It's already July. Half of the year has already passed by. I'm not really sure if that's a good thing or not. My summer, so far, has been so-so this year. It's not super exciting but still somewhat productive in a way.

It’s also very much overflowing with music in between - very effective when getting away from the heat. Hence three songs from my current summer playlist is up there from the usual one. I'm cross-posting this into my vox since it's one of those - a fandom entry.

I'm far from done in my Summer Reading List. Been in too few Summer Concerts than I technically planned to be - ended up giving the tickets away because relatives and friends kept on dropping by unannounced so had to change plans. Been in too few Movie Premieres and Screenings but that's entirely my fault. I was just too lazy to go.

I've been very fickle lately. I blame the heat.

Speaking of being lazy. I'm also passing on AX this year because I'm not interested with their main events, or their concerts for that matter. They had six last year, they downgraded to two because apparently it's disastrous (to their staff) what happened last year.

Although, I am planning to go to the (gasp) San Diego Comic Con 2008 three weeks from now. Granted, I'm not going on a Saturday where most of the big events are happening. It just gets too crowded for me.

Imagine artists, filmmakers, authors/writers, actors/actresses, etc .. AND their fandom all in one convention.They don't call it the International Comic Con for nothing you know.

But this year, I just have to go because of this:

The cast of TWILIGHT will be appearing live at the 2008 Comic-Con in San Diego held in July. Scheduled to attend are director Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart (Bella), Robert Pattinson (Edward), Cam Gigandet (James), Rachelle LaFevre (Victoria), Edi Gathegi (Laurant), Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) and Stephenie Meyer!

This incredibly talented group will be participating in a panel discussion, autograph signings, and more!  TWILIGHT surprises will also be at the Summit Entertainment booth (#4413) throughout the weekend.

I am a bit disappointed I don't see Ashley Greene (Alice) and Kellan Lutz's (Emmett) name in that list. I'm hoping that Summit tries to bring the whole cast which most of the time isn't possible because actors have busy schedules. But here's to hoping that if the Spiderman 3 cast can pull it off -- bring their WHOLE cast to the Comic Con -- maybe Twilight could. Haha. ;]

So yeah. I'm doing this all for the Twilight Fandom since this is The Twilight Year. Last Book (in Bella's POV) on August 2nd, Comic Con (July), Movie (December), Oh.. and the Concert which of course I already got tickets for.

The Breaking Dawn Concert Series. Yep.  I'm going to the Royce Hall one (UCLA). It's too close (to my place) to pass up. I am going with dragging 290 and a friend mostly just to see Stephenie Meyer, again. Saw her during her The Host signing tour. I am totally shipping Ian O'Shea and Wanda, by the way. I'm hoping to see her on the Comic Con and then at the Concert Series.. and I don't know what's my plan next after that.

It's been a while since I posted some desktop screenshots here. So yeah.. here's a few of them. Desktop Wallpaper Spammage! If you've seen my old, old, olddddd wallpaper stuff before you might have noticed my style -- if you can even call it style -- has changed. A lot. Hopefully in a good way, though. =]

February 2008 Desktop. Pretty plain. I was really busy during that month .. so yeah. I wanted it to just look like a clean table of some sort but someone pointed out to me that instead of a table it looks more like a wall. I have to say he's right.u_u

I can't find my April one. Lol. :( But here's TWO for the month of May.

Here's another one for May 2008. A desktop screenshot within the desktop screenshot. Pretty much the same as the other one except this shot has docks and tabs. I just felt like staring into GRASS for some reason. I also have it as a wallpaper on my phone. I'm weird, yes I know! As usual, I was procrastinating during that time so as I was brainstorming -- or pretending to -- I ended up changing my wallpaper.

I'm currently lazy to take a shot of my current desktop. I might just include it on my year-end batch of desktop spammage. Ha ha. Anyways, thanks for looking! =]

Props to anyone who gets the reference of the title the first time they read it! =] To those who didn't. You guys have to watch this, specially if you're a Twilighter. Hah! Note: Twilight Movie Spoilers.

So yesssss, a post dedicated to the one of the most awesome fictional characters ever made, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Yep! If you had doubts before if I am a dorkette or nerdette (lol, make up words, make up words!) now you don't need to doubt anymore because I just verfied it by making an obligatory HAPPY BIRTHDAY post for a fictional character. To be fair, he's a very awesome fictional character though!

So here's a picture spam of my favorite stupid, shiny (silver) volvo owner. Also known as the stupid, unreliable vampire who thinks 'the waste of finite resources is everyone's business'. Including the love of his (immortal) life, Isabella Swan.

Hi, there! It's been a while isn't it? I really have not much things to say right now eventhough I really have tons of things to share. Anyways, the principal shooting for the Twilight movie has come to a close but that doesn't mean the film is done! Far away from it. Post production is now about to start, music, editing, visual effect, etc, still a lot of work left to do.

I know people have seen this already but just to make my own personal Twilight fangirling.. I figured I might as well post my own entry about it.

Twilight; Promo Pictures

8 comments

So this is the first of the promotional pictures for Twilight. Alice is looking awesome in this promo pic, btw. While Edward is giving you this 'Touch Bella and I'll kill you' look. Edward's temper = Hot but there's still A LOT of space for improvement.

But anyways, aside from the promo pic, the biggest news of all is the upcoming Twilight Teaser Trailer coming out next week, as promised by Summit which is the first week of May. A few 'insiders' have already seen this teaser and apparently this 50-second of Twilight Heaven is good. Better, apparently, than what you've seen in the MTV News Website. I hope it's true. *crosses fingers*

The teaser is also, apparently, going to be shipped in with the Speed Racer movie so if you do happen to watch the Speed Racer movie, you'll get to see the Twilight Teaser in the big screen. I'm not watching it though, I'm kinda feeling iffy about the Speed Racer movie so I'll just be a patient Twilight fangirl and wait until the Teaser appears in the Official Twilight Website, which apparently will have it before the big screen anyway. =]

What else is there to fangirl about.. *thinks* I've been reading a lot of books lately. As usual, my latest YA addiction is over Polly Shulman's Enthusiasm novel. I was way too late on the bandwagon of this one, that I literally had my copy back-ordered because it was sold out in every bookstore that's near my place. I was also busy devouring over Sarah Dessen's new novel, Lock and Key and I can't wait until I can grab a hold my copy of Stephenie Meyer's The Host.

Now another thing, the special edition of Eclipse is just right around the corner. So what about it, you ask, right? Well.. it includes the first chapter of Breaking Dawn. I'm getting it for sure, but the problem is.. to peek or not to peek!? D: I can't make up my mind and I don't even have my copy yet! And also, apparently in the UK, Borders is releasing a special sample of the Midnight Sun chapter alongside with the The Host novel. So if you buy The Host, you get the special Midnight Sun sample. I've seen the sample covers online but there's no confirmation yet if that's pretty much it, or there's more. So we gotta wait, haha.

It's been a while.. I haven't fan-girled here for so long! Anyways a big Twilight update, although I'm pretty sure this isn't really something new but just for the sake of those who are behind the news, I figured might as well make a post here.

Hello awesome people!

Haven't been really active in Vox. I love the community here though that's why I decided to keep this journal even though I don't post here anymore. That, and since I'm hosting a few groups here, Shoujo Lovers for instance. I can't just really leave the place! You guys are addictive!

Anyways, just letting you guys know that I'm still here and I'm sorry about the unanswered private messages. Been too busy these past few months so my attention span is a bit screwed up. If I still owe you something, like a promise, or a banner of some sort -- don't hesitate to remind me! It's not a bother at all. I'm actually ashamed that I forget these things. ><;;

Oh by the way, I decided to cut back on the media blogging since there's a lot of people doing it anyway. So yeah, I just started another public journal though. Another, you say? My boyfriend guilt tripped me into putting all my public entries into one place so I'm currently in the process of transferring everything starting from last year.

Anyways so yeah if you're feeling bored or miss my nonsense rambles, don't hesitate to drop by. It's here. I have a book gallery set up there - although there's really not much books there -- yet! To those who wants me added to their neighborhood here at Vox. Don't be shy. Just go ahead. The more the merrier. I still read my neighbor's entries, although I don't comment a lot.

Happy Holidays!

Love,
Cherish.

P.S. Anyone here uses Pownce? I don't really use it but if anyone wants a code for it let me know or leave a message here. I currently have 20 unused. I was cleaning my email and I saw it. Don't hesitate to ask, it'll just go to waste if you don't. n_n

I stopped watching The Simpsons since like years ago.. a big part probably was because Futurama came, and then Family Guy but today my boyfriend decided to surf channels because he wanted to watch "regular" TV for once. Then this commercial from the Simpson's upcoming movie came.

I still can't stop giggling everytime I see this. Man.. am I easy to please or what? n_n There's also another trailer when the pig transformed into Harry Plopper but I think this one is better. xD

So I finished making the power pop (j-pop) mix that I've been ranting about on my online journal (the one here in Vox is my media blog to those not aware! n_n). It actually took me a while than expected to prepare it but I'm happy with the finished product.

The mix is made for a very special friend who wanted me to recommend a few japanese songs that suits her taste. She's not really into j-pop but she really enjoy songs that have a very pop'ish rhythm on them. So I tried my best to pick songs that she will like and arranged them into a mix.

Since I treat it as a personal gift to my dear friend. I really prefer that it would be one of a kind so I'm not sharing it here. Sorry. n_n;; But just to give you an idea on how it came out here's five of the songs (on their original versions) that was included in it. Stand Alone Player Here. n_n

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Deluxe Bloomsbury UK Special Edition (Harry Potter UK Deluxe Fi

J. K. Rowling

So someone linked me to the leaked Harry Potter book 7 online last Monday. It's the real thing since I've always trusted this person when it comes to leaks of manuscripts, music, etc.

I have yet to read it thoroughly but I scanned it. Am I the only one who thinks that it was a big "character massacre" fest? D: The ending was also very predictable but the parts I read was still enjoyable nonetheless. The epilogue was nice, btw because well.. I don't want to give out spoilers so let's just leave it at that. It was nice. n_n

My boyfriend is mad at me for reading the leaked pdf file of it because we already pre-ordered the books couple of months ago. Well.. that's the reason why I didn't read all of it in the first place. :(

Oh, and I feel bad for the people who are gonna be in the book launch and gets spoiled by meanies who are already planning to distribute "spoiler flyers" at the launch. =/

A note of advice if you're going to the launch. If someone hands you a folded piece of paper do NOT open it regardless of what it seems to be. It's a list of who died in the book (lots of them!) and what page numbers it was on. n_n;;

If you want a tiny bit of spoiler. Here's a picture of a page from the book where one of the character dies. I'm posting this one because it's been leaked before anyway so it's not a surprise of some sort. SPOILER PAGE HERE.

Show us something that's ridiculously cute.

Remember I went to Anime Expo last weekend to attend the SKIN, SOS, and Anna Tsuchiya Concert? Aside from the concerts two reasons that I went were the AMV Contest and the Masquerade. Sadly, I think the Masquerade this year was a bit of a let down.

Frankly speaking I think the lighting and stage sucked. =/ Anaheim was better! Bring AX back to Anaheim please! :( But yes, I think this was cutestttttt skit from the Masquerade. xD
