eclipse
Watched a movie today... It was "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"
It begins with a famous poem, recited by Bella, "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost:
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
The poem was to set the mood for this story, as Bella is torn between two lovers, Edward, a teenage vampire, whose physical temperature is cooler than the average human's 98.6 degrees, and Jacob, a warewolf , whose temperature is so warm he never has to wear a shirt.
A very strong love triangle. Bella is supposed to be inlove with both of them and either way you choose the characters make lovely pairs...
Bella and Jacob... Then Bella and Edward...
But of course i like Bella and Edward the most... Who cares if the story is fictional. They say “Eclipse”, David Slade’s contribution to Summit Entertainment’s juggernaut “Twilight” franchise came in first at the boxoffice over the weekend with $69 million, and $161 million since it opened on Wednesday earlier in the week, according to studio estimates. “Eclipse’s” five-day total of $161 million.
And there's still one lovely vampire pair in addition...
Plus the fight between the newborn vampire army and the warewolves with the Cullen
clan.The story opens with the revelation thatSeattle, Washington is being plagued by a
string of murders, which Edward suspects is caused by a new vampire that is unable to
control its thirst for human blood. As Edward and Bella apply to colleges, Bella explains
to Edward her desire to see her friend,Jacob Black, a werewolf. Although Edward fears
for her safety, Bella insists that neither Jacob nor his wolf pack would ever harm her, and she begins visiting him occasionally. On one of these visits, Jacob tells Bella that
he is in love with her and wants her to choose him instead of Edward, but Bella says
she just sees him as a friend. To that, Jacob forcibly kisses her and she reacts by
punching him in the face, breaking her hand while not even leaving a scratch on him. Meanwhile, Alice Cullen has a vision that Victoria, a vampire who is hunting Bella for
revenge, has returned to Forks. A few days later, Edward proposes to Bella and, despite
harboring an aversion to marriage, she accepts.

harboring an aversion to marriage, she accepts.
Bella and the Cullens soon realize that the Seattle murders are being committed by an "army" of newborn vampires, controlled by Victoria. The Cullens join forces with the wolf pack to combat this threat. As everyone else prepares for battle, Edward, Bella and Jacob camp in the mountains, hidden during the battle, where they are later joined bySeth Clearwater, a young wolf pack member, to wait out the fight.
In the morning, Jacob becomes upset when he overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and threatens to join the fight and get himself killed. Bella stops Jacob by kissing him, and she comes to realize that she is in love with him as well. During the battle, Victoria tracks Edward's scent to Bella's forest hiding place, and Edward is forced to fight. Edward manages to decapitate Victoria and her vampire army is destroyed. Afterwards, Bella explains to Jacob that while she loves him, her love for Edward is greater. After receiving a wedding invitation from Edward, Jacob runs away in his wolf form to escape his heartbreak over Bella's decision to become a vampire.
An intriguing lovestory to deal with, the scenery was great and the plot was good as well as the characters so that it deserves it's boxoffice success. As far as entertainment is concerned what more can anyone ask for...

It's saturday once more... feels like a long time since my last blog. My last two weeks sked been busy at work... Well , now is my time for a bit of a break and somehow do some blogs... really missed a lot.
Glad to have some avocado in store... looks good enough for a nice shake. It's in season right now and it's one of my favorites.
Here's my recipe:
1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
2 cups ice (16 to 20 ice cubes)
1/2 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1/2 to 1 cup cold non-fat milk
Scoop avocado flesh into blender. Add milk, ice and sugar to desired taste. Blend until pureed.
Now that's the best I can think of about avocados. But there's obviously a lot of recipes for it. Guacamole, salads, soups, breakfast, and desserts. Still i love my avocado shake.
As for nutritional facts it is said that avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a "nutrient booster" by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit.

Back to School
Vacation is over and it's school time once more. One thing very exciting about the opening of classes are new uniforms, bags, shoes, as well as all the other stuffs. Shopping comes in and we tend to buy just for the sake of buy. Really makes such a magical moment to look forward to every school year. Maybe it is the prospect of new experiences and seeing old friends. Well, I guess everyone of us has had those experiences.
I myself was not able to resist buying new things for the opening of classes and here are a few of back to school stuff I managed to gather. It's a black bag I luckily bought for half the original price and a coin purse which I don't really need that much but just giving in to the feeling of wanting it. Haha! School is in and a student must be ready so that part of it is boosting our self-confidence with new things and the idea of accomplishing more than what we have achieved in the previous year. What else can I say but goodluck kids! See you all in school...
