I bet the title got you thinking what am I doing writing about the prominent Muslim philosopher.
Well, I'm curently gathering information on Ibnu Khaldun and his contributions to Muslim civilization and the world in general for my CTU151 presentation tomorrow afternoon. (Our professor gave us the assignment since the first day of class, I just started around 10pm today. *wink*)
I do want to write about him. What I noticed, actually. See, as I was reading through the notes about him and his biography. I noticed the date where his journey begins. Which is when the great plague swept over Spain.
Come on, people. Does this ring any bell? Nothing at all?
Here's a hint. "Save him! Do everything you can! Save him!"
So? Still don't have it?
Okay, okay. I'm going to tell you the answer: Edward Cullen.
Carlisle Cullen saved Edward during the plague.
Remember now?

We ARE Vampires
I found this article on one of my favorite site, NotAlwaysRight.com.
I never thought of it that way before. This made my day. We're all bloodsucking vampires.
p/s: With the hours of sleep I get these few weeks, this is no surprise.

Me: “Hi, this is anesthesia. How can I help you?”
Caller: “This is the blood bank, right?”
Me: “No, this is anesthesia.”
Caller: “That’s the same thing, right?”
Me: “Not really.”
Caller: “Well, what is anesthesia?”
Me: “The stuff that puts you to sleep before surgery.”
Caller: “Well who cares about that c**p!”
Me: “People who need surgery?”
Caller: “No! You know what they need? BLOOD!”
Me: “Okay…but you still have the wrong number.”
Caller: “Vampires need blood! You’re not a vampire because you don’t need blood! Humans don’t need blood!”
Me: “Sir, humans need blood just as much as a vampire.”
Caller: “Wait, so humans are vampires?”
Me: “No, they just need–”
Caller: “Holy f***! I’M A VAMPIRE! You just made my day!”
Me: “Well, no–”
Caller: “Thank you sooo much!” *click*

Teacher: So what do you want to do when you grow up?
Me: Edward Cullen. :D
Me: Edward Cullen. :D
- How do you stop Jacob Black from attacking you?
You pick up a stick, throw it and yell 'fetch'!
- Why can't people stay angry at Jasper Hale?
He calms them
- Rosalie Hale was told to find something just as or more beautiful then herself.
She came back with a mirror...
- Alice Cullen and the Hulk were on a cruise and the ship sank, and they got trapped on an island, who would win a fight between them?
There would be no fight becasue Alice would have seen the ship sink in her visions and never got on!
-Jasper will never be a therapist becasue he already knows how you feel about that.
-What happened to the man who kept a secret from Edward Cullen?
Nothing, Edward already knew what the secret was!
-What happened when Emmett Cullen stubbed his toe?
He made the whole city collapse ;)
-How many Twilighters does it take to screw on a light bulb?
I don't know, they're all too busy fighting over who gets to be Mrs Cullen
-How do you irritate Edward Cullen?
Buy him a dog and call it Jacob!
-Jasper Hales first job was as a paperboy, there were no survivors.
Hahaha. I found this on a website. Funny! Definitely not me. I'm more of a Gossip Girl addict. Chuck Bass kicks Edward Cullen's ass anyday!
Maybe I should write a post on Chuck Bass. I have more than enough Twilight-related posts in my blog already.
Bella's Lullaby
The lullaby in the video above is "River Flows in You" by Yiruma. Not the official Bella's lullaby as you may heard in the movie, which is "Synthesia" by Carter Burwell (in the video below).
I prefer Yiruma's version.
Framing Hanley - Alone in This Bed
The video is inspired by none other than the Twilight saga.
I like this song very much. What do you think?
Twilight Quotes
Ever since introduced to Twilight, I have been a huge fan of it. I owe it all to Viv, who suggested it to Intan (who then forced me to buy the book for her). They say it was like another Harry Potter-esque series, instead of potions and spells, its mythical creatures.
To be honest, I wasn't even remotely interested. Never thought its an epic love story. After all, Harry Potter is not a romance story! J. K. Rowling only added romance in the series in the last 3 books. (Yes, I read the Harry Potter series too.) But Viv was like "You HAVE to read Twilight! It's AWESOME!" and went on and on with it. So, I decided to entertain her wishes and look for it in bookstores. Note the 's' behind 'bookstore'. Yes, for weeks I went to many bookstores in Kota Kinabalu & Kuala Lumpur. They're always out of stock. At that point, I was curious and convinced that the book was indeed as Viv said.
Once I get my hands on one of the book, I was hooked. I even bought hamsters and named them after Edward and Bella. (Unfortunately, they died due to their forbidden love) I couldn't get enough of it. I searched for the sequel. Unable to find them in stores, I downloaded them. Illegal, I know. But so what?
There are many quotes from the books that I truly love. Here's some in random order.
Your scent, it's like a drug to me.
You are my exact brand of heroin.
-Edward Cullen in Twilight
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
What a stupid lamb.
What a sick masochistic lion.
What a sick masochistic lion.
-Edward Cullen, Bella Swan in Twilight
If I could dream at all, it will be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it.
-Edward Cullen in Twilight
Besides, friends don't let friends drive drunk.
Drunk?
You're intoxicated by my very presence.
-Edward Cullen, Bella Swan in Twilight
Today is the first & last day of forever.
-Bella Swan in Breaking Dawn
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn’t know how potent that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
-Bella Swan in Twilight
No spiders?
Nope.
No radioactivity?
Nope.
Dang.
Kryptonite doesn't bother me either.
-Bella Swan, Edward Cullen in Twilight
Sleep, my Bella. Dreams happy dreams. You are the only one who ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. Sleep, my only love.
-Edward Cullen in Eclipse
I hear voices in my head, and you're worried that you're the freak.
-Edward Cullen in Twilight
It's too easy to be myself with you.
-Edward Cullen in Twilight
Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ….And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.
-Edward Cullen in New Moon
To me, it was like you were some kind of demon, summoned straight from my own personal hell to ruin me.
-Edward Cullen in Twilight
I’ll miss you. No matter how short a time you’re gone.
-Alice Cullen in Midnight Sun
High school. Or was purgatory the right word?
-Edward Cullen in Midnight Sun
I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures.
-Bella Swan in Eclipse
I have been tortured. Alice painted my toenails. -Bella Swan in Eclipse
I told you — you don’t see yourself clearly at all. You’re not like anyone I’ve ever known. You fascinate me.
-Edward Cullen in Twilight
Maybe…if you weren’t a disgusting vampire who was planning to suck out the life of the girl I love…well, no,not even then.
-Jacob Black in Breaking Dawn
Fall down again, Bella?
No, Emmett. I punched a werewolf in the face.
-Emmet Cullen, Bella Swan in Eclipse
You did it again.
What?
Dazzling me.
Oh.
It's not your fault. You can't help it.
-Bella Swan, Edward Cullen in Twilight
I know it will be hard, but this is what I want. I want you, and I want you forever. One lifetime is simply not enough for me.
-Bella Swan in Breaking Dawn
I told you --
Did you know 'I Told You So' have a brother, Jacob? His name is 'Shut The Hell Up'!
-Jacob Black, Bella Swan in Breaking Dawn
I could see that now - how the universe swirled around this one point. I'd never seen the symmetry of the universe before, but now it was plain. The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place I stood. It was the baby girl in the blonde vampire's arms that held me here now. Renesmee.
-Jacob Black in Breaking Dawn
He's like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can't live without him now. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun.
-Jacob Black in Eclipse
If there were any way for me to become human for you - no matter what the price was, I would pay.
-Edward Cullen in Eclipse
My heart hasn't beat in almost ninety years, but this was different. It was like my heart was gone, like I was hollow. Like I'd left everything that was inside me here with you.
That's funny.
Funny?
I thought it was just me. Lots of pieces of me went missing, too. I haven't been able to really breathe in so long. Any my heart. That was definitely lost.
-Edward Cullen, Bella Swan in New Moon
Do you think I'll get better at this? That my heart someday stop trying to jump out of my chest whenever you touch me?
-Bella Swan in New Moon
Wow. That's a long list. And that's not everything. There's still many more quotes from the books that I truly love. Did you notice that most of the quotes are from Edward Cullen? Well, I'm a girl, he's Edward, connect the dots. When I read the books, I always imagine myself in Bella's shoes. My heart melts whenever I read the words that Edward says to Bella.
I wonder if I will ever find my own human-version of Edward Cullen. If he's turn out to be a vampire, I don't mind.
The Twilight Saga
Yes! I finally finished reading all four of them. All FOUR! I read the first one, "Twilight", a while back. When Viv insisted Intan to buy and read it, and Intan of course told me to buy and read it instead, so I can tell her everything about it later. I was looking for another author to read anyway, since I've read all works by Cecelia Ahern, Dorothy Kroomson and Sophie Kinsella. Viv was so insistant, I believe that it's good. Well, after reading "Twilight", I'm in love with the protagonist, Edward Cullen. (I'm very much aware that the actual protagonist is Bella Swan, but she's lame.)
Not longer after I've read "Twilight", the movie version of it finally showing in cinema. Since I couldn't explain it well to Intan, we went to see the movie. Intan, of course, was in love with Edward Cullen as well. We even called Viv as soon as we stepped out of the cinema to tell her how much we love the story. (And Edward. We even childishly argued who deserved Edward more between the three of us.) For those who haven't read the novel version of the story, like the movie very much. For those who have read it, is very much disappointed with it. There's a lot of changes been made. A lot of scenes been cut. Scenes that let us know that Edward is a mindreader and Bella is an accident prone. Alice can see the future. Scenes where Edward and Bella having dinner (or at least, Bella is) after Edward saved her. Disappointed that the casting crew didn't able to find a more beautiful guy to play the role Edward. Not that George Pattison is not handsome, from the description in the book, Edward Cullen is supposed to be much more beautiful.
Afterward, I've been trying to find the sequels to this book in all major bookstores. "New Moon", "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn". But they're always out of stock. I can't blame them. Since the movie's came out, the series became more and more popular. I didn't give up thou. And Viv found an early draft of Edward version of "Twilight" leaked online. "Twilight" is written from Bella's perspective. "Midnight Sun" is written from Edward's perspective. It's a draft, so it is not done. It is much more exciting than "Twilight" because Edward's a mindreader, so there's more insight on the other characters in this story. Such as Jessica is actually a hypocrite, Angela is nothing but pure kindness, Mike Newton is obsessed with Bella. Etc. Etc. Viv warned me before she gave me the copy of "Midnight Sun", that it is not complete, and I will be disappointed. Well, it's more like frustrated actually, not able to read the end of it. Viv said that Stephenie Meyer refused to continue writing it, because it has leaked. Well, at least I know the truth about some characters.
In the "New Moon", there's less of Edward in it. Instead, there's more of Jacob Black. (I'm arguing in my head whether or not to tell you about this book. And I decided that you should read it by yourself to find out.) And in the next series, Jacob Black seems to be head to head with Edward Cullen. Jacob Black has finally believe the myth about vampires and werewolves. And there's more vampires in the next series. Much more vampires. Multiple covens. There's even a vampire version of royal family. Stephenie Meyer has a wild imagination.
Obviously, Bella is an accident prone, so we can always trust her to mess things up. Edward's seem to thing she's jinxed, too. Because no matter how hard he tries to save and make things better for Bella, there's always trouble waiting ahead. As the only human, (excluding their schoolmates) Bella is the one who can't make any decision. She can't choose between Edward and Jacob. Well, she chose Edward, and Jacob is making it difficult. But she didn't really let Jacob go. Opps. I'm revealing the story line already. Better stop it.
Anyway, I didn't get to buy the other books. Seeing its always out of stock. So, I've downloaded them. Yes, I know, illegal. But what else can I do? I can't find them on shelves anywhere! I can be very attached to something I read. Once I started reading, I can't seem to have the will to put the book down. Or in this case, my laptop off. So, it took me less than a week to finish reading all three titles. Yes, less than a week. (I know Adib think I'm crazy.) How could you not? It's so exciting, and I couldn't bear the anxiety and anticipation. So, I continue reading as long as I can. Luckily I'm too lazy to bring my laptop everywhere, and I couldn't possibly use them in class. If not, I'll bet I can finish reading them in 3 days. A title a day.
So, all of you who haven't read the Twilight Saga yet, you've missed out a lot. Go grab the book now! (Including you, Adib)
