Hope to be a vampire

I confess, I am a paranormal addict. I do believe in the existence of engkantos, duwendes, UFOs and aliens, the afterlife, creatures of the dark, angels. But aside from witches and warlocks, I have been so fascinated most especially by vampires.

I don't know what it is about vampires. Ever since I was young, I dreamed of becoming one, fascinated by their immortality, their grace, their superhuman abilities, their inexplicable charm ... I have always wanted to watch vampire movies and TV shows. Even the comedy vampire movies (Leslie Nielsen's take on Dracula was so hilarious)!

Over the years, I've come to believe that my fascination for vampires waned and probably disappeared altogether -- until Twilight. It was one of the books that really captivated me, just like Harry Potter and Angels and Demons did. But reading Twilight was a record for me. Considering all things I did over the weekend, I still managed to finish the book by Monday morning (I bought it Friday night).

Yes, it is a love story, which typically bores me to death. But the nice thing about this is that it shows how a soul-less being can actually have a soul, know how to love, have real human emotions. It debunks myths associated with vampires and displays how one such creature can be as human and as humane as possible--the vampire that I have always wanted to become.

I am currently reading the second book in the series, New Moon. I hope to finish it by Friday, considering that it is a work week, and finally read Eclipse. I can't wait for the fourth book to be released. I can't wait to see the movie to see how it deviates from the book--or not.

Next project? A trip to the dentist to get permanent vampire fangs.
