Oh Edward! Sigh..........

Handsome. Slim. Smart. Well-mannered. Super rich. Eloquent.Poetic. Thoughtful. Caring. Protective. Sensitive. Musical. Attentive. Appreciative. Selfless. Perfect. Respects human life. Self-controlled Loves you and you alone forever. The list goes on. That's what I gather of the 109 year old virgin Edward who is forever 17 in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga.

I am currently about to finish book 3, Eclipse after I enjoyed the best movie of the year with both my husband and my girl 5. I always prefer to watch the movie first then the book, I don't know why but there's something beautiful about being able to "see" through the directors' eyes, the characters, the scenery and yes even how the pace and the plot develops even when it is based on the book.

Edward is the grim reminder that no such perfect guy exists in this fallen world. Imagine, he is the type that will get ready the dish-cloth to help Bella when she was about to start washing the dishes. Most guys will disappear and appear when the timing is right. Most guys will be like the dad, Charlie who will be glued to the TV, easily satisfied with a huge delicious porton of home-cooked food.

What I particularly loved about Edward is his taste in music and his musical abilities. He can sing a lullaby and hold Bella to sleep in his cold arms and serenade her with piano music. Of course, as a vampire, he does not need to eat or sleep only hunt occasionally large animals to satisfy his thrist. Another major plus factor, he's always there to cradle her face, brush her cheeks, kiss her and play with her hair. Oh I love that!!! All the gazing deep into the eyes of the one you love takes place mainly before marriage and kids anyway. Sigh...

The other night I actually dreamt of Edward!!! By the way the very first Cullen I dreamt of was Dr Carlisle. Ha. It was a silly dream about conversing with a doctor and I was "studying" his pale face and light brown almost golden eyes. He looked so unreal in the dream yet like the actor Peter Facinelli, he was handsome and cool!!!! Very nice light blonde hair.

The Edward dream was really hilarious. I was watching some high school performances where each team was to take turns and jam on the stage, their own rendition of a certain newly composed song. Most teams did not make it. Either their grooves were out of order or the leads were unable to sing in pitch or whatever. I was laughing at these silly performances because they were so ridiculous!! Then I realised Edward, aka Robert Pattinson lookalike was beside me, laughing in a surreal voice almost melodic but with bell like tone and God!!! Is it really Edward in the movie beside me??? I gasped in the dream, my mouth slightly apart. I was totally mesmerised by his beauty. The perfect jawline, he was at my right, the high nose and sculptured cheek bones and oh..the glistening skin that I could not take my eyes off. So shiny and radiant and pale yet with very light pink undertones.

I was about to ask him," Are you real, Edward?"when Rachel woke me up with a sudden kick to my side. Yes, she jolted me back into reality and crushed the dream fantasy just like that. I know if the dream goes on, I will probably hug and kiss him just to see what it is like!!! Cold, soft yet masculine lips??? Strong, marble like arms??? Maybe I've been reading each night one or two chapters of the book that so captured my heart and soul that its in my sub-conscious. But I really enjoyed the technicolour, 3D, surround sound, well texture dreams that had entertained me since my childhood. Sometimes my dreams are so real, its like watching or being in a movie. No wonder I aspired to be an actress when I was younger and a director after that!!!

Very likely after Eclipse, I will continue with Breaking Dawn. I just cant wait to finish the best non-ficition, almost literature novels that I've ever read in my life.

Thank God for blessing Stephanie Meyer with such a rare talent, such a beautiful writing style. I've become a fan of the entire series and fan of Robert Pattinson as well.

I've watched Remember Me and I think Robert Pattinson is one great actor. Not only is he eye candy, musical and with a nice sense of humour, this guy can really express himself, musically and his acting touches me. He's definitely going to greater heights in this career and in no danger of being type-cast at all, despite the long success of the Twilight Saga.

PS....Hey, Rob, I believe you will enjoy even greater success in whatever you do.
Be true to yourself and all the fans say, "We love you." And I add," Thank God for you."
