Vampire vs Dracula

Vampire vs Dracula

‘’Dracula was what the locals called Nosferatu, the Un-Dead. You may more readily recognize the creature by its common name :vampire.’’  I quoted from the book ‘’DRACULA THE UN-DEAD’’ by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt.

It seemed to be a continuing story  from DRACULA ( a horror novel by the Irish writer Bram Stoker. The novel was first published in England in 1897.)

Its plot is mainly about A young solicitor named Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to sell a house to a nobleman named Dracula. He soon realizes that the Count is a vampire. Dracula traps Harker in his castle, and travels to England. He then preys on the young woman Lucy Westenra, and turns her into a vampire. Then he bites Jonathan's wife Mina. Because of this, the other characters, led by Professor Abraham van Helsing, go on a mission to find and kill Dracula.

Other famous adaptations of Dracula :

§  1922, Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror). First adaptation of the novel. Directed by F. W. Murnau. Max Schreck has the role of Count Orlok. They could not get permission to use the actual story from Stoker's widow, who ordered many copies of the film to be destroyed, after its release and the people are found.

§  1931, Dracula. Horror, directed by Tod Browning and stars Béla Lugosi as Dracula.

§  1958, Horror of Dracula. Horror, stars Christopher Lee as Count Dracula.

§  1979, Dracula. Horror, stars Frank Langella as Dracula.

§  1979, Love at first bite. Comedy, stars George Hamilton as Count Vladimir Dracula.

§  1992, Bram Stroker's Dracula. Horror directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Gary Oldman as Dracula.

§  Dracula: Dead and Loving it. Comedy, directed by Mel Brooks and stars Leslie Nielsen as Count Dracula.

§  Van Helsing is a 2004 movie that has Hugh Jackman as the title character (Gabiel Van Helsing) and Richard Boxburgh as Count Vladislaus Dracula.

As for vampire….  According to tradition, a vampire is a person who does not die, an "un-dead," whose corpse rises from the grave at night and seeks to suck the blood of the living. The vampire must return to the grave at dawn.

Vampires were once people but have a supernatural curse. Some vampires must drink blood to survive. They do this by biting people or animals on the neck with their two long fangs. People who are killed by having their blood drank by vampires may also become vampires. Others can live off the life energy of people. In many stories, vampires can change into other animals, usually bats, though also wolves, cats or rats.

*I favour Vampire diaries than twilight. Interview with the vampire is a sexy movie. True Blood is too 18+ for me  LOL  *

Dracula has influenced how the modern West views vampires that it can be said that the characteristics of Dracula are the characteristics of all vampires. Dracula will be burned by the sun, warded off by a cross, garlic, or holy water. He sleeps in his coffin during the day that is filled with his native Transylvanian dirt. He can turn into a bat at will. He has amazing powers of seduction and wills his victims to voluntarily give their throats to him.

Summary:
1.Vampires and Dracula are undead creatures that suck the blood of humans.
2.The image and characteristics of Dracula have influenced Western perception of all vampires.
3.The historic roots of vampires go far back into the human consciousness and are connected with superstition and ancestor worship whereas Dracula specifically finds his ancestry in the historic person of Vlad the Impaler.

* Found an interesting place : Dracula 's Castle . It's in Traian Mosoiu St, Bran.

Hello to 2012 ! Goodbye 2011 :)

Oops ! :) 2 days left to 2012.

How should i feel ? Excited ? Happy ? Nervous ? :P ;P

I feel excellent. The timing is just nice, not too slow nor too fast.

Damn, i am gonna like it so so much, i bet.

Before we move on to another year, let's enjoy this year for several more hours ... yup ! ENJOY !!! It's all about ENJOY now . how fun and cool does it sound ?? ;D

Okay, time to reflect on what I have done throughout this year. Let's see.......

academically, I have completed one semester of CFAB ( Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business ) , some sort of certificate similar to CAT which promotes me to proceed in ICAEW ( The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales ) instead of ACCA.

I have also completed one semester of AUSMAT ( Australian Matriculation programme ) which enables me to further my studies in Australia (especially southern Australian if i am not mistaken ).

Well, it may sounds pitiful that both semesters which i have completed have no effect on my resume. >< But might be a little bit helpful to enhance my knowledge and broaden my world before hand. In the same time, they give me more than enough time to prepare myself to the outside world.

Is the past still exist?

Sometimes when I come across some places, some scenes, things flash through my mind very quickly. I learnt to let those things come and pass easily. The past is still the past, but never a past to be bad, even the awful ones, they are considered as good. Indeed, every past event should be valuable and be appreciated as they eased our life challenges. They taught us to be a wiser person.

Live in regret? Never do. If you regret on everything that happens to you, it is quite ridiculous, don’t you think so? And please don’t say your ‘sad’ story again and again. Because apparently it will become a habit, a very very bad one. You are spreading negative messages throughout the atmosphere. You make your point and people start to pity on you and treat you better in the thought that you are pitiful. But is that exactly what you want? Stand up little girl, even a broken heart can’t be that bad.

Inadvertently, I already buried the past deep down. I realized that I need a few days to really come out with some pictures. The past that I often repeat in the last few years suddenly becomes worthless and no means to be appeared in my mind at all. It may be good in terms of I already untied the knot between the past and the present and also stay away from any struggling. The past benefits me in which it teaches me what to do and what not to.

Perhaps, in my life, challenges find me, no need for me to waste my effort to go out and search for challenges. Life challenges, everyone is still experiencing it. I know the fun inside of it. :) Some people are pretty interested in my story. They love to hear what I say, most importantly what I have experienced throughout these years. In the real situation, I am generous to share my story with others. Hope to influence the world with it too. I can literally become a storyteller as well. However, no one knows my full story. No one will ever know. I guess the most also 50%. This is the key for me to be an interesting person; people may think I am full of secrets? LOL

 Wake up from nightmares and come back to reality.

“Life is short, Break the Rules.

Forgive quickly, Kiss SLOWLY.

Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably

And never regret ANYTHING

That makes you smile.”

― Mark Twain

‘Pain makes you stronger. Tears make you braver. Heartbreak makes you wiser. So thank the past for a better future.’
