Wow, another month gone. Boy, does time fly. This month again, I was completely busy, but I had a great month. :) Now I’m looking forward to summer :D

Drinking: Tim Horton’s Iced Cappuccino :) That drink always cools me down whenever it gets hot. /isn’t much of a Starbucks fan. ;P

Reading: A monthly Japanese shōjo manga (manga for girls) magazine called Ribon (りぼん). In this magazine, there are a series of mangas from mangaka that I may or may not know. ;P My Japanese teacher’s daughter gave them to me as a gift since she has no interest in them anymore. She gave me alot since they’re monthly so I’ll be reading alot of manga this summer! ;D ありがとうございます！

Missing: My friends at ballet class. I won’t be seeing them again next year since I decided to stick with music. I will never forget the time we had together and we will keep in touch. xoxo

Loving: My new BlackBerry Curve! ;D Yeah, I switched phones. If some of you guys didn’t know, I previously had an iPhone 3G. I loved it alot, but it wasn’t easy to text with. Plus, YouTube kept on crashing or some of my other apps kept on crashing. I gave it to my dad as a Father’s Day present and he loves it. Now we just gotta find a provider for him so he can use it. And some music too. ;P

Finished: My Japanese lessons :) I did my test and my last lesson on Monday and I think I did 50% x.x; So technically, I think I failed. XD But I WILL be studying this summer (since I have nothing to do) and I’ll be redoing the test again when I go back in September. I also finished going to my last ballet lesson for the year, like I said previously, I won’t be going back as I will be focusing more on singing and guitar lessons :) I will miss everyone. Seriously. But I still stay in contact with them through BlackBerry and Facebook. :D

You guys must be shocked to see me posting a lot this month. Even I am. :) I’ve never blogged alot in a month when I was with my previous host. I hope to keep that up for the summer. Speaking of Summer, that’s our topic for the Things I Love post for today since Tuesday was the first day of Summer, but then again, it’s been really hot these days. So I guess you can say that Summer’s been here since we started to have heat waves.

Other than the heat wave, Summer is my favorite season. You can have time to relax, travel, have fun and spending time with your family and friends. You can go swimming, take a tan or whatever you like to do. I have to say that Summer is more better than Winter. Every year I would always look forward to summer. Basically every year, I would sleep in or sleep late. (Then again I always do that XD) I would usually go to Toronto and go to Ontario Place, go to a concert, hang out with my friends at the mall, get an ice cream or Tim Horton‘s Iced Cappuccino. :) I hope you guys have an awesome summer with your friends and family!

Note: I know that I’ve previously written this topic on the blog before, but like I said I’m starting over from scratch. :) I hope you guys don’t mind. And my best friend Donna wanted me to bring this topic back up again so this post is for her :)

When I was young, I love to sing songs from Disney movies. And up to this point I still do. Disney Classics has wonderful songs that you can never forget. Like there’s Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Reflection from Mulan, You Can Fly! from Peter Pan, I Won’t Say I’m In Love from Hercules and aside from Disney there are Deliver Us & When You Believe from The Prince of Egypt. I would always sing around the house until nighttime. When I was young, I had no plans to be a singer until one day back in elementary school. This girl in my class heard me singing during an assembly (Everyone else was quiet). She came up to me and say, “You have a great voice! You should be a singer!” I was really shocked to hear that. So I gave it more thought and finally decided to be a singer when I’m older. I asked my mom my mom to sign me up for singing lessons to improve my voice. That didn’t happen till I turned 18. (Did I got mad that I started singing lessons late? HELL YES! Am I happy that I’m getting lessons? Of course).

At the moment, I haven’t written any songs yet however, I do hope to do that in the future. All I have done so far is writing titles based on my feelings and relationships with other people and I have recorded some songs sung by other artists. ¹ When it comes to singing, my inspirational artists are Ofra Haza, Kanon Wakeshima, Demi Lovato, Akiko Shikata, Lady Gaga, Bonnie Pink, Yousei Teikoku and Goldfrapp. My biggest dream is to be the singing voice to a Disney Princess. Well, a future one. Hopefully, Disney will cast me one day. To the many people out there, if you love to sing, sing. No one can stop you. Doesn’t matter if you have a beautiful voice or not. Everyone has the freedom to do so. If you wish to come a singer, go for it. Ignore if people tell you that you can’t. Nothing is impossible if you don’t try and do it yourself. :)

1. Hello by Evanescence is my recent recorded song that I’ve done in my lesson. Please tell me what you think! ♥ [↩]

I never thought that I would talk about fashion on my blog. ;P I mean, I do love it but I never thought I’d talk actually about which type of fashion styles that I like :) I have to tell you that my love for fashion isn’t like the same as everyone else. Like, while girls love to wear nice clothes that makes them look like models (e.g: short skirts, big sunglasses, big earrings, necklaces, lip gloss, fake eyelashes, high heel sandals and shops at H&M, Urban Behavior and Abercrombie & Fitch), I love to wear converse, skinny jeans, shirts with images on it, black nail polish and chap stick. I bet a lot of people would say that I’m not normal. Well hey, you have your fashion sense and I have my own. Moving on with the post! The Things I Love topic for today is the Emo/Scene fashion style. :)

The time I first saw the style was in my first year of high school. Of course, the school I went to, had uniforms. But some of the students, had the hairstyle. I was in awe every time I would see them in the hallways. For casual days when we would have them, I would see a few students wearing the Emo/Scene style. One of my friends had the style back in high school but now she doesn’t. Is it bad that if I told you that I tried to do my hair and clothing style like that? :P For clothes, I didn’t get much help from any of the stores except for Hot Topic.¹ For accessories like bows, clips, I went to Claire’s, Ardene’s and Hot Topic. I really love the style because it’s creative. People add highlights and teases their hair. You can wear bright or dark colors. Now, if you’re gonna ask me what am I, I would tell you that I’m neither. :)

1. I LOVE that store so much! It’s like a second home to me. :D [↩]

Warning: Before I continue on with my post, I’d just like to give a warning to whomever comments this post, to NOT post any hateful comments. I seriously love this series ALOT and I’m very tired of hearing them. Especially about this series. And beware of the spoilers. Thank you.

Before watching the movies or reading the books, I always hated reading books. I would always read magazines or flyers and such. When I changed schools in 2008, it was the second semester, I was sitting beside 2 girls in my religion class; one was listening to Yiruma’s River Flows In You on her iPod. It was the first time I listened to the song. I loved it. She mentioned Twilight at the same time. I was like, “what’s that?” They told me it was a teen novel. I told them that I hated reading books. But both girls told me that the novel was good and they were waiting for Breaking Dawn to come out. So I told them that I would buy the books and would try reading them. So after school, I went to the mall and went to Coles (it’s a bookstore that’s like Barnes & Noble in the U.S.). My mom bought all three books for me and was shocked to see that I was buying books. She said to me that I better read them XD. So went I got come, I started reading.

To be honest, I kinda got bored in the first chapter, but then as I kept reading, I actually got interested. The part that got me to keep reading was when Bella was looking at the Cullens in the cafeteria and the relationship between Edward and Bella. Especially how she’s determined to know who he is. I kept reading and reading. Even during class! My teachers got so mad at me that they’d say they’ll take away my book if I don’t stop reading during class. I never knew how this novel would have such a hold on me. I read the book for 4/5 days. As soon as I finished reading, I started to read New Moon. While reading, I heard that they were going to make a movie based on Twilight. Of course, I was excited. I would read updates on Everglow or on Twilight Livejournal community, watch the MTV Twilight Tuesdays on my laptop. When I saw the first promotional pictures of the Cullens, I was amazed how these awesome people look similar and bringing these characters to life. :D

When I was reading New Moon of course my heart broke as well after Edward left and how Bella was acting. Trust me, if I had a boyfriend who would do the same, I’d don’t know what I’d do. I admit, that I did started to hate him, but after hearing that Bella commited suicide (but she really didn’t) and he wanted to join her in death, I couldn’t. I honestly couldn’t. I understand now why he left. He’s a vampire and she’s a human. She can be easily killed by other vampires. Their worlds are different. Obviously, you would do anything to protect the one you love. Am I right or am I wrong? He loves her so dearly, it makes me cry (in a good way). And another shocker, he asks her to marry him. That added a bonus to why I love/respect Edward :) Seriously, you can’t hate him. He’s basically the ideal guy that alot of girls dream about (including myself); he loves Bella, he cares about her, he protects her, he’s by her side. Those are the 4 keys as to why I love/respect him. Sure, he may not be real, but he’s still an awesome character.

Continuing with Eclipse, of course I should have mentioned him earlier, but I don’t really like him much because of his actions in this part of the novel. Of course in Twilight he’s been mentioned. Bella has a childhood friend named Jacob Black (named Jake for short). He’s a werewolf. He confesses to Bella that he has feelings for her. Which obviously complicates Edward and Bella’s relationship as Jake keeps telling her to be with him instead of Edward. (Seriously, when you see someone in a relationship, don’t bother them). Continuing on with Edward and Bella’s relationship, we still didn’t know if she accepted his proposal. (While reading that part in the novel, I was screaming for her to say yes. Mom heard and she was like what’s wrong? ;P) But before asking again, Bella has a favor of her own. Of course, she wants to live with him and be a vampire for all eternity, but she wants to make love to him before becoming a vampire. They both make a compromise; he promises to until after they are married and she accepts his proposal. And of course I was happy :D I love this relationship so much that even though the novels are completed, I read fanfiction. :) Edward and Bella will ALWAYS be my #1 OTP.

And of course, ending with Breaking Dawn. The novel that everyone hates because of one single character. Jeez. Over here in Canada in each Chapter store (I’m not sure if it’s all of them but the one close to my house had one), there was a Midnight Masqurade party for the release of Breaking Dawn. Of course, I preordered the book since May I think. It was at the same time I bought the special edtion of Eclipse to read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn. ;P I would have started to read as soon as I got my book, but I was completely jet lagged from my trip to Montreal XD So I waited till morning. Well, first the lovely couple gets married. (Which I am very happy for!) :) They spend their honeymoon on a fiction island which is called Isle Esme. The island belongs to Edward’s adoptive mother Esme given to her by her husband Carlisle. (Isn’t it sweet and romantic?! :D) But soon, Bella discovers that she’s pregnant as she gets ill, gets an appetite for eggs and her hormones are a bit high. I kinda knew this would happen because of the title; Chapter 7: Unexpected.

So they both go back to Forks as Edward tells Bella that Carlisle will “take care of it.” As soon as she hears that, Bella immediately calls Rosalie (Edward’s adoptive sister) for help. Personally, I hate abortion. I really hate it. I cannot stand it. I honestly don’t know how people can do that. You’re killing an innocent child who just existed. Sure, it was unexpected. But it was made out of love. How can you possibly do that? It just breaks my heart. Bella already loves the child already (as mentioned before) because it made out of their love. During her pregnancy, she becomes very weak and cannot digest human food. She can only drink blood. Soon after, with his mind reading gift, Edward hears the child’s thoughts and says that she/he (eventually is a she) already loves Bella. Soon after she has the child via emergency c-section. (*Shudders* Reminds me how my mom keeps reminding me how she had me. Trust me, it never ends.) She almost dies if Edward hadn’t bitten her and given his venom. So Bella undergoes the painfully transformation from human to vampire which lasts 3 days. When she wakes up, she goes to hunt before seeing her half human/half vampire daughter Renesmee. When Bella meets her daughter for the first time with her vampire eyes, she sees that she looks more like Edward and she has her brown eyes when Bella was human.

From that point everything’s good for Bella and the rest of the Cullens. Here’s another debate, I really hate hearing. Alot of people complain and starting to hate how Bella has every thing she wanted. So what? It is possible to have what you want. I don’t know why people are complaining. And another complaint; alot of people keep saying that Breaking Dawn doesn’t exist; the series only ended at Eclipse because of Renesmee. Dang. What kind of fans are you if you didn’t like Breaking Dawn? If you liked the series, you would like all books. I read and love all 4 books. If you don’t like one or 2, then you’re not a true fan. Now, for the movies! The cast is wonderful! I’ve been going to each release and seeing the movies numerous times. ;P Except for the day it got released, I got sucky seats. That’s my only complaint. But other than that, I’ve loved the movies. :) The only time I actually got a good seat was for Eclipse and was able to see the whole screen for once. XD Now the teaser trailer for Breaking Dawn part 1 is going to be released during the MTV movie awards :D I honestly can’t wait. I’ve seen the preview and I can already tell that they’ve done a good job with the movie. :) What’s sad is the whole series both movie and novel will be really over. And people will forget that the series even existed. :(

Even though the novels are complete and the movies will be complete by next year, I will ALWAYS love the Twilight novels and movies with my heart. xoxo No one can change that. Of course, I will always watch them on my blu-ray and screencap the movies for graphic purposes and add them to my gallery. ;) So far I have 3 copies of Twilight; 2 on blu-ray (one from the DVD/blu-ray release and one from Japan), and 1 on DVD (the 3 disc special edition from HMV), 2 copies of New Moon (both on blu-ray: one from DVD/blu-ray release and again another one from Japan) and 2 copies of Eclipse (once again both on blu-ray: one from DVD/blu-ray release and again another one from Japan). I hope to buy New Moon and Eclipse on DVD to screencap since my laptop doesn’t screencap blu-ray discs. I’m planning to do the same thing for Breaking Dawn. Just recently, my mom bought me a Eclipse blanket from Hot Topic and of course, I sleep with it :) Whenever the house is cold, I always wrap it around me :D It keeps me toasty warm ^_____^ She also bought me a few t-shirts, a replica of Bella’s bracelet (the one she wore in Eclipse with the diamond and wolf) and ring.

The moment I’ll never forget in my life was when Robert and Kristen came to Toronto a week before the release of Twilight and when Daniel Cudmore also came to Toronto at a convention (sadly I forgot to bring my book :(, but I was lucky to get a picture of him! :D) to promote Eclipse :) I don’t know if they’ll ever see my blog post but, to the cast and crew of the Twilight movies; thank you so much for bringing these movies to life ~ They will always keep a special place in my heart ♥ Now to send off, here is a little picspam of some of the Twilight stuff I have :D Enjoy~ :D
