Traveler's Book: Twilight Sagas by Stephanie Meyer

I always bring a book from home to read while I am traveling across the grand oceans and seas, and sitting under the tree on a strange land. I became no longer a stranger on a strange land while reading a book. It is great thing to do while you are away from your family and friends. Books are always your best friend. It comes alive while you are reading it. Books are the greatest remedy to free yourself, getting over with homesickness, and even thinking you are so over with your crush. While you read, you become a child, filled with innocence and purity and open to all knowledge of the world.




Odessa Stevens gave me the book, "Twilight" by Stephaine Meyer, as Christmas and farewell gift before I left for Asia. She is absolutely a wonderful and sweet girl who is an advocate for cleaner beaches and coral reefs and saving dolphins. She knows me well enough to keep me alive and insane. She is an incredible and funny bud to be hang out with. =)

The book, Twilight, is fun and incredible and suspenseful book to read! I love it. Instead of being a mysterious and adventurous world traveler in trench coat and fedora hat, this book had turned me into 15 year-old teenager with bad acne with weird hairdo, and not caring in the world what I am wearing (most likely wearing PJs and bathrobe), reading with big eyes and giggling all the way. I am hopelessly romantic. I thought I am over with my crush I've liked for two years.




Twilight has three books and they are amazing. I read them all. I read the second saga about two weeks after I finished the first one. About a week later, I bought the third one and finished it one day. I am in denial right now because I want more of this book!

I prefer Edward Cullen than Jacob Black. Not only Edward is handsomer and cuter than Jacob in my imagination, it is whole personality that drove me into hopeless romantic. I did develop a crush on him. That's weird that to have a crush on fictional character. Anyway, while I was in denial after finishing all three books, I looked up in internet to search for more. Anyway, the great news is that they are making a movie! I can't wait!!! I hope Odessa could watch with me before she leaves for an important work to do in a lifetime. Anyway, they announced the cast.

Edward Cullen is Robert Pattinson and here was what I saw...



My first thought was like ugh no way! What is that goo on his hair?!??! I went through teenage insanity like this video:



One thing I don't have in common with her is that I don't like Orlando Bloom. I am pretty nice kid to give people second chance.. just before I went to search for more picture of Robert Pattinson, I just remembered Harry Potter's movie, and he was the one who played Cedric Diggory. I was like, oh he is not that bad as the previous picture. So here is what I found and it finally relinquished my teenage insanity to sanity to hopelessly romantic that I have fallen for an actor who does not know I exist.





In second picture, he is on the left side sitting on a wheelchair. I was like yes, this is Edward Cullen. He just have to dye his hair. I watched the clip of Reese Witherspoon's Vanity Fair movie and it really persuaded me to think that he is really Edward Cullen, on his voice, poise and chemistry towards the screen.



"Perfecto and Excellente!" like my Spanish teacher/professor always said when I managed to read the whole story I made in Spanish. She never expected to understand me while reading aloud. I am deaf and she usually discourage deaf students to take her Spanish class.

I thought Henry Cavill and Hayden Christiansen would be perfect Edward Cullen. According to the producers, Henry is too old to play seventeen year-old Edward. I remembered Henry Cavill starred in a movie called, "The Count of Monte Cristo." I love this movie. I like the book better. Anyway, I am glad Robert Pattinson got the part as Edward. I am glad that they chose an actor instead of a model to play the part. If in fourth book that Bella chose Jacob Black, I would tempt to burn it.

The producers cast Kirsten Stewart as Bella. I at first did not agree but looking at other pictures of her, I thought it is all right.

As a world traveler, always bring a book from home. Some of you may know Esther Dupree and she once said that she went to France and tried to look for a bookstore that has English written books. Books are awesome. I love books. My cousin, Andrea, and my college professor, Dixie Durham, are the one who taught me the world of books. It comes alive when you read it. You will feel less lonely.

So bring a book when you travel.
Smile and enjoy.
