Edward Cullen

[tweetmeme source=”ibethyap”] Recently, I’ve been asked about my thoughts on Edward. Well, I love him! He’s absolutely perfect. That’s the first thing that pops in my mind. But if I have to analyze why I love him so… then… let me count the ways.

1. He’s sweet – He opens car door for Bella at a super fast speed. Not only is he sweet towards Bella but also towards Alice and Esme.
2. He’s attentive – He has his eyes fixed on Bella, even if the waitress was flirting with him. He paid no attention.
3. He’s romantic – His proposal was so romantic that no sane woman can say no to it. And he was willing to die knowing that Bella died.
4. He’s the jealous type – He was jealous that Jacob can give Bella gifts, in turn, he gave her a gift as well.
5. He has a big heart – Although it might hurt him like hell, he tolerates Bella’s flirting with Jacob
6. He’s possessive – He tries to stop Bella from seeing Jacob because it might harm her.
7. He’s generous – He provides Bella with everything she needs and not need. He just likes flourishing her with anything.
8. He’s funny – I love his wits. I love it when he said he’s 17 for quite some time.
9. He’s talented – He can read people’s minds
10. He’s resourceful – He read people’s minds to find Bella in Twilight
11. He’s scary – He can be super scary if he wants to
12. He plays the piano – I’m a sucker for musicians and this trait increased my love for him
13. He’s over-protective – He always think of what’s best for Bella and try to abide by it.
14. He’s understanding – He always try to assess the situation and grant whatever Bella wishes even if it breaks his heart.
15. He’s supportive – He’s always by Bella’s side extending any help needed.
16. He’s handsome – Maybe he’ll fall in the ikemen category where you simply can’t take your eyes off him.
17. He has values – Although it was so hard for him to resist the temptation of biting Bella, he did so because of his virtues.
18. He has self control – He was also willing to ignore Bella because he believes it was for her own sake.
19. He speaks his mind – Even if it’s not easy for guys to be open, Edward is not afraid to share his feelings, thoughts. I absolutely love him when he’s sharing what he thinks. It makes me understand him more.
20. He’s super cool – I like his apathetic attitude towards what people think about him.

The reasons above are the top of my mind explanations why I’m head over heels towards Edward Cullen and why I absolutely hate Bella Swan for continuously hurting Edward. She’s only tolerable because Edward can’t survive without her. Nevertheless, I love Edward and I hate Bella.

I’m super happy that Robert Pattinson played Edward Cullen. He’s PERFECT for the role as he’s super hot. Love him. Made me love Edward more. Reading the book was fun but seeing Rob as Edward is heaven.

Because of him, I’m collecting the blue-ray version of the movie and buying the movie tie-in books. I also intend to buy book with movie cover as soon as the Breaking Dawn cover is out.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

[tweetmeme source=”ibethyap”] I started reading this book because it’s a spin-off from the Twilight saga. Since this is the first vampire book that I’m reading. It’s a bit hard to digest the details. In fact, my knees weakened at the mention of blood drinking.

I have to agree to Stephenie Meyer, yes, I find the character of Bree interesting. It’s fun to read it in the perspective of a newborn, discovering things along the way and making you feel how they felt all through out. Of course, their scene is Eclipse is really short but it makes you wonder why newborns think the way they do.

I like Bree Tanner because of her pride. She didn’t stoop down to the level of other “stupid” vampire causing troubles. I also like the character of Diego even if he is the right-hand of Riley, he has his own way of thinking. Doing things the way he wants and not afraid to experiment on stuffs even if it’s life-threatening (you know what I mean).

This book is just like fan-fiction. A short story focusing on one of the minor characters in the story. I do hope to see more spin-off stories from Stephenie, like Carlisle or Jasper or Alice. Better yet, I like to read Twilight from Edward’s perspective. After all, he’s the one I like in the saga and not Bella.
