let the countdown begin!

suffering from ocd - obsessive cullen disorder

this is the reason why i have been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks. i am hooked on the twilight saga. or addicted, as my boyfriend likes to describe it.

i actually didn't plan on reading the twilight saga. even if most of my friends were hooked on it when it first came out, i didn't plan on reading it coz in all honesty, vampires didn't really appeal to me. but when i came across the books on ebay, which were selling for a mere Php 1,000 for all four books, i thought, what the hell, might as well see what the fuss was all about.

2 weeks and four and a half books later, i am completely sold on the whole cullen universe. i just can't seem to put it down! i keep reading and re-reading the whole series, and i even downloaded the outtakes and first few chapters of the foiled midnight sun from stephenie meyer's website. i just can't get enough of edward and bella!

though the series wasn't perfect (as the case of breaking dawn), i was amazed at how stephenie was able to let us imagine and fantasize about her whole fictional universe. the series made me wish i was bella and that edward was real. i envy at how stephenie was able to make this all possible.

but now that the whole series is done, midnight sun is on hold, i am now looking forward to my next cullen fix- the twilight movie coming out in november! i can't wait.

damn you steve jobs!

because i have been lusting over the white 3g iphone for months now. it would look so perfect with my ibook and ipod. *seesh* i can be such a geek sometimes.

why does apple have to create so many cool stuff that ordinary human beings would love to have, but then have to pay and arm and a leg for? it. is. so. unfair.

i have been contemplating about buying the iphone when it first came out, but then i convinced myself not to because of the following reasons:

1. it is very expensive for a phone. i mean, paying 20+k for a phone? i would understand a pricey notebook or a camera, but a phone is just so impractical. besides, i heard the built-in camera wasn't that good.

2. it is not supported locally. the original iphone did not officially come out here in the philippines, but it was still available courtesy of our trusty greenhills and our friendly neighborhood smugglers. i wasn't comfortable with that set-up and i wanted my iphone (if i do purchase one) to be legal with my service provider.

3. it's not production-friendly. since my work heavily relies on texting clients and the crew back and forth for shoots, its keyboard-less setup is quite hard for me, since it makes it close to impossible to text someone at lightning speed. which means i would always end up calling everyone, which will take my already sky-high phone bill to the roof.

so i was content and happy with my trusty nokia when apple suddenly announced the birth of the 3g iphone a few months ago--meaning it is a new and improved version of the iphone and it comes in white. it didn't help either that globe suddenly announced that they are officially distributing the 3g iphone here in the philippines late this year.

that is so not good because now i want one. i want. i want. i want one!!!
