"If you say you don't have money to help a animal shelter, why then do you have money to buy meat?" ~ Tsem Tulku Rinpoche
"The Twilight series falls under the genre of young adult, fantasy, and romance, though Meyer categorized her first book, Twilight, as "suspense romance horror comedy".[11] However, she states that she considers her books as "romance more than anything else".[11] The series explores the unorthodox romance between human Bella and vampire Edward, as well as the love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob, a werewolf.[12] The books avoid delving into provocative sex, drugs, and harsh swearing because, according to Meyer, "I don't think teens need to read about gratuitous sex."[13]
The books are written in first-person narrative, primarily through Bella's eyes with the epilogue of the third book and a part of the fourth book being from Jacob's point of view. When asked about the structure of the novel, Meyer described her difficulty to pinpoint the premise of the novels to any specific category:
I have a hard time with that. Because if I say to someone, 'You know, it's about vampires,' then immediately they have this mental image of what the book is like. And it's so not like the other vampire books out there–Anne Rice's and the few that I've read. It isn't that kind of dark and dreary and blood-thirsty world. Then when you say, 'It's set in high school,' a lot of people immediately put it in another pool. It's easy to pigeonhole with different descriptions.[14]
The books are based on the vampire myth, but Twilight vampires differ in a number of particulars from the general vampire lore. For instance, Twilight vampires have strong piercing teeth rather than fangs; they glitter in sunlight rather than burn; and they can drink animal blood as well as human blood. Meyer comments that her vampire mythology differs from that of other authors because she wasn't informed about the canon vampires, saying,
It wasn't until I knew that Twilight would be published that I began to think about whether my vampires were too much the same or too much different from the others. Of course, I was far too invested in my characters at that point to be making changes... so I didn't cut out fangs and coffins and so forth as a way to distinguish my vampires; that's just how they came to me.[15]"

I have read some parts of the books. I thought they were not badly written. The movie was still okay.
I think that Stephenie Meyer has worked very hard to produce this series. But just these types of books were not my style as I am not a romantic person.
I think that this series of books are okay for teenagers but not good for kids as it touches a lot of adult topics.
To all parents who might be reading this post, Twilight is okay for kids who are at least 13 but I think that parental guidance is still recommended.
I find that Stephenie Meyer may have been inspired by J.K. Rowling. I noticed a few similarities. Jacob Black = Sirius Black ? Just joking. Just something to keep in mind. Haha!
I hope some people would enjoy this book even though some people might not. It is a good read for teenage girls.

While I was surfing the internet I found a video that went pretty viral. It is called Friday by Rebecca Black≥ THe video is posted below:
I am okay with this song. The lyrics are okay. The only bad thing is that there is a massive amount of autotune abuse.
Try watching this one (it is by glee):
To me it is a much better as there are original voice talents even though it is from a bad singer.
Glee makes everything feel better.
Oh yeah, nearly forgot the reason I am posting this.
I am posting this to say that some people have the good karma to be famous but they do not have enough good karma to be liked.
I think that everyone should be loved no matter what as long as they tried their best.
I am guessing that the result of their dislike is from lack of training or bad karma from previous lives or this life. Nevertheless, she should be happy that she has a human rebirth. We should be to.
Her official music video has been removed from youtube due to a fight with the record company but I think that the real truth is that she could not handle the amount of hate and death threats she was receiving. I guess a scar like that would last for awhile.
I hope that she would have a happy life and would soon find a chance to go on a path of greatness.

Around 11 p.m. Mama took me to 1 Utama to watch a movie. I heard from Mama that Rinpoche was paying for the tickets. I was really surprised.
After a few more minutes, something amazing happened. H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche appeared. He was going to watch the movie with us.
The movie was GOLD class. It is the one with the reclining seats and the blankets.
We were watching X-Men First Class. Here is the synopsis by Wikipedia (warning: Spoiler alert!):

We were watching X-Men First Class. Here is the synopsis by Wikipedia (warning: Spoiler alert!):
At a German concentration camp in occupied Poland in 1944, young Erik Lensherr is separated from his parents by Nazi guards. The child's desperate mind remarkably bends a metal gate until a guard knocks Lensherr unconscious. Scientist Dr. Schmidt[4] who has observed this through a window calls Lensherr up to see him. Placing a metal coin on a desk, he orders Lensherr to use his magnetism power to move it. When Lensherr cannot, despite his best efforts, Schmidt shoots and kills Lensher's mother in front of him. In his rage, Lensherr's out-of-control magnetic power kills the two guards and destroys two rooms, to the scientist's delight. Around this same time, in a Westchester County, New York mansion, a young Charles Xavier meets a young, shape-shifting girl named Raven, scrounging for food in the kitchen. Overjoyed to meet someone else "different" like him, he says she can come live with his family.
In Switzerland in the movie's present-day of 1962, Lensherr forces a banker to trace a bar of Nazi gold to the scientist's address in Argentina. There he finds a tavern patronized by former German soldiers. Lensherr kills the three men after he learns that the scientist has a yacht in Florida. Meanwhile, in England, Oxford University graduate Xavier is publishing his thesis on mutation; his foster sister Raven, a waitress, lives with him. Simultaneously in Las Vegas, Nevada, CIA agent Moira MacTaggert follows U.S. Army Colonel Hendry into the Hellfire Club, where she sees Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, and Azazel. After Shaw threatens Hendry, Azazel disappears with the officer; moments later he is in the War Room, advocating that U.S. install nuclear missiles in Turkey. Shaw later kills him, demonstrating his energy-absorbing mutant power and revealing that he is Schmidt, de-aged.
MacTaggert seeks Xavier's advice on mutation, and introduces him and Raven to the CIA, where they convince her chief that mutants exist and Shaw is a threat. Xavier tracks him down as Shaw escapes a battle with Lensherr, whom Xavier brings to a secret CIA science facility run by an unnamed agent (called the Man in Black in the movie's credits). They meet young scientist Hank McCoy, a prehensile-footed mutant whom Xavier inadvertently outs. McCoy and Raven feel a kinship, and McCoy promises her he will find a way to make them look "normal." Xavier then uses a computerized mutant-locating device, Cerebro, to find and recruit mutants for training to stop Shaw. They find Angel Salvadore at a strip club; Armando Muñoz, who will take the code name Darwin, driving a taxi; Alex Summers, who will call himself Havok, confined at an Army base; and Sean Cassidy, who dubs himself Banshee, at an aquarium. Raven takes the name Mystique. Xavier and Lensherr also attempt to recruit Wolverine, who rejects them.
Shaw plans to meet with a Russian general, but instead sends Frost, whom Xavier and Lensherr capture. Meanwhile, Azazel, Riptide and Shaw attack the CIA facility, killing everyone but the young mutants and offering them the chance to join him. Angel accepts. Darwin tries to rescue her as the others attack in vain, and Shaw kills him. With the facility destroyed, Xavier take Lensheer and the youngsters to his family mansion, where they train. McCoy devises protective uniforms and a stealth jet. Xavier helps Lensherr unlock his potential.
President John F. Kennedy institutes a blockade to stop a Russian ship from moving nuclear missiles to Cuba in the real-life Cuban Missile Crisis. Shaw travels with the Russian fleet to ensure that the missiles arrive, knowing it could trigger World War III, after which mutants will rule. The night before Xavier and the others go to the blockade line to stop Shaw, who will undoubtedly be there, McCoy offers Raven his cure for her appearance. After having spoken with Lensherr about mutant pride, she refuses. McCoy, in his lab, injects the cure, which backfires and renders him a hairy, leonine beast. Regardless, he pilots the mutants MacTaggert to the blockade line. Shaw, in a submarine wears a custom helmet to block Xavier's telepathy — which Xavier uses to have a Russian ship destroy the missile freighter. After Banshee locates Shaw, Lensherr pulls Shaw's submarine from the water, but an attack from Riptide forces the jet and submarine to crash.
While the other mutants fight, Lensherr finds Shaw in a psychic blackspot within the sub's wreckage of his submarine. He removes Shaw's helmet, allowing Xavier to take control of Shaw. Lensherr puts on the helmet, then kills Shaw by forcing the concentration-camp coin through his brain.
The two fleets fire their missiles at the mutants, but Lensherr turns the missiles back onto them. In an ensuing fight, Xavier distracts Lensherr and neutralizes the missile threat. MacTaggert fires at Lensherr, who deflects the bullets; one accidentally strikes Xavier in the spine, paralyzing him. Lensherr, remorseful, leaves with Mystique, Angel, Riptide and Azazel. Later, a wheelchair-bound Xavier and the mutants return to the mansion, where he will open a school. Xavier wipes MacTaggert's memory of recent events.Lensherr breaks Frost from confinement, and in his new uniform tells her to call him Magneto.

I had a very fun time.
We later had supper with Rinpoche. I had a Roti Canai with Egg and Onion. Rinpoche had a Maggi Soup.
All of us were talking about the X-Men movie after the movie and over supper. We had a great time.
Another great movie coming would be the wonder woman movie:)
