A week before 2010, I decided to take a little Twitter detox.

OK at first I said Facebook, blogging, Tumblr, and Twitter but in the end I could only stick to one.

And I realized how much I depend on Twitter. There were so many things I wish I could tweet/retweet and then I had to stop myself.

So to satisfy my craving for the past week, here’s what I wish I could tweet.

“Damn Time Machine is awesome. Combined with my equally awesome and cute WD drive, this is heaven.”

“Never cared for Twitter Lists much until this detox.”

“RT @macTweeter Gunman iPhone app merges LazerTag with augmented reality: http://bit.ly/8HUSeK”

“Is it time to start using Microsoft Office for Mac? Does it still suck?”

“BK Magazine got their dirty hands on Miss Jay Alexander: http://bit.ly/7z6NBK”

“Been using iPhoto ‘09 face detecting features. Why do they keep asking if I’m someone else?”

“Wow the Lin Ping craze just took a creepy turn. Found this at a bakery near the office. [TwitPic]
”

“Got so bored tried to force people to Skype Video with me. Got three victims.”

“Bought a B40 Kit Kat. Comes with two packs and a free Kit Kat shaped pen!”

“So the Honeymoon+travel English edition is finally out after…9 months. With only ONE of my articles on it. Oi!”

“BKK you’re being ridiculous. Being gloomy on the last day of work does not encourage me to be at the office at all.”

“Oh hell yeah! GLEE is coming to Star World Jan 20!”

“Going Club Culture for the NYE. Expect free drinks at midnight. But then since I can’t tweet no one is gonna know about this surprise.”

OK I cheated. I’ve been jotting down those tweets and reading the updates. But it was fun being an observer for a change. I did go through a day without opening Tweetie, both on the Macbook and the iPhone, and that was my proudest moment. I didn’t feel incomplete as I thought I would. And once you’ve missed a heapload of tweets you just can’t be bothered going back reading them all like you would when you missed a few hours.

Happy New Year, by the way.

This hour marks the end of my journey with the Cullens.

Yes I finally managed to get myself that Book 4 against my better
judgement.

I'm going I miss them. Maybe it's time for a second round?

..is damn addictive!

OK, honestly, the writing is a little bland. The sentences aren’t anything I couldn’t come up with. And it’s totally diluting the whole story when everything is thoroughly described, clarified, detailed, explained and elaborated in a series of adjectives like this.

Despite that, and the frequent appearance of vomit-provoking conversations like:

“Will you be?” I asked, suddenly anxious. “Will you really be there?”

“As long as you want me,” he assured me.

“I’ll always want you,” I warned him. “Forever.”

*gags*

Yes, despite all that, the book is pretty addictive. It’s probably due to the fact that I know the movie was missing some major details. And also probably the fact that I have already “seen” Cullen and Bella so there’s no need for a brainwork on my part in imagining my own characters.

Like look, it’s 500-something page long and it’s my second day of acquiring the book and I’m at 3/4 of it already. It took me one whole semester in school to finish one.

And you have no idea how scarce the Twilight books are right now. At major stores like Bookazine, Asiabooks and Kinokuniya are all sold out–until I was told about a little hidden bookstore on the second floor of Villa in soi 33.

And now I am holding probably the last Twilight and New Moon copies in Bangkok.

Yes I already even bought the second one. Damn you, Cullen. I’m this close to scouting out a vampire in Bangkok who would agree to make my boyfriend a sparkly cold one.

Maybe it’s time I picked up a book.

One of my colleagues is like an ambassador for Twilight in the office. She would read during traffic jam, on her BTS ride, while taking the elevator down to lunch, during her low time at work, and heck probably on a date.

And that was way before the Twilight movie fever started.

One thing about this movie though. Book fans hate it, but us normal folks will like it. Well normal folks meaning people who are probably fans of The O.C. and gossip girl.

Vampires in high school. Lame plot but it just works every time. Hello? Buffy?

Both Volchok and Sadie were in the movie. How can an ex-OC devotee not like it?

After the movie, I did what every book lovers will condemn. I Wikipediaed the whole series to see how it ends. Books and I just don’t get along. Today I was having a hard time when I was asked if I ever finished a book. I did. Really. I remember finishing some book.

So now I’m thinking whether I should pick up a copy of Twilight. The pro is, I will get all the details that were said to be left out in the movies. The con, I will now have a face of Robert Pattinson when I’m imagining Edward Cullen, and I would like to have my own version like the rest of the people. It’s impossible to get his smirk out of my head now.

Let’s see. Wel, if I can’t stand the 554 page book, there’s always the movie.

By the way, I think Twilight would rock much more as a TV series.

I’m transferring my iPod music to the iPhone right now and the ones that surprisingly made the cut were the soundtracks from The O.C.

As much as I love my Blair and Chuck moments, no one will ever beat my Sethummer.

It was funny. It was bitchy. It was corning. Gossip Girl can get a little too much sometimes with its snob-bitching.

Listening through the key tracks from the Californian show now like Honey and the Moon and Hallelujah and I realize one thing.

Gossip Girl music selection will never be half as good.

There were times when I was watching an O.C. episode and a song came up and hit me in the head. One of those songs that made me spend hours on the internet trying to find a way to download it, even if it happened to be a track somebody recorded from the show with a tape recorder.

So far none from GG has managed to get me to do that.

Sigh I miss the O.C. I have holidays coming up maybe it’s time I revisited those box sets in the corner of my rooms.
