I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.

now i moved on

i woke up at about 3:30 in the morning and had difficulty going back to bed. i guess it's just my body clock. the cold weather is really the reason why i sleep a lot during the weekend. sometimes, i feel like a robot with wake up and sleep switch located in my nape


as promised, i'll blog about stieg larsson's the girl who kicked the hornet's nest which i just finished reading about a week ago. sorry, i've lost track of time.

the girl with a dragon tattoo is about harriet vanger's disappearance whilst the girl who kicked the hornet's nest is about the complications thereafter. berger moved to SMP as the new editor-in-chief but later on moved back to millenium; blomkvist's never ending support for lisbeth and even asked her sister annika, a women's rights lawyer to stand up in court in lisbeth's defense; the killing of zalachenko, lisbeth's biological father who happened to be an ex-russian spy; the face up of lisbeth and his half brother niederman (which was just divulged later in the book); and last but not the least, lisbeth's acquittal from all charges against her. she then regained her civil rights which she was robbed off since childhood. the state eventually protected her father and locked her up in a mental asylum. it was a real surprise that annika pulled it off being lisbeth's lawyer although it wasn't expected at first due to her lack of expertise. reading the book resembled watching a movie about court trials. imagine being locked up in a mental asylum just to protect an influential and true enemy of the state. the book was political in nature and described what was the political climate in sweden back then by using fictional characters.

my latest read, the third book the girl who played with fire is also as interesting as the other two books except that lisbeth is now well off and now able to afford travelling, has her own company called wasps enterprises which was derived from her alias as a high profile hacker.

moving on, my sister and i watched breaking dawn yesterday (finally!). i was really yearning to watch that darn flick being a fan of stephanie meyer. the movie will be last shown on november 30 and that explains why i really squished it in my haphazard schedule hehe.

breaking dawn (part 1)

the movie opened with jacob brooding over bella's upcoming wedding with no one else but edward. his father tried to run after him and under the rain he picked up and read the wedding invitation which was drenched in water.

the movie showcased bella and edwards unyielding love for each other. then came the wedding, kirsten stewart did lose weight in the movie although she's been lanky before. i guess it's 'cuz she need to look really feeble. the wedding was whimsical and dark at the same time because of the filter use in making the movie. going back, bella wore this old fashioned wedding dress paired with a very long veil. her hair was accentuated with this hair clip which was from her parents handed to her on her wedding day. bella was so scared as she walk down the aisle but when she saw edward all her fears ceased. jacob paid herna visit which made her very happy but he suddenly got upset with bella's decision to give her life away to edward when the time comes. so, he was pulled by his wolf family away from the wedding.

the couple spent their honeymoon in rio de janeiro, in isle isme, edward's mother's vacation home. the honeymoon was just cut short after bella's unexpected pregnancy. the two went back to forks with bella's bulging tummy and aggravating health condition. jacob went to the cullens abode to check on bella just to find that her condition is serious. edward was guilty all along and been blaming himself since they got back from rio asked jacob to convince bella to get rid of the child which bella didn't as expected. the wolf pack were divided and alliance were form. jacob veered away from sam's pack, seth and leah followed suit. bella died after giving birth to renesmee but edward's venom revived her after it was injected to her before her heart stopped. bella gave birth to beautiful baby girl they names renemee. edward disclosed to bella that jacob has imprinted on renesmee, which means anyone who was imprinted on cannot be harmed by anyone from the wolf pack. the movie ended with bella's transformation, she opened her eyes now in crimson.

i liked the movie because there was not much alterations and the book was followed religiously. except that it was cut short to fit the two hour movie duration. well, i'll be waiting for part 2.
