11th Diamond: Vampire Diaries



Apparently I am now absorbed in The Vampire Diaries. 
Yes, I mean "absorbed" as in surfing the internet for information, photos, you name it all...
So far, I have come through with a lot and if you see my tumblr, pretty much there's a minimum of 5 
Vampire Diaries related photos, or gifs. Well, anyways, let's go on with the rantings shall we?

It tells a story of a young lady, in highschool, named Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev). Then she met
the vampire guy, Stefan Salvatore -nice last name dude- (Paul Wesley). Then you can pretty much guess
what happens next, they fell in love, comes the brother who's evil, yet alluring Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). And after that, there goes other characters. Some died, some became vampires, some are old
vampires who chase them, some are hunters, some are werewolves. It's a big pack :D

What I find interesting is the story line. Even though the romance parts are quite easy to guess, but there's 
a lot of unexpected twists in the plot. Plus, the cast are quite an eye-candy so, HAHA, I don't mind watching 
at all. It's kind of like an extended version of Twilight, but nicer, and Damon is here so that counts for something. I've recommend it to my friends and they love it! Let's wait for the next season shall we?


As for the books, I have to say....the TV series is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy different than the book...
but then again, same case with Secret Circle (I might rant about it next time). So far, I have only read until the 3rd book, which is The Fury and it has been..okay. Not so great like the Mortal Instruments series, but okay. If I were to rate it, maybe 6 out of 10? The TV series is way better. Much better in fact. And the book is released on 1991 so...that's something.

Now let's move on to the music!
Music is crucial when it comes to setting the mood or giving a certain atmosphere. Like when someone's fighting, I doubt a romantic song would be played, except if the fight leads to u-know-what.
So far, www.vampirediariesguide.com gives out recaps of each episode and the songs used in EACH episode. Yes, EACH OF THEM EPISODES THEY HAVE. Well, they're gonna tell you to buy it on amazon, but at least you know the title and the singer. So far, my personal favorite is "Ocean Wide" by The Afters. There's also James Morrison but I knew it from a few years ago already. There's also Ed Sheeran.
I can't seem to find how to widen the youtube videos here....so I'm not gonna post it. Sorry :)

Since I'm not posting videos, I'll post pictures! Not a lot, but official ones I think...
Look at my tumblr for gifs or maybe more ;) Enjoy~











These are all promotional pictures that I found. Credits goes to vampirediariesguide.com and also
of course, Mr. Google images! I do not own any of these pictures!
Well then, there's more eye candy but I'm just gonna post the official ones, for now...

I am sorry though for barely being active lately...haven't had much time to post anything with exams 
and all. I'll post a lot when I have the time.
Anyways, enjoy watching the TV series. You can watch it on several sites, but a friend of mine
recommend downloading the torrents because it is much easier. Happy watching!!!!

Sincerely yours, 
Alicia Velle.
