because of the silicon case or whatever kind of case i will use. yeah right. let's see if i can resist pink.

Pink iPhone

though there's no assurance that Apple would release this (coz it may just be a gimmick of some people), a pink iPhone looks really cute. and if Apple would release this in the Philippines, i would definitely buy one. because this is the product i wouldn't be able to resist.

Beverly Hills Teens

Beverly Hills Teens is a traditionally animated children's television program which debuted in 1987, animated by DiC Entertainment. The namesake teenagers have exaggerated wealth, and face new, stereotypical teenage concerns. (from Wikipedia)

do you remember Larke, Troy, Bianca, and the rest of the gang from this cartoon? i used to watch this show back when i was still in first grade. it was one of my favorite TV show that time. i stumbled upon some episodes of this show in YouTube last weekend and i had a blast watching them. then the other day, i saw a re-run of this show in KidsCo. wow! seems like i'm going to be a couch potato for the next few months coz i'm also watching re-runs of Roswell and Buffy the Vampire Slayer on AXN Beyond. hopefully, i would still be able to finish my paper and report in my class. haha.

Amazing Race 12 Winners

TK and Rachel won the Amazing Race 12! there was one leg where every thing went wrong for them but they still made it. there was another one where they were the last team to arrive but luckily for them, it was a non-elimination leg. so they had to work so hard (they had an additional task - Speed Bump) in order to catch up with the other teams. they still made it and was the second team to arrive just in time for the last leg of the race. they were able to catch up with Ron and Christina (the leading team) during the Final Road Block. then they won. good for them. :)
