Renesmee


Renesmee is the half-human, half-vampire daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan who are the main characters of the book series, Twilight Saga, written by Stephanie Meyer. Renesmee comes in the fourth and the final book, Breaking Dawn. What made me write a separate blog on Renesmee is her being such a different character for a baby, or maybe I am unable to give a right word for that. The name Renesmee has been chosen by Bella from Renee and Esme and her full name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen, Carlie being the combination of Charlie and Carlisle.   

 Renesmee has brown eyes which are said to be like her mother and beautiful and also her mother’s cheeks with a light pink touch in them and she has the complexion like Edward which obviously makes her very beautiful. Renesmee drinks blood from a cup from the start of her birth but she’s very patient with humans that mean she has not the uncontrollable factor for humans like the immortal kids and she also has the factor of fascinating anyone who sees her. 

Bella is not allowed to go near Renesmee for some days after her turning into a vampire because she is thought to lose control with Renesmee as she has blood in her veins. Renesmee grows really fast, faster than any human baby and in weeks she looks years old. She can speak from a very young age but she prefers talking to people by touching their cheeks and necks and showing them her thoughts. That was the part I liked when she has to show converse with everyone by touching their cheeks. It was a nice part when Bella finally comes near Renesmee and she asks Rosalie, who is holding her, by touching her cheek that is she the one, means her mother and then she wants to go to Bella urgently. 

Then there is the Jacob-imprinting-on-Renesmee part. It was a pretty good turn of the story, just when I was getting a little bored of the book, when Rosalie unconsciously holds her to her shoulder, Jake ready to kill her because he thinks it’s because of Renesmee that Bella has died and is in agony for losing her and the whole imprinting thing happens as soon as he sees that little face with those familiar brown eyes and how Edward is furious at that and later Bella also gets terribly angry but the whole thing is irrevocable and things somehow starts getting normal as Renesmee likes Jacob too and how Jake is all over protective of her and starts to get along with vampires because he has to. Well, it was weird how Jake got his imprinting too, when his first love Bella was now impossible while all along I had the notion that he and Leah would become a couple.  

And then there was a part that Volturi thinks that Renesmee is an immortale child and comes to destroy her and Bella prepares for Renesmee and Jacob to run away if things got out of control with the Volturi. Though I knew that won’t happen but that was emotional how Bella prepares sadly for Renesmee to flee forever if they lost and the farewell by Edward and Bella. Anyway, reading about Renesmee was the only good part in Breaking Dawn and I was really, really fascinated by her in a weird way I couldn’t understand myself!

Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus

I started watching Disney Channel, which is a channel for children, when i was a teen and among many others, there was a show called Hannah Montana. The show was about a regular teenage girl named Miley Stewart who is also a big pop star with the name Hannah Montana and this side of her identity is completely hidden expect from her family and best friends.

The main Characters of the show are Jackson Stewart, Miley's annoying elder brother, Robbie Ray Stewart, Miley's Dad who was also a famous singer in the past but quit singing, also this guy is also Miley's real dad, Lily Trescot, Miley's best friend and assistant but with a changed name Lola, Oliver Okins, another of Miley's best friend and Rico, a guy of Miley's age but with a very short height who is an evil genius and runs and shack of food and beverages at the beach and where Jackson works.

I loved the show and i still love it. It has four seasons up til now and Ive watched almost every episode. When my cable operator stopped showing Disney Channel, i used to watch the episodes on internet.

The thing is most like about the show is that though it is a kid show but it gives me good laugh and i love her acting plus she is very pretty, duh, and also, i loved her outfits and especially her hair which remained long through season one and two. In the third season she has wavy shoulder length hair which became till her waist again in the fourth season and even though she uses extensions but still she looks good. I liked her hair in the fourth season the most, the brownish auburn hair with highlights, her loose curled waist length locks and her side swept bangs. She acts so naturally and frankly though some people thinks she is over-acting.

First two seasons, Miley looked like a cute kid in the first two seasons but by third and fourth season, Miley started wearing make up and looked mature and hot. "sweet nibblets" and "say what" are the dialogues she used to say a lot. Maybe there are others too but cant remember them right now. In the fourth season, they changed their house and moved to Malibu and i loved the house. Miley is originally from Nashville, Tennessee and hence she has a southern accent. Someone once asked me why i like the show Hannah Montana so much and i said that's because they present life from lighter side.

Getting famous from her show, which was the most popular show on the Disney Channel as none of the other shows got turned into movies, a movie was made of the show, Hannah Montana The Movie.

Her next movie was The Last Song and she gave her voice in the animation movie, Bolt. Miley is probably the most famous among her Disney co-stars like Hilary Duff, Selena Gomez, Raven Simone, Ashley Tisdale, Vennessa Hudgens and Demi Lovato because none of these actresses got as much fame in acting and singing collectively as Miley did and for the record, she was among the richest celebrities at one time.     

Though she started as an actor but she is now more popular because of her singing. She has deep vocals that makes her singing good and she got the singing talents from her dad who was also a singer. The first ever Miley's song i loved was "best of both worlds" which shows in the start of the show. I love the songs, "can't be tamed", "let's dance", "see you again", "party in the USA", "if we were a movie", "the climb", "this is the life" and some others which i don't remember at the moment. She also has her autobiography written, Miles To Go, but i haven't read that. And I'm also of the opinion that Miley is a Free Mason.

I know there are also a few controversies attached to her name but celebrities are nothing without controversies and i don't like her because she's perfect, nobody's perfect, which by the way is also one of her songs, the point is, i just like the laugh that the show gives, her songs and her style, that's all!
