i have completed the zara series

este... i have completed the twilight series pala hehe. marlon borrowed the 1st book so i could only show 3. hehe. i don't know what hit kuya when he decided to cover the books using zara paper bags. dyahe tuloy pag nagbabasa sa bus, people tend to stare when they see the cover. they seem to think, what is this crazy girl doing reading a zara book? and what is a zara book?

my favorites are books 3 and 4. i could tell because i didn't want to put them down. especially book 4! i slept at 2am last night but i spared 20 pages for today. it was not because i was sleepy, it was because i feared i won't wake up early for work today. so i read the remaining 20 pages on my way to work this morning. 4 pages to go and i had to alight. bwisit. 4 pages na lang nabitin pa ko. so i had to endure the agony of waiting for 9 hours before i finished the last 4 pages. oa.

nakarelate akong big time kay bella when she said that she has learned to accept the fact that she was just an average girl. feeling ko, parang walang bagay na masasabi kong magaling ako. hahaha! susme naging negative lang ang effect ng book sakin. ano ba yan. naging pessimist na ba talaga ako? no. let me explain.

i was just an average student. i never excelled in terms of grade. i don't have a "real" talent. umiindak pero hindi dancer. kumakanta pero hindi singer. nakakabasa ng nota at nakakatugtog ng simple pieces pero 'di pianist. alam ang A-G chords, isama mo na ang minor chords pero 'di guitarist. mahilig mag draw pero hindi kaakit-akit. favorite mag swim pero breast stroke lang ang kaya kong languyin nang 'di napapagod, may kabagalan pa. hahaha! nagluluto pero who couldn't (i believe anybody who could read could also learn how to cook)?

i don't mean to degrade myself... my point is, i don't have an expertise. i could "somehow" do things, but hindi pang medalya. haha! just the average. when asked, "marunong ka ng ganito?" i answer, "medyo". hehe. hindi ba yung "ay oo magaling ako dyan! ganito yan o..."

my connection with bella snapped when she said she was just an average until she became immortal, it was then that she radiated and beamed! bongga! not that i want to become a supernova someday. that's why the connection snapped. i feel this is just me. i don't want spotlights. i don't want to shine. i just want to be a speck among the crowd, the staff of the lead role, the tire-changer of the racer. i don't want power! hahaha ang taas ng pangarap!

i will miss the stardust effect of this fairy tale book. i love the concept of imprinting. i love nessie's character. and charlie's. and seth's. i love their little house in the forest - where magic is made. hehe. i love bella's mind power. i love the mala-nancy-drew-hardy-boys-mysteries twists. i love how edward reads jacob's thoughts. and how the wolves couldn't hide anything from each other.

i'll have to say meyer is one cool writer :) i love the zara books! woohoo! i don't love the mushy scenes, though... i read those parts in a haste (uuy mashonda na, di na masyadong kinikilig). is it really over? i would love to read a book 5.

* because of the zara wrapper thing, only the title "twilight" registered in my memory. i don't have recollection of the title of the other 3 books. hehehe. that's why i call them the zara books.
