This is what Lestat does to Twilight fans XD

WARNING: IF YOU'RE A TWILIGHT FAN, DO NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. BUT IF YOU WILL, IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM ANYMORE.

This is what happens when Twilight fans think they can marry vampires and sleep with them and have babies with them XD

So yeah, I'm anti-Twilight. Read a book, saw a movie. It just really sucked. I tried my best to comprehend it, but I was about to gag if I continue. I hated how SMeyer tries to recreate a new version of vampires. Ugh. If you ask me, they look like fairies to me.

What's worse? The fans... I don't even need to explain.

Behold, the Vampire Lestat. He's a rockstar. He doesn't sparkle but he can go out in the sun because of Akasha's blood, Queen of the Damned. He's 2 centuries old and he sucks blood from evildoers although he tends to break this rule sometimes. If you wanna know more, just read Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles".

Go Team Lestat :)

The Eldest

Never Back Down. It's a fight movie with a very awful soundtrack. It's a fairly predictable movie and maybe Star Movies is just idling time with this. Same old pride-builder egoistic testosterone-filled sweaty flick, but you know what got me into it? The world on your shoulders for being the eldest child of the family.

Oh man, whoever wrote this movie, he/she knew what it was like to be the goddamn eldest kid. I myself am the eldest and you can't believe the expectations they set for you that you end up clueless of your choices when your future comes. You don't even have the confidence to continue in your life anymore because you need a fucking approval. And if you're thinking this is bullshit? It's not my fucking fault anymore if you weren't born the goddamn first one in the family.

You have to set an example as a role model to your siblings. You have to make the right choices. You have to look out for your brothers. I didn't ask for this, but then again I didn't ask to be the second-born either. So I tried to set an example and looked out for my brothers as well. I thought hard of the right choices to make and all the while living my life as best as I could. I tried to stand up on my own and for the first time in my life I was selfish. So I started having a piece of my mind and making choices of my own to which I was barred from but I stood firm and defended what I believe is right.

And then when the time came that I actually made the wrong decision, I fell hard and, to my dismay, nobody picked me up. Not even parents and brothers and grandparents and friends can make me stand on my feet again because they never even bothered. They say the worst things at the wrong time--or better yet, they're never there at all. Funny, isn't it? No.

And then they punish me leaving my brothers out of my watch. Then, Deo died and I blame myself more entirely than ever for not guiding him and not looking out for him while I selfishly succumb to the pain of my own past mistakes. My life has changed and all of a sudden my kid brother gets a life because I can't get any!

Up to this day, I don't know what to do because I might make another mistake again for being myself too much. So I wait for some fucking approval of some sort that IT'S ACTUALLY GODDAMN OKAY TO BE HUMAN!

Fuck. If I only knew what to do, I wouldn't be in this black hole. And if I go back to being selfish again, I will really leave this place. Yeah, I'll leave everything behind and I wouldn't have any care and any worry at all anymore. That is so inviting and maybe in that time I wold actually know what to do.

But you know what? I didn't leave, did I? I still stayed and I'm waiting patiently for my time to depart from all of this. Is it to die? Is it to run away? Is it to fly? Is it to swim away from here? I don't know myself, but there's one thing I'm sure of: I'm fucking tired being the eldest. Why don't you guys try it? Let's see if you'll love the fucking attention because I know I don't. It's suffocating me to every cell of my being.

Feeling Lestat

For days now, I've been consuming myself with the sugary words of Anne Rice in her book "The Vampire Lestat" (the second book of "The Vampire Chronicles" and one of my favorite books). I just thought I needed some sanity in me to conform myself that vampires are dark creatures and not those kind as portrayed by Stephanie Meyer (author of the Twilight Saga) as glittery immortals repeating high school over and over again for the past hundred years. I needed to satisfy my knowledge that vampires are inexplicably charming but ruthlessly cunning at the same time.

Yes, that's what being a vampire is and not some pixie pansy who sparkles under the sun. Get a grip, people. Stephanie Meyer can't even write. Do you want some proof of how her pieces are categorized as "glorified fanfiction"? Here, lemme provide a piece of her literature: LINK

And it doesn't even surprise me that while reading that, I've read it like I was really reading fanfictions. Skimming and scanning, only reading the conversation parts. In totality, I don't read like that at all especially when I read a book, but this book presents itself as to be read like that—like it was inviting me to capture a sense of it without even bothering to be particular. That's what Stephanie Meyer's piece is.

I don't mean to be prude and bias, but I can't help compare her work to the famed Anne Rice. The idea that vampires are being crazed now when they already existed even before the Twilight Saga is pissing me off. Call me sadist, bitter and cruel, but this is one of the reasons why I don't like kids. They sensationalize over the simplest things that it makes me want to torture and kill them. Oh the luxury of it would satisfy my evil self but all I could do is slap them by the nape and brutally attack them with the dirtiest of words. Their virgin immaturity gags me to the core that sometimes their very existence makes me twisted and oftentimes I thought of giving in if not for the other angelic side of me.

So what's so special about "The Vampire Lestat"? The imagery is so pristine that I find myself watching everything inside my head. When Lestat thirsts for blood, the words are so full that I even thirst for blood too. The impact is so vivid and convincing that whenever I read it, I am in a pace of not stopping and always continuing up to what happens next. It is unpredictable and moving that I end up feeling whatever Lestat is feeling.

Even in the beginning of the book, I've already felt what the mortal Lestat felt. I laughed at the coincidences. It felt too good to be true but here it was, right in front me, the perfect words that described the inner depths of my soul back then that nobody understood. It scared me so I kept the thoughts to myself, but this book reveled into me. Every word flowed into my system and it read everything and accepted all of it like it was my friend forever. Yes, the book is that well-written.

Heck, it was even unbelievable that when he became a vampire, I had the same mind as his—his evil and human side, and even the angelic side. It made me feel not alone and that is quite a big of a deal for me because I don't have to rebel on everything anymore. Maybe on a few things, but not all the time anymore. Here's one of my favorite quotes from the book that I even had it posted on my FaceBook status message:

"I wasn't part of the world that cringed at such things. And with a smile, I realized that I was of the dark ilk that makes others cringe. Slowly and with great pleasure, I laughed."

I smiled too and I knew how dark he must've felt. I enjoyed it so much that maybe you'll find it insane, but for me, it is to keep my sanity. Feeling Lestat and feeding my evil thoughts enables me to see other things in a supposed "normal" perspective. Now that I look at it, it looks strange enough to the naked eye. Too bad, not many people feel it the way I did.

First Time I Watched Twilight

Few days ago, Star Movies aired "Twilight" and I thought I'll just watch this anyway so that I may have an idea what this movie's all about.

I already caught the movie at the scene where Bella noticed the color change in Edward's eyes and I think it was weird that he left instantly right after he made his "fluorescent" excuse about it. And since I hadn't watched the start of the movie, I'll let this one pass.

The funny thing I noticed is that he kept saying "We shouldn't be friends" and "Stay away from me" but he keeps popping out of nowhere and always making the first move to talk to her. I wanna tell him like "Dude, what's your problem? I thought you're avoiding her already, why you keep contradicting everything you say?" It would've been better if after what he said, Bella makes the effort to go near him and talk so that Edward will make the effort again but he has to shut up when he wants to tell her again this: "Stay away from me". So redundant.

And I finally saw the "sparkle" that everyone was talking about. I went "Oooh..." right in front of our Bravia and giggled because I don't remember vampires sparkling under the sun.

Everyone knows they burn under the sun. Queen of the Damned, Interview with the Vampire, Blade, Underworld, Van Helsing, Dracula, all of the Vampire films portray the perfect essence of these bloodsuckers. So why does Twilight has to be different? Why do they have to sparkle? I need a damn explanation! I need a little bit of science of how their skin sparkle! But you know what? There was no explanation in the film. He just went saying "I have the skin of a killer" and then Bella sighs "You're beautiful". What the...?

In Queen of the Damned and Blade, they explained why they can walk in daylight because they know how big of a deal it is when Vampires go out in the sun. Lestat doesn't even sparkle, people, and he's way older than Edward! If the movie explained, "It's because of the Spanish Influenza stuck in my skin that's why I sparkle" (LOL!), maybe I'll even fall for that but there was really none and the brainless Bella didn't even bother to ask.

The romance in this film is empty. Obviously the characters are just attracted physically. Recalling the film, the only reason I could muster out of the movie of why he likes her is that he couldn't read her mind...? Dude, you're a vampire! That reason alone is enough to be around her. You don't have to read her mind. Even a mosquito, who's also a bloodsucker, doesn't have to read anyone's mind just to suck their blood. It's already attracted to you because you got blood. But then I remembered that he's supposed to be "vegetarian", so okay then. I'll respect that, but do you have any other reasons why you like her? Come on, you're not that shallow, are you?

In QotD (Queen of the Damned) movie, Lestat (Stuart Townsend) realized why he was attracted to Jesse (Marguerite Moreau). She was beautiful to him because she's human. Her short fragile years seemed more precious than the immortality he's living. He always wanted to be human again, but he can't go back anymore. At the same time, Jesse, who had already read his journal, understood his loneliness and wants to answer to his call for a companion. At least, in this sense, I understand their romance.

And Edward's cheesy lines, GAWD! He's supposed to be a hundred years old, people! Why is he soooooo unoriginal?! Personal brand of heroin? (If Edward said "You're like my personal brand of condom," I bet Bella will say "I like your protection," but then again she doesn't have that originality either. LOL!) You have to say better than that if you've lived for so long. That's why humans are so easy to be attracted to them because vampires lived for so long that they know how to socialize very well. They say the right words at the right time and before they know it they've fallen prey to them. Haha!

But Edward's not that cunning huh? Hmmm... Makes you wonder what had he been doing all those years.

All in all, the movie is not impressive as what Twitards are making it out to be. The characters are poorly fleshed out and the storyline is nothing out of the ordinary. It's just a mediocre flick and the crazy thing about it is the fans that making it too big. So I guess this movie is not as threatening as it is to the Vampire cult. I'm sure there are a lot of other Vampire movies to make in the future, like maybe Anne Rice's remaining 7 other books in the Vampire Chronicles and Underworld sequels. There is still hope to correct the vampire fault that Twilight created. You'll see, this craze will eventually die out.

Stop Whaling, Douchebags!

I've recently gone addicted to watching Whale Wars and their efforts are astonishing. Not only are they risking their lives to stop illegal whaling, but they are also using non-lethal methods to persuade whalers from hunting these gentle giants. And just as I thought that the rest of the world agrees with me, some are sticking their fingers to their buttholes for a long time to become cynics.

I'm a big cynic myself, but I do know when to become one especially to the most ridiculous idiots in the world whom you don't know if they just grow inside their mama's pot bellies and born as fully grown meatbags because they don't appear to have an educated childhood. With the numbers of whales decreasing being killed more in their sanctuaries, some just don't fucking care.

And I hate it. I hate it so much when people don't care at all and they have all the power to protect them. God created us to take care of his creatures, but we end up endangering them. There should always be a balance, but the demand is increasing and whales are in more threat than ever.

I'm even wondering myself. Why would someone eat whale meat? Are we not satisfied with farm animal meat? We have cultured fish, cow, pigs (and some fowls) for our food consumption. Do we culture whales now? I don't think so.

And some fucktards in YouTube agree more on South Park's version of the show. What the fuck? Has the world gone completely brainless? Siding more to a cartoon show than these eco-activists? I shake my head to the most absurd people like them. Of course they won't fire military stuff at the whalers, that's like going down to their level and it makes you no different with them. Duh. That means they're also using their logic more than those stupid South-Park-bum fucktards.

These tards are not even in the frontline of stopping whaling. They're just commenting away like their words are good enough to change the world. What the Sea Shepherd is doing is very difficult and dangerous and not too many people care so much for the environment like that. I may not be in the frontline as well but I support their cause. At least in my little cheer and with the rest of us, we make these guys' spirit soar and do well in their efforts.

The whaling issue has become even bigger when U.S. President Barrack Obama promised to stop whaling. Now, I don't know where the promise has gone to. It's good to know that a very powerful leader cared for Mother Nature, but where is it now? Are those words just fillers for his speech? Has the promise faded and forgotten? And while the rest of the world makes him remember it, I think he's too busy to hear us out.

And while some say that it's in the Japanese culture, so what? I have Japanese blood in me, but I totally don't support a tradition where it involves the future extinction of the species. I'm not that ripped. When it comes to environment, I firmly stand on my beliefs and I believe that saving Mother Nature is more important than patronizing no good cartoons.

All in all, stop whaling! It's illegal and bad for the whales who are endangered. Don't we already know how Mother Nature's wrath is? Plus the karma that comes with it, I imagine a very scary future ahead of us if we keep threatening the ecosystem and disrupting the balance.
